Decided to do a morning outing to North Shore beach day to watch waves. Stopped at this little locals place for the second time. Love the feel of non touristy location with inside and outside dining. Order at the counter a they provide a number for your table. They have inside and outside dining out back. The outside dining is campy and I like it. Although we were seated inside, at the time we thought it was connected with a different business. We ordered a breakfast burrito for husband and I had the avocado toast and coffee. Really enjoyed my meal, nicely seasoned. The burrito was huge with country fries. This little gem will be on our list when in Haleiwa. read more

We really never come down to Haleiwa, so when we do finding other restaurants to eat is a must. This was our first time here and we really enjoyed Cafe Haleiwa food. I got their tomato Benedict special and just added the egg pouch and avocado. Such a really good combo. I love how the English muffin was really toasted on the bottom it really made it more savoring. I like their homemade fries but some of them weren't cooked all the way so I had to put them On the side. But overall we enjoyed Cafe Haleiwa food and atmosphere. read more

We tried Cafe Haleiwa today since we were in the area, and we had a good experience. Husband and I both ordered the loco moco. They ran out of mac salad, and I was able to sub in avocado instead, which I didn't mind. We both liked the loco moco and thought the gravy was tasted rich and savory. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and outdoor seating might feel more breezy and cool. The parking is located in the back. I think we went at a good time where we were able to find parking, but it doesn't bother us too much if we had to walk. You place your order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Everyone was very nice. The inside has a nostalgic feeling. It felt quaint and cozy. We also didn't want to wait very long for our food. If we're ever in the area again, we would stop by. read more

Hometown Haleiwa feel. So simple and easy going I loved the surfer vibe. Cute little self serve water and pre paid coffee station. The food may come out on paper plates but it is just sooo good. The French toast was what I needed after my hike to refuel my tummy and soul. The bacon was crisp and yummy. Eggs pretty cooked! I don't think I have sat down and ate so much at one time, I almost finished it all!!! Service is chill and kind. Love this cafe! Have been there a couple times and I am never disappointed read more

Really cute place. Thankful to my friends for taking me here! I ordered the chicken club sandwich to go and ate it in the car. We did wait in the restaurant and it was really hot lol Super delicious sandwich but a bit hard to eat! The lettuce and tomatoes kept falling out. I think it would be easier to eat in the restaurant, and in addition I would have liked more mayo, mustard and ketchup (condiments) which I could have asked for if I was in the restaurant. Anyways I would go back if I was in the area! read more

Food was very good and tasty and I found the portions to be quite large ! The small side pancake was the size of a whole plate !! Cute little restaurant and their iced cold brew was quite strong ! Gave it four stars only because the parking at the back was quite tricky and full! Difficult to navigate a bit but it seemed that we went during a busy time! read more

We've passed by this place many of times and thought why not try it out. So we stoped by to get some breakfast. There's plenty of parking in the back. The workers are very nice. I'm not going to lie, it's a little bit run down but that doesn't affect that food quality. The food taste very homey. Comforting and for the price, don't expect top tier high end restaurant. It's like mom or dad made it. The wait was not long and the food was fresh. I'd definitely come here for a quick cheap meal. There's also outdoor seating if you want to enjoy fresh air. read more

Laidback, tons of seating in or outdoors, delicious breakfast and fresh items, coffee and other drink options, in a laxed cafe in the NS, what more could you ask for? This cafe is counter service and the staff work hard to get through the lines of people, cleaning and throwing out trash to make more room for other patrons. Simple chicken sandwich and veggie melt for us today, and it hit the spot. Mahalo all! read more

Twenty years ago, when we lived on the island, Café Haleiwa was our Thursday tradition--it was simply the best! The breakfast burrito is massive, packed with flavor, and always a delight. Pair it with freshly squeezed juice and a great cup of coffee, and you have a perfect start to your day. The avocado toast and sweet bread French toast are also my favorites. This summer, we had the chance to return, and it was just as incredible as we remembered. Café Haleiwa truly is a North Shore staple that never disappoints! read more

Very cute find in Haleiwa Town this morning. My husband and I couldn't decide where to go and randomly picked this cafe in the midst of arriving. Once inside we were greeted by the friendly staff and gazed at their menu for a hot minute ultimately deciding on huevos rancheros. Before ordering we noticed their specials of the day and found Steak Rancheros instead. For them not being an actual Mexican restaurant, their dish was pretty spot on! Better than what I've experienced at these so called taquerias. Even though the sauces they used were probably Herdez Chipotle Salsa Cremosa and Avocado Cilantro, the way it was presented and tasted was delicious. read more

A casual breakfast place in North Shore. When you walk into the place, you order first, then find your own seating inside or outside. There's plenty of seating. We went mid morning on a weekend so it was pretty busy. There were 10 of us and we waited for our food about 30 min. When we ordered they did say it would be about 40-45 min so that was great! They people are very nice and helpful there. The food was worth the wait. Big servings and delicious! We will definitely go back! read more

Visiting from Florida and we've struggled to find a good breakfast spot until now. Amazing food, service and prices. 10/10!!

