Hiking Hawaii Cafe

We found this place because the restaurant around the corner we were planning to go to had a huge line! I am so glad that happened because this place is a hidden gem! Lots of seating and although the menu was not huge we received an excellent welcome from the gentleman at the counter, and the food and lattes we ordered were fantastic!

A cozy cafe located in the Doubletree in Waikiki, Hiking Hawaii was a great find for gluten free breakfast options. I got a breakfast burrito in gluten free tortillas, my wife (celiac) got the avocado toast on gluten free bread. Both were big portions and tasted fantastic. The coffee was also delicious, and came in giant glasses brought out with our food by the server, who I'd guess was also the owner and cook, as she was working her butt off that day! They also had açaí and smoothie options that we didn't sample, but looked quite tasty.

Great breakfast place! Husband had a breakfast burrito and loved it. I had the 3-egg omelette with gluten free toast. Only one slice so that was a slight disappointment but it's a very nice option for us celiac folks! We beat the morning rush so service was quite fast but it's clearly a popular spot. Iced Cocoa Mocha and iced Mexican Mocha were both amazing.

Some places here have the longest wait and the food turns out mediocre anyway. This morning I walked in here and it was basically empty at 1030a on a Saturday, I was skeptical -- it can't be that good if there isn't a line out the door, right? Turned out being the best breakfast I've had so far on the island. I don't like a huge breakfast of waffles and pancakes that's going to make me feel bloated and tired like I want to go back to bed, so usually look for eggs/ omelet. Their 3 egg scramble was better than any omelet I've had here, I got one of their green juices which was made fresh on the spot. Just what I was looking for.

Cafe with great food and good vibe. Hidden next to the entrance of Doubletree by Hilton, this Cafe is easy to miss. The Cafe offers a wide variety of specialty lattes, juices and smoothies. They have plenty of food options as well. I had a Nutty Haole Coffee and a Thai Chicken wrap. The coffee was hot and chocolatey and most importantly, served in a coffee cup and not the disposable takeout cups. The Thai chicken had a good balance of chicken, greens and the spicy peanut sauce.
