This little gem is in the heart of Waikiki. Honestly I just randomly stumbled upon it, and thought to myself why not? I love trying new things so let's go ahead and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there ! read more

Looking for a late-night bite or something a little different in the heart of Waikiki? Look no further than Aloha Melt! This locally owned gem serves up the ultimate comfort food with outstanding service, friendly staff, and plenty of aloha. Everything is made fresh to order, so be prepared to wait about 15-20 minutes, but trust me--it's absolutely worth it. The Spicy Aloha Melt is incredible, and if spice isn't your thing, the Patty Melt is equally delicious. Pair either one with their hot, flavorful tomato soup for the perfect meal. The prices are reasonable, the portions are satisfying, and the quality is top-notch. If you're tired of the big, heavy meals that Waikiki is known for and want something comforting, fresh, and packed with flavor, Aloha Melt is a must-visit. Highly recommended! read more

We had a big day of walking, exploring Waikiki beach and Honolulu, and so we were quite famished when late lunchtime rolled around. Fortunately we caught Aloha Melt shortly before they closed at 2 p.m. for the comfort food we craved. I saw on the menu that they did offer a tomato soup option, which is one of my favorite pairings in the whole wide world... but this was my birthday vacation so we stepped it up a notch! We got the signature Aloha Melt which sounded like it had all the extras anyone would ever want on a dressed-up grilled cheese: carmelized onion, bacon, jalapeñoes! My mouth was watering just thinking about it. But the mission was clear... Get the awesome loaded grilled cheese and commence the day drinking. We ordered our food at what is pretty much a tiny to-go counter and then hustled with our precious cargo to the nearest bar within walking distance. We settled on Rivals, a little sports bar around the bend who accommodated us so sweetly, although we were bringing in outside food. We completed our visionary mission by ordering two fantastic Bloody Marys and had ourselves a very adult grilled cheese experience. A great dining and drinking experience that I will cherish forever... If you could only taste the Aloha! read more

This may be a small store, but it serves mighty flavors! We enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich paired with their delicious tomato soup. The soup was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. We took our food to go, and even after a 40-minute drive home, the melt was still delicious. That's always a good sign when food holds up that well after the trip! Simple, satisfying comfort food done right. We will be back! read more

My mom and I decided to do by here after searching yelp and seeing it was close to the hotel we were staying at. It was on a little busy street with various food options. The store was small with only a few tables instead but nicely decorated and smelled great. Food was made to order so there was a wait but I didn't mind. I got the patty melt and tomato soup. It was a bit greasy but it was delicious. So good that I went back the next day to get it again. The woman who took my order remembered me and my order the next night when I returned. It surprised me! Definitely recommend this delicious place. read more

If you like one grilled cheese + you like burgers... this is da spot for you Stopped by after a show one night for some dirty grindz and decided to try their aloha patty melt, which includes a patty, 4 cheese blend, jalapeños, bacon, and some sauce. This option is for those of y'all who like some kick and spice in yo life (not spicy at all tho fam). Anyways, this place is super hyped and highly rated anddd I get it. They make some mean grilled cheese! Personally, I can't justify spending $20 for a grilled cheese (after tip) but.,, I'm glad I tried it out! And you should, too. read more

If you love cheese, you HAVE to try this place! I ordered the Aloha Melt, which came with cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, bacon, onion, and pickled jalapeño. It was made super chsseesy, with a crispy, well-grilled exterior (even the crust!). The best part was the sauce on the side. The sriracha aioli was the perfect pairing and really brought everything together. Service could be improved, as the staff didn't say much when taking our order. The ambiance is just okay. There are a few tables inside, but it's pretty minimal. The items on the menu could be heavy but they're delicious. read more

