The business model has…read morechanged over the years (downward) Price of pastry increased 3 fold over 3 years... go figure $ 2.45 per specialty donut (Today- Orange Swirl Glaze) $ 2.10 per regular glaze donut $ 3.99 per Napple This location has much to be desired. Here is my story They selection and quantity of pastry is slim; considering today was National Donut Day? Why not increase your inventory? I bought the 4 last glaze donuts until the truck comes in from Waipahu where their bakery and restaurant preparation facility is located. Their refrigerated gondola holding the pies and cakes that require refrigeration doesn't work well. Perspiration on the glass facia makes it hard to see the goodies. Entrance, Exit and Parking.... Boy oh boy I have too much to say about this but in short, entrance on Nimtz and Ala Moana Blvd and exit ONLY on Nimtz (heading west) so if you're heading back to Honolulu, be aware of the traffic exits. So why do I go to this location? Convenience if I'm heading back to downtown Honolulu and my unending desire to support local, especially an establishment that has been around a long while. AND they do have the best Rainbow Chiffon Cake on this island. BUT for this location, Rainbow Cakes available with an advance order only

This place gave off a cold and dead feeling upon entering the restuarant. Sour faces and not one hello greeting of any kind happening here. One of the guys faces looked like he was sucking on a super sour lemon. The good looked good and not to pricy. Nothing food was was over Six dollars till I cam to the front countets where prices rose to $12.XX. Since neither my wife or I felt a positive vibe from this place, we decided to look elsewhere.

Best Catering Experience…read more This year, I had to plan my company's 21st anniversary party. I literally looked up and found and communicated with EVERY caterer on this island. I am so happy I chose EAT HONOLULU The Good * Jocelyn was so EASY and FUN to work with, she was cooperative and creative with what I wanted for the party and even helped me out according to my tight budget * Not to forget to mention she's a certified wine sommelier - so she helped me alot with selecting the wines for the party * Both Jocelyn and Chef David were very knowledgable about their tastes and foods that when they'd tell me about the great options I couldn't help but get excited and pee a little in my pants because I LOVE FOOD! * On the night of the party, they showed up and prepared everything on time. I really didn't have to do anything that night which was surprising because I was expecting to actually WORK instead of enjoying the party. I GOT TO ENJOY THE PARTY! *Their whole staff was attentive, friendly, professional, and enjoyable. * This was an all-pupu party. *Beef tataki was hands-down my favorite *Caprese Crostini was so good too! The Bad * The size of my stomach because I WANTED TO EAT MORE! The Weird * Literally everything I set into my mouth at the party was so delicious (as dirty as that sounds.. but it's true!!) I received countless compliments on how good the catering was for this party, and it just reassures me that I went with the right caterer :)!

