Happy birthday Yelp buddy Donna O.! We had an enjoyable birthday breakfast buffet here. Located in the Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra, dining at Café 410 is a perfect way to start your morning with your friends, visitors and family. Valet and self parking are available at the hotel. No reservations are needed. There was less than a five minute wait time to be seated at our table. Spacious room with a variety of table options. Clean tables and chairs. Nice window views. Buffet Pricing Information: Adult - $27.50 Keiki (10 and under) - $16.50 Seniors - $24.75 Military - $24.75 Airlines - $24.75 Hours of operation: Monday thru Friday Open 6:30 AM - 10:00 AM Saturday and Sunday Open 7:00 AM - 10:30 AM Please refer to a photo of the Buffet Menu. We also had POG (passion fruit, orange juice and guava juice combo). Our server let me mix coffee and cocoa together. ; -). Yummy. Fresh fruits were nice. Pineapple was on the tart side. Red papaya was perfect. Standard breakfast buffet options offered here. The waffles had a Haupia sauce available. It was on the thin side and unremarkable. Service was attentive for the most part. The place filled up after we started. Our server was kept busy. Bathrooms are oddly located outside of the restaurant. It's not far, but it's also not near. IYKYK. Best part was celebrating Donna's birthday and talking story with her. She is a busy person at work and home. I'm delighted she was able to pick this place and we got together today. read more

Been a very long time since the last time I've been here, and even though the name changed to Cafe 410 from Plantation Cafe, it still has the same people, same vibe, same Aloha. This is mainly a breakfast buffet place located next to the lobby of Ala Moana Hotel. Open from 630-10am weekdays and 7-1030am weekends. No hotel parking, but can park at Ala Moana and walk over. The regular price for the buffet is $27.50. What a deal! Where else can you find a buffet UNDER $30?? No where else! Kids $16.50. Senior/Military/Airlines is $24.75. On certain holidays, Cafe 410 offers a special brunch buffet. We went on Mother's Day. $85/person, $40 for keiki (6-11). Being a keiki at heart doesn't count :(. A very good deal with other places well over $100 per person. It might not be as expansive as other places, but still had Prime Rib, Snow Crab Legs, Roasted Pork Loin, Misoyaki Butterfish, Omelette Station, and etc. The inside is open and spacious, clean and organized. It had a cozy, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. A nice assortment of bread, bagels, and other pastries. Really enjoyed everything in the cold station: sushi, shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon with capers and red onion, cheese with jam, sweet potato salad, green onion and ginger tofu and etc. These were all my favorites! Biggest surprise was the tofu because the green onion and ginger sauce was spot on! Hot entrees were good. Definitely hit up mostly the Misoyaki butterfish and snow crab. Fish was very tasty and flavorful. Crab was sweet. Enjoyed the local style fried rice! Forgot how good it was! Probably the only thing that was a miss was the hamburger steak. I liked the thick patties, but it wasn't seasoned enough in the meat and sauce. Overall, a very nice brunch. Enjoyed everything. Definitely left super full! Service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and super nice. Loved seeing the manager and head chef walking around checking on guests, and each table received chocolate ganache truffles personally made by him. They were very good! Smooth, nice consistency, and not overly sweet. With so many families dining, staff being so welcoming, plus the pleasant music in the background, it felt like Ohana. read more

Great variety at Cafe 410 breakfast buffet! Needed breakfast during a staycation and saw recommendations from Aunty Nadine and Donna O. for this AYCE buffet. Conveniently located on the ground level of the Ala Moana Hotel (entrance on Atkinson Drive), Cafe 410 features hot entrees (including omelette of the day), fresh fruits, cereal, quinoa, oatmeal, yogurt, miso soup and tofu, waffles, and spinach salad (plus salad of the day), and various pastries. Especially enjoyed the pineapple, hamburger steak with brown mushroom sauce, fried rice, applewood sausage, hickory smoked maple sausage, ratatouille, and chia pudding. Loved the discounted rate available for kamaaina and military. Beverages are included, making for a solid deal (or dealage as Bruddah Fran would say lol). Cafe 410 is open for breakfast only. Service was superb! Dining room was modestly full (mostly hotel guests) but did not feel crowded. Note: the escalators were closed for repair so must use the elevators. read more

