    Ham & cheese croissant

    Food was good! A bit pricey but if you think about supporting local.... But not a place I can go all the time. So 4 stars. Good for girls get together brunch or something. The signature potatoes were good, salt & rosemary flavor. We didn't get any sauce but it had enough flavor, crunchy outside & soft inside. Ham & cheese croissant was ok but a bit on the salty side. Salmon bagel (special? It was on the wall, not on the menu) was good, mild flavor and easy to eat. I think I liked this more than the croissant. Açaí bowl (plain), was normally good, probably this is the only cost friendly of the things we ordered. My friend said their signature coffee was good and she had refill (with extra charge). I had the moroccan mint tea cold, came in mason jar, not sweet, nice mint flavored tea. Valet parking in the premises $2/hr. It's convenient but we waited about 5-10 min for the car to come out of the elevator garage, we were the only one waiting.

    Special: cured salmon on bagel

    How have I never reviewed this place?!? I guess I always take photos and enjoy my food that I forget to. The restaurant is really cute. Check the hours as I think it's primary a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. The food and coffee is always good here. You should make reservations though as they do get crowded (at least on Saturdays). A MUST is to always ask what the specials are. There is a gypsy egg dish that is simply delicious - it's like an amplified version of shakshuka - sooo tasty! I also always enjoy their cured salmon. The quiche is also very good. We had this other dish (see pics) with gravy and mushrooms, it is very good but you need to order this ahead of time (when you call to make the reservation and even at that, it may not be available). We typically park on the street in the metered parking area. I believe the building does have parking, but we've never parked there.

    Food: delicious blue cheese on the gourmet burger. Beignets were so fresh and fluffy but also VERY messy. Save your $3 on the chocolate sauce as it was nothing super special. Service: at first not good. The second the real boss came in (chef) he turned that shop around. I guess you can make reservations but a family next to us said they couldn't even make one. So I guess it's an option but not a viable one. Ambiance: cute cobbler esthetic but the tables are VERY small. Won't be coming here to dine in again but take away is an option.

    The food was amazing and service was good. The ambiance was excellent and I loved the decor. I recommend trying the ketchup with the potato. The amount is very small for the price and you may need two depending on how much you use. The crepe forestiere was also good.

    Potato Mille feule
    Sherrie K.

    Love the Mille fille potatoes-- crispy on the outside and soft and billowy on the inside. Perfect and just the way a potato should be served! I hear this is an English staple and not hard to make, but when done right absolutely delicious. Here it's served with your choice of different sauces, including harissa, homemade ketchup or Demi glaze. This is a must try. The ham and cheese croissant was just as expected... Layers of delicious salty ham smothered between cheese and served crispy and hot. Simple breakfast well done. Good coffee too! Street parking is best.

    Gourmet burger and crepe forestier

    Food was creative, the taste was just alright. The crepe was pretty burnt throughout the entire bottom (burnt + arugula is not a very good taste). Burger was alright there was pretty minimal toppings and it was a bit on the drier side...so maybe I should've used the gravy more; they said I could switch bleu cheese to cheddar, but they ended up giving me bleu cheese. We didn't say anything though...didn't want to wait another 30 mins for food. The potato mille-fiuelle was good though! $20 is pretty steep for it as an appetizer on its own, but I got it as part of the burger, so that was nice. Our food took over 30 mins to come out but the table besides us had it worse...they easily waited at least an hour (they had to follow up to see if their order was still coming...since people like us had gone from waiting for a table to getting food before they even got appetizers). The front of house didn't seem understaffed (3 waitresses for less than a dozen indoor/outdoor tables, and they were all very nice) but maybe the kitchen was For $50+ for two dishes not including tax and tip, I would not really recommend this place to anyone...

    Wow, what an incredible place. The staff is so accommodating and polite. The restaurant is modern yet cozy and relaxing. The food was incredible all around. We had the Crepe Forestiere, Ham and Cheese Croissant, Potato Millie Fueille, Farmhouse Salad, Sausage dish. All foods were flavorful and fresh. Incredible experience. Will be back soon!