This place isn't bad for a late night bite. If you're drunk or having those munchies, this is the spot. I tried the highly popular Aloha Patty Melt ($15) which was sort of all over the place. I thought the cheese was extra heave while the meat was falling apart. I think it was sort of an overkill in my opinion, but that's just me; I'm sure most people love this. The sandwich started to tear apart and get too greasy. I tried pairing the melt with their tomato bisque but they didn't really compliment each other like I thought they would. The soup was also a hit too salty and a bit sour tasting. It was heavy in the stomach. Not sure I'd come back again but it's definitely worth trying! read more

Aloha Melt is a hidden gem for anyone craving comfort food with a local twist. Their menu is refreshingly simple and it absolutely delivers. The star of the show is their signature Aloha Patty Melt, a perfect balance of cheesy goodness and a savory beefy layer. Each bite melts together and progressively gets better. They take a while to put it all together but it's worth it. The team is friendly, and the portions are outstanding. I had my Aloha Patty Melt with a creamy tomato soup. It was amazing! The ingredients are simple to be honest, but they all come together nicely. Aloha Melt is also open late for the night owls. I'd come back. read more

Aloha Melt was such a great find. It's a quick walk-up spot, which made it easy and convenient, but the food still felt thoughtful and really well done. The meat was packed with flavor, and the different cheeses were delicious without feeling too heavy or overwhelming. Everything came together in a way that was rich, satisfying, and really memorable. The service was also great, which made the whole experience even better. Friendly, welcoming, and efficient -- exactly what you hope for at a casual spot like this. This is the kind of place I'd happily go back to and definitely recommend if you're in Hawaii and want something flavorful, easy, and worth the stop. read more

They serve some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. They only have grilled cheese (with some protein) and they do it well. I tried their regular grilled cheese and was amazed at the amount of cheese they added. The bread was crispy too (but not greasy). Smelled like butter, which was nice. Overall a good place to get simple and proper grilled cheese. read more

Stopped by Aloha Melt Waikiki on a whim and was not disappointed. The melt I got was ridiculously cheesy (in the best way possible) and packed with flavor. It hit the spot and definitely felt like comfort food done right. Prices were pretty reasonable for Waikiki, and I felt like the portion and quality matched the value. Small shop, hole in the wall type place but it matched the beachy vibe you want for Hawaii. Full honesty, it absolutely wrecked my stomach later BUT I'm not even mad. Would go back again (maybe just not right before a hike). read more

Right off the main shopping strip, I'm so glad I got to squeeze a stop here. Aloha melt (spicy) was great! Quite heavy and very filling, I could only finish half of the sandwich and barely 1/3 of my soup. Top of the sandwich was nice and crunchy, bottom was a bit soggy, which caught me a bit off guard and was dripping in oil. The spicy sauce on the side has a kick! There was a bit of a wait even with only 5ish orders before mine, with them calling your number when ready. Very beach ambiance inside with a few seats, largest seating 4! read more

Very good grilled cheese sandwiches! They have a nice cheese pull and the tomato soup is a must!! I was mad that I didn't get it the first time! One thing for sure is that you must eat the sandwiches right away while they're still hot and fresh- they aren't so tasty once the cheese gets cold! Also they're quite heavy so unless you're starving; they're good to split with someone. Extra Plus is Aloha Melt is open late which is great when your plane lands later than expected. read more

I am typically not a fan of tomato soup but the shredded cheese on top of theirs along with the croutons inside of it just made it so much better. The service was super quick and the help was extremely friendly.

We got to Waikiki late at night and needed a quick meal after landing. Aloha Melt was close to our hotel, so we placed an online order for pickup. The food was ready when we got there, which was great. It's a cute little shop on one of the busy streets on the Waikiki Strip, and the staff is welcoming and quick. We ordered the AP Aloha patty melt and the classic grilled cheese, with a side of soup. Everything was fresh, hot, and really satisfying. The grilled cheese sandwiches were perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The cheese was melted just right and packed with flavor. For the price, the food is very filling and the portion sizes are solid. A great spot for a no-fuss meal, especially if you're getting in late and need something good and easy. read more

