This morning 10/8/26 one of your lovely female servers w/glasses showed my disabled daughter compassion. I hope she knows how lovely it was witnessing the interaction.
My husband, daughter and I went to breakfast this morning using our complimentary breakfast vouchers. Our daughter is diagnosed w/level 3 severe autism. She is nonverbal and was vocalizing by shrieking/grunting. At first the server was startled. Understandably so. She looked over and then looked away.

Great service from host John. Delicious food and a free coffee! You can’t go wrong here I’d definitely recommend trying it out!
There was only two ladies working there when we went so it took a little while to get our table and order food, however, the wait time for our food was not bad. I got the ube pancakes and they were delicious! It was good, but I wouldn’t come back.

Ilima Café is a charming and laid-back breakfast spot located inside the Waikiki Resort Hotel, making it a great alternative to busier, crowded restaurants nearby. Known for its friendly service, the smiling waiters are kind and show compassion. The café offers large portions, which can be shared, and features delicious food. A favorite dish is the papaya boat with granola and berries, loved for its freshness and taste. The ube pancakes are delicious, and Steak, 2 eggs is an April special.
The atmosphere is relaxed, providing a chill vibe perfect for a peaceful morning. Many guests appreciate that there is no long wait, though it can take a little while to get a table and order food. The café’s prices are slightly higher than other places, but the quality, quick service, and quiet environment make it worth it. Overall, Ilima Café is regarded as a hidden gem for breakfast in Waikiki, ideal for those looking for good food, friendly service, and a relaxing start to the day.
