The waffles are amazing and were made especially the way I liked them! I like my waffles pretty plain but they have a large assortment of fresh toppings to choose from. But most especially, it's the people that kept me coming back day after day during my two week trip in Hawaii.

Average waffles. Expensive. Staff were just awful. Talk about unpleasant. Also... they were giving cookies for 5 star reviews....

Awesome breakfast spot in Honolulu. The waffles are crispy, the fruit is fresh & delicious and the ice cream combination with the waffles is amazing! A must stop!

The customer service here was exceptional ?? it’s difficult to handle customers day in and day out but this crew is 5 ⭐️ I was worried it was going to be too sweet of a place and unhealthy options but their açaí bowl is ZERO fillers just pure açaí and it’s DELICIOUS! I got that w a side of waffle and their waffle had a yummy flavor no need for any syrup in my opinion. They do have plenty waffles fully loaded w berries and ice cream and whatnot but I’m thankful they do have a healthy option. They have a topping table where you can add whatever you like to your plate like shredded coconut, granola, chia seed, etc. over all great experience. The business is upstairs and seating is outside which is lovely.

Amazing. I usually don't write reviews but this place was fantastic! Great options, lots of flexibility and very generous portion sizes. The most important thing, the food is delicious. You can tell the owner's goal is to provide a top class experience with the best hospitality and it shows in my opinion. I am definitely going again at least one more time before my vacation ends.

This place is fantastic for a wonderful dinner. The people are very friendly and helpful with the menu. The view is great while you eat.

If you are a waffle lover, yes, just go! -10 minute walk from the Hilton (you need a walk after eating here!) -plenty of outdoor seating -1/2 order is plenty for one So nice to get away from the busy streets of Waikiki (The acai bowls looked super good, but couldn't pass the splurge of waffles & ice cream on vacation!)

What a great idea! Waffles, berries, kiwi, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream! It was spectacular and tasted wonderful! Very filling and the 2 of us should've shared it.

The waffles are awesome. The order is enough for two. Fresh fruits and great coffee. No types of meats. Covered outdoor seating on the second floor. Safe area. Reasonable price for Honolulu. Better when sharing. Would recommend and eat hear again.

We found this gem of a cafe during our recent stay in Waikiki, and made it a staple of our breakfast routine with four different visits. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the outdoor second floor patio was ideal for dining, and the breakfast options were perfect. The açai bowls were our favourite, with lots of fresh fruit, pure açai, and a selection of garnishes available as add-ons. We sampled the waffle options as well, and they left us full for much of the day. A perfect way for a healthy start to anyone’s day!

On a recent work trip to Honolulu, I decided to try Waffle and Berry for breakfast one day. I went with the full size Berries and Cream. The fruit was very ripe, the waffle was light and airy and who can’t get behind some ice cream for breakfast? The portion size was so big I probably could have gone for the half but either way, I walked away from the meal very happy.

Extremely generous servings served by the kindest staff! We visited a couple of times during our visit to Honolulu. Waffle & Berry is our reason to go back!

This was SO good. Big enough to share but we didn't know. I ordered peanut butter and banana waffle. My husband ordered an acai bowl and my daughter order berries and cream. All were delicious. You add your own toppings at no extra cost. Bottled water is free if you ask. Staff was fast and friendly. I wish it hadn't been our last stop. We would definitely go again.

Delicious waffles were more like cake, with fresh berries and fruit, and two huge scoops of ice cream or acai sorbet. Free coffee and a bottle of water. Very friendly staff. Walk-up counter service. Very inexpensive. Coming back here!

This place is a hidden gem inside a place called “The Test Kitchen”. From the outside it’s hard to tell there are about 4 little places to choose from. Our first night we went to go to the poke place and then we spotted Waffle and Berry, so we thought we would try it out later for dessert. The very nice man who runs this little place was so kind and gave us a sample of some berry ice cream. So on our last night in town we decided to go back. We ordered the chocolate chip waffle with bananas, ice cream, whip cream and chocolate sauce! OMG what a treat! It was one of the best waffles I’ve ever had. If you visit Waikiki, please check this little place out. One order of this dessert can easily feed 4 people. On top of that the same man that gave us a free sample of ice cream, gave us a complimentary bottle of cold water and a fizzy lemonade, which was also very refreshing. If I ever return to Waikiki this will be my number one stop!
