Cafe Kaila is a great, cute spot for brunch. They serve classic breakfast dishes along with lunch…read moreoptions that start at 11am, and the selection is solid--especially if you have a sweet tooth. My personal favorite is the French toast, which you can top with a mix of banana, blueberries, and strawberries for an extra $3-5. They also offer special off-menu sweet treats like cornbread waffles and banana bread French toast. We haven't tried those yet but plan to next time. We've been here a handful of times and it's becoming our go-to brunch place. I usually order the frittata omelette, which comes loaded with onions, mushrooms, and your choice of meat or mixed vegetables, plus a side of really good roasted potatoes. On our most recent visit we went for a combo to balance sweet and savory: soft scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and two big slices of French toast with strawberries. It was delicious. We also ordered the pastrami eggs Benedict with sides of fried rice and roasted potatoes. We both left completely full and not at all disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly, and there's plenty of seating. It does get busy (there's usually a waitlist because it's popular), but in all our visits the wait has never been more than 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend for a solid, satisfying brunch

This cozy diner is a perfect early morning spot for a hearty local breakfast made with care!…read more The workers are all so friendly and kind. Service is fast, portions large, and prices reasonable. From 5-8am they have their breakfast special which is 2 eggs, fried rice, and your choice of meat (spam, Portuguese or vienna sausage, or links). We tried one special, the corned beef loco moco, and a pancake. Everything was delicious and huge. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the fried rice was seasoned well and had bacon in it, the spam crispy and salty. The corned beef was homemade and so savory. The pancake was big enough for 2 people and so fluffy!

I ordered the usual, corned beef hash, two eggs, rice, and a side of portuguese sausage. So good! Jane had two kinds of pancakes, blueberry and banana, and eggs and bacon. Everything is old school so don't expect some shi shi dining experience. The prices have gone up, but I will still support this great homey place! Mahalo Harry!

We arrived around 9ish (mid week). There was about a 5-10 min wait time (not bad considering this place is pretty popular among locals). Staff were friendly and attentive. And the beach vibe was definitely chill and laid back. Our food was delivered freshly hot and in a timely manner (very grateful for that). Of course my wife ordered the famous lilikoi pancakes- they were light and fluffy and topped with an amazing passion fruit sauce 10/10! I don't normally eat a short stack of pancakes, but that lilikoi sauce was fire!!! I ordered the moké nui omelette- it had bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and cheese! It was very hearty! And the hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (just the way I like it). My kids shared the sunrise breakfast- (2) pancakes, (2) eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and toast! Overall, we had an absolute divine dining experience! If we ever come back to the island (which we will), this will definitely be on our list of places to revisit. Mahalo!

Had brunch here earlier today…read more.. Pros- the food is quite good. Service is also friendly. Portion sizes are generous for the most part. Our hash browns looked sad compared to other tables. Noticeably smaller. There was still plenty enough to split between 3 people, but when I compared our portion to several tables around us, felt like we were gypped. Cons- this place can get really busy depending on when you go. It could also be far, depending on where you are staying too.

First time here. Food 5/5…read moreService 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Banana macnut french toast was money. Those of you who enjoy your French toast, this is for you. Not very sweet but plenty of flavor. I like how syrup is served on the side. Keeps your French toast from getting soggy or too sweet. Rest of the food was great as well. That hash brown has the proper crisp and saltines. Simple but money. Very cute beach town cafe feel. Those of you from California coast or beach cities, you know what I'm talking about. We'll be back!

Hours are 1130a till 300p; then 400p to 800p, daily except for Tuesdays...when they're closed. It's been awhile since I last dined at Morey's. It's in Diamond Head so there is a beachy / surfer's vibe. The dining room is huge ( to the left of the front counter ), open space with large windows providing a nice mix of natural light and breeziness. I got a Double Teriyaki Burger for $10...can't beat that price. Excellent. Walked in and ordered takeaway...waited around 10-12 minutes. I just grabbed a macchiato from ARS Cafe, so that was fine by me. The have combos which include fries and a canned drink for an additional $4. They are on the corner of Monsarrat and Kanaina Ave. A small parking lot is adjacent to their unit - accessible via Kanaina Ave.

Review 53 (2026)…read more Yelper Donna invited me to lunch at Liliha Bakery at Ala Moana mall, to celebrate my birthday. It is located inside Macy's. We cheered and toasted with Plantation Iced tea. Donna had Mushroom chicken. I just had light snacks. Very cozy, spacious. After lunch, we went to Bakery, take out " Chocolate puffs and Matcha puffs and Liliha cookies ". Food and drinks, service were excellent !!! Thank you so much, Donna, for wonderful food and drinks, and sweets and gifts. It is nice to see Yelper friends getting together sometimes. Keep in touch.

I suggest you ask for the sauce on the side. It was overpowering. The bread with strawberry flavored pancake syrup was good. I should have ordered that as my meal. lol Service was busy but not too long of a wait.