Went to this cafe located in the Ala Moana hotel on Oahu. My wanted to have breakfast at Cafe 410 because of the convenience since we were staying at the hotel. Waited in line about 15 minutes because of the morning rush. Anyhow the food was cooked really well and not overcrowded or overly salty or spicy. I enjoyed the fruits and I had Mellon and cantaloupe also. Fried rice with scrambled eggs, bacon and Portuguese sausage was Ono! And kinda ate a bit too much but walked it off in the mall. Oh yeah wife said coffee was good too and not burnt or weak. read more

We came in for the breakfast buffet and at leas than $30 per adult and half price for kids, it was the best buffet deal around Waikiki. It's located inside the Ala Moano Hotel and next to the Ala Moana Mall so there is a free parking option if you park at the mall next door and walk over. We ended up shopping at the mall afterwards anyway. Service was good. The server served us water and took our plates away quickly when they were empty. The food was decent! There were miso soup, fried rice, bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, fruit selection, pastry selection, oatmeal, hamburger steak with gravy, steam white rice, breakfast potatoes and a few more dishes that I can't remember. There was also a fruit juice selection that you pour yourself and a coffee area too! My kids ate adequately and that's the highlight. Be sure to mention if you're in military for a discount. read more

My husband's idea to eat breakfast buffet due to lower price considering inflation on O'ahu food prices. None to the following available or offered: eggs benedict, omelet station, prime rib station, crab or lobster station. Customer service for host/hostess and servers are on par. However, kitchen staff have difficulty replenishing hot and cold items to keep up with locals and tourists feasting in a timely manner. Casual ambience. Chairs, tables and interior could use an upgrade considering location is on the property of Ala Moana Honolulu by Mantra. Noteworthy items: Cinnamon French toast with coconut syrup Halloumi Vegetable Quiche Scrambled eggs tasted fresh and served in oval chaffing dish. Local Style Fried Rice: My husband's favorite. Yes to garlic taste and diced Portuguese sausage. No to too much butter taste. Miso soup: Tasted delicious with seaweed, fresh tofu and green onions. Temperature wasn't hot. Stop here if you're looking for last minute breakfast buffet $25 per person and half that price for kids 11 years and under. 15% off military discount offered when presented with valid photo ID. Walk ins accepted. read more

Breakfast buffet in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located at the Ala Moana Hotel, Cafe 410 used to be known as Plantation Cafe. All of the old reviews stayed with the location... even with the name change. Cafe 410 got its current name from its address: 410 Atkinson Drive. It's located on the ground level, right outside of the hotel lobby - on the right side of the valet area. Inside, the waiting area was a bit crowded with tourists who stay at this hotel - because it seems like they receive a breakfast buffet with their room. Eventually, we were seated way in the back with a view of the garden. The variety of breakfast items was quite impressive. I focused on the fresh fruits: watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, oranges, and grapes were sweet! I also liked the caprese salad and spinach/cranberry salad. The bacon, scrambled eggs, fried rice, Portuguese sausage, oatmeal, and Hamburger Steak were all filling. I didn't get a chance to try some of the other items such as cold cereal and miso soup because I just couldn't eat any more. (I did drink some POG [passion orange Guava] juice from the beverage station.) Service was local-style welcoming! Staff were not rushing us to leave even though they were closed already. The workers sure hustled and cleaned up all of the used dishes and utensils! This was a fun experience! Thanks to Donna O. for another good idea! For $24.50, plus tax and tip, it was worth it! read more

Great variety of food choices for breakfast even hamburger steak. Only thing missing was a waffle station and made to order omelette station but the overall vibe, interior decor more than made up for that. Our table attendant was super attentive always with a genuine bright smile and so very quick and efficient. Every server and the older Caucasian lady up front should be as welcoming and friendly, Enjoyed the fruits most of all- papaya, honey dew, cantaloupe, grapes and watermelon. Pineapple looked light in color so I skipped them. Besides all the hot items there was also miso soup and oatmeal with condiments. If I was hungrier I would have perhaps tried them, If you are in search for a breakfast place you might venture here. It's off the lobby by the valet station. read more