Excellent breakfast. Love the Northshore community vibe I've been supporting them for over 20 years. Strongly recommend this place

This is a must for breakfast if you are in the area. We were looking for something light and tasty and that's exactly what we were able to get. The food was very well made. The services was excellent with the lady at the front being very knowledgeable and helped us with our decisions. Everyone working there was in high spirits and was very happy. We sat at the indoor seating and it was very cozy with a very Hawaiian vibe. Definitely a place to check out! read more

The French toast was delectable. My friend's Belgian waffles were crispy and light! Butter& syrupy sugar...Yummmm! The waitresses are so very friendly and service oriented! read more

We decided to give this location a shot as we typically avoid it cause it's always so busy.. We ordered a variety of dishes and service was on point!!! My chicken was very dry but still good. The steak was also over cooked and a bit tough.. Prices are what is to be expected in Hawaii. Service was really great!!!! Really made our dining our experience amazing. For a group gathering or special night I would definitely go back. read more

The menu is not big, however, what they serve was tasty and good size portions. We also had iced lattes. Vanilla and of course pumpkin spice time of year. Delicious. It a town that has Plenty of places to eat. I was happy we stopped here. read more

Nice little cafe. My Dr. would approve of all the seafood options for breakfast vs pork. Girls are always friendly here, service is always a perfectly acceptable pace. Will frequent as long as I am on the island. read more

When any of my family visit from the mainland they ALL want to hit this friendly joint for brunch a couple of times. What's not to love? Delicious food, daily specials, good drip coffee, superior service, a pleasant island atmosphere, and AMPLE PARKING right in Haleiwa. If they have anything "benedict" when you visit, try it, their hollendaise sauce is on point. Ditto anything with green sauce like their huevos rancheros. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Me and my husband came in around 10:45, I didn't get my food until 30-40 minutes later. We waited a little longer and realized my husbands food was missing. I went back up to ask about it and the cashier forgot his food completely so we were only charged for my meal. I politely asked for a refund and the manager was super rude about it and didn't even care to understand the situation. We only got refunded for my meal, when it should have been both meals because of the wait time and the experience. Not to mention the food was mediocre at best and we wasted over an hour and a half sitting in this restaurant. read more

Came across this place while making the drive around Oahu. Nice dive breakfast spot. Food was good, felt very homemade. Friendly staff.

I love cafe Haleiwa! Everything about this cafe is absolutely wonderful! The girls are so amazing and they are absolutely so welcoming! Audrey and Kamalei are so wonderful! They have many seating options inside and outside and the service is quick! The menu is extensive and they are always changing up the specials, the restaurant has many different colors and paintings and there is always something to look at! The prices are great and affordable and the food is even better! Definitely stop by if you can!! read more

I'm not gonna lie it's mid. My food was good but it wasn't anything to boast about and kind of under seasoned every time. Potatoes were way over seasoned the few times I've been there, but the actual food not so much. They give u a number like they are going to bring u your food but you still have to go walk up and get it, everything is served on paper plates with actual silverware too which just is confusing. Anyway do what u will with this xoxo read more

Best omelette and pancakes on the island. You have to get them. The coffee is hot the service is great and the island music just confirms the vibe. This is a don't miss place. read more

Perfect location. Ample parking. Sweet little local spot. Friendly staff....and chickens. :--) The food was fresh. Farmers market quality lettuce tomato and avocado on the Sammie's. This is the perfect lunch spot. We happened to be there during the Malama market so we enjoyed love music going on next door. All of this said, I'd say it's more of a breakfast spot with loads of morning options but our lunch was still really yummy. read more

I miss the old Cafe Haleiwa - the clanking of dishes, a packed restaurant, eating on real plates, getting served. Now you walk-in, order food, put a number on your table. Then they bring you food in to go containers with plastic forks. I asked for water - I was told to grab some from a water dispenser pretty far from my table. The cups are also tiny. So I walked back and forth quite a few times during my meal. This might as well be a takeout place. Why do we even still tip the 20%? There is NO service. They just drop off your food, that's it. The only saving grace is the food... which is the same. Everything else is different. There used to even be a full espresso bar. The last two times I've been here they have only had iced coffee or hot coffee. I was raised on the North Shore and have been coming here for years. read more

Last time we were here was right before covid. It definitely has changed, and not for the better, unfortunately. You now order at the counter and they bring out your food. Menu has changed as well, they no longer have the amazing coconut syrup. Food was still pretty decent and you can't beat the price for breakfast in Hawaii. I wouldn't drive out of the way, but if you're in North shore it's a better option than the McDonald's across the street. read more

Stopped by this restaurant on our way to somewhere to start the day and I must admit I wasn't super impressed with the menu. Ordered the Steak and Eggs which comes with NY strip steak, two eggs, and choice of home fries, rice, or beans and toast or tortilla. I thought the options for sides were definitely interesting and settled on the beans and tortilla. There was a lot of potential, but the execution just wasn't that great. It didn't look very appetizing and the taste of the food definitely matched the looks of it. The service was also mediocre, I mean I wasn't expecting too much from this sort of diner-esque spot but I still felt largely unattended to. I also didn't like that I had to basically go to an outhouse to use the restroom...an indoor restroom as one would expect to be attached to the rest of the building or off the main dining room would have been much appreciated. Overall, everything was a little below average, but I still felt that maybe 2.5 stars would be a bit too harsh so, 3 stars it is. read more