I had the best mushroom omelette here it is soo good and cheesy , Must try!!…read more We also had the mahi mahi sandwich it was busy with many components that you can barely taste the fish yet is good. Brewed coffee was great not sour not bold very smooth. They give you complimentary toasted Hawaiian bread and home made jam which is lovely. We also picked some Chou buns and cranberry scones to go from the front which were so yummy. There are many seatings in and out and the service is friendly and fast.

We fell for all the reviews here and were quite disappointed. Food quality here is equivalent to…read moreDenny's diner. The food and service were neither good nor need to take bad. Loco Moco came with 2 eggs, hamburger meat, and rice with gravy. Nothing special about this dish. NY steak and eggs were okay. The steak was a bit dry and the eggs not scrambled (per request) but in a rectangular roll that's wet. The banana short stack (2 pancakes) was good but a whooping $17.95! Hawaiian rolls were complimentary. They were warm and came with a red syrup to dip. OJ was not fresh and most likely from a Tropicana can. Coffee was generous. I ordered one cup but was given a whole jug! The bakery has many pastries including their famous cream puffs. Those were good but not extraordinary. The host took a while to seat us when we got there. The cafe wasn't even busy and yet no one greeted us or seated us for a good 10 minutes. Our server was cordial but seemed unenthusiastic. The patio was nice if you wanted fresh air. Beware kf birds trying to steal your food! These birds were fearless hopping onto our table and next to our plates. I'd skip this place and try other eateries in the area. Grab a coffee and possibly pastries elsewhere.

We finally checked out the new Liliha Bakery location at Waikiki Beach Walk and I love that this…read morelocation has a few things that make it different from the others! One of the biggest surprises is that this is the only Liliha Bakery location with Happy Hour! From 3-6 PM, they have 50% off selected beers and cocktails, plus around 20-25% off some of their signature steak and prime rib dishes. Definitely a nice little Waikiki deal if you time it right. Another thing I love is that you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner all day, so of course our table was all over the place. We had the smoked pork belly with eggs, cheeseburger deluxe with a fried chicken add-on, mushroom chicken, and the prime rib with lobster. Everything came out hot and the portions were generous. The prime rib and lobster was definitely one of my favorites, but that fried chicken add-on to the burger is a nice little hack if you want to try more than one thing. Service was friendly and attentive even though the restaurant was busy, and the atmosphere feels bright, casual, and comfortable. Being right at Waikiki Beach Walk also makes it a convenient spot to grab a meal before or after walking around Waikiki. And of course... you cannot go to Liliha Bakery and leave without dessert! We finished with their famous Coco Puffs and mochi donuts. The Coco Puffs are still a must for me! Overall, I really like what they did with this new location. You still get the familiar Liliha Bakery comfort food, but with the Waikiki location, Happy Hour specials, and all-day menu, there are a few extra reasons to check this one out.

I stopped by their newer location near the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and the service was quick and easy. I wanted to try more, but we had to get going! Next time!

What I love: nice selection of coffee, teas, and other drinks which are NOT too sweet. One can always add additional sweetness yet difficult to take away. Love that the food menu offers satisfying "brunchy items" that are both filling yet healthy options. Many are low carb or gluten free options. And when they are not, it is specified on menu. If fried, cooked in healthier oils. Love that the food is deeeeelicious yet guilt free. Space is comfortable with lots of nooks to dine in and not feel crowded. Thank you Dr. Jodi and team for creating this fantastic space and wonderful menu to enjoy..! Thank you JoAnn for introducing me to Rise Cafe!

First: I rarely eat healthy…read more Dr Jodi Nishida (owner, friend, and prior work colleague) has advocated and committed to this education and lifestyle for years! It sounded too hard for me, but I happened to meet a keto cookbook author, Kelly Peterson, who is another friend's colleague, and oh my, I instigated a lunch date to check out Rise Cafe today. The food and beverages we enjoyed were tasty, filling, and fun! I had the brisket with cauliflower rice and bbq drizzle, the brisket was so generous and the yummy cauliflower rice was filling, that I didn't even finish. So no, keto doesn't mean you go hungry. Sharlene had the famous Kamalu Bowl, and Kelly had the Chicken and Chaffles with Matcha Latte. I had the Moketo soda, which was so delightful my friends ordered them for takeout upon our departure. No kidding, I think we have new fans. And, Rise Cafe has entree orders they feature for people like me who rarely cook and thinks this is too hard to do. Just order between Wednesday thru Saturday and pick up to reheat at home. They also have gift cards if you want to encourage others. Jodi has helped countless patients improve their numbers and health, and oh, she has her clinic upstairs too! The decor, the main downstairs dining and quiet dining area upstairs, the layout, the restroom, the menu - all are welcoming and tasteful. You'll have an enjoyable experience, but come early, they close at 3pm. Ample Parking in the lot (no venues here offer validation, but it's so reasonable I've never paid more than $3 when dining at the other restaurants here), or in the two free stalls shared with Subway and others. And, if you're super rushed, you can also Door Dash. Enjoy!
