    Cute cafe. Coffee and a croissant were exactly what I was looking for and would def recommend this cafe. Coffee was fresh and croissant was fresh and flaky. Give this place a try. Guy who took our order was friendly and professional.

    Attended a class in the hotel and we would stop here for some quick coffee to go. It's a cute little cafe at the bottom of the Outrigger by Alana hotel, their breakfast french toast and burritos and avocado toast looked yummy!

    ***Located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton*** This cafe was awesome !!!! Straight off the bat ... the owner was sooo hospitable and so helpful in helping me pick ... LOVE LOVE LOVE the uniqueness in their menu ... I enjoy not to have to pick what to put in my drink .. I just want something that is pre done and recommended ... With that said did the coconut mocha and if you enjoy the taste of coconut milk this is your drink ... The surfers soufflé was a take on French toast .. very delicious .... Recommended for sure

    Summit Acai Bowl (gluten free)

    Fabulous gluten free açai bowl. The server subbed the granola for sliced almonds. Highly recommend!

    Spinach bagel

    I came here on my way to the airport. Tourist area, hotel building - I wasn't expecting much from this place. I was so wrong! My husband and I had a spinach bagel and breakfast burrito. So delicious! French ingredients, freshly made. Place was clean, friendly staff. Strongly recommend this place!

    Look how thick that bread is!!

    Holy moly! The Surfers Soufflé was freaking amazing. Hands down the best meal of our vacation. Only wish we would have discovered it sooner so we could have dined there more than once.

    Came here for breakfast before heading out of town. Very welcoming staff. Helpful with choosing menu items. Decor is pleasant. Food was delicious!

    We've explored so many spots in HNL over the decades of loving the area. One particular restaurant that we have come back to year after year is Hiking Hawaii Cafe. Its close walking distance proximity to the Hilton Hawaiian Village is so convenient for a great meal away from the resort. One of the big reasons we have loved Hiking Hawaii is its wide variety of offerings for all tastes and appetites. From bowls to pizza to wraps and salads, HH has got you covered. Every single item that we've tried has been so reliably delicious. My kids particularly love the bagel sandwiches and other breakfast offerings. And one of the most amazing breakfast items is the Surfer's Souffle. This is like french toast on steroids! It is simply amazing and a must try. And let's not forget that HH also excels at smoothies and a whole variety of hot & cold drinks. I personally love the Mexican Hot Choco Latte! All of the tasty goodness offered by HH is further complemented by truly amazing hospitality from the owner Matt down to all of his staff. We simply feel so welcomed at Hiking Hawaii Cafe. And because of this, we will always be coming back here!

    I first stopped in here earlier on my vacation to grab a coffee after my morning workout and fell in love with the coffee it was delicious and affordable. Today we came in to try their breakfast and it was so worth it. The service is super friendly (except for not giving me the French Toast Recipe ). I love the casual vibe of taking it easy. I'm going to miss this small slice of heaven tucked downstairs from the Double Tree).

    Green bowl and Summit bowl

    My fellow Vegan Yelpers... UPDATE!!! Whomever said there are Vegan options, probably meant Vegetarian, because other than the acai bowls and smothies, there was nothing offered or suggestions given for vegan offerings. They can definitely help you with hiking information... but we we really wanted some ono vegan food... at least the refreshing vegan-friendly acai bows and great granola were available... on the pricy side though! Afterwards, we went looking for something warm and savory!

    Hand comparison of the generous amount of granola they give with the acai bowl!

    Well, I'm back in town for a conference, and came back to one of our favorite places to eat-- Hiking hawaii cafe! I have been here 3x on this visit 2025, and have ordered their Napa panini, summit acai bowl, coco mocha coffee, and smoothies. This time I ordered their Napa panini, and acai with the granola on the side. I really love the flavor of the granola and just the purity of the acai when eaten separately. They are all very friendly, and the food waiting time was fine. (They have a sign saying if you are in a hurry, you might want to look elsewhere because they prepare their food as they are ordered.) I love this place and love coming back for more! Ambiance is cute, and DJ music is great. (Today I heard Drift Away in a reggae beat. Loved it!) Oh and lastly, the acai bowls are generous in size (see photos with my hand for comparison) and although the paninis might look small, they are quite filling!

    From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt like pure aloha -- warm smiles, island charm and good vibes. Whatever you are in the mood for (coffee, muffins, wraps, pizza, smoothies, fresh fruit, quick snacks)...it's all here. The staff made the experience even better -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. I loved that they use fresh, local ingredients, which makes every bite taste like Hawaii itself. If you're in the area, don't miss this gem. It's the kind of place you want to come back to.

    I got the street corn burrito and the tropical smoothie and both were FIRE!!! So good and the customer service was really great. I love this place and highly recommend it.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws. Eyes always bigger than my stomach, we ordered: - Cornbread - when i grabbed it I thought would be super dense but really wasn't. I thought it was very corny and tasty. Lightly toasted. Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open. Bathrooms are not assigned which I'm sure can get gross, but is great to not have to wait for just the women's. There is a big stall which was perf since baby is potty training and had to go #1 and #2! Only thing missing was a hook to hang my purse and her bag.

We ordered drinks and took around 15 mins to come, then we looked for our server to order our food. The appetizers cane out in a timely manner but our entrees took quite a while. The Duck Confit was yummy! I thought the duck was going to be super dry, but when you eat it with the jam that came with it, it's very good. I requested for a little bit more of the jam but was given just balsamic glaze... My friend said her scallop risotto was watery and not the same as the last time she went. My bfs prime rib was okay. Bone marrow was okay. The chicken pasta, octopus appetizer, salad, and mac n cheese were lacking flavor and tasted okay. I would recommend dining here if you do not have plans after.

    I honestly don't understand the hype surrounding this place, the reality is completely misleading…read more I called 15 minutes ahead to place an order. The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off. Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

In the meantime I ordered an iced coffee (which was delicious!!!!) and sat down and watched folks come and go. This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.

Trust me. Get their jelly to go as well (by the pastries). Kitchen messed up our order. We got kimchi fried rice instead of the garlic but it was quickly fixed! Definitely get SPAM as your meat. It's quintessentially Hawai'i. For dessert, grab a coco puff or chocolate cream puff (or two, or three...) for to-go. Their other desserts are quite as exciting, imo. Overall, I think their breakfast is the best bet and their fried rice is also great. Huge bowls of saimin as well. Where they get iffy is lunch/dinner like fried chicken, prime rib, etc. They do make a good (and HUGE) BLT on a croissant. Can't miss this! In between East and westbound Nimitz next to Tokyo Joe's steakhouse. Parking is around all four sides of the building but can be hard to find a space during busy hours (9-11am).

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.
