First time visiting the Island Vintage Wine Bar in Royal Hawn Shopping Center. Went around 5pm for…read morean early dinner. Pesto Chicken Sandwich, Burger and Garlic Shrimp was delicious! Large servings, great service, and a perfect place to eat with our friend from Japan. **Kamaʻāina and military guests can receive 3 free hours of parking at the Royal Hawaiian Center by presenting a minimum of $25 in same-day receipts (which can be combined across different stores/restaurants), along with your parking ticket and a valid Hawaiʻi State ID, Driver's license, or Military ID.The validation process is handled exclusively at Helumoa Hale Guest Services (located near the center stage, Building A, Level 1) between the hours of 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM, 7 days a week.

I ordered the frozen lava chocolate which was quite good especially on a hot day. It was creamy and sweet. Tried some of the pandan vanilla latte and really enjoyed that too. I didn't get food for myself but it looked solid.

The cafe was beautiful, I would totally study here if they were open for longer. The cashier was…read moregreat and she suggested great items. She's also so pretty!! There was parking behind the building and it's free but very limited. I got the strawberry glow smoothie which was inspired from Hailey Beiber's smoothie at Erewhon, and $18. It was pretty good though and lowkey filling, I would compare this to an acai bowl in a cup. It was very thick and it tasted a little like bananas, there was a lot of good ingredients that benefit you though.

Would recommend the minted greens, a take on a mint chocolate chip.

It was also very nice because I wanted a specific plant and they took my name down so they can let me know when it comes in. One of my favorite plant shops on island!

Good things come to those who wait. I only wish there were more people here specifically waiting…read morefor the coffee because it was absolutely delicious! Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Been back here multiple times since moving to Hawaii…read more Same great service. Nice coffee shop ambiance. Good outdoor seating space to people watch, enjoy your Koma coffee and some gourmet pastries. Those of you unfamiliar with Kouign Amann - Google it! Definitely must try if you have not had it. Along with Kona Coffee, of course. If you're in Waikiki or visiting Oahu, this is one of the coffee shops I highly recommend.

It's another Sunday search with my hubby. We wanted something small for breakfast and decided to…read moregive Cafe Lapin a try. Sunday street parking is free so we parked in one of the metered stalls on Sheridan Street. Free parking This place is located on the 3rd floor. We opted to take the stairs to get our steps in but there is also an elevator available. The shop is very tidy and for seating, inside there is a communal table for up to 6 and a table for 2. Outside there are tables on the lanai area. The menu is limited but has both sweet and savory options as well as a good selection of coffees and teas. Today we tried the Guava with cream cheese and Black Sesame with cream cheese. The bread made made both yummy! Both were not too sweet and served in a lovely presentation. Prices were pushing the wallet for the serving size however, I can understand it because of the time and effort that it takes to make the toast presentation make you do a double take. Overall, the service was good and we did not feel rushed at all. We were able to slow down our typical pace and just enjoy each other's company. This definitely a place I would love to share a mommy-daughter breakfast excursion.

When my husband was looking for some coffee after we landed in Honolulu and our first option wasn't…read moregoing to work, I ended up quickly spotting this seemingly quaint Japanese cafe and am glad it was good and a lovely, peaceful vibe! It's a bit hard to find though. Located on the top floor of a complex with other food options. You take the elevator up. I'd recommend parking in the Walmart structure across the street because otherwise parking is also hard to find. I got a seasonal drink (white sesame kinako latte with a shot of matcha) and at $11 it was maybe the priciest cup of caffeine I've ever had haha. But it was interesting and tasty and got me refreshed, so worth savoring as a special treat. My husband got a maple cocoa cold foam coffee and it was also delicious! We also got a couple of baked items, which took a while (barista did thank us for waiting) to come out but the tuna melt toast especially hit the spot. The dashi tamago sando was just alright. They also have dessert treats which looked delicious.

YES i came back for my daily bread and to try matcha! banana…read morematcha was okay, on the sweeter side. they use monin syrups instead of real banana though as a heads up! salt bread: original - I LOVE YOU nothing more needs to be said 10/10 cookie - sweet and salty! tastes like malaysian rotiboy. could also be compared to cantonese pineapple bun or mexican concha. basically a sweet crackly crust on top of another crackly (butter) crust. 9/10 sesame - YUM but couldn't really taste the sesame. maybe bring the flavor out more by infusing the butter pad inside with sesame??? 8/10 red bean - YUM i love red bean. however it wasn't as buttery or crackly as the others. 8/10 overall would just get a bunch of original and cookie salt bread and skip the matcha!

The salt and butter roll was fresh and chewy with a soft hint of butter inside. The mini panini had bacon, tomato, cheese and pesto. It was good too. Too bad, the bakery didn't have tables inside.

They didn't have tons of matcha flavors, but we ordered: Strawberry Matcha 4/5 Lemonade Matcha 4/5 It has to be a 4/5 for me cause although the quality was the best, it wasn't the best flavors. I've had places that do both. I love a good balance of strawberry and matcha, this one the strawberry flavor wasn't super noticeable. That's probably more of a preference thing though. It's a super small quaint spot. There's seats available, but it's more of a pick up and go spot. They have restrooms and a little shop to buy custom local swag. The service was good, nothing crazy! Not tons of parking. Overall, I would totally come back!

It's a small shop so it can get crowded and they have 2 outdoor patio tables. I ordered the guava vanilla matcha and my friend got the strawberry matcha. Upon first sip we both thought it was quite good but the matcha is very subtle. I do find that this is the type of drink you have to finish fast cause once the ice is melted it waters down your drink.
