It was the first time going to Kakaako Cafe and everyone there was so nice, very hospitable and always had a smile on their faces. It was so nice to go to a place with great atmosphere with no worries. I had the Thai coffee and that was on point. Highly recommend! read more

I've been waiting to try cafe grace because I feel like it's a lesser known cafe than the mainstream ones I've been going to like Honolulu coffee or island vintage! I was excited to go today after seeing that they reopened dine in seating! All I had to do was show my covid vaccination card (good thing I had a picture bc they don't accept the QR code just yet!). I really loved my time dining in at the cafe--everything is reasonably priced, there are many outlets to charge your laptop, the staff was friendly and the cafe felt clean and quiet enough to study. I ordered an iced latte and asked about alternative milks because it isn't on the menu--and they do have oat, almond and soy at no additional charge like most cafes!!! Although I left before lunch, I really want to try their bagel sandwiches the next time I come to study. I think I found my new favorite study cafe!! read more

So glad I found my new cafe in town. Had an appointment in the area and was dying for a coffee so this was the closest one(besides Starbucks which I don't care for.) I thought it was going to take a while so I sat down there was one person in the front of me it may have took maybe five minutes so not too bad. The lady at the counter was nice. The indoor decor could use a bit more help or maybe lighter color walls idk but it's just plain. I decided to try a matcha strawberry scone and omg my mind was blowwwn! I loved it so much. So happy I stopped by. My almond milk latte was good too just wish it was a bit hotter. Thank you Kakaako Cafe! I'll be back :) read more

Absolutely delicious salad. I had grilled chicken salad and my friend salad with tuna. The atmosphere is delightful. Clean and the service was very pleasant. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time. read more

I am more than happy that I tried this place! The egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich was so delicious and hot! It also comes with a side of salad for only $13!!! The portions are so huge I could definitely share it with someone else. The cashiers were very friendly and sweet, we made small talk and I felt comfortable. I'm coming back the next time I'm in the area because I had such an amazing experience!! read more

The egg white pesto on croissant is my go to and the açaí bowl here is bomb. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is nice and chill.

Always a good to spot when we're in town for the day! Especially during breakfast time! The food is always delicious and comes out fast (try the tuna and/or curry chicken salad sandwiches, as well as the lattes!), the customer service is good and welcoming, and the cafe as a whole just feels really inviting. Definitely one of my family's new favorites! read more

Q: What does a bagel do when it is locked out of its house? A: Calls a lox-smith. After dropping off our car for routine maintenance, we passed by Café Grace on Cooke Street while enroute to our usual bakery and decided to look over its menu. Much to our surprise, Café Grace features bagels from its sister business, Lox of Bagels, and made-to-order hot/cold coffees, teas and other beverages. So instead of walking further, we decided to go in. The coffee shop ambiance is comfortable and sort of like Friends' NY Central Perk. There is a comfy "living room" area where you can sit and relax with your beverage and bagel (bagel sandwiches and desserts are available) as well as other seating arrangements. It's quite refreshing to come in to this café and not find so many people camping for hours with laptops or electronic devices but customers are actually having conversations. Service was friendly and nicely paced which set us and other customers in to a calmness. There is free Wi-Fi (passcode is posted behind cashier) and validated parking in the attached parking structure (entrance on Kawaiha'o Street) or metered street parking along Cooke Street can be had, although might be slim pickings during weekdays. Their daily menu offers a variety of plain to flavored bagels that they'll prepare with fruit and spread of your choice, egg creations, sandwiches, melts, and salads and wraps. You can specify how toasted you want your bagel when you order but generally, they do light toast. Their bagels have a thick crust that's tender enough to bite through without forcing off the lox and schmear or any spread of your choice. As you bite through the crust, its light chewy crumb acts like a blank canvas to the topping(s). While we sat and enjoyed our coffees and bagels, there were numerous other customers who came in to either dine-in or pick up their take out orders. We sat nearby a window and watched the traffic buzz by yet we felt insulated in the calmness of Café Grace. We'll be back to try other bagel flavors or menu items. read more

Although I live within a mile of this place, its taken me awhile to find it. Cafe Grace is an adorable cafe with a great food and drink selections, all at reasonable prices. Last visit I had their bagel and lox and then had to get their tiramisu scone for dessert. Wow! They also have some fabulous lunch desert specials. Previous visit I had an excellent pizza bagel ($4.99!!!) of which I can choose from a variety of toppings. My wife loves their egg white pesto sandwich, and their house coffee is perfect for us. The cafe is spotlessly clean and if you're a laptop warrior as I, there's plenty of surface space, outlets and 50Mpbs free wifi. I don't know about the parking situation however there's a Biki (Hawaii Bikeshare) station directly across the street which is how my wife and I commute. Quality, cleanliness, vibes and location. Its got it all. read more

