I accidentally stumbled upon Island Vintage Wine Bar, and somehow it has become my spot in Honolulu. I came in on a whim my first night, loved it so much that I came back for a second night, and I'm already planning to come back tomorrow for my third -- and final -- night in Hawaii. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for sitting down with a glass (or a few tastings ) and just enjoying the evening. I'm traveling solo, and I especially appreciate how comfortable it feels to come here by yourself. You can unwind, people-watch, try different wines, and never feel out of place. Sometimes the best places are the ones you find completely by accident. I definitely wasn't planning on becoming a regular during one short trip to Honolulu, but here we are. If I come somewhere three nights in a row while on vacation, that probably tells you everything you need to know. Definitely a place I'll remember -- and come back to the next time I'm in Hawaii. read more

Excellent as always! We decided to come here instead of standing in line at the coffee shop, and it turned out to be a great decision. We were seated pretty quickly, and sitting at the bar helped speed things up even more. The food was fantastic. I had the Affogato with Coconut Ice Cream, which was delicious, along with the Keto Braised Beef Loco Moco--also excellent. The Cauliflower Truffled Risotto was a nice change and a great complement to the meal. Ambiance was nice and modern. Very clean. Overall, another great experience. We'll definitely be coming back, especially to pick up some coffee for a friend! read more

Came for breakfast - they have the same menu as the coffee shop next door with much less of a wait, though the coffee drinks do come from there (and took forever). My mom and I only waited about 15 mins for a table. Iced island latte, yogurt and papaya, and breakfast ulu were all yummy. read more

Came here for a Saturday morning breakfast and were able to get a seat in the back quite quickly. Our waiter John was very attentive and helpful in the midst of the morning rush. It definitely appears to be a favorite because there never seemed to be a lull in traffic in and out of the restaurant. Loved the wall of greens that we sat next too - very tropical vibe! The food was a huge hit with my family - although my veggie bowl was quite mediocre. But the potatoes Definitely worth a try! read more

Great selection of fresh food with awesome basic desserts with a twist such as mochi banana bread, unique flavored cookies and amazing flavored coffees! The salads are also great. Bonus, you can also grab wine! Definitely recommend and will be back whenever I am in town. read more

I've been obsessed with Island Vintage Acai bowls and coffee for years, so when I saw the wine bar in Waikiki--I had to try it. I knew it would be a treat, but had no idea how good it would be! I got the Lilikoi Mimosa and the Island Fish Kale Caesar Salad. It was both, the best mimosa I have EVER had in my life, and the best Kale Salad I've ever had in my life. I always compared the Kale Salad at Rutherford Grill in Napa to all other ones, and this one stomps it out of the universe. No doubts. If you have a chance to try either of these while visiting in Honolulu, please do. You'll be grateful. read more

Updating my review to 3 stars because they forgot my latte when we had breakfast there on 7/24/2026. I had to take it to go as we wanted a quick breakfast before heading to the airport. The restaurant was more crowded that day compared to our first visit earlier in the week. I would recommend coming earlier in the week for better service. read more

Island Vintage Wine Bar - Pandan latte & mushroom brioche - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I popped into Island Vintage Wine Bar while out shopping in Waikiki. It was recommended on an Eater list and I was close by which is why I gave it a try. It's located upstairs in an outdoor mall, near its sister Island Vintage Coffee Shop. Seats were limited during lunch, so I grabbed a spot at the bar. The bartender brought me a menu quickly and checked about two minutes later to see if I was ready to order. I ordered a glass of rose that arrived in a decent amount of time, but then it took me another ten minutes to get the bartender's attention so I could order. The menu is extensive. I opted for the Ahi Burger which turned out not to be a burger (ground meat) at all but several smaller, low quality pieces of ahi that were overcooked. The sandwich came with a side salad with pistachio and pineapple. The salad was the highlight of the meal. Something in this meal made me feel miserable for several hours that afternoon. It was like a brick in my stomach. Trying to get my check post meal was also a lesson in patience. To sum it up, Island Vintage Wine Bar will not be on must visit again list. read more

I've been to island vintage coffee many times. They have a number of unique drinks, but nothing that's ever blown me away, to be honest. This was my first time going to Island Vintage Wine Bar which has the same menu. The restaurant is really cute; I love the natural wood tones and overall aesthetic. We got an island style plate which I highly recommend. Delicious Portuguese sausage, rice, eggs, and asparagus. The salad dressing was amazing and the papaya was an excellent sweet end to the meal. The perfect balance of sweet and savory overall. The wagyu loco moco was hearty and flavorful. As far as loco mocos go, it was excellent. But the winner was certainly the island style plate. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend for a brunch in Waikiki. read more

