Chelsea is Bomb! The service is best ive found. We keep coming back to this whole in the wall because we cant stop thinking about how special it is to have found such an excellent spot with So Much Aloha! Everything we have ordered has been delicious and healthy. Plenty gluten free/dairy free options and even left with a sugar free/caffeine free juice/tea for my daughter who WACKED it! We highly recommend. Casual environment. Everyone is welcome read more

This cafe is a real whole in the wall location. A little bit hard to find at first, but very worth going to. Food is good, drinks are so refreshing and pleasing to look at. What makes this place really stand out and special is, Chelsea. She really genuinely cares about every person who comes to visit and connects with her customers creating a very enjoyable relaxing environment to hang out. read more

Chelsea made our experience absolutely wonderful! From the moment she greeted us, we could tell she was someone who genuinely cared about the service she provided. We immediately felt like we were going to enjoy our time there, whether the food was going to be good or not, lol. Thankfully, it was! We ordered the Orange Chicken, a poke bowl, and a couple of the infused teas with lemonades, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend! The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and inviting. The location is a little interesting, but it's definitely worth the hunt! Once you spot the flag on the corner of the building, you'll know you're in the right place--you just have to look for it. Most importantly, Chelsea made us feel so welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. We honestly haven't had service that good in a LONG time. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our experience so enjoyable! We'll definitely be back! read more

Sweet Corner Cafe - Chocolate Drizzled Croissant - Comfort Food Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

For about a year, I have consistently patronized the Sweet Corner Cafe but haven't submitted a review yet Here is my review. The roasted chicken - requires 20 minutes to prepare - gyoza (chicken or beef) and the orange chicken are deliciously delectable, and are my favorites. The fried noodles (no bacon is available) are the perfect accompaniment to the aforementioned entrees. Rice is also available. Chelsea is extraordinary at providing consistent superior customer service. She never fails to greet customers promptly and kindly. Chelsea wears many hats as the greeter, server, barista and overall front of house manager. It can be extremely busy, but Chelsea hustles and does her absolute best. So bring your appetite and a dose of patience. Online ordering is a great option. On your initial visit it may be difficult to find, but the discovery is well worth the hunt. It can be daunting to find the entrance, walk through a corridor and netting. But don't be deterred nor frustrated. I highly recommend trying the Sweet Corner Cafe. Say hello to Chelsea for me. read more

Sweet Corner Café in Oahu was absolutely incredible. We ordered all gluten free items, and everything was perfect. The orange chicken was crispy, flavorful, and coated in the perfect sauce. The coconut shrimp was amazing, and the tempura chicken was so good that you would never guess it was gluten free. We also had the pineapple sausage, gluten free fried rice, and locally sourced organic eggs, and every single item was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Chelsea, our waitress, was on top of everything from start to finish. She was funny, kind, and very educational when explaining the food items and their preparation processes. After running a half marathon today, I was exhausted, and Chelsea genuinely lifted my spirits. It is rare to find gluten free food this good, especially fried items with such great texture and flavor. Sweet Corner Café exceeded every expectation.

We searched Yelp for a good coffee and gluten free place. I was intrigued with the great reviews Sweet Corner Cafe got. The location sounded less than desirable but I really wanted to try this place out. It really wasn't that difficult to find if you know it's in an industrial area. Menekune water facility is close by. Once you find the address and park. You walk around back and go past a youth basketball court. It's kinda like going to have dinner at a friend's house. Definitely doesn't look like a restaurant. There's not alot of space inside and it's very basic. We were greeted by a high energy server named Chelsea. She explained everything on the menu quickly in great detail. There's tons of gluten free options. We ordered an ice coffee, matcha lemonade , fried rice and baked chicken. Everything was delicious. Chelsea even gave us a lemonade to go. The service was amazing. Everything is sourced locally and fresh. Definitely will be back. read more

I have gluten, soy, and dairy allergies, and stumbled upon Sweet Cafe on a Yelp search. I called ahead and found that they do have gluten free, dairy free, and soy free items on their menu. Score! We used Waze and it lead us directly to the location which seemed a little hidden, but we saw signs so it wasn't too hard. We were greeted by Chelsea and I felt safe to eat there. She let me know what items I could have on the menu. We ordered the orange chicken, fried rice, bubble waffle, poke & spring rolls. Afterwards, I learned that there was edamame in the spring rolls which isn't soy free. But I was happy to be able to eat well with the rest of the items we have ordered, which we shared the items with our party of 5. The cafe is a little small, but I was nice and cozy. It was pretty busy for lunch, but Chelsea was still energetic and always with a smile. Everything we ate was great and delicious! Thank you Chelsea for taking care of me and my family, and I loved the complimentary drink. I can't wait to visit here again when I come back to Hawaii. read more

Always love the food and service! Mahalo Chelsea for your hard work and sincerity! First time trying the Gluten Free Orange Chicken. They use tapioca powder for the batter. It's Excellent! Beef Gyoza and Szechuan noodles is always my go-to favorite. Iced Teas are a Must-try! MAHALO! read more

