    CHEESE PIZZA
    Alex J.

    Cheese Pizza Bagel, great value, made quickly, lovely staff! Lots of different drink options and sandwiches to try. Ample inside seating.

    Tried the chicken salad bagel with a strawberry matcha. Everything was tasty and fresh--pleasant flavors all around. Not the most memorable, but still a solid, enjoyable spot for a quick bite.

    I loooove the bagels and the bagel sandwiches here. The bagels have the perfect amount of chew and the way they toast them is just perfect. The last time I went, I had my two cats with me since they just went to the vet. Thankfully, they're pet friendly and they said I could bring them in! I kept my cats in the carriers because it is a food establishment and I'm not trying to bother people. They were busy on a Wednesday around 5:30pm, full house. Great service. Anyone who likes bagel sandwiches needs to come here'

    Super friendly, helpful staff members and quick service. Street parking available on weekends at $1.50 an hour, max 1-hour. Great price. Great food. Great drinks, great vibe. It's is small. So have those quiet conversations to keep from everyone from hearing your business. There are tables outside and shaded by the condo that the deli and coffee shop is in. Great weekend brunching experience.

    I was looking for a coffee spot to pass the time on an early weekday morning and came across Kakaako Cafe, located across the street from Book Off Kakaako. I had been lugging a huge stroller so I was happy to see that the cafe was clean and spacious with plenty of counter and table seating. There was also lots of outdoor umbrella seating along the outside of the cafe. Super upbeat and friendly service from the ladies working at the front. I ordered a large vanilla iced coffee at the register and the workers brought it to me at my table. In addition to caffeinated beverages, the cafe also sells sandwiches, bagels, soup, oat milk soft serve. Overall this seems like an awesome place to study or grab a quick bite to eat. Lots of electrical outlets for charging your phone or laptop.

    Club sandwich on croissant
    Kanani C.

    So nice to have a spot that's walking distance while I wait for my car to be serviced. I ordered a club sandwich on croissant bread. Was tasty and had lots of filling. But with a small tip (vs an extravagant tip), still cost a little over $18 for the sandwich that comes with a small side salad (interesting dressing). This is a cozy place where it appears people like to meet up because they can hang out without being bothered by staff. The staff did not say hello or smile much, but that's fine, as they took my order, made it perfectly, then hand delivered it to me as I was seated at a table to wait (no number system, so was nice that they remembered faces and orders). No thank you or bye, but it's ok as long as service has no issues and food is good.

    Club sandwich on croissant

    Went here earlier today with a few friends around lunch time. It wasn't too busy for a weekday. Service was very friendly and patient. Plenty of indoor seating to enjoy your food or drinks indoors. There were a few small and well behaved dogs that made an appearance inside the cafe. Parking was more difficult. We were able to find street metered parking, but we did have to drive around the block twice. By the second time we swung around, four stalls had opened! I had the club sandwich on croissant bread (definitely recommend getting it on a croissant!!! So soft and delicious)! The salad was a nice touch and the dressing was delicious. My friend had the tuna melt which she enjoyed. Also had an iced matcha with soy milk which was pretty good. Matcha was strong and slightly bitter. If you like it sweet, definitely opt to add syrup or a flavor. Will definitely be back, as long as I can find parking!

    The coffee and food were reasonably priced. The coffee was fresh and the soft serve was delicious. I had the musubi as well, and I think they male their own salmon to put inside. It was salted perfectly. Very good. I hope to come back soon. It was clean and everything I expect from a cafe. My only concern is parking. Wonderful place. The service was a bit slow, but I am pretty sure they are training a new guy. It was fine.

    Name and management has changed. What used to be known as Cafe Grace is now Kaka'ako Cafe. Like the changes to extend hours now into the evening. Like that you can get a cup of coffee by day or a glass of wine by nite. Absolutely love the changes and additions to the menu; like the soups offered at lunch. Do miss the bagels from Lox of Bagels (that happened a few years ago) tho. Hope they bring those back, along with the cute bagel puffs. A nice and comfy home away from home space. A great place in the neighborhood!

