Beautiful representation of what eating breakfast in Hawaii should be! From the beautiful driveway up to the restaurant filled with fragrant flowers and birds chirping to the unique and delicious offerings It was so hard to choose what to get! I had a most memorable breakfast here with my friend Lisa she's always so good and introducing me to unique restaurants on Oahu read more

It was our first visit and won't be our last! The menu is understandably limited but supports their mission. We ordered, 1) scrambled eggs, crispy bacon w/ multigrain toast, 2) croissant sandwich with eggs, cheese and side ham added were good! Croissant fresh! Will return to try other menu items. The staff person who took our order was very welcoming, friendly, pleasant and accurate. Our order was brought to our table timely. We also bought some blueberry scones to go ... They were generous in size and very tasty. However, they were a @little heavy," a little dry but great with coffee! The chocolate banana bread slices were generous pieces as well, moist, tasty but a little "little heavy." Will return to buy these again to support their mission! read more

4.5 stars rounds up to 5. The only thing this place is missing is an espresso machine, but everything else makes up for it. Above all, its mission of supporting folks who need it makes this an easy place to support, but the food and service stand on their own. Waioli has been in Manoa for a while. It's a charming space with indoor/outdoor seating and solid brunch food. The scones are amazing - always a few available and interesting flavors. My new favorite is the breakfast fried rice, made with bacon, served with an extra slice of bacon, and incredibly flavorful. Super ono. They have brewed coffee (sometimes French presses are available) and teas. I ordered an iced chai on my last visit and it was delicious. Plenty of space to sit once you order - from sofas to sprawling tables to patio seating. read more

Peaceful Vibes and a Tasty BLTA in Manoa If you want ambiance, you need to go to Waioli Kitchen and Bake Shop. Surrounded by the beautiful Manoa Valley, it is lush and peaceful. I just love the energy when I am dining here. You order at the counter, then find your table. With lots of indoor and outdoor seating, there is usually a table open or just a short wait. Parking is easy, with a large lot available. They offer plenty of pastry delights and a solid coffee and tea selection. I got the BLTA (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado), and I was so impressed. Even with a long line ahead of me, our food came out in under ten minutes. They give you a number to take to your table, and the food runner brings it out fresh and ready. Great food, smooth service, and unbeatable surroundings make Waioli one of those places you keep coming back to for the vibe alone. read more

I love Waioli Kitchen and Bake Shop! I've been here a couple of times and need to leave my review so I'll remember what I ate (so I can try new things next visit!) This time I had the breakfast bowl with fried rice and scrambled eggs. The bacon was nice and crispy and it was served with toast made of a swirl bread along with a small dish with jelly and butter. My friend had the avocado toast which was a huge serving. Last time I was here I had toast and bacon and eggs and my friend had a salad. This time I also bought a box of pastries to take home to share. The pastries sell out quickly but this trip, there was lots to choose from. I bought chocolate pumpkin bread, a savory scone, coconut bread pudding, a pumpkin muffin with cream cheese in the center, and molasses cookies. All were delicious! It's always crowded so be prepared to wait in line. Also, parking is tight and sometimes you have to wait for someone to leave before you can park. I love the old plantation style building with the airy rooms and surrounding gardens. I always feel like I'm on the outer islands when I eat here or transported back in time. read more

They open @ 8am and when I arrived @ 9am, there was already a long line for ordering. I was glad that they still had breakfast bowl available when it came to my turn. ;) While all the tables might be taken, you should be able to find if you wait for a few minutes. I love their ambiance - being surrounded by trees and very peaceful. All the staff are very friendly and polite. read more

I have been on an açaí bowl kick lately and I think Waioli kitchen has one of the best. You have to go check them out! They serve breakfast and lunch here. My other fav menu item is the pancakes topped with banana and served with a coconut syrup. I also love the Mediterranean salad with chicken, simple but delicious! I love coming here, not only for the food, but also the vibe. It is surrounded by so much greenery. It is in the center of Mānoa. It's very majestic and calming. I love coming here! read more