This place is the epitome of a hidden gem, mom-and-pop spot! + Food: I came for the egg tarts, but they have a wide range of stuff on their menu: from main dishes, to desserts, to lemonades and milk tea. The egg tarts were great, 8/10: great fillings, but the bottom was a bit soft. They were freshly baked tho which I really appreciate!! + Space and service: Amazing service! She was super sweet and even gave me a lemonade for the wait. It's a small restaurant with some seatings. Not too hard to find, just follow the signs downstairs. Plenty of street parkings. read more

Lunch in Aiea, Hawaii... If you're good at following GPS directions, you'll be able to find Sweet Corner Cafe. It's located deep in the industrial area of Halawa Valley - across from Menehune Water. Note: I've wanted to visit ever since I read Glen's Review of the Day (ROTD)! I parked on the steep driveway, right at the entrance to the building. After walking down a hallway, I found the cute café with the helpful signs. Chelsea was the very friendly, efficient server. She showed me the menu online, explained everything, and was a good conversationalist. I ordered the Matcha Lemonade which came in a BPA-free reusable bag. It was on the sweet side, so I added some water. I needed hydration anyway! My lunch was the Spring rolls, fried in avocado oil. They didn't seem greasy at all, but we're crunchy! The baby spinach was locally grown and fresh! The Portuguese Egg Tart had a flakey crust and dense filling. It was a nice dessert! As I was leaving, Chelsea gave me a complimentary bag of Hibiscus Lemonade. It was refreshing! Thank you! read more

Sweet Corner Cafe - Comfort Food Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

So sweet corner is an experience. It's not for everyone, but it definitely has a following due to their relatively large gluten free menu and friendly service. My friend who is gluten free wanted me to join her for breakfast one morning. I thought she was joking when she told me where it was and thankfully she met me on the street and we walked in together. It's eclectic in a weird way and there are a lot of cats In the area. It was easy enough to find street parking, which I would recommend because the driveway down to the parking lot is steep steep. The lady who runs the place, I think her name is Chelsea, is super friendly. She is on a first name basis with my friend and stops to ask questions and listen. The menu is kind of Chinese, but there are a lot of non Chinese things too. I ordered the waffle and chicken. It was interesting. Not bad, and I liked the waffle a lot. My friends got the coconut shrimp with fried noodles and the orange chicken with fried rice. I totally get that it's hard to find gluten free restaurants and that this place is catering to the gluten free community. It's nice. For me, I don't think it was the best food I've ever had, but I appreciated the friendly service and I liked my drinks a lot. I had the Hong Kong style milk tea and one of the lemonades. They were both served in a cool reusable bag that we were encouraged to take home and reuse. I definitely want to come back to try the egg tarts. I read in someone's review that the owners are from Macau. I kind of wish they offered the fusiony Portuguese rice dishes from Macau I've had only a couple times and crave soooo much. It's a cool experience, just be prepared to wait awhile for food. read more

Small place but service is friendly and fast. Parking is also limited. It was a full house and it's because it's good food and friendly service. It all worked out well. This was our first time here. Everyone was vibing even if it was a small place. We will be back for more. read more

The manager of this little, tucked-away cafe is super-duper nice and really does go above and beyond to make her customers feel welcomed and appreciated. The portions are are massive and the food is very hearty. I can't recommend this locally-owned cafe enough. Their menu is largely gluten-free. read more

Love the vibes! The food is soooooooo good. The service is the best! 11/10 definitely come here

My husband stopped here to grab food for himself and our toddler, and from the second he walked in, he was greeted by the friendliest staff! The auntie working there actually took the time to get to know him and was just so incredibly sweet and welcoming. My two-year-old ate her ENTIRE meal--which, if you have a toddler, you know is basically the highest compliment a restaurant can get! She had the fried rice, and my husband got the orange chicken. Everything was super delicious and full of flavor! It was a little difficult to find, but I'm telling you, TAKE THE TIME TO FIND THIS GEM! The food is amazing, the staff is even better, and we will absolutely be back. Places like this deserve all the support! it's a little behind menehue water company if you are looking for this place. read more

Food was amazing and staff was incredible! Honestly the nicest person I think we have ever met. You can tell they take pride in their food and you can taste it in every bite. Highly recommend going here! It is a little hidden and down a small ally so keep your eyes peeled for the signs! Very much worth it! read more

Great service, great food, location was slightly hard to find but flavor and drink selection makes up for it

This place is unbelievable. It is worth taking time to go out of the way to try it. Delicious food and amazing service. When you arrive go down the driveway and it is to your left. It is certainly a hole in the wall but not one to be missed!!! Get the Portuguese tarts!! read more

The ice teas and coffee are very addicting. So far we had fried noodles,orange chicken,chocolate croissants, Portuguese sausage and eggs,pineapple sausage and eggs, and gyoza which were delicious. Chelsea is a bubbly server that made you feel comfortable for first time customers. I'm sure she treats everyone equally for repeat customers too. I am still figuring out why they stay in this location. They could be upgraded, serve more than five tables and the customers would not have to listen to barking dogs ( dog boarding downstairs). I will return for a take out next: try their chicken plate and Portuguese tart. read more

Its like a hole in the wall simple restuarant,...delicious food, service was awesome!!!,..need to come here breakfast/lunch!!

