Aloha!! This a true taste of Hawaiian food, service is great, always looking for the best for their clients. thank you. read more

The food is delicious and portion sizes are great. The smoothies are also delicious. Everyone that works there has been friendly when I've gone in. read more

Been here several times and consider this a great addition to South Temecula. The food is always delicious and service is great! My husband and kids loves the chicken Katsu and I like all their plate lunches. read more

An excellent place for authentic Hawaiian food! They even sell Hawaiian merchandise. They serve the best malasada donuts ever with chocolate/coconut filling covered in cinnamon sugar! Great and accommodating customer service. Will come back. read more

I had high expectations since the reviews were so great but sadly I was left disappointed. I ordered the mini plate and had the kalua pork and it was so salty!! I couldn't even finish the few bites I had. It actually upset my stomach. The rice and Mac salad were fine. I also ordered a malasada with coconut to try since I've never had one and it wasn't that great either. The coconut cream was super lumpy and I just wasn't pleased with it at all. I ended up throwing everything away. It was $12 down the drain basically. Cute little shop and nice employees but I probably won't ever go back.. just my opinion. read more

Loved the food. My birthday was complete with a wonderful meal here. The owners are very kind, nice clean cozy place. I enjoyed the colors and decor!!!!! And you buy stuff too! The Kukui Nut necklaces were super cute! But no nfl Vikings.... but I'll be back so no worries.... Thank you!!! read more

They stepped in when another caterer canceled on me last minute, everything was delicious!! I would recommend to anyone and everyone!! Thank you so much for saving my daughter's birthday!!! I would recommend to anyone!! read more

Too salty, or too flavorless. Donut things that taste like banana bread was delicious though. Lumpia (idk why a Filipino item was here) was gross and the curry dip was just awkward. read more

This place is okay. The rice and Mac salad were pretty good but the chicken tasted a little funky. Probably won't come back.

It's ok. IMO if you've never been to hawaii and this is what you imagine it to be like...its not doing Hawaiian food justice. But it's ok. If youve had Hawaiian food and are craving it, it may satisfy a craving. Not bad. Not good. Just ok....maybe the lack of a hawaiian ocean breeze changes the way you feel about the food? read more

Out buying groceries, but first rule of grocery shopping is, don't do it on an empty stomach. I had a couple places bookmarked in this area and decided to go here since it's been a while since I had some ono grindz. After looking over the menu we decide on a combo plate of Kalua pork and yakitori beef and a Bento box. So combo plate comes with 2 scoops rice, 1 scoop macaroni salad, a crab puff, and lumpia. They serve it in a plastic tray and the portion section for the rice and mac salad are the exact same size. 2 scoops of rice are not the size of 2 scoops you may be used to anywhere else. I ran out of rice before finishing up the pork and beef. The mac salad was mostly flavorless and the rest of it was pretty mediocre. The Bento box fared mostly the same. There was some added ramen noodles which again were flavorless as was the shrimp tempura which also lacked crunch. One thing we did enjoy was the malasada. That tasty piece of filled dough is the main reason I'm hitting this place with 3 stars. If you're craving some proper malasadas this is probably your only spot in this area. Other than that, food overall, quite honestly, was forgettable and mediocre. read more

We just tried Da Coconut Cafe for the first time and loved it. We were thinking about having them cater an event but wanted to try the food first. We are so glad we did, they were so helpful and the food was delish. We tried a little bit of everything and our kids were even licking their plates cause it was so good! We are definitely coming back. read more

I've made plenty of orders and dine ins here- the food is great and is a reasonable price. They get the food out within a good amount of time. The restaurant is clean and located in a nice plaza. I usually get the chicken katsu mini plate or the bbq beef- both are great! Their spam musubi is delicious as well. This place is great if you're craving hawaiian food for a good price! read more

Great authentic Hawaiian food! They also had all Hawaiian sodas. I really enjoyed their Hawaiian plate.

