    acai bowl
    Keilab A.

    Such a lovely cafe in Waikiki! You order at the counter and find seating inside or out, then pick up your food at the counter when it's ready. The service is excellent and the staff are all so friendly. I shared the açaí bowl and wagyu loco moco. I enjoyed their açaí bowl and thought their loco moco was good but not great. They also have a plethora of other breakfast items that sounded delish, and it was getting pretty busy right around 8:30/9am.

    "Here's Looking at you kid". Our son is a Junior at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and a regular at this neighborhood gem. He just had to bring us here during our visit to Honolulu, Hawai'i as his favorite breakfast place. This strip mall corner shop has easy parking next to Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, easy walking distance from the hotels and beach---well worth the short walk. The coffee and cappuccino is excellent! You counter order as you get to Bogart's which has a pretty extensive menu offerings from Hawai'ian Waffle with coconut cream and bananas, scrambles, Acacia bowls and bagels. I ordered the Michael's Veggie Omelet with grilled mushrooms, asparagus, and onions with a side of chicken apple sausage; my son got this favorite Acacia bowl with bananas, strawberries, peanut butter and sprinkle of chocolate (I enjoyed a spoonful!---really great!"; his girlfriend ordered the Hawaiian Waffle and my wife ordered the everything bagel, eggs, avocado and what she couldn't finished our college age son wolfed it down! This is a bright, friendly, amble seating for us and several families with babies when we visited (at least 4). Short line to place our order and our offerings were ready in a few minutes, hot/cold, satisfying & Delicious! Great place for locals and visitors alike. Mahalo!

    Bogart's has been around foreverrrrrr and they're still just as yummy. Located in a small shopping plaza off Monsterat, you'll have to be patient for a parking spot to open up, but people are constantly leaving and coming. The cafe itself is at the far right end with inside dining and an outside patio area with some seating. Order at the counter and they will give you a buzzer when your food is ready. Service is fast and food is so yummy! The perfect stop for breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

    Pork adobo fried rice

    Absolutely amazing place! Busy, but got a table quick! Pork adobo fried rice was killa' and the benedicts were a huge hit!! Staff is super friendly and no doubt we will come back!

    Amazing food and very reasonable prices! Best quick meal on the island. 5 stars all the way!

    We got a lift to take us here from our hotel. For breakfast, there was very limited seating so you just have to watch for an empty table to become available. Keep in mind, they don't clean up the tables so you kinda have to do it yourself. You order in the front first, then get your food at your table. I ordered the Kahlúa pork and onion omelette with rice. You can choose seasoned potatoes, but I love Hawaiian white rice. The presentation of my plate was nice and clean. I really enjoyed each bite of my omelette and the rice. Great flavor. They have a condiment station with soy sauce and Sriracha, which is exactly what I needed for my plate. I also ordered a latte which was very good and even had a heart on top. My husband ordered the açai bowl and it was very fresh and was a very nice presentation. It was a perfect meal before we walked to diamond head. So if you're thinking about doing the hike you should definitely stop here. The Employee was very welcoming and personable too. At the end, I asked for it to go cover a copy and he was on it right away.

    Waffle with Nutella and strawberries

    Definitely a must try! Lots of tourists. You have to order your food/drinks at the counter. Self seating. You'll get a buzzer to let you know that your food is ready. You'll pick up your food near the register. There's a condiment station. When you're finished eating, there's a station near the front door to place your dishes. The food is shareable. Big portions. Very good, tasty. I liked what I ordered. The coffee cups are big, that's a plus. Water is self serve. Parking is limited. There's a small parking lot or street parking.

    Came here for a mandatory post-hike acai bowl! Such a refreshing reward! * Parking: Storefront lot available, but stalls are limited and the spaces fill up quickly at peak hours! * Ambiance: The inside was small, but there's also outdoor seating available (some seats are directly under a tree so be careful of bird droppings!). Inside there's self-serve water and also a coffee station to customize your drink! * Service: Visited during breakfast and it was very busy, but we got our order in a reasonable time! No complaints here. * Food/Drink: I got the island acai bowl. For the most part, it was a pretty standard, but the one thing that stood out to me was the massive pile of coconut flakes which i LOVED. My husband got the bogart's loco moco. The meat patty was juicy and flavorful, but the gravy with mushrooms and onions had to be the best part! Would come here again if I'm in the area!

