Honolulu Museum of Art Café

This was probably my third visit to the cafe. I love the casual, relaxed vibe. Five stars to the gentleman who served water and brought our check - he had a very positive attitude. I'll definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely beautiful atmosphere; a great place to relax and share a meal with friends and family. There is art, plants, and a water feature. The restaurant is covered, but open and airy. Ceiling fans keep you cool. The servers are truly wonderful people and made our experience unforgettable. We enjoyed local beer, vegetarian sandwiches, and soup. The food is so flavorful and healthy… we will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed the Cafe. I went off of the prior reviews and was not disappointed. Had the Herbed Chicken sandwich with bacon was delicious. Excellent

The Honolulu Museum of Art Cafe offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely escape. The soft jazz music creates a soothing soundtrack, while the open-air design allows for a refreshing breeze. The air is filled with the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pastries. I particularly enjoyed my Pesto BLT. The cafe's peaceful ambiance made it the perfect place to relax and unwind.

What a delightful surprise to find a PERFECT turkey sandwich in such a gorgeous setting! Don't wait for Thanksgiving leftovers because you won't be able to match this experience. Thickly sliced, moist, tender breast meat, succulent tomato & crisp lettuce between slices of the freshest bread, and generous portions of each ingredient. Then there's the cranberry condiment on the side that you may want to just eat with a spoon! All that would be more than enough for 5 stars, but no, they're going for perfect here. There is also a generous salad of lightly dressed greens with candied walnuts. I mean, come on, how often do you find perfection? Mahalo to the chef & staff 👏

Although we only used it to have lunch at the cafe, we were able to see some parts of the facility. It incorporates elements from other cultures, such as a Chinese-style garden and an Islamic-style garden, and although it's not that large, it feels like you've wandered into a European city rather than Hawaii.

The staff were all friendly, and the security guard told me that it was OK to park on the street in front of the museum on Sundays.

The cafe is open-style with a view of the courtyard, and the breeze blowing through is pleasant. We had steak, salad, sandwiches, and gelato, and all of them were authentic and tasted great.

Everything is five-star except the price. For some of the menu items, I'm not confident that the markup is worth it.

Nevertheless, the service, taste/quality of food and beverage, and atmosphere has always been pleasant.

Other food recommendations would be the chicken sandwich. Delish and filling.

Parking: Park at the HOMA School and venture over to the museum. Parking is $5 cash only for your entire visit 3+ hrs. Lot is uncovered and has an attendant. If you're on Beretania, heading towards museum, enter lot on left side before the School. If you've reached Beretania and Victoria, you've gone too far.

Because I don’t know much about American culture.
Salad is the main dish.
I didn’t know, but I only had burgers and pasta.
Pasta burger is delicious
Looks like I need to make a reservation

Lovely restaurant with wonderful food and the museum is fun too.

We were in between lunch and dinner and wanted to grab a quick bite instead of a full meal before we visited the museum.We ordered a cheese burger and a mezze plate to share among 3 of us. Both items exceeded our expectations, especially the cheese burger. It's very juicy and tasty with plenty of sides - among the best burgers we ever had. Price is also very reasonable considering the high quality of the food.The lady who served us is very nice and professional. We enjoyed the tasteful and pleasant ambience also. Highly recommend!