Do you ever tell yourself not to do something bc you know better but then you find a way to do it…read moreanyway? Yep, that's the story of my TWO visits here! Lol So the story goes: I was checking out my Yeep-friends' reviews, check-ins, photos, and tips when I happened upon my fellow Yeep Cin T.'s reviews about this place called, "EAT"! Her amazing review is what pushed me over to go find this place! Thanks so much for your awesome meat-burger-filled review, Cin T.!!! OMGoodness for the aiyaiyai-YUM!!! :D I'm more of a lamb, turkey, fish, and veggie type of eater and it looked like I could make it work here :D The food selections and review descriptions most obviously intrigued me so I took a screen shot of the business page and general Yelp photos for a reminder of what's offered and decided to go in search of EAT next time I'm in town during the week day. First Visit - As good luck happened, they were still open at 1:30 p.m. (for some reason their Yelp page said they close at 2 but there I found out it's actually 3! Yay!) so I ventured a visit. I easily found parking conveniently in the GENTRY BUSINESS CENTER nka NA LIMA KUKUI lot where there are a lot of stalls, and walked right into the complex. EAT was easy to find right at the front as you enter the main open entrance area. I actually wanted to try the SURF N TURF with turkey patty substitute (for their yummy Kulana Beef) but they already had run out of turkey so I allowed myself to be swayed into trying their turkey club and then add a side of their soft shell crab. I placed my order with a side of SHOESTRING FRIES and a REFILLABLE BOTTOMLESS LEMONADE. The wait was pretty long but I guess they make it hot and fresh just like Jack (in-the-Box does) so it was absolutely worth the wait. TURKEY CLUB with SOFT SHELL CRAB SAND ($8.99 + $6.99 = $15.98!? crazy ugh) My concoction (bc I made it up the chef said!) was deeeeelicious! Needed to eat it with two hands to hold it all together! The great thing about it? Once I was done, the other half was ready to go! More Y-U-M! :D The turkey was soft, tasty deli meat. It's got nicely-seasoned good taste but just not my thing unless it's freshly-baked turkey meat. FRIES ($2.90) were ahhh just OK. I'm a major fries person (I'll eat them with chopsticks or fork if no chopsticks!) and there really needed to be more plus they really need to be cooked until crispy. Perhaps next time I'll remember to ask for extra crispy fries! .) LEMONADE ($2.75) Pleasant, fresh, delicious lemony taste! Worth it if it's endless refillable! Lemons are good for ya! :) Second Visit - I called 15 minutes ahead and ordered just the SOFT SHELL CRAB SANDWICH ($9.99) (with POLENTA FRIES, $3.75) bc again ...guess what? They ran out of fresh turkey burger patties! Wimper :( but oh well - There's always another lunch day, right!? :D Besides, this was a very good opportunity to try just the soft shell crab by itself (as Cin T. suggested). When I arrived after 20 minutes, it was just about ready to go and off I went headed to my work meeting! Awesome! Except for one thing! They forgot my polenta fries and I didn't have any time to wait! :/ You would think I'd learn my lesson by now, right?! Nope! Both visits the soft shell crab was so delicious - not oily but soft inside, a bit crunchy on the outside with the taste and feeling of comfort food when you're chewing it going down into the depths of your happy stomach lining...ahhhhh...! If only they were open right now as I'm reminiscing..I mean typing this! Anyway, the happy news is that I'm definitely going back (for guess whaaaat? Lol!) but next time I'm gonna call ahead in the morning or when they first open to order that dastardly jk! turkey patty as substitute for their Kulana beef patty to make my personal lol TURKEY PATTY SURF N TURF ($13.99 for me one of these days! Haha!) and hopefully, just hopefully, I'll finally get to try their awesome crunchy gotta-have POLENTA FRIES! Letcha know what happens at my impending third visit! I guess sometimes you just gotta do what your tummy wants you to do! Hahaha!! :D

While I was still browsing, Cece told a customer that the container that she was looking at was a seafood sushi bake. Then the customer walked away and I snatched it up! Yay me!. It was heavenly!

I paid $33 for 6 brownies, and that was only because they were running a buy 3, get 1 free special. One thing to note is that there's no pricing listed on most of the baked goods--only the cupcakes--so you don't really know what you're spending until checkout. Overall, great quality, just a bit pricey and could use clearer pricing.

Snack time in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I was driving down Dillingham Boulevard when this cafe caught my attention. There was no First To Tip for the business, so I thought that I should investigate... Xpresso Cafe & Mini Mart is located at a small strip mall on the corner of Kalihi Street and Dillingham Boulevard. The shared parking might be tight at times because of the hair salon and medical clinic next to it, but I was able to get free parking easily. Service was different because I was taking photos while being observed. There was no menu posted, so I had to ask what was available. The worker pointed at the menu boards that displayed "no signal". That's too bad. I wanted to order something, but I didn't know what they had. I asked for a smoothie - what kind of flavors are there? She mentioned honeydew, strawberry with banana, and lychee. I chose the Dragonfruit and expected a different color. She said that they didn't have boba... okay... it tasted alright and saved me from dehydration... LOL! Well, it was an awkward experience. I wandered around the convenience store side, but I wasn't intrigued. Maybe next time, the menu board will be working. I saw a photo of a chicken club sandwich that looked good... and supposedly, Boar Head products are used here.
