    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.

Which makes this review frustrating to write. The rice is exceptional. The sourcing is thoughtful, the seasonal varieties are genuinely special and if you care about Japanese rice, this place deserves its reputation. The service does not. On my latest visit I walked in with my family, including my two and four year old. If you've ever shopped with kids that age, you know you're already working overtime keeping little hands off displays, making sure nothing gets broken, trying to be respectful of the space. Not once did anyone greet us. No hello. No welcome. No acknowledgment that we'd even walked through the door. When I asked what I thought was a perfectly reasonable question whether I should buy the limited seasonal rice or the variety I'd enjoyed on a previous visit the answer felt dismissive, almost like I was wasting their time. If you're building a business around expertise, helping customers understand the differences shouldn't feel like pulling teeth. That's the entire point of having knowledgeable staff. Yes, the parking is inconvenient. Yes, the prices are premium. I can live with both because the product is genuinely excellent. What I can't understand is why a store built around craftsmanship seems so indifferent to hospitality. I still bought the rice because it's that good. But I left feeling like my business was expected, not appreciated. I sincerely hope they improve because I'd rather support them than look elsewhere. But if another shop opens with rice of this quality and people who simply smile, say hello and take a minute to help customers make a decision, I'll switch without thinking twice. The rice earns five stars. The experience earns one.

In addition, they offer local favorites like li-hing gummy bears and assorted flavored sembei, giving you plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from. The employee at the register was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily sharing information about the different mochi flavors and offerings. Most importantly, the mochi here is absolutely delicious. During this visit, we ordered a Girls' Day pack and tried the chocolate ganache Oreo flavor which was amazing. The mochi was perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the rich chocolate ganache filling. My friend loved it so much that she went back the very next day to order more! If you love mochi, you really need to stop by. I highly recommended this shop.

She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

    This is my man's favorite place for Korean BBQ. It's your typical local Korean food, except their…read moreportions are quite generous! I always end up ordering the Peppa's Special, which is basically a mixed plate. You have the option of including rice or not. If out opt out of rice, you get an extra vegetable side! If I already have rice at home, I usually do this option. Speaking of vegetables, they have a good variety! If you go closer to closing time, it's very limited though since they seem to stop prepping. Peppas is located in Makiki, across the parking lot from Paula's Sports Cards, Etc.

    Peppas Korean BBQ has been a favorite in our family for many years. Located in the McCully…read moreMarketplace and fronting Wilder avenue. There is always a small crowd waiting to order or for their food. Doesn't matter the time of day, there are always people! Wait is not long tho as the counter persons keep the line moving. And I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for my food to be cooked and served! Is this favorite place to sit and enjoy a meal...no. But it is one of my all time favorites for takeout after a long day. Service is always friendly. Portions are generous. Taste is on point. I can easily enjoy a plate for two or three meals. With the food being so tasty, I definitely dont mind! Favorites are the "yummie special" or the meat jun or seaweed soup. Entrees preferred with no rice which allows for an additional side of banchan. Yes please! Thank you Peppa's for consistently feeding the masses..!

    What can I say? Every time I visit Hawaii, stopping by Foodland to pick up a Poke bowl is a MUST!…read moreThere's often times a line waiting for your number to be called, but it's all part of the fun and anticipation. The staff is super duper friendly, and happy to let you sample before committing to which poke(s) you want to order. Let's be honest, they all taste phenomenal and super fresh. Truly one of my favorite grocery stores ever. They have everything you need here. Hot food bar, cold food bar, snacks, drinks, essentials... and of course Aloha vibes.

    I don't normally go to Foodland as I prefer poke from other places but I had to go to get Asato's!…read moreI got the strawberry and lychee flavors and they are sooo good. It's convenient to be able to pick up asato's there instead of go to their Pali location and sadly their Waikīkī location doesn't sell pints. The pickled lihing lychee flavor was the but I resisted as I more of a purest. My husband also fought his demons as he wanted the green river flavor. But the lychee was so good! Strawberry too! Asato's must be wizards because tell me how it's frozen yet remains light and soft (straight out of the freezer!) If you're ever there, go check um go! I'm only rating it 3 stars because traffic and parking are terrible and it's so crowded in the store. But I did get their Kara-oke chicken with miso shoyu (?) sauce. It was crispy and plentiful but I wouldn't describe it as delicious or craveable so I wouldn't order it again when I go back to get my asato's.

    Absolutely loved the chicken katsu omakase at J Shop. The whole experience felt thoughtful,…read moreelevated, and still comforting in that way only really great Japanese-inspired food can be. The chicken katsu was the star -- perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. What made it even better was the omakase presentation, where each course felt intentional and paced well, making the meal feel special from start to finish. Everything came together beautifully with great flavor, texture, and attention to detail. Service was friendly and the overall vibe made it feel like a fun, memorable dining experience rather than just another meal. Definitely a place I'd return to and recommend to anyone who appreciates a creative take on katsu done really well.

    Who knew? By day,…read moreJ-Shop is a retail store selling imported fresh produce, meats and fish from Japan (tip- Thursdays are fresh fish delivery day) By night- an Izakaya serving great 'FRESH" food made upon order. And the price? Well, it's priced right! Seats about 12 people TOTAL. I might be shooting myself in the foot by revealing what I consider to be a great kept secret! OR. I must have been living under a rock NOT to have known about this place. (OK, I've been to the market during the day but never knew about the night time activities). I will caution the food takes time to get prepared so be on top of your order or it may get lost in the shuffle (or lost in sake) It's BYOB and like other izakaya with BYOB policy; be sure you bring some adult beverage for the chef and his workers. Sashimi Omakase? The best!