    Hot cafe mocha with soft serve ice cream
    Richard H.

    Located just off of Kapiolani avenue. This is an excellent coffee shop with a great menu! Relaxed indoor seating, with tables chairs and family atmosphere. Excellent espresso menu, which includes the option to add soft serve ice cream with your drinks(unfortunately it was melted and absorbed into the cup). Great selection of breakfast menu items: bagel and egg sandwich, with delicious house made dressing. Salmon, tuna musubis. Delicious bakery items, such as their blueberry scone.

    Bagel Burger on cheese bagel
    Kylie T.

    All I have to say is - I must dine here in person one day! Both orders I've placed were delivered to our office when my team was incredibly peckish and we weren't looking for something too heavy like a plate lunch or pizza (or the plethora of Chinese food options downtown). Perusing our options on DoorDash and UberEats we found Kaka'ako Cafe and boy I tell ya; the pictures do not lie. These bagel sandwiches looked exactly like the photos. Filled to the brim with your choice of ingredients. First time around I had the roast beef bagel sandwich. Super Ono and filling. So much so I lost my marbles and forgot to take a pic before the plate was empty. I also got a bagel sandwich as a snack going back home since the westbound traffic has been the pits. And I never like be hangry on the road hehe. My teammate requested for a tuna melt that she ended up saving for later and advised if anyone ever has it as a leftover - throw it into the airfryer for a few minutes so the cheese gets nice and toasty. Second go I had a salmon bagel with added bacon in an everything bagel. Super super good. Hands down one of the best I've ever had. The bacon added an additional savoriness that makes me want to order it all the time! The price of the add-on bacon was also negligible for the overall cost. I've only heard good things about the service of Kaka'ako Cafe but I guess delivery can be another beast as it depends on a multitude of factors. The first time it took over an hour to get our order after the original delivery time was quoted to be 35 minutes. Won't fault that to the Cafe though as I understand dine-in is different. Will adjust my review once I'm able to visit in person!

    Kakaako Café located in the Kakaako area, free parking in the building. We went there for lunch on a Saturday, and this place is packed. They serve mainly sandwiches, bagels, soup, small meals, salad and drinks, etc. We ordered two sandwiches. Hot pastrami and Spicy chicken sandwich. The sandwich was made fresh, so it was hot and tasty. I also ordered a hot Matcha and my wife ordered a house coffee. However, the coffee was not hot, so I complained to them, and they gladly gave us another cup of HOT coffee. Our sandwiches also come with either salad or bag of chips. I saw a lot of younger people in this place, more like a Starbucks that teenagers buy a drink and hang out with their free Wi-Fi for hours. The average cost for a sandwich is between $14.25 to $16.25, I wound say average. This place has been around for a while, they must be doing OK. Check it out.

    Wagyu Bagel Burger with chips
    Seyoung Y.

    Never bad a bagel burger before so I got curious. Ordered their wagyu burger. It was pretty good. The patty was yummy and the bagels were soft, and chewy. I liked that it was different from a regular burger. Less greasy and felt healthier. I also ordered their blueberry cream cheese scone. It was pretty good. Overall a decent cafe to grab something quick to eat. I tried their latte in the past (and I'm a huge coffee fan in general) and I thought their coffee was just okay though. Not bad for a quick caffeine boost.