Amazing service. Always feel welcome here. They have great food, dessert, and alcohol options. Daiske is one of the reasons why we come in a lot. He is always so nice. Great customer service. I always look out for their monthly specials. Especially their ice cream of the month. read more

Cafe Grace has a peaceful atmosphere and a great place to keep focus/study. Parking: Park in the Imperial Plaza parking garage. The entrance is on Kawaiahao Street. The first 2 hours are free with validation. There is also meter parking with a limit of 1 hour. Food: I only had their soup of the day. It had sweet potatos, onions, soy milk, and toppd with croutons. Sounds weird at first, but I thought I'd give it a try. Definitely not a soup that I've tried before, but I would purchase it again. Simple and enjoyable. They also have bagels with special toppings, which looked tasteful and fulfilling. Service: Not a busy place the time I went (10ish), which is my preference. The front register person was friendly. The staff in the kitchen delivered my food to me as I was studying, which I loved. It seemed they provide glassware for your food/drinks if you plan to dine-in. Once you're done with your food, there is a tall counter that you can place you dirty dishes on. read more

Curry Chicken on Everything Bagel was delicious and the dressing on the side salad was really good! Employees were really nice and they come to your table to deliver your food. Ambiance was chill but if you're trying to study it can be a bit noisy. Great place to meet a friend for coffee. Parking was convenient in the lot but if you plan to stay there for longer than 2 hours, it's $2 for every additional hour with validation. read more

Loveeee their egg white pesto sandwich! I like their chai latte (iced) as well. It is a great and reasonably priced place to grab a quick and convenient bite! The workers are really friendly, and it is within walking distance of the place where i get my car oil changed, so that's a huge plus for me! They have wifi here, along with outlets where we can charge our laptops when we do work. They give you large portions too. I'm excited to come back again next time and try something different from their menu! read more

I stopped in her to have lunch the other day. I was looking for a sandwich shop and came here based on yelp reviews. You enter the restaurant and order at the counter. I asked what was recommended and their top recommendation was the pastrami sandwich. They also recommended the bagel pizzas, chicken salad sandwich and tuna melt. I went with the Tuna melt. This is an open faced bagel sandwich. You could also do it in a croissant or bread. The sandwich came with a mixed green salad as well. I also got an Arnold Palmer. The restaurant was clean and tables as well. My sandwich didn't take too long and it was very tasty. I did however break 2 forks eating my sandwich. I tell you these new plastic forks don't stand up as well. The avocado on the tuna melt was a nice addition. The tuna salad had some onions which I was worried about but they were fine. Not that obvious and didn't leave an onion taste behind. The Arnold Palmer was perfect. A good balance of tea and lemonade. This isn't as easy as one would think. I often have to add water because the lemonade is too strong. The salad was also good. I liked the flavor of the dressing but didn't love the gritty texture of the dressing. I would have preferred chips but that's just me. Overall a great place for lunch or breakfast based on the menu. Nice selection, good parking and nice space to eat and work if you had work to do. read more

Cafe Grace is a comfortable neighborhood place to grab a quick bite to eat or chit chat over coffee. Located on the ground floor of Imperial Plaza, this cafe is quiet, unassuming, and easy to miss. It seems that bagels, breakfast items, and coffee drinks comprise most of the menu. While I wasn't thrilled by my plain bagel, I did like my friend's bagel, dill cream cheese, avocado, and tomato sandwich. Call me crazy... but I really enjoyed drinking my morning coffee in their mug. Beats a paper cup any day! Service was ok and parking is validated. Big plus! I'd definitely return when in the area. read more

I loved my first experience here during late September! We ordered a chicken salad sandwich, a curry chicken sandwich, a lemonade, and a plantation ice tea. The total was ~$28. At first, the total cost seemed a bit pricy, but I was very happy to see that the sandwiches were generously stuffed. The curry chicken sandwich was so flavorful, I highly recommend it. Also, the customer service was great and the staff were welcoming. I think a new worker was being trained when I had gone in and I could overhear how nice and patient the trainer was. This made me happy. I plan to go back! read more

If you're ever looking for a quaint, little coffee shop in Honolulu, stop by Cafe Grace. We were so lucky to be invited to a presentation at this cafe offering a comfortable setting for family and friends to gather. We were treated to a delicious choice of beverages like cappuccinos, lattes, mochas, teas, fruit juices, or cream sodas. I had the sweet thai coffee and my husband chose the old fashioned cream soda. Their homemade corn soup was so creamy and sweet. It was served with roast beef sandwiches and potato salad. For dessert, we had the soft serve ice cream with our choice of toppings. It's the perfect place for small intimate brunch gatherings with friends or if you just want a quiet place to eat and read a book. For your next getaway, don't forget to stop by Cafe Grace! read more