My vegan breakfast sandwich was good, but since it comes with gluten-free bread it fell apart on the second bite and I had a sandwich salad. The service was very slow and the restaurant was a mess, though. At least 10 birds flew in, landed on tables, etc. during my meal, the bartenders splashed water everywhere constantly so I couldn't work on my laptop, and the surfaces were dirty. read more

We went to Island Vintage for our brunch and dinner in the same day and it exceeded our expectations. Shoutout to Ben A. And John G. who took care of us and gave us outstanding service.We truly loved their aloha spirit and recommendations!!! The braised beef loco moco was rich and savory, exactly what you want after a long day out. The Hawaiian chili cucumber poke was so fresh with a little kick to it. For drinks we also had the frozen lava chocolate and a matcha with strawberry which satisfied our cravings. We finished with the coconut acai bowl and that was probably my favorite thing we ordered. Food and service were good no matter when we showed up, which is why we plan on coming back again. Worth a stop if you're around the area and we will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Island Vintage Wine Bar - Haupia (Coconut) Açaí Bowl - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We visited here twice on our recent trip to Oahu! We usually go next door to Island Vintage Coffee for breakfast and end up battling the crowds for a table. Here, though, you're actually seated and can order directly from a menu, which makes the experience so much more relaxing. And yes, you can even have breakfast for dinner! On our first visit, we stopped by for a late-night dessert and shared the haupia açaí bowl. The second time, my husband ordered the garlic shrimp plate and said it was even better than the ones we had on the North Shore. I went with a breakfast plate because I love their toast and jam, and it did not disappoint. They also serve alcohol here, along with entrees like pasta dishes that you won't typically find next door at Island Vintage Coffee. Prices are a couple of dollars higher, but for the service, comfort, and quality especially while on vacation I think it's absolutely worth it. read more

I always love a visit to Island Vintage. I usually stick to açaí bowls, but with such wide menu, I tried something new. I had the wagyu cheese burger. It was really good. The portion is a solid size considering it comes with both a salad and fries. While it was busy, my party came without a reservation, but was able to immediately get seated at the bar. Staff wasn't completely helpful when tackling the menu, but I still was happy with what I ordered. Parking is validated through the Royal Hawaiian Center Parking Garage with minimum $25 purchase.

What does this place NOT do well in...from coffees to food. Everything here is pure perfection. We come to Waikiki yearly and always come here. I do not care how touristy this place is. The food is worth it every year. We love their coffee and food. We have flown their food back home to 9th Island aka LAS VEGAS. If this place opened in Vegas, this place would dominate. Hands down. I'll even invest!! My husband loves thier coffee here and how smooth it is. His go to is always a vanilla latte and I always get the island latte! My favorite açaí bowls are the original and liliko bowl. So refreshing! Filling as well! Our favorite food go to are the braised beef loco moco! Omg that beef is so tender! It like just melts in your mouth. We brought this to Vegas and even the next day- still delicious!! My husband doesn't really eat loco mocos but he definitely killed this when we got back! He's like oh wow this was from island vintage??? The portions are huge so it's worth the price. Sharing is caring. Another one we like and share as well is that turkey avocado panini! The best sandwich in Waikiki. Oh my...from the bread to the ingredients-so fresh! The sandwich is huge too! We ate this on our flight one year and we were so grateful we got it because it made business class food look horrible! Service is quick if you order online and pick up. We learned not to even go in line anymore lol. They really figured out thier system to accommodate more orders. They have a great system and great staff! So busy! read more

We went there twice while in Waikiki, once for happy hour and once for dinner. Both times, the food and wine were outstanding. The menu has some dishes that are local to Hawaii. Recommend the ahi spread and the Pork Baguette! read more

I came here unintentionally while standing in line for their coffee bar. The coffee bar line was barely moving and we noticed the restaurant right next door was not too busy. With the same exact menu, we decided to just dine in. I got their acai bowl and my fam got their avo toast and island plate (eggs, port sausage, rice, salad, fresh fruit). The service was okay, since they were busy it took a while to get our order. The ambiance is gorgeous though and I had no complaints waiting in paradise. The acai bowl was good and they put a lot of honey on top. The other two dishes were tasty. It is on the middle tier in terms of price, but I thought the presentation and portions were worth it. read more

