50 Best Cafes near Kaneohe

“The chefs here are fab-u-lous! Their love & efforts into the dishes does not go unnoticed. Love the diversity of food ranging from gluten free food, local food to asian, middle eastern, greek... and it tastes Yummy! You would think WCC has a culinary program. Uala Leaf Cafe beats KCC's cafe hands down! Occasionally some of their dishes could use some work. ;-)“

“All the juices are so fresh and delicious! You can customize your drink with no sugar, which I love. And their bobba is very good and not too sweet. They have all the fruit juices, like chico, sour sop, dragonfruit, so many to choose from, I can’t wait to go back, yum!“

“I love the sandwiches and the shakes“

“A cafe I visited after visiting Diamond Head on the weekend
I tried to go to KCC Market, but there were so many people that I couldn't find anything to eat, so I came as an alternative and it was a really good choice.
Ordered the breakfast plate and pineapple juice, which are sold until 10 o'clock.
The plate tasted okay, but the pineapple juice was delicious.
It was so nice to sit and eat in a cool place after trekking.
The Japanese owner is also friendly.
It was near Waikiki, so I probably went there often to drink juice.“

“Edit, Dec 2024:
We had a matcha soft serve on a cone this visit.
Ube and peach were the seasonal flavors available, though almost everyone ordered matcha.

Original, 2023:
Amazingly creamy, lightly bitter matcha soft serve!
We ordered a matcha shave ice with matcha soft serve to share between 2 adults.
Plenty of dessert to go around.

Ice was a tad chunky and crunchy, not super fine.
3 mochi balls and 1 chestnut
A scoop of sweetened red beans
The soft serve was swirled and more matcha powder was sprinkled on top

This matcha shave ice is winning against my previous favorite at Uncle Clay's HOPA.

First week of March 2023: special flavors are Ube and
Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), which can be swirled together.
I would like to try the Ube next time. Sakura sounds pretty good, but Matcha will likely be the favored choice each time.

Staff were extremely polite and pleasant.
Shop doesn't accept cash, you must use a credit card or your phone (payment via Square).

Vegetarian options: All desert items appear to be vegetarian“

“Some of the best food around“

“excellent service, I love the homemade salmon milk, makes the outstanding coffee even more delicious. the blueberry muffins have the a cake like texture that is really satisfying. the lilikoi bars were super delicious, very tart, true to real lilikoi flavor and a very dense and buttery bottom crust. I'm truly satisfied every time I come here. thank you“

“Delicious breakfast, great service.“

“as long as you mind a 30-40 min wait times at times, the wait is worth it. the staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing! they always give my wife a to go ice coffee as we were winding down our check. my two favorites were there loco moco, and the very berry french toast“

“Best shave ice we found on Oahu. We walked from the zoo end every night just for Lahaina shave ice. Made the mistake of trying a different place one night and quickly learned our lesson. Hands down the only place to go“

“Good conversations nice ambience“

“Excellent coffee made by a beautiful lady named Kat! Please ask for Kat to make your coffee here! Her hands have a special touch and you can tell she’s knowledgeable about the basics. You can tell she takes pride when making coffee. So far I’ve had a couple of hot lattes & cappuccinos by her, and they always taste marvelous. Kai Fresh, you have a gem!

Support local Hawai’i businesses!“

“Very pretty contemporary coffee shop & bar with a lot of seating available and long hours. Friendly attentive staff works hard with all the foot traffic from Waikiki strip right around the corner. My cortado was very good…not amazing, served only in to-go cups, the seating inside is stylish but loud music gives off a bar-type vibe, difficulty parking & no outlets or restrooms for use… 4.5/5

Parking: Waikiki, what’d you expect…?“

“I like the atmosphere Great cappuccino, cushions on the bench is a nice touch“

“So much fun!!! The girls and I had a blast and have gone before and will go again!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“Found this by accident, what a beautiful place to spend some time amd enjoy the food“

“This is hands down the best scones I’ve had. My mom and I always go to tea houses and we are scone experts! What I love about the owner (Jessica) is the love and expertise she puts into each flavor. The texture of the scone is perfect. The outside is firm but not crunchy and the inside is moist but the perfect scone consistency. They are not too sweet. Just sweet enough. With every bite the scone’s taste develops more and more. My favorites are the UBE & the LEMON CREAM CHEESE SCONE. I also order the Japanese cheese cake when I go. It is spongy and not too filling. And my trip to Bits & Bites visit is only complete with my favorite TIRAMISU LATTE, whole milk, topped with their home made cheese foam! Perfection!

