I initially found out about Rise Cafe from their episode on KHON2 x Living 808. I always appreciate restaurants and establishments that focus on clean eating, especially for me, that hates feeling "sluggish" after eating foods that are made up of a lot of seed oils. Today (July 31, 2026) was my first time ordering food and drinks from here, but for first impressions, 10/10. I ordered a Kamalu Bowl ($16) and a 12 oz. iced roasted mac nut latte ($6.75) For parking, there are a few stalls in front (but are limited) or there is a parking lot behind with fairly low rates. I will be a returning customer as I am a student at UH Manoa, which is not even that far from here :) read more

Rise Cafe - Kamalu Bowl x Iced Mac Nut Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was the first time for me at this little quaint Cafe. It was very busy at the time and it was a Saturday. We ordered two plates mine was the brisket with fried rice and hers was the Kamalu Bowl. We had the order to go. When we got to the destination and opened up both plates mine didn't look too appetizing but hers did. After gobbling up my food I sort of enjoyed it but I definitely had better brisket. But to my surprise hers tasted really good especially the cauliflower risotto! I definitely order that next time. I'm not too much of a health food fanatic but I'll eat anything. One thing I notice is the service in this place was excellent the servers were very attentive and always asked if I needed help. The lady at the counter was more than willing to make me understand what's in the plates I love that kind of service. If you're looking for a great place to hang out especially in the morning this is the place to come they serve all kinds of drinks yogurt drinks and different coffees. Sorry I didn't take the time to take a picture of all those menus because it was busy. I know this a lot of college age customers enjoying the time at this Cafe. Even some that are on my age which is great to see. read more

This morning was the first weekend breakfast out in quite awhile. As we Yelped, we decided to take a healthy route to breakfast and chose to take a drive to Kaimuki and give Rise Cafe a try. There was lots of paid parking available. So important to us because fighting for parking can put a big damper on the experience. The ambience of the cafe made me smile as I felt relaxed and welcomed. It was our first time here and the young lady at the register had a beautiful smile and patiently waited for us to make our menu selections while answering our questions. Seating seemed limited until she shared that there is additional seating upstairs and someone would bring our order to us. Nice! We went upstairs and were able to quickly find a table for two. The wait for our order was reasonable and allowed hubby and me to catch up on our schedules for the upcoming week. Our meals were served with a smile. My better half ordered the Brisket Fried Rice and Drip Coffee. I had the Kamala Bowl and Toasty Matcha. We both enjoyed our meals very much. Personally, I love the fact the it filled me without the typical greasy feel and sluggishness that I normally feel after consuming a savory breakfast. This was great healthy food. If you're looking local kanak-attack portions, you will be disappointed. For me, this was perfect "Hachi-Harabu" servings. Filling without over-eating. I actually feel energized instead of sleepy after a weekend breakfast. Will definitely be back with my girlfriends. I'm glad we decided to give Rise Cafe a try. read more

Love this place! Just popped in and had the breakfast sandwich and matcha latte. Wow the sandwich exceeded my expectations! Full of flavor and filled me up! Delicious! I try to get a different drink each time I come and it's always so good. I also love looking at the sugar display that shows how much sugar is in the common foods that we tend to eat. Super informative And there's WiFi if you need it. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not Keto but I've been meaning to try this keto cafe for a while. I had a dentist appointment which is in the area so I decided to go to Rise Cafe after. The cafe is small and is located across Daily Whisk Matcha. You can just park in the lot but I had found street parking that day. I was surprised to see the owner, Dr. Jodi, at the front taking orders. She was friendly and personable. I like following her page for keto meal ideas even though I'm not keto, I like to incorporate lower carb meals. I decided to do a to-go order of the Coconut Wireless espresso drink and the breakfast waffle sandwich. I was worried that I wouldn't like the drink because I am iffy about coconut milk but it was actually really good. I got it sweetened with a little honey and it was delicious. The breakfast waffle sandwich was a generous portion of eggs, bacon, cheese between 2 keto waffles. Basically like a keto version of a McGriddle. The waffles didn't taste keto and tasted like regular waffles. Honestly, so good! I could get used to eating like this lol. I'm looking forward to trying her other items on the menu! read more