We love coming here whenever we're in Honolulu. We opt to come here as opposed to the cafe next door bc seating is pretty quick. We came around 7:30ish on a Monday morning and immediately got seated. I got the hot hojicha, which comes pre sweetened bc it's a powder. It's always delicious! I got the keto braised beef loco moco and really enjoyed my meal! The truffle cauliflower risotto actually worked well w the dish overall. My husband got the island style plate and also ate it completely. We were stuffed until dinner time! The service was wonderful and they were very accommodating with our kid. Always a plus! read more

Great place to take out-of-town or out-of-country guests or even for a catch up or date night! Awesome service! The food itself is not out-of-this-world mind blowing (American food isn't my first choice for dinner lol) and prices are what you'd expect in Waikiki (though Kapolei isn't much better either), but my usual order at either this or the Kapolei location is the wagyu Swiss mushroom burger. The regular/sweet potato fries texture is bomb, too! I like the salad that comes with the burger and fries as well. Just like Island Vintage Coffee, you can order drinks, açaí bowls, and other small items, in addition to a separate wine bar menu! The service, wine bar offering, and chill, but elegant ambiance makes this a five-star experience! Backstory: our group heard last minute that our house dinner got cancelled, and so I had to find a last minute dinner reservation in Waikiki to treat our guests visiting Hawai'i for the first time! Most Waikiki restaurants on OpenTable either required a deposit or were poorly rated. Not Island Vintage Wine Bar! Our server was so helpful, patient, and kind throughout our dining experience as a party of 9. She even accepted our birthday cake from outside, stored it in their kitchen, and even loaned us a lighter for birthday candles! The wine offering is great. Island Vintage even caters to those who prefer sweet wines like one of our guests with a wine flight called the "Sweet Tooth Flight." So I think there are two general categories of diners--the foodies who prefer unique food at a hole in the wall like me (hence the four stars), or those who are really on a vacation and want something familiar, safe, and comfortable like my mom. I would not hesitate to bring my picky eating mom to Island Vintage Wine Bar!

Okay I crave this place all the time and always say why can't I have a chef to make me my smoothies and meals like they do when I visit Hawaii. I'm sure so many things are amazing on their menu but I go for the poke. The spicy poke is mixed with avocados served over a choice of rice I like the sprouted rice and so fresh and delicious. The smoothies are huge and all fresh fruit. This last trip I noticed they have a happy hour. They serve a charcuterie that is table length. Huge bang for your buck. The service is great the spot is relaxed and not fancy. Must try read more

This is my go to spot when I'm in Waikiki. Love getting my breakfast there. Can't go wrong on their menu- everything is delicious. Must try if you haven't. read more

I love love breakfast at Island Vintage. Not only is the coffee top tier, but they have items on the menu that are just as great. Food tastes fresh each time we eat here and if you get a breakfast platter with fresh halved papaya, the papaya is always ripe and sweet. You can expect a line when you arrive, but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

