It's run by Highway Inn so iykyk their Hawaiian food will be ono. The decor is adorable! It gives plantation home vibes with a corner for the Keiki to play and be distracted while waiting for the food. The menu isn't extensive compared to their sister restaurants but they have options from kalua pig to poke bowls to S&S saimin. I ordered the Hawaiian plate for about $19, which comes with potato mac/lomi/greens, rice, kalua pig, haupia, and sweet potato. It's beautifully presented in a paper box. Their kalua pig for those not familiar is a smoked pulled pork, lightly salted. Really good! The crossaint sandwich my MIL ordered came with a few thick slices of ham, cheese, veg, and Maui onion chips. Bigger than expected! Tried the spam Musubi kids meal too $8.99. Comes with a Musubi, cutie orange, and oatmeal cookie, and juice. The kids enjoyed it. Appreciate they also offer hot dog and other kids options. Overall, super cute decor. Good food. Wish they had a few more options on the permanent menu, though will check out the rotating specials.

If you have a toddler or young kids but don't like dining out as it can be a little stressful with…read moreyoung kids, then Tutu's Place is a must!! Located at the Bishop Museum (you don't have to pay for entry if you just want to eat here), they serve Hawaiian/local food (by Highway Inn) and kid friendly meals. I love coming here because they have a little play area with dress up clothes, a kitchen and other toys visible from the dining tables which makes it easy to supervise your child/children. My daughter loves the play area and I can enjoy my meal in peace (sort of) lol. So far I've had their sourdough tuna melt with tater puffs (tater tots), their flatbreads and shave ice. I'll have to try their Hawaiian Plate next. I also love that they have coffee and they use Pono Potions syrup!! So for all you parents out there who need their caffeine fix, they got you covered. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. Only downside is they close at 3:30 pm. Parking is available at the Bishop Museum or street park for free!

I also appreciated that a drink is included with admission, and they offer treats for purchase so you can get the kitties to come up to you. None of the cats were particularly affectionate during my visit, which is a first for me at a cat cafe... The kitties seemed to be picked more for their beautiful looks instead of loving temperaments, but I still loved to hang out with them. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience overall. If you're a cat lover looking for a peaceful break I the mall, it's a nice stop!

They offer one free drink and you can buy cat treats if you want to interact with the cats more. All the cats are pretty chill and friendly and they all have super soft fur. The staff is very nice and the cats see well taken care of. They have no touch zones (safe spots) for the cats they can retreat to. And if they are not feeling the vibe I have seen workers take cats to the back to chill in peace. Highly recommend if you are looking to kill some time and pet some fluffy cute cats. You can choose 30 minutes or an hour.

They have a great mission: They team up with the Hawaiian Humane Society to showcase cats and kittens that are available for adoption, and if you are vetted and selected, you can take your chosen cat(s) home for their new life with you! Even if you're not in the market for a new companion, you can go to the Café, get a coffee or Italian soda, eat a scone, and pet adorable cats. There's always a nice rotating mixture of frisky kittens and older cats, and some are napping while others are playing. There are toys in the room where the cats are so you can interact with them. I always recommend reservations but you can walk in and see if there are spots available. You get lots of time to interact with the cats and it's usually not packed so there's room to interact with multiple kitties. Please check it out--it's such a good cause!

The price is also very affordable compared to other cat cafes. Reservations are recommended. I really like that the visit time is an hour instead of 30 minutes like some other places that charge double the price, which is honestly kind of crazy. I came with my daughter and it was $31 total for an hour of playing with the cats, which I think is totally worth it. They also have a cafe, which adds a nice touch to the experience.

A Persian sits on a velvet throne, Feeling more hollow than a sun-bleached bone, He's got the lineage, he's got the fur, But don't you dare expect a purr. [Chorus] Dead inside, dead inside.