Located in Kaimuki, Rise Cafe is a small-ish cafe with two stories of seating. The bottom floor has the kitchen and counter where we ordered. There are also tables and chairs to sit downstairs. After looking at the menu, we decided to get the chicken and chaffles and kamalu bowl. Everything seemed healthy with limits on the carbs and a lack of sugar. We made our order and sat upstairs, which had a couple seating options. The spaces upstairs and downstairs felt clean and simple. There were some decorations but not an overwhelming amount. All of the food we ordered felt filling. The bowls included a variety of foods such as avocados, eggs, and more. The chicken and chaffles were good! The chicken was not oily and did not taste super fried. The chaffles had more of a grainy texture than usual waffles but were still tasty. The chicken and chaffles were about $18, which we felt was a bit pricey. However, we were full by the end of lunch. We are looking forward to going back and trying some new items, such as the loco moco. read more

Got a high blood sugar? Eat at Rise Cafe! On a low-carb diet? Eat at Rise Cafe! Just want to eat healthier? Eat at Rise Cafe! Rise Cafe located in the Kaimukī, along 11th Ave., right next to Carte Blanche and Subway. There's a couple of dedicated parking spots out front, or in the paid parking lot. This place serves up breakfast items and coffee/tea drinks and follows a Ketogenic diet with its ingredients. Inside is small and cozy with two levels of sitting areas. You just order at the front and they'll bring everything to your table. The Bulletproof Coffee was okay. I would have preferred the butter to be blended in with the coffee and cream instead of on the top. The Americano was good. Solid flavor. Steak and Eggs. Simple. The chimichurri sauce was delicious! Tasty and bright. The steak was a bit overcooked to my medium requested with about half tender, half toothsome. The steak might've sat under cool air because it was not warm when it arrived, and the pieces were mostly room temperature with some chilled cold. Not sure if that is the intention. The eggs, also requested medium, were over easy. The Chicken and Chaffles were very good, especially the chicken! Give me a basket of that! The chicken was so moist, juicy, tender, and flavorful. Nicely battered and fried. The chaffles were more like regular (healthy) waffles than cheesy or eggy. Overall, an all right experience. Enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. Comfortable and cozy. Food and drinks were fine. Maybe some adjustments for my preference. Chicken was amazing though! Service was okay. Can't say it was the most friendly or upbeat. Some coffee spillage on floor and table when arrived, but only wiped the floor.. Not a big deal since we have napkins. Maybe I'll come back to try other things. Rise Cafe is truly a health conscious place with better attention to details that's not just fruits and vegetables. read more

Cafe is cute and stylish. Service was great! They have lots of different drinks. I ordered a hot Coconut coffee drink which was delicious, however, it was not hot.

Rise Cafe - Chicken & Waffles - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was excited to see a new cafe open up in the neighborhood. It looks very appealing from the outside and seeing the phrase, "food = medicine" in the front window made me even more curious. I was thinking just how good healthy, nutritious food could be. Well, it was excellent! I started off with a hot mocha, which had a light, sweet flavor with a hint of mocha; very nice. It was not as sweet and syrupy as other cafes. Then I had the loco moco, good choice. The wagyu patty was very tasty topped off with an egg and keto gravy. All blended together nicely and very flavorful. Unlike most times I have a loco moco, this one leaves you feeling good and not stuffed. Seeing the healthy make up of this loco moco, I was extremely surprised and happy with how good it was! My son had the chicken and chaffles, which I had to try after tasting my loco moco. It was also very good and something I would have the next time. Overall, a superb breakfast and lunch spot that I would highly recommend. The service was great, the atmosphere very nice and comfortable. Best tasting "medicine" I've ever had! read more

I ordered the Kamalu Bowl and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful! The cauliflower "rice" was the perfect al dente texture, crispy bacon, egg, avocado, and salsa.

Rise Cafe - Kamalu Bowl (cauliflower "rice", salsa, crispy bacon, pickled onions, egg, avocado) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Work lunch Wednesday was ordered from Rise Cafe. I got the kamalu bowl which was interesting. The cauliflower rice had great flavor and I surprised myself by eating it all. The pickled onions brightened up the dish. My least favorite was the bacon because it wasn't crunchy and tough to chew. Give me a vegetarian option and I'd gladly order it. We didn't have to park but there is the kanji municipal lot on the backside that accepts credit cards. There is also metered stalls along waialae ave. The shop is small but I guess there are stairs to an upstairs with more seating but we didn't go up there. Interior is cute and comfy. read more

Rise Cafe - Kamalu bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My boyfriend wanted to try this place since we were in the area. To be completely honest I was not a huge fan. However, I love the premise of Rise Cafe. The only thing that wowed us was the americano! That was honestly delicious, but the food killed it for us. We thought the portion was small for the crustless quiche (considering price) and the chicken and waffles tasted mediocre. The pancakes tasted a little too doughy and dry, but the chicken was good. It tastes kind of similar to Karage. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back. But if you do happen to go I would recommended their drinks! read more