Love this place! Been here quite a few times since starting a job earlier this year. There's a quite a lot on the menu to choose from for what you're craving for. So far, I've had their Thai coffee mocha, variety scones, curry chicken salad, açaí bowl, pizza bagel, soft serve ice cream. All so good and filling. Everything made fresh! Customer service is always great here. They can custom your order to how you want. This is definitely my go to cafe place. read more

I popped in during lunch and it was pretty busy, which is understandable for lunch time since restaurant options are limited for employees nearby. The wait was a little long for our food (15-20) but just expect a little wait when busy. The bagel was delicious and worth the wait! read more

I guess you could call me a regular of Café Grace now. I come here after work on most days to practice and study my Japanese (the staff here are fluent in Japanese). I really enjoy the ambiance of the space. There's free Wi-Fi, charging (like Starbucks in the old days), and on any given day, you'll see children and families, dogs, and students studying. By the way, you can contact Café Grace to reserve the space for parties. (It'll make me sad because then I can't study there, but it'll be good for you because the space is great!) I'm also considering reaching out to people to do small language exchange chat groups there (especially Japanese). read more

Love this place! The lady at the register was very kind and helpful. It was my first time here and so she explained how to find everything on the menu and how to order. She recommended the blueberry and cream cheese scone and I am so happy she did. It was amazing! I also had the breakfast bagel with bacon egg and cheese. It comes with salad, and I thought who eats salad at 9 AM? Well, after one taste, I discovered that I happily do!! If you don't want to eat inside there are many shaded tables outside along Cooke st. Very pleasant! read more

I always enjoy coming here just to study for tests or do some work. I feel like my motivation flows a lot and I like how they are open till 9! read more

A cozy neighborhood cafe, perfect for lunch or a quiet pau hana drink. +1 for their imaginative selection of scone flavors. On any given day they have matcha-flavored scones, scones with Oreos, scones with mango and pineapple, lavender scones, and many more imaginative combos. Staff is super helpful and they have a flatscreen TV with soothing drone footage (mountains, forests, little towns, etc). Just a fun neighborhood vibe read more

My husband and I eat there every time I go over to Oahu. His condo is there and I'm based out of Maui so I'm over a lot! We always ge the egg white pesto on croissant... so good so good so good. Sing with me now. Iwe also get the soy vanilla latte. They also make good scones of a variety of flavors. Staff is super nice! Bonus is the price point, it's not a gauge. Sorta a local spot. We really appreciate them. No ka oi! House and Buddy read more

The bagels are superb! All of them! The fish Sammy, lemonade, and breakfast veggie plate are excellent. Also, LOVE the staff.

Great little coffee shop with a nice, quiet atmosphere to meet a friend or do whatever people do with computers at Starbucks. Friendly staff and clean space! I came for the breakfast taro bagel and bagel puffs I keep seeing online. I stand by my choice to try everything at least once but these were more fun to look at than to taste. The PB cookie dough bagel puff was dry and I didn't really get the "cookie dough" inside. It was flavorless on its own. I love the concept though! I still want to try the cinna sugar w/ cream cheese anyways. The bagel was great! There aren't many bagel options out here so I'm always keeping tabs on where to go. The egg/bacon/cheese/pepper/onion just wasn't good. Would try just cream cheese next time! read more

Cafe Grace is the sister restaurant to Lox of Bagels, the source of their fresh bagels, bagel puffs, and flavored cream cheeses. Come here for breakfast bagels with eggs, veggies, sausage and cheese or Nutella and fruit. For me, I crave a toasted bagel with a mountain of flavored cream cheese. For lunch, if it's a delicious sandwich, it's a delicious bagel sandwich. Think curry chicken, hot roast beef, hot pastrami, veggie supreme, lox and cream cheese, and tuna and avocado melt. These hearty sandwiches also come with your choice of two sides--salad, quinoa and ratatouille. And for dessert, they have a variety of bagel puffs. These stuffed bagel balls also make great office meeting refreshments, snack day offerings, and unique potluck additions. I've even bought boxes of them for omiyage. The space is inviting, you could have a casual meeting here or try to get work done. But really it's about the bagels and cream cheese. Carb lovers know fresh bagels are amazing. Go get yours at Cafe Grace. read more

I haven't been back here since it changed from Cafe Grace to Kakaako Cafe. I loved it before, I love it even more now. This place has always made me feel welcome and like I'm at home. They're so kind, the atmosphere is light and happy and like a family lives here. Don't even get me started on the food, it's delicious, fresh and balanced. They have everything you could think of for a perfect(quick or not so quick) breakfast or lunch stop. Their drinks are amazing too. I got a chai latte and a bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel. Kakaako cafe is definitely a happy place of mine and I'll be coming back for a long time. read more