Friendly Service We tried the Mango & Sunset Lemonade. The Sunset was my favorite drink. The jelly already with the butter was amazing spread over the Sourdough bread. I also had Avocado on toast that was brought as side options and I put them together and pours the jelly on top. The combination together is a must tried and is very tasty. Breakfast bowl gave a good amount of fried rice and plenty egg I noticed but only thing I could say is they could give at least 2 bacons because only one is given. Curry Chicken Salad in a Papaya with a side of toast and jelly was definitely a fave. I recommend to others to try it definitely brings a great savory, not sweet flavor combing together when eaten with the papaya. The Blueberry Scone was delicious next time I will pair with a coffee. read more

Waioli Tea Room probably has one the most beautiful settings on the island. Tucked away in the back of Manoa the vibe here is so peaceful. Lots of trees, flowers, and birds. It also rains a lot back here and makes it even more peaceful. I always leave here feeling relaxed and choose it as a meeting spot for friends and visitors. The food menu is limited and that's ok, they focus on simplicity and making the food fresh and good. Their bakery items are so fresh and delicious. It's my favorite place for scones on the island. The ube scone is 10/10 and is the shining bakery item in my opinion. I've tried most menu items here over the years and brought many guests here and everyone is always happy with their food. I usually just get the simple breakfast sandwich croissant and it's consistently good. The workers are always so sweet and if you learn about the history and mission of this place you'll appreciate it even more. It focuses on community empowerment and giving second chances to people by providing them with employment and a place to stay (at least historically I can't confirm if this is still ongoing). Parking can be challenging on busy days but I've always found something if I circle and wait for someone to leave. Be prepared for rain but it makes the ambiance that more peaceful. read more

Beautiful, charming, arbored setting, this historical tea room serves great breakfast, lunch and pastries with friendly, knowledgeable service. Tables were full on a Friday morning but you still get a relaxed feeling being out in nature. The avocado toast was a nicely balanced combination of two sunny side eggs atop avo and arugula on a thin slice of sourdough. It was perfect for my friend and me to share.'The açaí bowl, served in a cute little coconut bowl, was served with strawberries, blueberries , coconut, and granola which made for good crunch. My friend raved about the pastries and she was not wrong! I agreed the scones are amazing with a nice (not dry) consistency inside and a perfectly slightly browned and crisped top! Her fave is the candied ginger and lemon which was indeed delish! Ube white chocolate was also good. The server recommended the Haupia bread which stood out as a rich scrumptious mixture of coconut goodness like a bread pudding. Muah! read more

Would come back only for the scones! Blueberry scone was delicious, soft and light on the inside. The food menu items were underwhelming. Tried the breakfast bowl; fried rice, scrambled egg, bacon, toast with jam. It was a thin bed of fried rice with bacon bits, a big clump of scrambled eggs, one piece of bacon, toast of the day was good. The short rib loco moco was plain. It was really busy on a Saturday for breakfast, a line to order, a wait for a table, a wait to get the table cleared. Upsides were bakery items, free parking, and being in a historic tea room in Manoa. read more

Wholesome and genuine experience overall. I would highly recommend. Came here for a Saturday breakfast and it did not disappoint. I got the Ube Lemonade, Mango Lilikoi Scone, and the Short Rib Loco Moco. The Ube Lemonade was very good, it had a strong flavor at first but grew on me as I finished the drink. The Mango Lilikoi Scone was good, but I expected more of a sweet fruity flavor to it. The Short Rib Loco Moco was the highlight by far. The short rib meat was so tender and perfect with the gravy. I appreciated the side of pickled veggies, it added a great complimentary texture to that of the loco moco. The service was excellent as well. The staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient. We got a table in the main entry area and had a lovely view of their front yard/garden area. read more

Great brunch location. I think they are open until 1. I hear as long as you get there before they close, you can sit for awhile and walk around. The food is really yummy and they make bread and scones that are super good. The location is in Manoa owns the setting is beautiful. First you find parking, which can be hard, since it's so popular but once you find parking enjoy!! Then walk in, order your food && they bring it out to you. There's brunch choices that are so tasty! Choosing a place to sit can be tough too since there are so many different places to sit - inside, outside, on tables, etc. Every single part is amazing so far ... riiiiight??! But the BEST part is their mission! (Since I'm a social worker I absolutely love their mission) Their workers are coming out of programs. I love their history, their mission, and by eating great food && sitting in a totally peaceful place we support people and a great mission!!! The workers are attentive and friendly and the manager walks around. read more