Quaint little cafe located in Kaimuki. How fitting is it that this health-conscious cafe is right by the park with tennis and basketball ball courts!? They look small from the street level, but they've got a good amount of upstairs seating (albeit cozy) and private restrooms. Their menu, while not extensive, has some nice options. I got the salad flight and a side of bread, while my friend got the back and eggs and a side of waffle. For drinks, I got the hojicha (?) latte and she got a latte. The service was friendly and I think the owner was present. She was quite nice. Offered some health advice, but not pushy at all about it. It is on the pricier side, and it can get loud when busy, but it's healthy keto food. Hoping to see more items in the future! read more

Rise Cafe - Upstairs seating is plentiful and cozy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Friendly service and love the idea it low carb. The owner is a metabolic practitioner and has her office upstairs. She created the restaurant because many of her patients didn't have dining options. People with diabetes, prenatal and post natal care, hormonal and metabolic issues. If a practitioner is willing to open up a restaurant for their patients, you know you'd want them as part of your wellness program. I had the crustless quiche which was delicious and the matcha drink which the name has slipped my mind. I love their display of the amount of sugar is converted in some of the meals we eat. I love the concept and I hope more people stop by to support this restaurant. read more

A cute little spot in Kaimuki! I decided to meet a friend for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. I don't eat keto as often as before but it was a nice change of pace from my usual fare. The seating is a little limited but small spaces like these give me such a homey vibe! They were a little slammed with orders but overall I feel like the wait for food and drinks were very minimal. I ordered a hojicha latte and a brisket bowl with extra barbecue sauce. The hojicha latte was pretty comparable to other cafes but the brisket bowl was the star of the show! It was crazy how tender and flavorful it was, I could barely pick it up with my fork! The barbecue sauce is a little tangier than what you'd expect but I think it's a nice complement to the fattiness of the brisket. The cauliflower rice was perfectly seasoned and had little bits of bacon in it also! Super tasty! I also saw they had chicken and waffles and would love to try it the next time I'm on the island! I will definitely be back! read more

Newest cafe on the block! I'm all about health and as someone who dances and works out a lot, I see myself coming here a lot!

Interior was very clean and inviting. They offer free WiFi, and even upstairs seating, but I prefer the ground floor seating :). Overall a very inviting ambiance. Will definitely bring my friends here to catch up and hang out! Great addition to the neighborhood :) Will be back! read more

Breakfast in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend, Irene, was so excited when she told me about Rise Cafe. She went on Sunday and warned me that it's closed on Tuesdays. I asked her: "Are you telling me to go tomorrow because it's Monday?" She shrugged and said (with a grin), "You're going to like it!" Big hint!!! Of course, I trust Irene. She knows me and understands that I'm trying to avoid eating sugar... because I don't want to take diabetic medication. Rise Cafe is owned by Dr. Jodi, who specializes in Metabolic Health. She's very knowledgeable about nutrition and has an amazing display that shows the amount of sugar in certain foods. Dr. Jodi was very personable and chatted with customers before she went upstairs to meet with patients. Hannah was the cheerful, efficient cashier and server. She was friendly and was able to answer all questions competently! I decided to order the Coconut Wireless (iced espresso with coconut milk and coconut flakes), Tiny Toast (homemade sourdough, toasted with butter), and Salad Flight (curried chicken salad, pink pickled onions, high protein egg salad, and cucumber poke). Everything was beautiful, healthy, and tasty! The environment is calm, cute, and welcoming! There's more seating upstairs if there's no space at the counters or tables downstairs. Most customers parked in the municipal parking lot and entered through the back. I parked on 11th Avenue, next to Subway and was lucky that it wasn't a busy time. Heh heh! I'll be back! read more

Rise up and go to Kaimuki... Love this cute little cafe with only two and a half weeks into their opening that brings more than comfort to your vibe with fresh and yummy brunch items right on 11th Ave with healthier option and wished I had this when I was on a Keto type of diet there wasn't anything like this that's so yummy and delicious. You can find them right on 11th Ave and municipal parking in the back if the metered ones are illusive though remember Sundays are free ;) though there are parking in the front but just a couple of stalls it's worth the effort to bring a healthy start to your day. I already knew it was the Iced Coconut Matcha for me a light and creamy option that wasn't too strong with the Matcha but is very light and refreshing which then the Steak and Eggs was the one as they top it with as the steak is cooked in butter sliced at topped with chimichurri sauce which is so amazing!!! The whole vibe of this place is very calming a welcoming as I love this seating right along the window it was the perfect place to get some work done as well. The staff very friendly as the gentleman was starting his very first day here is sweet, I can certainly see myself here on a regular basis with my drink as they have Hojicha too omg! Healthy eating doesn't have to be bland as here in Rise Cafe it's filled with everything but sugar. Thank you! read more