    Loco moco
    Nick W.

    I've been coming here for many years. It's has a great menu with tons of options. I almost always get a breakfast bagel Sandwhich, because it's affordable and delicious. The service is always top notch, very friendly and accommodating as well. It has enough seating inside and outside. Be careful outside under the tree, you may get extra cream in your coffee from perched birds. It adds to the fun. The açaí bowl is also worth getting, very fresh and enjoyable. This is a place my family and I keep coming back too.

    taro banana pancake   strawberry guava bagel with macadamia nut pesto cream cheese
    Bellody C.

    Unique offerings with self service seating! You can expect a line on the weekend. The taro banana pancake was yummy with actual chunks of taro on top. I can only imagine how good the ube pancakes are - they were sold out by the time we got there. I also got the strawberry guava bagel with macadamia nut pesto cream cheese. This combo was super unique. I do wish the bagel was bigger because i got hungry within the next hour or two. The macadamia nut is subtle but pairs perfectly with the pesto cream cheese.

    Avocado toast with eggs and açaí bowl
    Kajal M.

    I absolutely loved this cafe. After walking back into the city from Diamond head trail, it was nice to find a cafe on our way. We were extremely hungry and it quenched our appetite! We ordered the açaí bowl and avocado toast which is a pretty standard order for breakfast for us. It was extremely well made and scrumptious. We also got a coffee and smoothie both of which were good

    Breakfast bagel (taro bagel)
    Cecilia R.

    Another local favorite - definitely recommend the taro vans pancakes and any of their açaí bowls. Parking is rough and they can get crowded during peak meal time (especially on the weekend), but makes a great stop before or after hiking Diamond Head. Would definitely come back!

    Looks edible but the rice was severely undercooked

    Is parking available? Good for takeout?

    There is a small lot and street parking. Yes, takeout is as yummy as dine in!

    Can we make reservations?

    It's a small and very busy restaurant. I would assume that the setup would not be in the best interest of the restaurant to take reservations. You could order ahead and pickup your food when you get there.

    Why not opening for dinner?

    Is this under new ownership?

    Why are there no prices on your menu? Why so secretive?

    go to the website, then click on the menu...the prices are there. One price for cash and another for card payments.

    Is there a bathroom?

    Aloha Gigi, We have separate men’s and women’s bathrooms for our customers. We look forward to… 

    I usually get my usual, eggs Benedict, pancakes or adobo fried rice. What else is something that I MUST try?

    Switch it up and get Mama's fried rice! It's amazing. I also recommend trying their Nutella waffles!

    How's the belgian waffles here? Nice and cripsy outside, soft inside?

    Yes it is, exactly like that, you can ask for more whipped cream too. They give enough Nutella so it's perfect.

He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

France meets Italy - meets Hawaii. I'm still dreaming of this. The burger features a thick, juicy, 8-ounce grass-fed patty made from a custom house-selected blend of short rib, chuck roast, and brisket. Get it with the crispy potatoes. You will thank me. Risotto on point. Luxuriously rich, creamy texture. The rice retains a slight al dente bite in the center, giving it structure rather than letting it become mushy. Prosciutto adds a perfect salty, savory crunch to break up the rich risotto. The only misstep was the fries served with the quinoa burger. They were chalky, served at room temperature, limp, and underseasoned. Excellent friendly informal service. Park at the municipal parking on Bethel St just 1/2 block away. Happy Eating!!

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws.

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years.

Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    I know this is a revered institution, but our visit just wasn't very good. We went for breakfast:…read morethe pancakes were good, but the American Breakfast wasn't, and the potatoes were undercooked with a flavor that was almost too earthy. The pastries were just okay; we tried a few cake slices that were fine but unremarkable. The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