    This was my first time here and after hearing wonderful reviews of these bagels and things, I was…read moreso pleased to try it for myself. They have a pretty organized set up there, sad that Ward will be tearing down soon, I hope they have another location to set up shop at, because this was, indeed, a great experience. I went to New York City a few years ago for the first time and I was told by many friends that I have to try the pizza and bagels in NYC. I did try both and I actually found my favorite pizza in New Jersey to be honest (I have a Yelp review on that). But the bagels were pretty much great everywhere. I had several, but i'm told it's the real deal in NYC. I'm from Hawaii, I get how people are particular about their food. Hawaii food is way up there in rank. But this bagel went beyond my bagel expectations, and let me tell you why. First of all, they took the time to explain to this small time local mind, what everything was, like schmear and types of bagels, to be exact. We came close to closing, so the options were limited, which probably worked in my favor and indicisiveness. I chose the egg bagel and it was very delicious and the schmear, which was really underplayed in description was WOW!! Tasty and so smooth and creamy and dreamy...lol, I wish I bought more, cause i'm making my own mouth water. Long story short, it was great, worth the wait and definitely filling to perfection!! I'm no bagel expert, by no means, but this was my favorite. I cant wait to try other flavors in the near future!! Great Job Tali's Bagels & Schmear and by the way, your staff is pretty amazing, but i'm sure you know this already!!

    Food: We ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese. I don't have much to compare it with since I…read morehardly order bagels but I thought it was pretty good. Nice crunch with a soft chewy inside. There was a generous amount of cream cheese so much that it would ooze out with every bite. Service: its just a counter, but the order came out pretty quick and the workers seemed nice. Price: Again, I dont know a lot about bagels but $7 does seem a little high for a plain bagel. Maybe next time I would try one of their bagel sandwiches.

Not much parking, but there are a couple spots. The Better Daze coffee hut just around the corner serves a small selection of big time bagels from the farmers market. I prefer those.

The Breakfast Sandwich came with egg, bacon, ham, and American cheese. Chose the croissant, which was the smaller size variety. This was good with a generous amount of egg and bacon. It was a hearty sandwich. The Tuna Sandwich on Everything Bagel was good. Nice crisp on the bagel. A decent simple sandwich with fresh ingredients. I would have preferred more mayo and the canned tuna to have flavor. Regular brewed coffee was very good. Brewed very well with solid coffee flavor. Exactly the flavor I remembered when I first tried it. The star was the Kyoto Style Cold Brew. It was smooth, clean, bright, and strong. The flavor maintained throughout--even with the ice cubes melted in. Overall, a decent experience. The sandwiches were good. Coffee was excellent. Friendly service. Can't wait to come back to try more things and get more Kyoto style cold brew!

While it was tasty, it felt like a bit too much all at once, and the flavors competed rather than coming together perfectly. The garlic bagel was okay. The garlic pieces on top were quite burnt, which gave it a bitter flavor, while the bagel itself was fairly chewy. Unfortunately, there weren't any other bagel options available during my visit, so I didn't have much choice. The shop itself was spacious and had a few seating options available, though the atmosphere wasn't particularly memorable. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. It's always great to see a new bagel shop, and sometimes a good bagel just hits the spot when you're craving one. While The Fancy B wasn't quite for me, I appreciated the chance to try something different and would maybe be willing to come back and explore other menu options.

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!

    The Porch - 5 Stars…read more Now this was unexpected. I came to Restaurant Row to eat at Tempura Man after seeing a post about it, but I couldn't find it. I guess they may have gone out of business. While looking around, I stumbled upon The Porch. It looked good and seemed popular, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Turkey Pesto Sandwich, and boy was I surprised. This wasn't the thin, pre-sliced turkey you get at the grocery store. It was made with thick slices of turkey breast, fresh tomatoes, and spinach, all served on a buttery croissant bun. On the side was a fresh spinach salad topped with tomatoes. This place is a cute hole-in-the-wall gem. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the sandwich was packed with flavor. They have a cozy couch you can relax on while eating, along with a few small tables. It's not a big place and probably isn't ideal for large groups, but it's perfect for a casual lunch or quick bite. Serve was good. If you're looking for a fresh and tasty sandwich, this is definitely a must-try spot. Happy eating!

    Stopped by here after doing some labs at DLS and was first time for us both. We only had coffee but…read moreit was darn tasty. We both got iced cold brews and thought it was pretty neat that the drinks came in a soda can-like container equipped with a pop-top and all. Very cool. All the staff behind the counter were very friendly and I did notice some of them were delivering the drinks and food to the customers that were seated at tables. Gotta make it a point to try some of their food next time.