This place is popular and yummy. The line can get long but don't worry it goes by pretty fast. The bakery items are delicious and a great treat to take home. The avocado toast is good, the first time I went I think I got more goat cheese on it but both times the eggs were perfect. The sourdough bread is freshly baked. The breakfast bowl looked yummy, my husband ate every gain of rice. Love all the history in this place and what they stand for! Helping people get back on their feet after hard times! read more

Very busy on a Saturday morning at 9am, parking is still difficult to find but managed to snag a sweet spot! Line is absurdly long, takes at least a good 30 minutes whether it's for takeout or dine in (have to order in the line for your food and take a number). Ordered the Short Rib Loco Moco & special breakfast item, the Avocado Toast. Also ordered a mango peach iced lemonade for my friend. To go items were their sourdough bread (baked fresh! Impeccable timing) and 2 scones for myself - savory & blueberry. I completely forgot to sub the loco moco rice for fried rice. Please don't make that mistake. I thought it was okay, not as good as what I remembered from years past. I think they skimped on the meat a little and portion size was not as good as I had before. The avocado toast was much better. Thinly sliced but large sourdough bread smeared with avocado, a little goat cheese, generous helping of arugula, sauce (looks like thousand island dressing but could be some other fancy aioli), and 2 sunny side up eggs. Great portions and flavor. Light enough to not feel bloated or guilty afterwards. The scones were not how like I remembered. A bit too dry and bready? Crumbled way too easily. The savory one was nice. Would possibly get it again. Things to note: snag a table early if you're dining in; 3% service charge to pay for vocational training for former substance abuse individuals (liked the transparency because it's a cause I can get behind); roam the estate a little (they've blocked off alot of the pathways in the garden & adjoining rainforest which is sad. read more

Love this breakfast, lunch and bakery spot in Manoa. Whenever we are in the area for a hike it's nice retreat to talk story sitting out on the covered wrap around lanai on this historic building. Love the feeling of the place, with garden surrounding outside of building welcomes you to relax, sip coffee have a baked good or enjoy breakfast or lunch. This visit enjoyed a strong coffee and a savory scone and took home a loaf of freshly bake bread. The staff have always been nice and helpful. Their lunch hour is limited 11:00 to 1:00. read more

This is probably one of the best breakfast experiences you'll have in Hawaii. For starters, the food is excellent. They have a limited menu and selection of pastries but everything looks and smells good. I had the short rib loco moco and it was very tasty, good proportion of short ribs, two eggs, gravy and pickled daikon. I also had the haupia bread pudding and it was one of the best I've had. Not too sweet, very soft and moist and nicely toasted on top. The coffee is good and rather than wait for a server to refill your cup, you just have to go up to the counter. There's never a wait to get your refill and the servers are always so nice. The atmosphere here is great! It truly feels like you're eating in a house from old Hawaii. The fixtures and landscaping make it so relaxing and enjoyable. It's nicely tucked away in Manoa and parking is free. The vibe here is definitely different from a lot of other restaurants. You never feel rushed and there's not the hustle and bustle of most popular eating places. I highly recommend Waioli Kitchen and Bakery for breakfast or lunch! read more

It's beautiful here. The staff is extremely nice. There were several staff who came by just to chat. It made it feel like home. The mission is also something we love to support. The food is fantastic. The ube lemonade was not as great as I'd like though. Too sour and you can't really taste the ube. High praise for the avocado toast, breakfast bowl, and spinach scone. The lillikoi frosting was too sweet in my opinion. The banana pancake was a large portion. I'd pass on the coconut drizzle because that was too sweet also. This was my first time here and won't be my last. read more

Parking: ample and shaded. If you're having a slow day and enjoys brunch away from the busy city, this place is worth checking out. read more

