    Pork adobo fried rice
    Jules K.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Mahi special

    Had the special Mahi plate. It was cooked perfectly, and friend had the Mahi sandwich special. Food was great, and serviceanother friend had the Loco Moco

    Latte

    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
    Jackie W.

    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.

    Loco moco

    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.

    Jinaelle L.

    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!

    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

    Looks edible but the rice was severely undercooked

    I've been coming to Bogart's for over 20 years, so it's disappointing to say that today's visit really missed the mark. I ordered the Mama's Fried Rice, and the rice was noticeably undercooked--completely inedible. At $17, that's hard to overlook. It feels like the quality has been slipping, and the focus has shifted more toward catering to tourists than maintaining the consistency that kept locals like me coming back. Hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely shook my confidence in a longtime favorite.

    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!

    Pork Adobo Fried Rice (THE BOMB- so good for the price!) and Bogart's Famous Loco Moco (The beef is so tender and tasty with the sauce)

    First of all I just want to say the adobo rice IS THE BOMB. It is a must try! My family and I came here visiting from Houston, Texas. I want to say that the workers are so welcoming and nice. I love the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant. If you want something healthy, sweet, and/or savory - this place has it all. I just want to say that their blueberry scone is SO GOOD. There was only 1 left after I ordered my blueberry scone and that went straight to my mouth/st. I raced to the cash register to get the last one and the owner was so nice that he gave me the last one on the house. I just really want to say thank you and it made my day!

    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?

    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.

Every single item on the food and drink menu is crafted with such robust flavor with so much dimension in each bite. The drink menu is unique, I had a cocktail I can't remember the name of it but it had plum something and was created by one of the servers there. So cool to see employees own work on the menu, he shared with us how hard and long he worked on the craft cocktail to make it perfect. Now this is a bartender! Would definitely recommend making a reservation, unless it's just you and maybe one other than the bar is mostly open seating I think. I got lucky and walked in on a Sunday night and there happened to be two open seats at the bar which i hear is unheard of due to the popularity that is this restaurant.

I sampled the Korean Chicken Burger? I heard it was their top item so I figured I'd just try it. It was very sweet and crispy, but I'm not sure how it constitutes as anything that would make me say "wow." I sampled my friend's fish dish and this was delicious and I think I liked it better than what I got. I wish that the side that they used for the carbs wasn't potatoes and maybe a rice option? They brought some sort of fried fish ball that had a pretty good spicy tartar sauce that everyone on our table was fighting over. Overall, I think the food wasn't something I would come back for, but the service was astounding - especially when someone on our table did not like the drink they ordered - our waitress offered to take it back and serve her another drink that she hopefully liked. Ambiance is very posh and dim - yet casual at the same time. We came at a lunch hour so not too fancy, I can imagine people getting dressed up fancy to go here at night though.

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. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open. Bathrooms are not assigned which I'm sure can get gross, but is great to not have to wait for just the women's. There is a big stall which was perf since baby is potty training and had to go #1 and #2! Only thing missing was a hook to hang my purse and her bag. Great dinner...but if anyone is listening...bring back the shrimp and grits!!!

Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh.

She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol.

And she goes 'the bakery closes at 10' As we're talking every single worker hurriedly walks away avoiding eye contact. So I said again 'the time on the door says 10pm' her response was 'oh no that's wrong only the bakery is open till 10' Next day I go back at 9pm. First thing I ask the sever 'what time do you close?' Lo and behold '10pm' Again I never make it a habit but we would have been out of there before the other tabes were done eating. Long day at work and I just needed fuel.