Great little place serving up plate lunch. Ordered the "Mini" Katsu w/curry on the side. And it was a huge portion. Also tried a side of the kalua pork. Amazing! Will definitely be back! Don't forget to try a malasada for desert... read more

We returned from our Hawaiian vacation last week and wanted to see if this place measured up to the food we had there. I had the kahlua pork mini lunch with rice, lumpia and macaroni salad. My husband had the kahlua pork nachos, and fries with gravy. The pork was authentic, just like the luau we went to in Maui. My husband loved his nachos. The chips aren't traditional tortilla chips, but lighter. It was great food, for a good value. We used the check in offer for the donut, filled with coconut cream. Wow. It was warm, with sugar on it, buttery and delicious. The owners grew up on Oahu, so are the real deal. She told us about their $3.95 breakfast special that we will definitely have to try. Super friendly people. Love supporting a local business. read more

Order Chicken Katsu, Manapua, Spam musubi and some malasadas. Was excited to have some authentic Hawaiian food only to be disappointed. Chicken katsu was so dried that I couldn't finish my plate. The Mac salad was tasteless and too much mayo. The spam musubi rice was soggy, spam was overcooked, crunchy or a day old. Manapua was alright but not great. The only good thing that we enjoyed eating was the malasadas. read more

Probably my favorite place to go for a hearty lunch!! I didn't finish my meal so it was a great lunch and dinner. Didn't wait that long, customer service was amazing and there're very helpful with question. Will be coming back again!! read more

Thank you for a pleasant surprise here in the Temecula valley. Authentic, refreshing island fare with superb hawaiian customer service. Cheri is one of the better working owners i have encountered. she is passionate about allowing her food to make people happy.

The food is great here. It's a step above your typical hawaiian food chains (L&L, Ono's etc), and feels more authentic. The prices are good, the facility is clean, and the workers are kind and helpful. As an added bonus, the containers are awesome. I love a good reusable container. read more

I was happy to find a place right here in Temecula that offers fresh-baked malasadas, (plain or vanilla-, chocolate-, or coconut-filled). At our first opportunity, my wife and I visited Da Coconut Cafe, and received a pleasant greeting from one of the owners. I ordered my favorite, Loco Moco, and of course, one of each type of malasada, and...I was so distracted by those malasadas that I can't remember what my wife ordered, (shhhh, don't tell). The Loco Moco was great, but before I tried it, I had to try a couple of those freshly-made malasadas, still warm in the box, (my favorites were the plain and the coconut-filled). They were great, as was the Loco Moco. I do remember that my wife enjoyed her entree, even if I don't remember what it was. We've been back a couple of times, and one time brought some friends with us. The service is always friendly, and I love the food. BTW, did I mention that I really like the malasadas? :) read more

Outstanding food and outstanding service. Came in craving Hawaiian type food "Local" and found this place on Yelp. This place is like a high end L & L. Food was very tasty. I ordered the Meat Jun and it was sooo delicious. My friend ordered the Chicken Katsu but received BBQ Chicken instead. The lady working immediately fixed that issue and brought over a side chicken Katsu to go with the BBQ chicken. Of course while there had to have a Malasada for dessert. The Haupia filled is very good. Recommend this place to anyone craving local style food from Hawaii in the Temecula area :) read more

I ordered from Da Coconut Cafe through pickup. It was my first time trying it out and it was amazing. The best Hawaiian food in the Temecula area. I recommend the katsu plate as it was a super huge portion. I also got the curry version for my dad who said it was not too spicy and super delicious. Their Mac salad is the perfect amount of chewiness and flavor. I also got two orders or spam musubi and those were super flavorful and delicious. I ordered the Shoyu poke and it was some of the best poke I've tasted. I recommend if you get the big katsu plate, get a half pound of poke to save some of the rice and eat them as a couple of separate meals. Overall, it's some really delicious food that I highly recommend!!!! read more

Prices are pretty fair for Hawaiian bbq. Good options. Small cafe space. Place for quick meals. Bbq beef was ok, pork is really good, short rib great, Mac salad was tasteless, overall I would come again but probably get a poke bowl or something else. read more

Excellent food! The owner is super sweet and is always happy to answer any questions you might have.

Was in Temecula for the weekend and yelped for "local Hawaiian" style food. Went to check it out and it was pretty decent Hawaiian style food. They had meat jun (which I've never found anywhere else besides Hawaii) and tasted pretty good, but not the same as what I'm used to. All in all, not a bad experience. **They really need to get better/stronger quality cutlery. you could barely cut with the knives they had** read more

We used Da Coconut Café for our wedding rehearsal brunch catering and wedding day dessert table. We stopped by the restaurant to taste the food and desserts and Cheri was super helpful. She also was easy to coordinate our final order and delivery needs. Cheri and her staff were very easy to work with, very friendly and accommodating, and reliable. Da Coconut Café delivered all the food on time as ordered on both occasions. No hassle and everyone was satisfied ! We loved the food and especially enjoyed their spam musubi and malasadas. Cheri coordinated making mini cupcake versions of the guava cake with frosting- just for our event. It was a great experience from beginning to end and Da Coconut Cafe helped us each step of the way. read more