Hidden neighborhood spot loved by locals! I lived up the street from this place for 2 months and never knew it was here but last month my friend took me here and I'm glad I finally learned about this place. We went for breakfast and easily found a table outside on their beautiful porch. We both had the avocado toast with an egg and it was delicious. The lilikoi scone was delicious but too big for one person to eat. I didn't have any of their drinks but they looked good. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and you can see wild chickens and lizards running around . Super cute place to check out next time you're in Manoa. read more

Waiʻoli Bakery in the heart of lush Mānoa Valley is straight out of a storybook -- tropical greenery, cozy plantation vibes, and pastries that will steal your heart (and possibly your diet plans ). I got there around 11:30 AM and wow -- it was packed Clearly, I'm not the only one who's discovered this local gem. Despite the crowd, the line moved quickly and the staff was super sweet and efficient. I ordered a lilikoi mango scone with a hot coffee, and let me just say... wow That scone was a whole experience -- lightly crisp on the outside, soft and rich inside, with just the right pop of tropical flavor. It was filling, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot with my coffee. Not too sweet, not too dense -- just right. The outdoor seating area is a dream, shaded by trees with views of the surrounding valley. It's the kind of place where you want to linger, sip slow, and maybe pretend you're writing a novel or planning your next island adventure.

This past week was not my first time to the Waioli Kitchen however, it has probably been a couple years since I have last visited! I love the location, atmosphere and food here. I always feel so relaxed and at peace and I love that the historic charm has been maintained. There are even some small authentic grass homes in the back that you can tour! Their souvenirs are awesome-especially the mugs and the flour sack towels. FOOD: their menu is modest in size but not in flavor/quality! Everything looked delicious and it made my decision hard even though the menu is short-the sign of a great menu. We started with a delicious blueberry scone and the French press coffee, and I ordered the Mediterranean salad for lunch. The scone was awesome, a little sweeter than I prefer but the texture was moist and dense and the cream cheese add inside was perfect. The coffee...oh my gosh it was fantastic. So flavorful and they bring half and half out with the French press which hit the spot. My salad was fantastic, the chicken was so juicy and the avocado was generous and perfectly ripe. I will definitely order this salad again. I was surprised at how much more crowded the restaurant was from the last time I visited but it did not feel uncomfortable. The service was polite and very quick and we didn't have trouble finding seats. The parking was a bit tight but I could have just been the time at which I arrived. I vow to be back again sooner than the amount of time that has passed since I last visited! read more

My friends and I just finished hiking Manoa falls and I heard a lot about Waioli Kitchen and Bakeshop so we decided to check it out for brunch! The place is big with both indoor and mostly outdoor seating. You stand in line and order and then they'll bring your food to you. It can be hard to find a table if it's busy but a few tables opened up for us, we just had to wait a bit for someone to clean it up. I ordered the breakfast bowl and a chocolate banana bread. The breakfast bowl was good but nothing special. I liked how it also came with some toast to make the meal more filling. The banana bread was moist and not too sweet. I also got to try the chocolate almond crossiant and the chocolate cookie and those were delicious as well! They do a great job with the pastries. Overall, this is a nice place to grab brunch especially after you hike Manoa falls since it's right there. I would come here again to try their other breakfast dishes and pastries! read more

