We’re here mostly for the ube bagel, but they don’t have it…..Opted for the coconut latte – an excellent choice! The heavy coconut taste beautifully blends with the ice, eliminating any overwhelming heaviness. The loco moco is a flavor bomb, featuring fantastic braised beef and a perfectly topped egg. Although the line is a bit long and the wait feels extended, it's understandable for one of the most mentioned coffee stores. The experience is just right!
This place had a great açaí bowl! I loved it and was very surprised. Also a very solid vegan cookie. I would 100% try it again. Very busy, very popular.
We had the Braised Beef Loco Moco, Island Breakfast Plate, and Original Açaí Bowl. The place was really busy and we can see why. The food was delicious and worth the wait. I especially recommend the Açaí bowl if that is what you are looking for. The fruits were fresh and the granola was amazing.
It's a must to try their acai bowls!!! The acai base consistency is just right and their homemade honey is just so yummy 🤤 there are handfuls of tables lining the outside but beware of pigeons who are not afraid to come for your food. The Kona ice coffee ☕ is quite nice too! You need to pickup the acai bowls and drinks yourself (even though you made be given a number plate) for hot food items they will deliver to your table.
Hands down my fav Resturant ever! When I lived here I visited atleast twice a day for the açaí bowls, which are to die for. Poke yummiest ever! No place can compare. When I visit I still find myself having each meal here and when I am away from Honolulu I can’t stop craving the food. Nor can anything else compare. MUST MUST TRY!
There avacado toast is delicious for breakfast!
All the açaí bowls are good lilokoi is my fav with Passionfruit && huapia is also amazing!
Poke half ahi half salmon is my go to and octopus poke is out of this world!
Coffeeeeee being from Seattle I love coffee Hawaii latte is upto standards!
MY FAV ACAI BOWLS!! UBE CREAM CHEESE COOKIE? SAY LESS!
Come early as the lineup can pick up reallllll quick and it will take 30-40 mins wait. But if your early, it will just take 5-10 mins. We came about 9am and there was just 3 people ahead of us. Yesterday the lineup went around and were like NOPE, tomorrow it is lol
Food:
Açai bowls: Waialua Moana Bowl
MY FAVOURITE! Had to come here twice because their house made coconut peanut butter is a cherry on top of this Acai bowl. I’ve been trying different açai bowls daily (7days trip) and this one topped it!
Poke, Shoyu spicy tuna: Tuna is fresh and has flavors with a salad. This is more like a healthy poke, so the flavour was refreshing. I usually like my poke full of flavor but the concept is understandable to give it the healthy taste to it.
Eggs Benedict: the eggs were Almsot cooked to perfection, a bit overcooked but Delicious! Flavours and the bread is fresh.
Ube cream cheese cookie: SO FRESH and delicious ~ it’s sweet because of the cream cheese but that’s to be expected. So gooey and it looks beautiful. Best ube cookie I ever had!
Pricing: take my money, I’ll come here again.
Atmosphere: the views are pretty and it overlooks the fountains and garden area
Presentation: everything is presented beautifully even the açai bowl in a mug cup with a flower is just beautiful. Those little details makes me love this place even more!
Staff: sweet and kind, even with a big line. They are patient with you when ordering since it was our first time there, they told us what was their favourite when we asked, which I was not disappointed at all. Everything tasted delicious!
Overall: I already miss this place and want to come here for breakfast/lunch again!
Tip: if there’s a large lineup, go another day and earlier! I wouldn’t wait but I would definitely come here as it’s my top place to go to :)
The long was deceptively long. Only had to wait 10 mins to get to the front counter on a Saturday morning. The two drinks took about 5~ minutes to come out after it. We ordered the Mauna Kea Iced coffee (with coconut gelato) which was a nice dessert like iced coffee. The Haleiwa iced tea was also amazing and is refreshing with the pineapple taste with a hint of tea and mint.
Awesome Latte and Acai Bowls. We ordered Wagyu Beef Loco Moco, Island Style Plate, Island Latte, Honey Latte, and Lilikoi Acai Bowl. They are so good that we went back again.
Amazing experience!! One of the best breakfasts of my life. They have such vast variety of options to choose from, everything we had was delicious, the plates were big, we enjoyed it so much. Out waitress was also lovely and recommended the best options. Before we left we had already made our reservation to go back! Definitely worth it.
I know açai bowl is not known for a healthy snack but they taste so great! This is such a beautiful bowl with fresh ingredients, even flowers and topped with honey. The granola adds the crunchy layer and the papaya is such a nice add on to make the balance the sweetness.
All the food and drinks here are pretty unique and delicious. I tried the shrimp baguette with a side of ulu (breadfruit) and had a cold brew with coconut cream. The service was relatively quick (10-15 mins wait to pickup) despite a busy line of people ordering. The staff is very kind and polite.
Dine in or take out. Food is always consistent: YUMMY! Don't feel like waiting in line? Dine in via the wine bar. Food is made from the same kitchen, so there will still be some wait on your food. Highly recommend the Haupia Moana Bowl and Lox of bagel (with Taro bagel). Island latte is also very good!
It was a really famous restaurant in Hawaii. We go to the take a brunch the wait list line was really really long more than KOREA. We wait about 40 minutes, but taste was really really nice.
Hands down best breakfast/açaí bowl place in Wakiki! Long line so make sure to line up when you get there. It’s right above Cheesecake Factory. You can take the escalators up. There are seatings outside patio and bathroom is near. It’s a great place to wake up and head to since they have coffee, açaí bowl, juices and breakfast dishes. Best papaya sourced in breakfast and açaí bowl. Pro tip: I usually buy the granola and honey here, it’s the best in town and you can bring them back for gifts!
The braised beef loco moco and garlic shrimp with garlic rice is AMAZING! The drinks are average though
This place can get busy quick and seating is limited - however, it’s delicious. I used to work in Waikiki and this was my favorite coffee spot. The food is delicious but service can be slow. You’re on island time so enjoy the atmosphere!
Good place to have food. They have long operating hours.
We ordered açai ball ( original) for as ok I have had a lot better and also breakfast platter eggs under seasoned.
Ordered matchai cookies and also cream brûlée donuts which were nice.
5/5!
Definitely my go to spot for breakfast on the Island. From Breakfast foods, smoothies, acai bowls and coffee, this place executed all of them greatly.
The Food: For breakfast, I went with the Island Style Plate and a Coconut Kona Mocha Frozen Coffee. I went here a few mote times as well for their Acai Bowls for a quick breakfast as well. The bowls were incredible! The Acai smoothie mix was nice and sweet, not frozen, paired with fresh fruit. As for the Island Style plate breakfast, it was delicious and worth it too! The plate comes with sausage, eggs, avocado and fruit. A very refreshing and clean meal.
The Service: Service was great! If you are looking for something on the go, there is a separate line for that. Usually the long line you see everyone standing at. But if you wanted to sit down, there's another part upstairs where a host can seat you. Highly recommend getting their super early as it gets really packed.
The Atmosphere: With half of it being outdoors in the great Hawaiian sun, the restaurant was nicely decorated and easily accessible. The seating area has a fairly good amount of seating, but the order/pick-up area is kind of small.
Overall, a 5/5! Highly recommend trying this place out. If you're looking for a nice refresher from the heat or looking for some breakfast, this is the spot.