Authentic island style food with excellent service. Friendly owners- Cheri was born and raised in Hawaii, and Chalo was born and raised in Samoa. They met and married in Hawaii and decided to open this restaurant after Chalo's retirement from the US Army. Many of the employees come from Hawai'i too. They know how real island food should taste and share it with aloha. Malasadas are my favorite and I'm amazed they have it here! I also love meat jun. The availability of meat jun outside of Hawaii is extremely low so I'm glad they offer it. I can't wait to come back and try everything they offer. They have everything from lumpia, saimin, teriyaki burgers, Redondo's hot dogs, S&S saimin to Dole whip and Portuguese doughnuts (malasadas). Something for everyone. Bottom line: Delicious variety of fresh island foods. Clean restaurant. Family run business. Veteran owned. Definitely recommend. read more

Ordered Loco Moco/Spam Musubi/lumpia/MAC salad/Pineapple Sorbet. Loco Moco was "OK" edible. My husband liked it. Spam Musubi was DRY and no teriyaki sauce. So disappointing!! Lumpia was pretty good. They are home made, but they tasted more like egg rolls than anything. MAC salad is my favorite part of Hawaiian BBQ. Well not this one!! It was literally plain pasta, no salt. Light Mayo, and carrots. ?!?!? So disappointing to say the least. The pineapple sorbet was edible. It was extremely sweet and tasted like fake canned pineapple juice... I went back to the store and the store manager gave us a full refund. That was fair of her. We will not be coming here again. read more

Felt like we stepped into a friend's home! Friendly staff, smiles the whole time. The female worker even reminded me of the free malasada with a yelp check-in! Retired military man with his granddaughter got a "Thank you for your service!" as he came in and received a military discount! We love supporting small businesses and with this type of customer service, they get a A+ in that respect! They sell Hawaiian Sun drinks, backpacks, hours, bracelets, coffees, a lil' bit of everything from the Islands! Bright and clean decor! Food came out pretty fast. I got the bento box, a treasure of all sorts of Island goodness: spam, hot dog, tempura shrimp, teri chicken, fried noodles and rice! For $6.95?! Get outta here, hahaha! My son got the spam and egg breakfast but ended up switching with me when he saw my variety plate! The hubs got the spicy mayo ahi poke bowl. Really good! The mac salad needed some salt, but other than that these are delish eats made with love that don't hurt your wallet! read more

the poke bowls here are great, the fish is all fresh and contained in a very safe environment. The toppings and rice are also very high quality. I am also a large fan of their chicken curry, it was recommended to me by their cashier Tiffany and it was amazing.

Came here for the first time today and was greeted by a friendly man who was so helpful. I had the breakfast sandwich with Portuguese sausage and my friend had the Kalua Sada. The Kalua was so moist and flavorful. We also had two coconut filled malasadas that were so light and fresh. Definitely will be back! I'm not familiar with Hawaiian cuisine, but my friend is. She was impressed. read more

Da Coconut Cafe - From the minute we walked in, we were greeted and helped like we were personal friends. Friendly, clean, helpful and the food was delicious! - Poke Near Me - Temecula, California

Even though it's on the main drag, Da Coconut Cafe is set back in a little strip mall so it's easy to overlook. If you're craving some island food it's not a bad spot but it does have some issues. INSIDE: There are a handful of tables, a couple TVs playing sports, and you order at the counter. They also sell a handful of Hawaiian items (shoyu, jam, mac nuts, etc.). There are paper menus, but we were told that the menus on the mounted TV screens were more accurate. Fair enough, but with a healthy number of choices the three screens with the menus are a bit small/difficult to read. MALASADAS: We shared a plain and a haupia (coconut cream) malasada. They were delicious! If I were in the area I'd come back here just for the malasadas. Not greasy, not too heavy, cooked to order (so it took a bit of a wait). LUMPIA: Freshly fried, crispy on the outside and hot on the inside these lumpia had a good meat to veggie ratio, but was made with ground beef. There was no indication on the menu as to what was in the lumpia and I forgot to ask so I was flying blind. I prefer pork but these were still quite tasty. DOLE WHIP: If the menu doesn't say anything, I expect that my Dole Whip is pineapple. AC was suprised and disappointed that it was a mix of pineapple and mango. We had waited a while for our food and were on the go otherwise we would've asked for a refund or for them to make a new one. Having a mixed Dole Whip isn't necessarily an issue but they should've said something. read more

Great service and great food. We had the teriyaki chicken plate lunch and it was delicious! Creamy macaroni salad, great flavor to the teriyaki chicken. Plus they did not skimp on the chicken! Definitely will be returning here read more