I wanted to try this place for awhile, since during covid, the restaurant was not opened. It's so nice to have the breakfast buffet again and it's under new name 410 Cafe. It's located just outside the lobby by the valet of the Ala Moana Hotel. They are opened for breakfast only and closes at 10am or 10:30 am on the weekends. It seems like most of the diners were their hotel guests and they open at 6am. Maybe their meals are included with their rooms. It's a nice breakfast buffet for $24.50 for adults and it included my coffee and the 4 juices on the breakfast buffet. You can spend just as much for breakfast at other places! Just have to dine early and if you park at Ala Moana Shopping Center, you suppose to pay per sign posted by the walkover bridge. Perhaps best not to park near the hotel or make it obvious. Great breakfast selection. This is what we had for that Sunday. Buffet: Fruits of variety melons , pineapple, Oranges slices & grapes Cereal: dry cereals (2) & oatmeal Miso soup French Toast Pastries (freshly baked butter croissant and muffins) Bagel and sliced bread Spinach & Caprese salad 4 types of juices Meats: Portuguese sausage, chicken sausage, bacons Halloumi (toasted bread pieces with tomato and Cheese (Halloumi) Scrambled Eggs Rice, potatoes, and fried rice! Coffee & tea Items on the menu may subject to change. I really like the selection here and the price. I Just have to go early to dine here. read more

This is a wonderful breakfast buffet and I'm told it's a favorite of the locals as well. The food selection is very good and they have a ton of of breakfast meats, fruit items and plenty of breads and pastries in addition to the usual items such as scrambled eggs, French toast and juice options. The fried rice here is awesome and I wouldn't have ever thought about eating that for breakfast but it's a must have staple here. One missing for me is that I'd love to see pancake and/or waffle options as well as an omelette station, but I've never come up short on finding an overflowing plateful of delicious food (or two). The buffet is around $24.99 at the current time and for its selection, it's a good deal in Beautiful Hawaii. My favorite place to sit is a window table, so if you want one get there early and ask for one. It can be rather busy after 9am so get there early or plan to wait 5 to 15 minutes for a table. Enjoy! read more

Cafe 410 - Beautiful views here. - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We were staying in at the hotel during the Honolulu Marathon weekend and decided to have breakfast here before checking out. It is a buffet style breakfast, which was $24.50 per adult. Personally speaking, for what they've got offered, you should go have breakfast somewhere else. It's very basic - scrambled eggs, bacon, 2 choices of cereal, fruits, juice, etc. You could definitely do better for this price, and you'll feel happier. Go to the neighboring Ala Moana mall. Otherwise, please eat your money's worth of eggs, meats, and fruits. The decor is really nice outside and looks very modern. When you get inside, it feels/ looks like an outdated restaurant from the early 90s. Just doesn't match. It's like click bait. Food wasn't terrible - it tasted like you'd expect, and service was good, so I'll go with the 3-stars. I'll still go somewhere else next time though. read more

Ample Breakfast Buffet, Blissful Way To Start The Day: It was a hop, skip & jump to this cafe, situated right next to the Ala Moana Hotel. Even early in the morning, this breakfast buffet was bustling!!! As I walked in, a cheerful hostess greeted, & led to a table. The nice hostess, did as I asked, allowing me to sit further in the back, far away from the forming crowd! So I sat peacefully, with a view of a serene garden, situated just across!! It seemed pleasant here, & the buffet, seemed appealing & plentiful!!! What an assortment there was: With Something For Everyone!!! From American fare to Asian fare, from hearty to light: It Was All Right Here! Among the selections are: oatmeal; French Toast; various breads & pastries; fried rice; fried potatoes; various meats & sausages; ground meat patties in gravy; various fruit drinks; an array of sweet & savory sauces; exotic coconut syrup; even miso soup; & fresh slices of fruit! After returning to my table, a smiling waitress appeared, bearing a pot of hot tea & cream. Though the waitress seemed to study the tables, she paid no heed to clearing my dirty plate! The next day, this happened once again, where another waitress smiled & seemed nice, but let the dirty plates lie!! For someone with OCD, this felt unnerving!! Oh well, both times that I dined alone, each waitress gave me tea to go!!! Yet, both times, I felt somewhat overlooked. Even yet, I tipped, too generously, for what seemed, their minimal efforts... It was on the third visit though, that I came with My Beau !!! At our request, a nice hostess, with a very sunny smile, agreed to seat us near the garden! So here we sat, privately & comfortably..Then, came the loveliest of waitresses, who nodded to us in greeting, returning with orange juice, coffee & cream!! We then, made our way to the buffet, & Beau, chose delicately from the vast array. From the fruit drinks, he chose guava, whilst I picked fresh slices of papaya. As we ate, Beau agreed the food was good. And, this time, the service was simply exceptional!! How many times, our waitress, refilled my coffee, & cleared our plates!! She truly went Above & Beyond, & Made Our Day!!! , Then, we left, going out the garden back way!! Here we lingered, amidst the beauty of flowers..We were happy to have dined here, for a few blissful hours .Truly, our first breakfast alone, in Hawaii, was heartily ample & lovely!! read more