We love finding cute hidden gems around Hawaii and this is definitely one of them. This place is a literal hole-in-the-wall cafe in the back of Halawa serving some delicious comfort foods and drinks. Highly recommend trying the fried noodles but they have fresh poke bowls too which we will try the next time They are practically a one man show with Chelsea, the owner, running around with 3 chefs cooking in the back. So please be patient and kind because she was the sweetest person ever! I think out of everything we ate, we loved the house fried noodles the best. read more

Incredible Takeout, Generous Portions & the Sweetest Service! We ordered takeout from Sweet Corner Café while in Honolulu, and it was hands down one of the best food experiences we've had on the island! Everything was packed with care, still fresh and hot when we got home, and absolutely delicious. The real highlight of our visit was our server, Chelsea. Even though we weren't dining in, she treated us like VIPs; incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely warm. She even surprised us with a free to-go drink, which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture. It's rare to find that kind of service, especially with takeout! As for the food , WOW. The house-made noodles were beyond delicious with the perfect texture and flavor. The gluten-free orange chicken was crispy, zesty, and one of the best we've ever had (gluten-free or otherwise). The roast chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite tasted homemade and full of love. The portion sizes were good and we easily had enough for leftovers the next day. If you're in Honolulu and looking for incredible food, generous portions, and service that truly stands out, do yourself a favor and check out Sweet Corner Café. Whether dining in or taking out, they go above and beyond! read more

Amazing food and even more amazing service. I have never felt more like a family member comiNG over for dinner than I did at this restaurant. Chelsea made me feel like I was like a long lost cousin that she hadn't seen in a while and she was over the moon that I was there. And the food! Best dry noodles I have ever had. The gyoza was amazing and that orange chicken!! An orange chicken with a crunch to the breading - I mean wow!! Definitely recommend!! It was everything I wanted from a 5 star restaurant. Small and quant but with food and service that far exceeds what a typical restaurant offers. read more

Went on a Saturday morning, a much more successful hunt for the place than a weekday when my son and I tried to find it. There was parking available because the place is nestled among many industrial warehouse type of businesses. When we went on a weekday, we couldn't find a parking spot. When we got there (make your way down the driveway) and walk through the hall. You might be greeted by Chelsea who was the nicest one-woman front of the store person ever. She sat us down asked for everyone's names. She gave us their menu to take a look at their offerings on a laptop. I thought that was cool. They had one area to seat about 14 people or so. It's small. But, it was well lit and clean. I wish they had a better spot, but I think that's what makes them endearing. I bet during the week they fill a lot of take-out orders. We had the waffle and chicken, their fried rice, fried noodle with gyoza, and pineapple sausage and an extra order of the bubble waffle. All pretty yummy. We were happy to have found the place and try their food. read more

I went on a Sunday. At first i was like where is this cafe? There was a gym with kids playing basketball ball. Parents sitting under a big tent. Thank goodness there was a cute sign. The stairs going down was kind of scary, than through a door, down a hall way and on the right is the cafe. We were greeted by an awesome lady! Her customer service was amazing! We fell in love with her! I forgot what her name is but we love love love HER! The FOOD and DRINKs are GOOD too. I cant wait to go back ! I drank the PEA and Espresso drink!

10/10 on the chicken and waffles, 10/10 on the orange chicken, 10/10 on the pink lemonade and the purple lemonade, 10/10 fried rice, and 1000/10 on the Portuguese tarts. The Portuguese tarts were insane. I ate these in Lisbon, Portugal and something similar in Paris last summer, they don't even compare. If this place scales, coco-puffs better watch out. Overall the quality of food is very high. You probably can't go wrong with any dish here. Food service from Chelsea was exceptional. Chelsea is not like anyone I've ever met before. She has a superpower for people. Ambiance is interesting. You get the feeling that you're lost and then when you find the place, it's a nice little spot to enjoy a nice meal. Looking forward to seeing this restaurant grow into something more and potentially expand. If not, put this up there with the heavy hitter mom and pops restaurants all around O'ahu. read more

Sweet Corner is a unique dining establishment located in the industrial area of Halawa. The cafe is within barking distance to a pet kennel and they also sometimes have their pet cat hanging out in an enclosure in the dining room. Expect to wait a bit as there is only 1 server/cashier/barista, Chelsea and her mom, the cook. All of the food was tasty and had that home cooked comfort. Many dishes came with rice, but you could opt to sub greens. My faves were the ahi and tofu poke dishes. The ahi was fresh and tender, each sauce had great flavor. Portions were family shareable. Many hot and cold coffee and tea options to accompany your meal. Dessert offerings included a crisp bubble waffle and croissant all topped with your choice of honey, whipped cream, chocolate, or caramel. read more
