Cafe Kaila

Top choice in Honolulu


This place at the top of Kapiʻolani Blvd racks up best breakfast gold medals in local culinary awards. Expect to queue to get in for the legendary lineup of incredibly well presented breakfast specials. All the beauty is on the plate (the pancakes!) – the dining room is pure utility.