    I came here for an acai bowl. Whenever I visit Honolulu, I like to try a new acai place, so I came here with a friend. The staff was very friendly. The place was lively with both locals and tourists. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Ala Moana Shopping Center, so the location isn't very convenient for tourists. Rating: -Taste: 3/5 (average) -Portion size: 4/5 (just right) -Price: around $16 -Seating: 4/5 (comfortable indoor seating) -Location: 2/5 (a bit far for tourists) -Service: 5/5 (very friendly and helpful) Overall: 3.5/5 - Decent acai with excellent service, but the location makes it slightly inconvenient for visitors.

    "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." - Coco Chanel This place had me on an emotional roller coaster! Farmhouse Cafe was a high and low foodie experience and it's not that time of the month for moi! Probably living in Japan has my standards up, but a simple greeting would be nice, right? My twin, really my best lady friend, wanted to treat me to brunch after my disappearing act in Asia. I wanted someplace easy to go to with good reviews. Farmhouse Cafe near Ala Moana Mall in the 808 building on Sheridan was my choice. Upon entering we were... eh, ngl we were not greeted and completely ignored. Alpha me could not just stand there, so after a few minutes, I looked at my twin and asked if she was up to going elsewhere. Instead she calmed me down and came to the conclusion they were understaffed. I didn't see it that way, I just saw inefficiency and zero common sense, so I decided to approach the counter even though a sign says to "Wait to be Seated". Ok, no problem waiting as long as someone greets us and tells us to wait! The lady at the counter next says to "just wait" huh? Hmm we are waiting, just acknowledge us or explain your waiting system. Jeezuz! I have low tolerance for people that won't admit mistakes or plain ignorant. So as we are waiting, the chef, Zouhair Zairi, approaches us and says to wait outside. I'm no stranger to French cuisine bro, so calm down and... and then he apologizes and explains how they are short staffed. Ah! I was tempted debating efficiency, politeness, but instead bit my tongue knowing my twin wanted to eat here. Besides she was right on they being understaffed. Oh nvm we are finally seated lol! We are handed the menus (finally) and explained to order the food and drinks at the same time by the chef! So odd, but having experienced French restaurants in the non touristy parts of Paris, I finally admitted to myself he wasn't intentionally being rude. All the time my twin only cared about what to drink lol! Let's ignore the chaos. Oui, oui! Wagyu Burger with Bleu Cheese, Demi-glace & Potato Mille-Feuille for the lady. Mediterranean Omelette with Feta, Potato Mille-Feuille, Buttered Toast with Fruit Jam for the gent. Two Hibiscus Iced Teas. French Beignets with Strawberry dip ordered for take-out. So let's talk the cuisine! If we're only reviewing the cuisine I'd be at 4-5 stars it was delicious! Everything organic, fresh, and tasty. I could taste the French in every bite and we were truly satisfied! To me, the Beignets that we shared afterwards was the star! In the end, it may have started with bad juju and my patience being tested, but fortunately I was with a kind soul that reminded me (& treated me sigh) that it may not be as it seems per se. Yes, they were understaffed, but in my eyes the three employees were sufficient if it flowed properly. Then again, we never know what's truly going on, right? In fairness, I need to mention others coming in after us were also confused and not welcomed from the start, so a universal meh. I'd return simply for the delicious cuisine by Chef Zairi, however take note that the ebb and flow of any business is just as important, especially with other $27 burger options out there! Au revoir!

    Breakfast croissant was good but nothing special. Had to pay extra for the egg
    Rebecca T.

    A cute breakfast brunch spot when I walked it. It's located in the 808 plaza along with a bunch of other eateries across from Walmart. I came here to try their burger coz it looked amazing in the photos. I also tried their beignets and the breakfast sandwich. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich with the flattened croissant. It's your typical breakfast croissant that's on the oily side, nothing exceptional. The much anticipated burger however was too salty for my taste. I had to remove some of the spread as it's just more salt from the salted patty already. The meat quality was decent but honestly when the food was so salty, it wasn't enjoyable at all. The Mille-feuille potato was interesting, but it added a lot of grease to the already greasy burger. I only enjoyed the outer crispy part. The insides tasted just like regular potato. Also, it's definitely not worth $27 for this plate. The beignets looked off. The texture was way too soft. It wasn't worth the calories. Service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance was nice. However, the taste and the value would deter me from coming back.

    Organic from scratch recipes!

    Order any of the french style pastries. They are really good. The COFFEE...soooo good. They serve great coffee!!! Smooth, low acidity, just great on the palate.