I ordered the Hojicha tea, and got some work done in the upstairs seating area. The spot is beautiful and a great place to study/work. (There are outlets!) The Hojicha was amazing, very full bodied & nutty. I'll definitely be back, I enjoyed my time here! The staff were so friendly & helpful as well! read more

Rise cafe is like nothing else on our island! This cute cafe is located in Kaimuki and is all about health! Literally! The owner, Dr Jodi Nishida is the best keto doctor! This cafe is everything she stands for, and I am here for it! I had the Mac Nut latte and it was AMAZING! I usually have coffee with a lot of cream and sugar, but this coffee was clean and healthy and the difference I felt from it is amazing! For food, we had steak and eggs and chicken and chaffles. The steak was perfectly cooked and so soft, while the eggs were cooked to perfection and seasoned so well! The chicken and chaffles though...WOW! I've never had chicken like that and the chaffles...I didn't even know what a chaffle was till today, and it was AHHH.MAZING! The ambiance was so peaceful and calming, the food was so good and didn't leave you feeling sick from being overfull because everything you eat there is CLEAN! We will definitely be going back again one day soon! read more

I come here constantly! For the longest time I couldn't find anywhere in town that was "healthy" and actually healthy (the vegan craze is completely out of hand). I basically buy chaffles in bulk to pop in the air fryer on days when I'm rushing to work, and I'm here probably every other day grabbing brisket and cauliflower rice, or a pistachio matcha latte at a minimum. The staff is always super nice, and Kaimuki is a great area. The prices are super reasonable. Honestly, everywhere I eat on island is so overpriced for a product that isn't even that good for you, so coming here and getting a meal that's really worth your money and good for your body is so refreshing. Update: Sadly I am moving off-island, but I spent my last breakfast at Rise, and it was so worth it (as always). Dr. Jodi and Jeff are just the best people ever! I'm going to miss this place so much. You don't have to be keto to enjoy low-sugar, anti-inflammatory food. No matter what your diet usually consists of, come in and give it a try! read more

I can't say enough good things about Rise Café. From the moment you walk in, you feel the care and intention behind everything they do. The staff is genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive--it's the kind of place where you feel valued, not just served. The menu is incredible, especially if you're looking for keto, low-carb, and no-sugar options. Every dish and drink I've tried has been so flavorful and satisfying--you truly wouldn't even guess it's sugar-free and low carb. It's rare to find food that tastes this good while still aligning with a healthy lifestyle. I also really appreciate their thoughtful approach to ingredients, like skipping oat milk and focusing on choices that support better gut health. The café itself is spotless, calm, and inviting, which makes the whole experience even better. What stands out the most, though, is the heart behind the business. The owner is clearly passionate about improving the health and well-being of the Hawaiʻi community. You can feel that this isn't just a café--it's a mission to offer food and drinks that nourish and heal rather than harm. That kind of intention is powerful, and it makes supporting this place even more meaningful. I'm so grateful to have Rise Café here and for everything they're doing to make a positive impact. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food, amazing drinks, and a place that truly cares. Mahalo for what you do!!! read more

We originally wanted to try Moke's that's a few stores down, but they happen to be closed and since we had already parked we decided to stay in the plaza and choose something else so we decided on Rise Cafe. I had the rice brisket and it was actually good. I added two scrambled eggs. I usually like some hot sauce/spice (my Mexican self) in my food and they only had one Tabasco bottle. My boyfriend had the breakfast sandwich, and he said his was good too! The gentleman who helped us at the counter was very nice. For drinks we had two roasted nut coffees, they were definitely STRONG. The downstairs is fairly small but they have upstairs seating as well. read more

I popped in here a few days ago and ordered the Mac nut latte as well as the crustless quiche to go. The service staff was friendly and helpful and my order was provided quickly. I ended up deciding to eat the quiche in person while it was still hot and it was absolutely excellent probably the best quiche I've had actually.!!! I originally ordered to take it to go but it never made it out because I ate it so fast lol And the Mac nut latte was delicious and I could actually taste the coffee versus some places in the heart of Waikiki that is just straight warm milk and a flavored syrup. read more

