Definitely try their signature drinks! The Nero Aroma is blackberry coco mocha, which was delicious - who knew you could mix blackberry and coffee? We also tried the raspberry white coco mocha, but found the flavor was a lot more muted. So if you want something more low-key, the Aroma Amore might be a better option! The Coco Choco is coconut chocolate mocha was also delicious iced

This place was awesome! Sucks that I went there the day they were packing up. Still kept there service and quality to par. There's two other locations and I highly recommend if you want great atmosphere, service, coffee and breakfast. I'm really happy I got to try this place.

Calm, clean, pleasant. Not crowded. Minimal wait. Much better experience than long long line ups and crowds.

Was a really nice place to eat for breakfast, only drawback was the Açai bowl was a bit too frozen, coffee was also a bit too dark for my partners taste. Otherwise everything was fantastic!

Service was cold and slow. Coffee was good. Bagel was out of a package and not fresh. Had to put on my own cream cheese out of a little package.

Delicious food and quick service! Had some great Hawaiian food in Denver and Dallas so was nice finding a new spot in the Richmond area.

This morning I needed my cup of Joe to start my day . Came across this particular Caffe located inside the lobby of the Ohana East hotel . Hawaiian Aroma Caffe prices are very reasonable for Waikiki . They also have a staircase that leads down to the ground level on Kaiulani Ave. The staff here is very friendly and efficient. They also sell Açaí bowls along with breakfast sandwiches, croissants and cereals. Support local

What a great spot for breakfast. We arrived and were greeted quickly, served even more quickly and completed our delicious meal so we could be on our way to the beach. We ordered a coffee and a Bloody Mary. Both were spectacular. We then grabbed the big breakfast meal and a croissant with salad and a fruit bowl. All were amazing. The decor is so cute and the place is very spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly and I would recommend .
Waffles and coffee were okay but nothing special. Waffle was kinda chewy. Service and atmosphere were great.

I went in February 2023.It's a cafe that opens early in the morning, so I went there around 6:30.The shop is on the second floor, so you have to climb up the cute stairs. Many people were taking photos on this staircase.When I entered the store, there were already many customers. I got a seat first and lined up at the register.I ordered the GUAVA waffle, ham & cheese croissant, morning fast, acai bowl, latte, and Americano.Although I can't speak Japanese, the staff was very kind.You go to the counter to pick up your drinks, and the food is brought to your seat.My order was completed around 6:55, and my drink was ready around 7:02, so I went to pick it up.The food was delivered around 7:06am, which was much faster than I expected!The plates were colorful and very cute, and the food was delicious.This is a recommended cafe that I definitely want to visit again.

Such a great cafe! The employees are sweet and give good customer service. We had the breakfast vouchers for this place and it was totally worth it! They have a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian breakfast options. There is a wide variety of coffees and lattes as well. The cafe is conveniently located, and has ample seating.

Wanted to try a new place today and found this place on Yelp. One of several locations this one is located at the Ohana Waikiki East. After climbing a flight of colorful painted steps we looked around and decided our first step was to grab the first table that opened up. The place was busy and full mostly with tourists which we could tell from the style of hair, tats and aloha shirts. I liked the "aloha" vibe which was fun and relaxed with greenery. They serve an assortment of waffles, sandwiches, açaí bowls, baked goods and coffee drinks and smoothies. If you want a traditional bacon and eggs with Portuguese sausage you have one option, The Morning Feast. Otherwise you can get the Sunnyside waffle which my friend got. It comes with eggs, bacon, toast, orange slices and a purple orchid from Thailand to make it look Hawaiian. I was disappointed they did not have the salmon Benedict or any of the Benedicts listed on their menu which they said was only served at a different location. My plan B was the Açaí waffle which like all the other dishes in the photos looked colorful and nicely plated. The little scoop of açaí and berries on top were fine but I was disappointed in the waffle which was slightly undercooked and a little too doughy for me. I like my waffles a little more crisp on the outside and to be able to cut them with a fork. We had to wait a while for the food and my friend was just about getting hangry when it arrived. Maybe they were rushing in the kitchen? Honestly for locals you can get better breakfast for the same price elsewhere especially since parking is $6 for 4 hours WITH validation unless you wanna do other stuff in Waikiki. 4 stars for friendly but short staffed? service 4 stars for fun casual ambiance 3.5 stars for food