This place was a hot commodity at 10pm on a Tuesday. We were looking for somewhere to go at this time of night and he chose this... so we took a little walk. I can't ever deny the chance for a good grilled cheese! There were a few people ahead of us... it took us about 15-20mins to get our order after we placed it. Worked out though... because by then, some seats opened up (very limited). Something like grilled cheese has to be eaten fresh for a fair rating so I'm glad we didn't have to take it to go. We both ordered the Aloha Melt (we should've gotten different items to try/share). It was an easy pick, because it's "spicy". But it wasn't... lol pickled jalapeños never really are that spicy to me. I'll always choose fresh over pickled. To be honest, it kind of killed the taste for me but I was hoping for the best when I read the details. Should've stuck to plain old grilled cheese... can't go wrong with that!! We probably should've just ordered one and split it because it was a little too heavy for us to eat/finish. We both ate as much as we could before tossing it. It also came with a creamy, spicy? sauce. I say spicy cause it was reddish-orange so I assume it's supposed to be? Good flavor though, the sauce was a nice touch to dip. I wish I could give a raving review but it was just so-so for us. It was good but it didn't wow us... again, (for me) this might have a lot to do with the pickled jalapeños (he didn't care for them either and he usually likes them). There were also grilled onions in the sandwich as well, which I love, but it probably added to the heaviness, too. We both thought this would be a great meal if you were drunk looking for late-night food though. If you're looking for a filling snack, this is it. read more

Stuffed sandwiches, one of the best value meals we've found on the island during our stay and it was surprisingly in Waikiki. We got the turkey + avocado sandwich and a build your own salad, total was ~$27, but the portions are large. They don't skimp on the avocado, that's for sure. And on vacation, it can be hard to get in your veggies, but this is the spot to do so! I love that sprouts are a part of their veggie mix. Nowhere to eat really, but they package it up nicely and in a bag for you to take to-go. Great if you're headed to the beach on literally the other side of the building.

Chicken sandwich!!! SO GOOD! And packed with veggies! Yum!

Sorry, but gotta keep it real-- this place was a foul ball. Mrs. Picante and I wanted our cake and…read moreeat it too: we wanted pho, but didn't want to walk too far from the hotel. This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great. I've eaten at some very modest places in my native San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, so it's not a snobbery thing. It's a "someone get a Swiffer wet jet and some paper towels and give this whole place a once-over. Speaking of once, that's the sum total of times we'll ever eat here. Too bad... because it was really close to our hotel :)