Unbelievably over priced. This is a small buffet with limited options and the food is a fraction above gas station food. The cost for a family of 4 was +$100. The service was also severely lacking, we never received a refill on any drinks. read more

First of all we were serviced by a wonderful waitress who was very friendly and on top of things. I saw that they replenish the food right away when they got low. Food was excellent and so fresh. Variety of good and healthy food. Very clean and great atmosphere. I love the fried rice and miso soup. And the chia pudding is a must. Over all I give Cafe 410 a 5 star. I recommend this place for a breakfast gathering. Definitely coming back!!! It's worth it. read more

Cafe 410 - Hot coffee and nice cold juices. Ice water with ice. - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A few moms were looking for a breakfast spot to gather at with a central location, ample parking, and food options for everyone.....all of us were so pleased to stumble upon this breakfast spot!! Each adult is $24.50, senior citizen receive 15% off, hmm, I don't remember how much for children. We were greeted at the door and were asked if we were hotel guest. That made me think of all the family hotels I have used that provided free breakfast so this must of been created for that concept. I'm thankful they allow non-guest to purchase breakfast! As you can see by all of my pictures, there was a great selection! We were shown our table and introduced to iur server who asked if we wanted coffee and water. These were ready at our table when we came back with our plates of food. I enjoyed the fruit selection , the toast and croissant were great especially if you quickly warmed it up in that toaster. I really liked their local fried rice! Oh, who am I kidding, we enjoyed it all w a gazillion coffee refills! Heehee Hmmm, we got there after dropping our kids off to school and stayed until 10 am when they closed! And we plan on doing this monthly!! Ha! *pls don't park at ala moana mall or else you will get a parking ticket! The mall does not open until later so one mom got a ticket...boo to our wonderful positive gathering! read more

Cafe 410 is more of a local buffet spot. A large percentage of their guests are local and repeaters Nothing fancy, fresh fruit, common local starches, breakfast meats (great crispy bacon too), eggs scrambled, breakfast drinks, a leafy green and tomato salad, cereal and oatmeal, and great coffee! Nothing extraordinary...just good tasting and satisfying. The staff is well trained...efficient and caring. Friendly too. The atmosphere is totally casual, as is the attire, like being at aunty's house for a bite. Neighbor islanders stay at the hotel because of the near Ala Moana Center and casual ambience and relaxing, non-threatening atmosphere the campus provides. Cafe 410 sets the mark! read more

I thought they had good options and just enough. They had salad and miso soup and caprese salad which i thought was strange for morning food but at least difrent options. Staff was nice and helpful. Flow of buffet was not crowded, they needed more signs for what the juices were, and or some of the food items. They have to go cups which i thought was delightful. Overall cheap good breakfast for $22 a person, they added some nice updated but furniture felt lil outdated didnt match the rest but good breakfast overall leaving full and satisfied. read more

Great breakfast buffet. Has a lot of everything you could want for breakfast. Very reasonably priced.

More like 2.5 stars, just average. This breakfast buffet is very small considering they charge $18.50. The Plantation Cafe is located at the Ala Moana Hotel, near the check in lobby, and is a breakfast only place, they close at 10:00 AM. I didn't see any pancakes, and the waffles you have to make yourself, so there's always a line. To me, this place should be in the $12 range food wise, but the service was excellent, super friendly and courteous. I only ate here once, and it is a good option if you're staying at the Hotel. read more

Located at Ala Moana Hotel right outside the lobby. We went at 7 am to have the breakfast buffet. There wasn't that much to choose from, but if you're willing to spend twenty plus dollars, and if you're just a simple breakfast person this place may be for you. I'm more of having a variety to choose from, I.e. Portuguese sausage, breakfast sausage, fried rice, etc. There were two meats available today, bacon and ham. Scrambled eggs, white rice, mixed veggies, yogurt, bagels, bread, some fruits, and thin pancakes. COVID guidelines in place, I like how the greeter makes sure to tell you to sanitize your hands before getting your food. The tables and surrounding was clean and looked sanitary. read more