    Ham and Cheese Croissant
    Val K.

    I met up with some of girls at this cute little cafe on Sheridan. The Cafe is located in the 808 Center so if you are not familiar with the Center make sure you use the GPS to take you to the parking garage since you have to enter from Sheridan. The set up is very casual and open. It was pretty much packed when we came so service was a little slow and they appeared to need more help. I tried the Ham & Cheese Croissant which was perfect. The croissant was crisp on the outside and soft inside, so buttery and delicious. I also tried my friend's Crepe Forestiere which was even better. That will definitely be my pick next time as it was loaded with arugula and delicious wild mushrooms and cheese. The four of us shared an order of the Beignets with strawberry jam. Wow, I haven't had a perfect warm, crisp, tasty beignet in a while and it was heavenly. I think I would go back and eat the whole order myself next time. We also were treated to the Chef's special baked goods of the day and they were so yummy too. I am looking forward to my next visit!

    Greek omelette with rye toast and jam
    Tina M.

    Came here when we were in town for my baby's 3 month check-up appt. This has been on my go-to list for quite sometime. Parking is challenging, although it is advertised as parking lot, and valet, the valet guy told us it's only valet. They also advertise outside seating. There was a tiny table and 2 small chairs on a small lanai in front of the restaurant right next to the street. I wouldn't really call that outdoor seating. I was expecting a few tables under a nice covered area. Something cute like the cafe. The cafe inside was cute and homey. Food: I wanted something sweet and spicy so I ordered the banana crepes and the Mediterranean omelette. Both were delicious. The banana crepes are a big portion size so they are great for sharing. A little messy too! The omelette was good, it was a decent size and wasn't overstuffed with things, I loved the feta cheese. My hubby ordered the croque monsieur. It had a nice presentation. He enjoyed it and especially liked the mornay sauce. Next time I would like to try their potato Mille-feuille and beignets which is what they are known for. Chef ZZ was friendly and came out to talk to us. We told him we were traveling to Japan and he said he loved it and that we will enjoy all the food! He was very friendly and down to earth.

    Heavenly potatoes.  OMG.

He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

France meets Italy - meets Hawaii. I'm still dreaming of this. The burger features a thick, juicy, 8-ounce grass-fed patty made from a custom house-selected blend of short rib, chuck roast, and brisket. Get it with the crispy potatoes. You will thank me. Risotto on point. Luxuriously rich, creamy texture. The rice retains a slight al dente bite in the center, giving it structure rather than letting it become mushy. Prosciutto adds a perfect salty, savory crunch to break up the rich risotto. The only misstep was the fries served with the quinoa burger. They were chalky, served at room temperature, limp, and underseasoned. Excellent friendly informal service. Park at the municipal parking on Bethel St just 1/2 block away. Happy Eating!!

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

    We were greeted right away by the manager upon checking in. I checked into their kiosk and received…read morea welcome text message. At the end of our lunch, we went to the bakery. I always enjoy browsing through the different types of pastries available. I highly recommend their raspberry jam. It is AMAZING! I always look forward to enjoying the complimentary butter roll and jam when dining in here. To me, It's the star of show. I've gone to Liliha Bakery probably four times now so the verdict is that I definitely love the place, I look forward to my next visit and I'm already dreaming of my next taste of their raspberry jam...

We walk in at 9:30. Wait at the host stand and watch workers look at us and quickly turn to look the other way. This happened with four workers. I walk up to a server putting in and order and say 'table for two please' she looks around and back at another workers and says 'sorry we close at 9:30' to which I quickly say 'I thought you close at 10?' 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.

    I had the chance to dine at Scratch Kitchen in Kapolei back in 2024 for a special Mother's Day…read morelunch with my youngest daughter. I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

    Stopped by Scratch Kitchen in Honolulu for brunch, and honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't packed. We…read morewent mid-morning on a weekday and the place was nearly empty--not sure if it was just good timing or an underrated gem. Either way, it made for a super relaxed experience with no wait and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the food. Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    I know this is a revered institution, but our visit just wasn't very good. We went for breakfast:…read morethe pancakes were good, but the American Breakfast wasn't, and the potatoes were undercooked with a flavor that was almost too earthy. The pastries were just okay; we tried a few cake slices that were fine but unremarkable. The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
