My friend also recommended the Fancy B. I only ate half and that was enough for a meal. I ended up eating the order half the next day and it was still just as good. They were really nice and very patient. They were quick to get us our order too. Definitely coming back to try their smears and more of their bagels.

Food: We ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese. I don't have much to compare it with since I…read morehardly order bagels but I thought it was pretty good. Nice crunch with a soft chewy inside. There was a generous amount of cream cheese so much that it would ooze out with every bite. Service: its just a counter, but the order came out pretty quick and the workers seemed nice. Price: Again, I dont know a lot about bagels but $7 does seem a little high for a plain bagel. Maybe next time I would try one of their bagel sandwiches.

I tried the salmon with garlic cream cheese! It had capers onions tomatoes and sprouts and it was delicious!! My bagel choice was the onion but I was between that and the everything bagel as it seemed those were the most popular. My coworker got the same thing but you're able to choose salmon ahi or ono and he went with the ono. He said the ono was super good too. Definitely will be back to try that brisket bagel sandwich!

Good spot for when you're craving bagels. I've been to both Fin's locations in downtown and…read moreKapahulu. Both locations have pretty bad parking unfortunately. I would highly recommend ordering online to avoid waiting as well. On a Saturday, we were quoted around 20 minutes for a walk in order of two bagels. So far I've tried the "Rise N' Shine," Kiawe smoked brisket, and the asiago bagel with lox cream cheese. Of the three, my favorite is the breakfast bagel. You can choose what flavor bagel (I got sesame), meat (I got bacon), and if you want an over medium or scrambled eggs (I got scrambled). It was pretty filling! They have a ton of yummy cream cheese bagels! If you want one, I would recommend ordering the cream cheese on the side, because the ratio is off if you order it on top. I felt bad wasting, but I had to scrape off a bunch of the cream cheese because it was a little too much for one bagel. With the limited bagels out there, Fin's is solid.

Food Quality is spot on! Definitely gives, I care about the food that I'm preparing. That was my…read morefavorite thing about the place. Plus, my keiki were so eager to try everything (even things they don't usually like) because of they liked what they saw. Service is great! Shout out to the staff member who was so kind and patient on the phone. First time customer, called while on the way to school drop off, no knowledge of the menu and she walked me through all the alls and gave BOMB recommendations based off of my likes. Ambience is roomy, clean, and welcoming. Whether you're on the go or want to eat nice and slow -- this is a great spot. The keiki have been asking to return. RECOMMEND: * sirloin steak bagel sandwich * fruit bagel

Kyoto Style Cold Brew. That's all needs to be said…read more My first introduction to Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe was at the Made in Hawaii Festival where I sampled its amazing tasting coffee. Found out that there are three locations in Kaka'ako, Downtown, and this one in Kaimuki. It's located at the corner of Waialae and 8th Avenue, across from The Curb and Kaimuki Auto Repair. Only metered parking along Waialae or street parking on the perpendicular streets. Inside was spacious and had an industrial feel with its concrete floor, metal chairs, metal racks, and with actual renovations in process in the rear of the space. Menu is floor level (sorry tall people!). There's a variety of coffee, tea, lemonade, blended drinks, smoothies, sandwiches, salads, its special Aloha Bread, and etc. There's a lot to read! There are multiple choices of bread for sandwiches (special bread shown next to the register. Be sure to check!). Needless to say, I took a long time to decide! The Breakfast Sandwich came with egg, bacon, ham, and American cheese. Chose the croissant, which was the smaller size variety. This was good with a generous amount of egg and bacon. It was a hearty sandwich. The Tuna Sandwich on Everything Bagel was good. Nice crisp on the bagel. A decent simple sandwich with fresh ingredients. I would have preferred more mayo and the canned tuna to have flavor. Regular brewed coffee was very good. Brewed very well with solid coffee flavor. Exactly the flavor I remembered when I first tried it. The star was the Kyoto Style Cold Brew. It was smooth, clean, bright, and strong. The flavor maintained throughout--even with the ice cubes melted in. Overall, a decent experience. The sandwiches were good. Coffee was excellent. Friendly service. Can't wait to come back to try more things and get more Kyoto style cold brew!

Liv was so delightful and clearly the right person for the job so I knew I was in the right place. In the meantime I ordered an iced coffee (which was delicious!!!!) and sat down and watched folks come and go. This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.

I ordered the Royal Hawaiian. This was delicious! I also had a slice of banana bread. It was heated in the oven with a pat of butter on it. Sooooooo good! Said I'd come back for the pumpkin bread, and I did a few days later. Ordered the Royal Hawaiian again. Can't get enough of it and the pumpkin bread heated the same way. Lots of people getting coffee to go and food. It's in a great location! I was also looking for a new coffee supplier. I used to go to Downtown Coffee but the last batch I bought was not very good. I bought Guatemala, Columbia, and Hawaiian. Had them all ground fine. Each one proved to be a winner with the family! So happy to have found this not so hidden gem! It is now my go to for beans!

This time, I tried their food for the first time and ordered the Turkey Melt sandwich. Oh my gosh, it was so good! It had this sweet sauce paired with crispy apples inside the sandwich, and all the flavors came together perfectly. The salad on the side also had a delicious dressing that tasted almost like a smoky meat sauce, but with a slight tanginess to it. Yum!!! We also ordered a burrito, and wow...their burritos are HUGE! They're packed and loaded with everything you could want inside. We got steak with roasted potatoes and some other veggies. The café itself has such a relaxing atmosphere. The high ceilings make the space feel open and inviting, and they even have a second floor seating area. There are beautiful plant decorations, nice artwork, and an overall cozy vibe that makes it a great place to hang out. The staff here are always so, so, so kind and helpful. A special shoutout to Tommy, who was very friendly and took the time to explain the menu items to us. If you're dining in, they give you a table number and bring the food right to your table. How awesome is that?! Hardly any cafés do that these days! Our experiences here have always been great, but this was the first time we tried the food, and it definitely did not disappoint. Everything tasted amazing! Good coffee AND good food? Perfect morning and brunch place!