Plantation Cafe is located at the Ala Moana Hotel right outside their entrance. My booking came with complimentary breakfast buffets each morning and so I took advantage of it one morning while I had time to. I was greeted by the friendly hostess and shown the way. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious with a number of tables and seats throughout. The floor to ceiling windows did a great job of bringing in the light and making the room feel more open and bright. The buffet itself was your standard breakfast fare of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, fruits, cereals, baked goods, & juices. The food was a-ok, I got my fill and had no complaints, but again nothing really stood out either. I did really like the donut though! If the buffet doesn't come with your hotel booking, the pricing itself was pretty fair. Prices are Adult $18.50, Child $10.25. It's even cheaper at Adult $14.50 if you just want a continental breakfast buffet. There's also additional offerings that you can order like omelets, organic eggs, and maui brewing beverages for an extra $3-$4. It's a good option if you just need to eat real quick and need more than just coffee and pastries. Otherwise, there's Starbucks just a few steps away in the lobby. read more

I haven't been here in years. I used to come when they served dinner. Now they serve breakfast. The buy one get one free is a limited time special. They have two belgium waffle makers. Be sure to spray on the spam on the hot iron so the cooked waffle can come out. Do not forget to read the instructions. I liked the crispy bacon and the poached egg on the corned beef hash. They also had fried rice, small pieces of potatoes. The fruits were fresh and there was also fried rice, scrambled eggs, ham, small pastries, oatmeal, yogurt. The special is only on certain days - weekdays...for a limited time. We were served with a smile and received timely refills. The cost for one person was close to $19.00 so that price for two is pretty good. read more

Definitely eat here if it's free with your stay! I don't recommend eating here if you have to pay regular price - $18.50 each. They did have a decent selection of food and it was pretty tasty. Just not worth the price in my opinion. It's a pretty basic hotel breakfast buffet with some extras. There are pastries, milk, juices, oatmeal, cereal, and then hot selections like a make your own waffle bar, scrambled eggs, fried rice, ham, bacon and more! If you have no transportation this may be a good option for breakfast if you're staying in the Hotel. The staff were really nice and they even brought us juice and refilled our drinks. It's convenient in that sense. read more

We told her we will make this place our regular visit just because the food is right down our alley. Why cook @ home when you can treat yourself right here @ CAFE 410? FYI - you park on the Ala Moana Shopping Center parking lot near the hotel please read the signs you need to pay for your parking Allied Security will be watching out for you, just an FYI read more

If possible, I will always choose not to dine in at a hotel restaurant, especially one of this caliber, but, convenience took precedence. Plus, I hadn't reviewed it prior as Yelp wasn't even born yet at the time. ATMOSPHERE: The place looks like it hasn't been renovated since it's inception and still rocks a 70's/80's Miami theme. Big windows let in lots of natural light. Seating was plentiful, didn't feel over crowded, and the buffet area flowed fairly smoothly. MENU: Breakfast buffet, continental breakfast. FOOD: Breakfast Buffet - $16.50 The only downfall was the lack of an omelette station. Everything I had was good: Scrambled eggs, bacon that could've been crispier, cheesy roasted potatoes, hearty Spam & bacon fried rice, savory miso soup, and perfectly sweetened guava juice. Other options were as expected, including cereals, breads, pastries, pre-made waffles, etc. SERVICE: The male server was friendly and accommodating. He graciously brought us coffee and water with a smile. OVERALL: I'm not a buffet fan as I feel I can't eat my worth, but here they offer a good price, convenience with decent & tasty options. read more

For the price and considering the menu offerings, this is a GREAT place for Breakfast. I took my Family and my youngest daughter's friends and all enjoyed the breakfast.

No need for a "carver" or omelet station. Liked the fried rice! read more

Plantation Cafe is a little breakfast buffet connected to the Ala Moana Hotel... Located just outside the main lobby. I ate at Plantation Cafe during one of my stays at the Ala Moana Hotel. I took advantage of their "Kama'aina Special," which included the breakfast buffet with a booking. The food selection at Plantation Cafe is huge! It is definitely not your typical "hotel continental breakfast." The bacon was hot and crispy, and they even had a waffle machine with toppings! Their hours and dining space are very limited. When I waddled down from my hotel room, still half asleep, there was a long line formed out the door to the host desk. I waited for about 15 minutes before getting to the front of the line and was told that there would be a wait for a table. Instead, I opted to take-out so that I could eat in my room. I loaded up my take-out container with a little of everything. They even gave me a to-go cup to fill with pineapple juice. Restaurant workers are very friendly to guests and work with a sense of urgency to keep the buffet items filled. read more
