About Hawaiian Island Cafe

The Hawaiian Island Cafe offers flavorful food, including burgers, Asahi bowls, sandwiches, and salads, with good tastes and quick service. The cafe has a bright Hawaiian atmosphere, making it an ideal stop for lunch or a snack on Route 72. The food quality and presentation are highly praised, with popular dishes such as the kalo burger, Acai Bellows Bowl, and loco moco. The staff is friendly and welcoming, often making guests feel like family, and sometimes offering small treats like free dessert. The menu includes vegetarian options, such as a taro burger and veggie melt, and drinks with oatmilk are available for dietary restrictions. Many customers have noted the amazing freshness and authenticity of the food, making it a top choice for those exploring local cuisine. While the interior provides a cute ambiance and good island vibes, it can feel warm, and the bathroom facilities are older and less pleasant. Overall, the delicious food, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere create a positive dining experience that encourages repeat visits.

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.

My daughter and I had the loco moco-delicious. My husband had a chicken quesadilla made with taro tortillas-yum and this is coming from a Mexican. Great customer service. The owner gave us some mango bread-OMG-😋😋😋. We’ll definitely be back-thank you!

Best waffles we ate in the island! The Veggie Slide and pizza were also delicious, and the staff was so so lovely and kind towards us. We asked questions about some of their decorations because we got curious, and they were happy to talk to us so we also came out learning a bit about their culture!!! Overall a very pleasant experience, we will be back! ❤️✨💕
