26 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Honolulu

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.“

“This was one of the best Customer service experiences I have had since living in Hawaii. Today was my 30th birthday and they made me feel so special. The food was amazing and they put a candle on my waffles. Even when we were leaving one of the employees or owners came out after my friend and I and said happy birthday again. I cannot express how wonderful this place was! The food was amazing and my friend and I will be returning! Newest favorite brunch place! Thank you waffle and berry!“

“We LOVEEEEE Egghead Cafe!!! Every time we come in they are so friendly, welcoming of my little ones, and quick! I've never had anything bad. Their coffee is delicious, my favorite is Tiramisu Latte! Definitely visit, it will be worth it!“

“Sunny’s was an awesome find for breakfast. The servers are so nice and the food was awesome. I had the avocado toast - so good. Lots of variety and healthy meals. I would highly recommend this spot.“

“Tasty breakfast, friendly service and would return if we were not leaving island. Got blueberry pancake breakfast with fried eggs and crisp turkey bacon.

We had been coming nearly every day and the place was closed so we were confused about the operating hours which said only open on Thursdays, with a confusing hours pic on a review that said closed only on Tue. The owner clarified that they were on vacation the last 2 weeks (it’s 31 Oct 2024). But they ARE closed only on Tuesdays now that they are back. Hooray! Mahalo.“

“Absolutely delicious, best breakfast wrap I’ve ever had!“

“Here!!!! It’s really delicious!! I happened to go for brunch because of the toasted bagels and the buttery smell of croissants, and my parents loved it too! The owner is Korean, so he's friendlier, ordering is easy, and the coffee is delicious.
I plan to visit again during my trip!!“

“A family owned and run diner that I look forward to coming back to again and again! The wait staff remember you and bring delicious food with a smile on their face. Always delicious and always served promptly. One of those places that you hope to find!“

“everything was delicious and very friendly staff!“

“Awesome food and wonderful people“

“Love this place. My wife and I always come here to reward ourselves after running up Manoa Falls trail.

The crepes and sandwiches are delicious and very affordable. My favorite is the chunky monkey, but the waffles are also incredible.

The staff there (Kelia, Nicole and Amber) is also very welcoming and friendly. ?????“

“Small little joint, not too far from the airport or the Aloha stadium. Food was great and came out super quick. She suggested if we were sharing to cut back since portions are a good size. Second time here and Food was great both time. The French toast are to die for!“

“You have to try the chunky monkey! It was the most refreshing smoothie I've had since being here Their pink pancakes were really good and not over filling ? Our waitress was very helpful with the fruit platter. There is plenty to share at the table and if you want bananas they can add them.“

“The Pagoda Floating Restaurant, situated next to the Pagoda hotel, earns my 4-star rating primarily for its attractions, service, and specials. I was drawn here by the koi pond attraction, which didn't disappoint. The fact that they offer breakfast, available on weekdays until 11 am and weekends until 12 pm, was a definite plus. The outstanding service truly made my day, with the attentive staff offering water and tea multiple times and assisting with all my needs. Guests staying at the hotel receive a voucher for a special waffle dish, and there's also a unique ox tail soup on the menu. While I enjoyed the distinctive coconut pancakes, I wasn't a fan of the pineapple papaya jam. I appreciated that it was served on the side. The omelet had good flavor but was slightly overcooked, and the different style of potatoes was a nice touch. We were even able to get cups of brown pebbles to feed the fish, adding to the overall experience. The ambiance was quiet, with a comfortable number of diners present.

Overall, I had a positive experience and I would consider returning in the future.“

“I came here by renting a bicycle on my way back from the market. I saw some reviews on Google about something like Dutch Baby, so I came here to try it out, but I was disappointed to find that it wasn't available. When I was confused about the menu, a friendly staff member handed me a menu in Japanese! The food is delicious and the portions are large! The orange juice was also delicious! The service was also great!“

“The place to go for roast pork for me mini roast pork hold da rice all Mac“

“What an amazing breakfast experience. You must be military affiliated to enter. The food was great and the service was amazing as was the atmosphere. It’s hard to beat an early morning breakfast buffet with a view of the sunrise and ocean. Cost was around $26 per person.“

“We ordered breakfast: coffee, the BLT, roadhouse potatoes, and the royal Hawaiian breakfast. It was an overwhelming amount of food. Outstanding food everything was delicious. This is the best hidden Jem in Oahu! Prices are good too! Worth coming to and beautiful views. Staffwas the kindest we have had here in hawaii!“

“The only reason this deserves 4 stars is because I got to eat here for free. Expect a typical hotel breakfast, but with more meat and fresh fruit options. The way they work this restaurant is like a buffet, and sometimes you'll have to wait upwards of 15 minutes to get a table depending on how many people there are. Everything tasted alright (the muffins stole the show), however the eggs were watery and the bacon was inconsistent between days. Probably not worth the 20+ dollars you'd have to spend to eat here.“

“This place has THE BEST honey toasts. Great customer service and there are also super cute decorations! I came here with my friend and we ordered the honey toast, Vanilla ice cream dream toast with chocolate sauce, Oreo cookie, pocky sticks and sprinkle sugar powder with raspberry. They also have varieties of tea you can choose from. Everything is so refreshing here. You won’t want to miss out on these treats, the next time you’re here!“

“Servers were very personable. Order came quickly and served to perfection.“

“hot fresh tasty food fast!“

“Excellent food and service provided by our server Ruel C. Delicious coffee one of few places where I can drink it black. I will definitely be back. Please keep up the good work and service. God Bless.“

“Our food was awesome, our server was spectacular, the entertainment was very good will go back again!!!“

“First time at IHOP Hawaii and had a fantastic experience. Our server Kapeka was helpful and professional. Would come back again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Waikiki. Thanks!“

“The place looks amazing inside, like something out of a fairy tale, and the food is delicious.

I’d recommend trying the French toast or any of their egg dishes. The staff is friendly and attentive, though they do ask that you don’t take photos inside :/“