My first memories visiting the Waioli Tea Room (former name) is when I was a child. My parents brought our family here to enjoy the beautiful lush Manoa Valley greenery, fancy tea and goods. According to it current website, the Waioli Tea Room Opened in 1922. The Waioli Tea Room was conceived as a vocational training facility for the orphans housed at the Salvation Army Girls Home that was also located on the Manoa Campus. The Waioli Tea Room served breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea and at its height and attracted hundreds of guests every day from around the world. Fast forward to September 2024 and I Yelped the old name and found Waioli Kitchen and Bake Shop ("WKBS"). I have been wanting to revisit and experience the updated WKBS. A perfect occasion arose with my Aunty (lives here) and cousin from LA visiting here. The plan was hatched and we arrived around 20 minutes before opening. A bit early but we secured a close parking space. We talked story for a bit and then made our way to the entrance. By the time we started walking towards WKBS, the free parking lot was nearly full! Come early to secure a free parking space. As you enter, you are guided to the menu boards to place your order. It's a stand in line type process. Efficient and organized unless you take a moment or two to ask questions about the menu! We placed our order and paid for it. You are given a number placard to place on your table. If you ordered coffee like we did, your hot cup of Kona coffee will be given to you immediately on the side counter. There is a table with all the condiments you may need. Coffee is refillable and for take out as well! Kona Coffee: 4/5 stars. As you place your order, look to your left and your eyes and nose will follow the gorgeous display of fresh bake goods. So many to choose from. Our breakfast order consisted of the Breakfast Bowl $13.50 (Fried rice, scrambled egg, bacon and toast), Açaí and granola fruit bowl $12.50 and Avocado Toast (Sour dough bread, avocado, arugula, two eggs, sriracha aioli, and goat cheese). Price: ? We picked up baked goods to go. I selected the Candied ginger and lemon scone, Mango Liliko'i scone, Almond chocolate croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. Disclosure: I do not like arugula. I find the bitter taste similar to endives. Not my cup of tea. Having disclosed this, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the avocado toast! The combination of items curbed the taste of the arugula! I enjoyed this avocado toast. 4/5 stars The açaí bowl was equally, if not a tad more delicious! Flavorful and full of toppings. The serving size is small and one person can easily consume it all in a sitting : ). 4/5 stars Breakfast Bowl looked delicious as well. My Aunty ordered this. I did not try it but it looked filling and savory. WKBS sells store merchandise in the restaurant. The restaurant has restrooms available indoors. Service 4/5 stars. The food came out quickly from the kitchen. Water is provided and refilled. Tables are clean and the noise level depends on the number of patrons. Ambiance is 5/5 stars. Open concept seating and beautiful views of the greenery and mountains. read more

Waioli is an old school location and site of many family parties in the past. It's been decades since I've been. First things first, it's definitely a tourist spot. Minutes before they opened at 8am the line formed. They want you to order first then grab a table. The line moves slow so patience is necessary. We were luckily 2nd in line because an assertive person who must've been in a rush cut to the front. We ordered the breakfast bowl (3/5), avocado toast (4/5) and açaí bowl (4/5). And I brought a few pastries home (apple turnover 4/5, savory scone 3/5, and ginger scone 3/5). Coffee here is good and you can get refills and a to-go cup. Service is friendly and efficient. I think they should have two registers because the lines get long and it does not move fast. You get a number, and the good is brought to your table. Easy peasy. The atmosphere is old Hawaii with a slightly modern touch. Outdoor and indoor seating is plentiful. We opted for indoor because it has ac and didn't want to get bit by the manoa mosquitoes. Parking is free but by the time we left the parking was full. All in all a lovely and peaceful place to grab a bite and casually chit chat.

A breakfast getaway... This stunning historic building is located up in Manoa and I finally made my back since way before when it used to be Waioli Tea room and on this gloomy weather morning not just anywhere would set the vibe for us as before we go and pick up my brother's urn I thought that we spend this time in the morning for some breakfast and this spot was the perfect escape with their beautiful lush greenery settings. As my brother also had special needs it was fitting to show some love at a place that does so as well with various training in the work force that already is something very special and there is a 3% training charge and am grateful knowing that it's going to a loving cause. Driving up to this bougie driveway you already have that comfy feeling and all the decor and historic vibe is shown in every part of this house. Rain or shine I'd still on the lanai 100% the calming feel as each table has it's own personal space we both had a great time removing ourselves from various adulting. Mom had the Banana Mac Nut Pancakes which was massive, they serve it with homemade Haupia sauce though she enjoyed it with my strawberry jelly that came with my Breakfast Bowl which I do recommend which is filled with fried rice topped with scrambled eggs, a crispy bacon and toast...a simple but very hearty breakfast she also couldn't resist a muffin which turned out to be a Coconut Haupia Bread Pudding along with a couple other pastries that we had to get. There were other rooms in the restaurant that you can plan a gathering is a lovely idea with the lovely coziness it gives makes it a place to relax is here. Thank you! read more