This rapidly growing, veteran-owned business is really taking off! (Pray excuse the Air Force…read moreflight-themed pun) The young owner (whom I met years ago) started out with one truck parked over at the Hickam BX. He now has additional trucks and several kiosks/brick & mortar locations across all the major military installations on Oahu. From Schofield Barracks, to the Pearl Harbor NEX, to the AMC Pax Terminal, and several other sites, it appears he has found a successful marketing and branding strategy. His latest addition is the coffee shop "grotto" on the ground floor of Bldg 1102, where the old Green Bean Coffee franchise used to be. While Green Bean Coffee was a victim of the economic/political impacts caused by COVID, we hope that Drive Thru Joe flourishes for a long time. Here's why I appreciate DTJ: - You order a small coffee and you receive a medium... at the cost of the small! - They have Keto-friendly protein foodstuffs like eggs - Super friendly - Specials and discounts daily - Military themed board of fare - Faster throughput, and reduced interval queuing ("IE-speak" meaning the line now moves faster because they've refined processes and procedures.... When Green Bean was operating there, the line would snake clear around a quarter of the hallway) Spartan decor but the coffee is superb and the food is quite good. No need to spend money on fancy frills when it's a fast turn on serving customers and high quality food & coffee that's important. Mahalo for reading my review.

We drove by and noticed this place and gave the number a ring via Google, and we were able to get an appointment on short notice. The owner came out with a little money, as he was even generous enough to pay for my parking. We tried the dole whip and the other treats that they offered and all of them were delicious. You can tell that the owners are really passionate about cats and kittens, and they really care about customer service. There is a lot of thought and energy that has been put into this place. The cats were all friendly but remember they are still cats so they have claws. If anything, some just wanted to play and were a little more assertive about it :) I was so delighted with the experience that I made a voluntary donation for $100. Covid has destroyed a lot of small businesses and I would hate to see this one go even though I am from California. Thank you Kitty Cafe! Hope I visit again soon.

My fiance and I like to call ourselves cat lounge connoisseurs. Just jokes- that's just me, in my…read moreown head calling myself that. But we do visit cat cafes/lounges more often than not. We go to the two in town once every few months, and enjoy the wide range of cats and kitten alike. Rebekah L. introduced us to this new kitty cafe early late last month, however with our schedules and the busy-ness of this lounge, we were only able to schedule a visit this past weekend. So we loaded up, and drove to meet Rebekah in not-so-small Kailua Town. We lucked out on street parking and met up with our friend to walk into the most kitschy kitty place of our dreams. Literally. The waiting area was decorated with cat posters and comfy chairs to wait for check in. The most impressive part was the huge cat tiki that commanded attention as soon as walking in. One of the cat owners, Heather, advised that the statue was commissioned and the work was so beautifully done it had me wondering if I wanted a cat tiki in my apartment.. After check in, we were directed to the snacks for purchase before entering the 'cat room'. We opted for both treats, and it would be brought into the cat room after it was made. The dole whip was delicious and such a generous portion too. We also tried the acai bowl for 'research purposes' and I was shocked to learn in was vegan. The acai bowl sweetness wasn't overpowering as it sometimes can be, and the granola had a nice crunch to it. So far this kitten lounge has my favorite snacks- definitely blew the previous bean water and tea out of the water. The nicest touch (in my opinion) was that the owner also directed us where the bathroom was before starting our cat adventure. It was a very nice touch as many places do not offer bathrooms, especially cat lounges. We sanitized our hands and walked into the cat area. There was a main cat area, currently decorated in the tiki/Old Hawaii style with tiny grass huts and aloha shirt cats framing the walls. One thing I was surprised and delighted to discover was that there was multiple cat rooms! To the left of the main room, there was two smaller rooms, decorated 'cat' themed as well, with Chinese Cat Paw wallpaper and cat trees and toys all over. There was 'human' seating room all over the place, and the different rooms allowed much more space and time with cats than it would have been with just one big room. There was enough hiding space for the kittens to chill out for a nap. However they were relentless in their playing and just general 'kitten-ness' that there wasn't much napping when we were there. We currently have a soon to be three year old cat, and have been on the hunt for a possible candidate for our shy guy. One thing I didn't notice beforehand (in my excitement for cats) was that the lounge was only meant for kittens, and not cats of all ages. It didn't take away from my experience at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. My fiancé ended up falling for a cute tiny kitten named Kona, however it wasn't meant to be and we didn't end up adopting her. After our hour was up, we said a heartful goodbye to the kittens and the Owners, and left feeling much more relaxed than when we came in. We will be adding Aloha Kitty Cafe into our roster of cat lounges to visit and cannot wait for our next kitty play date!
