I was happy to find that they have both simple crepes (Paris) AND the fancy ones! I also ordered the veggie omelette and was happy to see it came with a delicious salad too! I saw Cotton Candy Lemonade and had to try it. It was unique and refreshing. The ambiance is fun and inviting, the staff is friendly and helpful ...even giving me recommendations based on what I was looking for. The young woman who helped me came out to tell me that the avocados they had that day (for the veggie omelette) weren't good enough to serve, she offered me more of any other vegetables they had. I appreciated the integrity and care not to let a customer eat subpar avocados! There is seating inside and outside(covered) and the friendly staff delivers your food to the table. My only personal critique is that the food is served in to go containers and plastic utensils are given. If I'm eating AT a restaurant, I prefer plates and non-plastic utensils. HOWEVER, this is a personal preference and it did not take away from the flavor of the food one bit. I'm looking forward to returning!

Today I learned that *when* I receive bad service at the onset of my visit, it is imperative that I…read moreeither leave immediately and go find what I'm looking for OR forgive with grace and enjoy my meal. The meal itself (pictured below) was fine. Exceptionally pricey at $30 for eggs, sausage, and rice, but honestly...it would have been fine and amusing if not for the above mentioned service. What I wanted? To be greeted semi-promptly, order taken, food delivered, checked on, bill brought, I leave. What I got? Told to sit, greeted some time later, 2 tables sat after me, they got their order taken, I got my order taken (this is when I should have left but I have a penchant for social experiments), food delivered, bill brought, I left. Wont be back unless my friends want to come. The restaurant wont miss me based on how they talked about me loudly just behind where I was seated. I accept full responsibility for not leaving immediately. All good.

A friend ordered kalbi because they didn't feel like breakfast. Sooo glad they did. The kalbi was delicious! The beef was a thicker cut & well marinated, tho a bit on the sweet side. The fried fish sandwich included 2 crispy pieces. The mango chiffon pancakes & kalua pork benedict were yummy, as usual.

I love it here and always want to go. Best coffee in Kailua in my opinion…read more Normally get the Kula Latte and Honu Latte which is super delicious. Quality is just amazing and distinct sweetener. I also appreciate when we get the drinks iced, they don't over ice it like most places where you feel like you're getting ripped off, but it's like it's a perfect amount of ice. We normally go on a Sunday, so thankfully free street parking and just had to cross the street. If you go on other days, just know there's only meter parking that you have to find nearby. Customer service is always amazing and they always ask how you're doing. Some downsides for me personally, there is only outdoor seating. There is a small little bench inside to wait but overall just not a place to hangout for me. There's also only one worker so sometimes if it's busy and they're juggling orders, it'll take a bit, so I always make sure I have time and not in a rush if I go, just in case.

"Sorry, you still gotta pay for the rice and veg". "What? No starch, well, I can give you green salad or a side of broccoli" NO NO NO. That kind of thing. Was pleasantly surprised Boots and Kimo don't play that game! Wish more restaurants would update their menus for people like us... Ala Carte please all you restaurant owners!! They really have quite the efficient system here. You order outside the door with the lovely friendly gal (shoot don't remember her name!), then you walk inside and pay at the window, then to your table. The coffee and waters came shortly after we sat and the food came within about 10 minutes or so. We each got eggs and pulehu ribs and the 3 of us shared a side of bacon and an order of the kalbi ribs (total treat cheat as we RARELY eat ANYTHING with sugar/soy etc). Bacon was crispy-YAY. It was all so good. Aside from those sugary ONOlishioso ribs, the perfect meal for us! Next time we'll skip the kalbi and add more bacon. The only things I would ding them on is the price of the side of eggs, and tipping. Somehow gotta figure out how to do tipping after the service! Not gonna change review stars for egg price & tip situation ... Just a note & suggestion to the owner.

But when my niece was out here, she stopped by and said the food was really good. They also had live music. So when I found myself heading home from my parents, I stopped here to eat cause I was starving! I entered and it was a little busy so it took a while for the friendly server to come give me a seat, and she apologized. The menu is pretty extensive with a lot to choose from. I decided on the Hapa Loco Moco, a corned beef patty and a hamburger patty. I also asked to sub the kim chee fried rice, which is extra. I also ordered a side of mac salad, which was good, but different. But the Hapa is really good! Rich gravy over it all. I do wish there was more corned beef than potatoes in the patty, but it was good. I do recommend getting the kim chee fried rice because it's AMAAAAAAAAAAZINGLY delicious! So full of flavor! The service was great! Lots of locals coming in as I was getting to leave. Great place to come to! Mahalo Cafe Kalawe!!!

There was already a short wait. We were quoted about 10 minutes. Sure enough we were seated 10 minutes later. The hubby ordered the Early Bird Special (6:30am-9:00am) $10.95 and a coffee $4.45. The Early Bird Special came with three buttermilk pancakes and two eggs. I got the Ube Short Stack $17.95. This came with three ube pancakes with ube butter. The ube pancakes were ok. It was a lot. I could only finish half and left the rest. The gave a big scoop of ube butter, which was really rich. I could taste a hint of ube flavor in the pancakes and in the butter. Other than that it just tasted like regular pancakes. The service was good. The servers were nice and refilled the coffee. They offered a take out box for my pancakes, but it wouldn't have been good after, so I declined.