Go early because she usually sells out before 3pm.“

“Wonderful and friendly. The waffles are some of the best I’ve ever had. The Kailua Pork Quesadilla was amazing as well. Manu was so friendly and after a nice conversation he gave a little speech and blew the conch as a blessing for our recent marriage.“

“Delicious food (fries are amazing!), staff was friendly and helpful! Cute place!!“

“Love this place! Classic old style and great budget food!“

“Best breakfast I've had anywhere in some time“

“Get the Spicy Masala Chai tea.... yum 😋.“

“I would give 10 stars if possible. upon entering insomnia we were greeted by the two people working with so much enthusiasm & kindness that I would come back just to be greeted by them alone (im assuming they’re the owners but not entirely sure). they suggested an iced Vietnamese coffee if we needed a lot of caffeine, we agreed & the coffee was so strong & so tasty! my daughter ordered a strawberry smoothie & it was great as well. while we enjoyed our drinks I listened to them greet a few other customers who came in, & it made my heart so full. the people here are incredibly caring & so kind. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“First acai bowl
It was this store. delicious.
The store is full of customers
It was difficult to secure a seat.
kimchi fried rice,
diamond head sand
I got some lemonade
All delicious.“

“It is very delicious and fresh and the combination that one needs The best El mejor que he probado“

“Great Food with a European influence of France and Spain. Cozy atmosphere and the Chef ZZ is very talented with many years of experience. It’s a little hidden gem and has elevator parking for your car in the back of the building or you can park in the Walmart lot. I very much recommend this place.“

“This place is Japanese vegan fusion 🤘🤘🤘off the hook🤘🤘🤘“

“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.“

“Nice meeting you today! Good job on bake goods.“

“I had lunch with a friend and her daughter in this cute little cafe in the design center.

The food is fresh, clean, and came in perfect portions. My 2 year old daughter loved the salmon and fresh veggies it as well as the corn soup with crab. But what we loved most about this place was the desert selection!!!

Oh how my daughter’s eyes sparkled when she saw the showcase of over 20+ varieties of mini cakes!!
Ofcourse, she chose the pink colored cake which to my surprise was azuki bean cream. I chose a chocolate shell dome with marron (chestnut) and rum mouse filling. Both rare flavors and delicious!! The deserts are great because they are not overly sweetened and cater to a foreign tongue!! Unfortunately deserts were devoured so I didn’t get a photo.

My daughter now dreams about going back and having desert. We will be back soon! .

Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available, this food is great for kids who can eat variety of food. I just shared my plate with my daughter.

It’s a rather quiet relaxing cafe atmosphere, so make sure you bring activities so your children can enjoy lunch with the adults! The center has plenty of space for children to stretch their legs.“

“I have visited the Haleiwa location multiple times and it just hits the spot for unique gelato flavors! I also highly recommend any of the crepes ... and of course, the Ube Mochi waffle!!! Staff friendly and attentive and the place is kept very clean. Definitely worth a stop if you need to pick up a pint of gelato for a family dinner too. ;)“

“Love their coffee design machine! Breakfast sandwiches were great, and the service was as well. Cute little spot.“

“Reliably good, reasonably priced (cold and hot) sandwiches, soups, and salads including leafy greens and pasta salads. Friendly and efficient service, too. The combos are a nice deal - I like getting a soup + salad or soup + sandwich. They also cater my office's meetings quite often; they can cater both breakfast (pastries and breakfast sandwiches, plus coffee) and lunch (mostly sandwiches for us). Some of my coworkers have said some of their catered sandwiches a bit boring after a while, so you may consider specifically requesting the types of sandwiches you prefer.“

“Got a simple black sesame drink while my friend got a matcha one! Super friendly service and a really cute shop! Would recommend to those looking for a drink pick-me-up if you're in the Aloha Tower area