My one star is not about the service. Someone dropped the ball. I ordered the Large shrimp (that shrunk and was actually medium sized) with the salad. To my surprise, the head of the shrimp was on the shrimp thrown right onto my salad greens. I tried to separate them as I do not like the head and had I known, I would have never ordered it. I've been coming to Island Vintage for many many years almost weekly. I get the Mona kea next door and açaí typically. It's been a year since I got the shrimp salad. This WAS NOT the salad I have ordered for the past 11yrs. I was there with friends and something poked a part of the back of my throat area that I could not remove in public so I ended up taking it to go so I could see what was hurting my throat.. After spending 10 min just peeling the shrimp and removing the head with the parts all in my salad, I put the shrimp to the side and took a couple bites of the salad. A piece of the antenna or something poked into the back of my throat and was stuck, I couldn't finish my food till I got to my room after taking out what was stuck! We told the waiter and he said it's not the first time people have complained about it since they began putting the head attached and that the restaurant hasn't listened. So I suggested telling management myself to help the cause. The manager came over and was very nice! He thanked me for letting him know and that he didn't know it was ever served without the head. He said he's was new there..That was interesting to me since if you look at all the photos and reviews here, it's clearly without the head! He offered to take it away but I wasn't trying to get a refund. I wanted to eat it when I got to my room after removing what poked my throat and was stuck because I couldn't swallow and was afraid to. Plus I hadn't eaten any of the shrimp. My hands were filthy trying to get the head off. I got the bill and went along my way. I got to my room and once I cleared my throat I went through the salad and took a bite of the shrimp which I threw all 4 away after taking one bite. For one it was mushy which scared me and 2, it WAS NOT the shrimp that usually comes with this salad. They took the garlic butter shrimp they offer on their menu and threw it on my salad instead of the usual shrimp which had a different flavor that I loved for many years. My salad was supposed to have 4 large shrimps, if you look at my photo with just the shrimp left, and no head, those are medium and had garlic and butter all over them. Like saucy! Whatever it was it was not fresh! And it was NOT the shrimp they have always served this salad with. The shrimp this salad is served with usually is almost like a grilled butterfly large shrimp with this delicious flavor that almost tastes like it had saffron in it. Not a saucy garlic butter which is usually served as their garlic shrimp. And why would you put all the heads on and throw it on a bed of greens that could puncture someone's throat? Had I known in the restaurant that they threw on garlic shrimp on my salad, I would have returned it! In all my years coming to Island Vintage I've never experienced the shrimp salad like this. Waiter was fantastic and sweet! Manager should have taken initiative and shown more concern that my throat was punctured and I couldn't finish my food there..but again he was very nice..I should have agreed to a refund! Sorry ..my review is all over the place..and poorly written..I'm just super upset and just don't feel this matter was taken seriously.. I could have choked and my throat was punctured with part of the head or something in it. read more

One of our favorite places on the island with so many options for everyone in your party, including vegan options. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. They serve breakfast even during dinner time, there's many options and all are great picks. The octopus dish and eggplant at dinner was delicious. I had the octopus as my meal with a side of eggplant and with that I was full. I always add papaya as a dessert and that's a perfect dessert. Make sure you squeeze your lemon over your papaya because it brings the flavor out more. Ambiance is always great with really nice servers every time we go. You can make reservations a day ahead but not on the same day as you want to go. A definite try while you're in Oahu. read more

I have never tried the food here and coffee here even if I've been to Hawaii several times. And I been missing out! One of friends turned 40 and they wanted to do breakfast there. They made a reservation for 7. Restaurant was clean and tidy. They had beer but it was 7:30am. So maybe next time I come back for lunch. The wagyu loco moco was so good. It was missing mac salad. I like loco moco with mac salad. But i still enjoyed every bite. I expected the taro bagel with ube cream cheese to be to sweet for me but i also loved it. The açaí bowl was packed with fruits. 3 of us shared 3 plates so we all got a taste of all of it. Samantha S. took care of us and did a great job!

Overall, the food was great and the portions were generous; for the area and what you're getting the pricing is good. I love that they had a whole menu for vegan options. They also had a whole menu for gluten-free options. The service was just okay but the place was also packed. The shop is small and like most other places around, the birds were in there trying to get my food but the place was nice regardless. We picked this sitdown option, versus the nextdoor island vintage coffee option, as the line for that was way more ridiculous. read more

The wait time for a table of 4 was about 15 mins, and once we were seated, after a bit the waitress came to take our order. I got an Ikura Salmon Bowl which was evenly seasoned and the shoyu came on the side. I was pleasantly surprised by the sea asparagus and cucumber being nice and crisp. In addition we ordered a Premium Matcha Latte with the add on of strawberry, and the Frozen Taro. The matcha is good and the strawberry complements it quite well. As for the taro, it was pretty rich in flavor but it was around 20 oz so it is easy to get brain freeze if you drink it too fast. The overall vibe was casual and family friendly, great if you want a quick meal (for morning to early afternoon). read more

I will assume I am a fan of a restaurant if I show up 4 mornings in a row. This is what happened last month during my trip to the Waikiki area. I like to visit their Wine Bar for meals because it's a sit down arrangement and I can make reservations. The menu looks to be mostly the same as the Island Vintage side next door. The dishes I had were the Crab Omelet, Breakfast Plate, Garlic Shrimp Plate, and the Egg Brioche. I would happily order all 4 again any opportunity I could get someday, and that tells me that all these dishes were excellent. The consistency, quality, and freshness of their food and beverages is fantastic and I could eat here literally all the time. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is amazing also. Service is friendly and courteous, and they do a good job of getting you in and out without feeling rushed. read more

I highly recommend coming here if you want a light bite (or heavy if you get the loco moco). read more