This is the best brunch I've had in a long time! Everything was simple but flavorful. Very different than your typical brunch menu (ie: pancakes, french toast etc.) I've followed this cafe on Instagram for a while. This cafe is known for providing low carb bites + they do NOT use any inflammatory seed oils + are gluten free! (If you're celiac/know anyone who is celiac, please share! I know some people who suffer from celiac and it is hard to find places to eat that are gluten free) I parked near Good Will (street parking), but you could park in the paid lot if you don't want to walk as far. I ordered downstairs. The girl who took my order was very polite. She articulated well. My food and drink took about 15 minutes to come out. Timely in my opinion since this is REAL food, not fast food. There is upstairs and downstairs seating. It is a very calming and cozy cafe. Not loud like a typical coffee shop/Starbucks. I ordered a Steak and Eggs, and a Pistachio Matcha Latte. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Note: their Pistachio Matcha Latte had actual pistachios in it! Since I got it iced it did harden on the bottom but I ate it anyway haha. Super yummy. read more

Great establishment. We went to Rise Cafe for the first time in early July 2026. You can tell the owners put a lot of love into their food and the restaurant. My partner and I dined in - there is plenty of seating area, and it has a very cozy cafe feel. The front-of-house workers were very kind and patient. We got a coffee, the breakfast sandwich, and the steak and eggs. Their coffee is strong. The breakfast sandwich is pretty filling if you like a sweet-and-savory situation. The steak and eggs are completely worth the price. Anything over $18 can be intimidating in a cafe setting; however, the steak was high-quality, and the chimichurri had so much flavor. I would come back just for the steak and eggs. While we sat and ate on the first floor, had plenty of local people coming through for pick up orders. It was great to see the owner (I believe it is Dr. Nishida) talk story with everyone and so cute for her to check in with some of the older customers. Overall, I would definitely return to this place. If you are passionate about supporting local and female-owned establishments, Rise Cafe is a great place to start off your weekends for breakfast/brunch. Truly get the steak and eggs - and for real, local people, go support local kine people, even if it's just for try some place new :] read more

Finally got to check this place out while visiting, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! I've heard so many great things about Rise, and it definitely has that homey, cozy vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and since I'm not very familiar with keto, they took the time to explain the benefits of the diet in a way that was easy to understand. I left not only with a happy tummy, but also with some new knowledge! I ordered the steak & eggs (but subbed the eggs for avocado) along with the coconut matcha latte. As a big matcha lover, I have to say their matcha was spot on--the flavor was bold but smooth, and the coconut cream complimented it very well. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the chimichurri. The overall experience made me wish we had something like this on the mainland. The combination of great food, warm atmosphere, and staff who genuinely care about both the food and the customer's experience was everything. This will definitely be a go-to stop for me whenever I'm back in town! :) read more

I dabble in going keto on some days, so when my husband found this spot on Yelp to have brunch at, I was down. We parked in the lot with the meters. We didn't see the back entrance from the parking lot. We ended up walking to the street side and entered through the front. The menu is small which is fine by us so we wouldn't have to mull over it too long. The girl at the counter was very informative and friendly. My husband ordered the steak and eggs with chimichurri sauce and I got the Kamalu Bowl with boiled eggs and bacon over cheesy risotto style cauliflower rice. For drinks I got the roasted macadamia nut latte and my husband got the drip coffee. There's tables downstairs and upstairs. We chose to go upstairs. Our food and drinks were brought upstairs when it was ready. Everything tasted great. We literally mopped our plates with no problem. The cheesy risotto style cauliflower rice is something I would want to make at home next time. Coincidentally, Champ Kaneshiro from The Champ Show Hawaii on YouTube came upstairs to film a segment with the owner around the time we were about to leave. We don't live close to Kaimuki, but next time we're in the area we'll be back. read more

I ordered the kamalu bowl and the raspberry matcha. I was hearing good things about this place but unfortunately it was a little underwhelming. The food was ok, nothing special but I probably wouldn't pay $15.99 for it again. The matcha did not have any matcha flavor at all. I got my drink with coconut milk and that is all I could taste. The raspberry jam was very sour and the drink as a whole was not sweet enough for my liking. The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately I will not be coming again. read more

Always delicious keto friendly food. So much to try. I've had the Crustless Quiche in the past and today the Chicken and Chaffles. The chicken oh so tasty, juicy and tender with a delicious coating which will make you hunt down every coating crumb on the plate. I have to come back for the Brisket & Fried 'Rice' in the future. Lots of parking in the lot, cost me $1.50 on a Saturday staying over an hour. If you want free parking there are a few spaces fronting the cafe on 11th Avenue or my favorite is getting a parallel parking space on 10th Avenue next to the park, but don't tell anyone...it's just our secret. Metered street parking is free on Sundays. There are lots of tables and outlets for laptops so get some good food to power your day without the sugar crash of other places with their carby meals. You can also get your food to-go. read more