I had visited their sister location the night before in Waikīkī and had such a great experience that I told my wife, "If this place is anything like last night, we're in for something good." She agreed--and we decided to give it a shot. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by Colby, a tall, friendly guy with a great attitude. I mentioned my experience from the night before, and he immediately said he wanted to live up to that standard. That kind of response set a really positive tone. We ordered two Aroma Specials: Dolce & Banana (me) Nutella Latte (my wife) For food, we went with: P.B. Delight açaí bowl Turkey pesto panini Bacon & egg bagel Total came out to about $62, which we expected given the location near the beach. We grabbed a seat inside by the window (outside seating was full--no surprise on such a beautiful morning). Our drinks came out quickly--but unfortunately, this is where things started a little rough. We both noticed right away that something was off. My wife's Nutella latte didn't have that rich hazelnut flavor you'd expect, and my Dolce & Banana was missing the banana entirely. Honestly, they tasted almost identical. When I politely mentioned it to a staff member who brought out our food, the response felt dismissive and didn't really address the concern--which was disappointing and definitely not the experience we were hoping for. At that point, we decided to just enjoy the food and move forward--and I'm glad we did, because the food was fantastic. The turkey pesto panini was loaded with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with melty cheese. The bacon & egg bagel was hearty, well-balanced, and super satisfying. The P.B. Delight açaí bowl was the surprise standout--perfectly blended, fresh, and the peanut butter added an awesome richness that made it feel like a treat. Everything on the food side absolutely delivered. A few minutes later, Colby came by to check on us--and this is where the entire experience turned around. I let him know honestly: "The food is amazing, but the coffee missed the mark." Without hesitation, without attitude, and without making excuses, he said, "Hang on, let me fix that." I even told him not to worry about it--we were enjoying ourselves regardless--but he insisted. "Rick, I got you," he said. Within minutes, he came back with two freshly made drinks and a sincere apology. We took a sip and immediately--night and day difference. The Nutella latte had that rich, distinct hazelnut flavor. The Dolce & Banana finally had that smooth, balanced banana note Exactly what we were hoping for the first time. Colby is the MVP Colby completely turned this experience around. His attitude never changed--he was smiling, positive, kind, and genuinely cared about making things right. No defensiveness, no excuses--just great customer service and follow-through. That kind of service is rare, and it matters. It's evident that not all the workers have that same dedication to customer service but Colby does! What could have been a disappointing visit ended up being a great one because of him. Hawaiian Aroma Caffè--take care of this young man! He represents your business incredibly well. He needs to be leading your team on what customer service looks like and they need to follow his lead. From naming customers by their first name, to holding that perfect smile the entire time, to checking in with guests after receiving their meals and really caring about their experience. Colby naturally has it and should be showing every one how to do it as well! The Future Looks Bright for Colby and if you don't take of him, someone smart will! Final Thoughts Great food, great location, and a really cool atmosphere--but what stood out most was the service recovery. Mistakes happen anywhere. What matters is how they're handled--and Colby handled it perfectly. Because of him, we'll absolutely be back. Thank you again, Colby--keep doing your thing. You made our day. - Dr. Rick

ALOHA MELT in Waikiki is a hidden gem that knows how to deliver comfort food with style. Located in a compact, no-frills setting, this place is perfect for anyone craving a satisfying, hearty meal without the need for fancy surroundings. The restaurant might be small, but it more than makes up for it with the quality of the food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels authentically Hawaiian. I ordered the Classic Melt, which was an absolute flavor explosion. The blend of Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, and American cheeses melted perfectly together, creating a rich, creamy layer that was gooey yet satisfying with each bite. The texture was just right, with a beautiful contrast between the crispy, golden bread and the soft, melting cheeses. The caramelized onions brought a delicate sweetness that paired wonderfully with the smoky, savory bacon, adding layers of flavor that kept every bite interesting. The aioli sauce was the perfect finishing touch, adding a creamy, tangy note that tied everything together and kept the flavors balanced. This melt was the ultimate comfort food, making me feel both indulged and content. I would definitely come back to ALOHA MELT - it's the kind of spot that makes you crave more the moment you leave. read more

Imagine strolling through Waikiki, hunger pangs hitting, but you're not in the mood for a sugar rush or a feast fit for a king. Enter Aloha Melt Waikiki - the hidden gem of sandwich nirvana. This place is the very definition of a 'hole in the wall,' where the cheese melts are so good, they should probably come with a warning label for addiction. These aren't just any melts; they're the Rolls Royce of cheese sandwiches, priced like a Honda - affordable luxury on bread. Each bite is a perfect blend of gooey, cheesy goodness that hits the spot without tipping the guilt scales the next day. Now, let's talk logistics. Parking? Non-existent. You'll need to either glide in on foot like a ninja or perform some impressive parking acrobatics with your car. But trust me, the effort is worth it. Aloha Melt Waikiki is the go-to spot for a bite-sized escape from the usual. It's a must-visit for anyone craving a cheesy delight without the post-meal remorse. read more

I had a pretty disappointing experience at this sandwich shop. I was excited to try it, but that changed the moment I opened my sandwich and immediately saw a long hair sitting right on top of the food--before I even took a bite. It was honestly off-putting and made me lose my appetite completely. Situations like this really make you question the cleanliness and attention to hygiene in the kitchen. I understand mistakes can happen, but something like this feels like it should be easily avoidable. Overall, I won't be coming back. Cleanliness and customer service are important, and this experience just didn't meet those expectations. read more
