This is a review of the banquet facility. Attended a banquet held in the courtyard. It was beautifully lit, with comfortable space for the appetizers during cocktail hour. The menu offered was excellent, I highly recommend the lobster bisque as well as the braised Short rib. The bar prices for alcohol were reasonable but for some reason soft drinks were noticeably overpriced, they allowed both cash and credit. Street parking was available nearby or down the block near the post office.

Cafe Julia is a stunning venue for wedding celebrations! It is easily accessible, located in the heart of Honolulu, the cafe offers a unique setting to exchange vows and celebrate with friends and family.
The staff's attention to detail ensures an unforgettable experience. We always have a great time shooting at this venue!
We got married here November16/2022. We booked it few months earlier during the summer, and I have to say the experience was nothing less than wonderful! Communication was prompt and timely during business hours from Elijah. He was very kind, professional and accommodating. He followed every detail and answered all our questions. The venue is beautiful!!! The food and service (we had the buffet option) was reasonably priced and great! We will definitely be recommending this place to everyone!
Atmosphere is really cute and the food was decent. I didn't think such a cute place would be in downtown. Parked in the same block at Alii towers and for 2 hours it was about $3.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Cafe Julia in August of this year, and we can't say enough good things about this venue! Elijah, the manager, was incredible to work with- he was kind, reasonable, and answered my questions efficiently and in a timely manner. The rest of the staff was professional and polite the day of the event and made sure the two of us and our guests had everything we needed. The venue was beautiful and well maintained, and the food (we chose the 3 course surf + turf meal) was delicious. There were lots of little things the staff did that was unexpected and so sweet, for example, after we ran out of gin for the night, the bartender still made me one of my favorite drinks with the restaurant's alcohol on the house. The staff also cut our wedding cake and served it for everyone, had our drink menu displayed in the bar area, and sent us a small gift and card after the celebration. These little things were not mentioned in the wedding package, but they went above and beyond for our special day and I could not be more grateful!
Such a beautiful space to enjoy a coffee or lunch in the centre of Honolulu. After some sightseeing it appeared there was a lack of places to eat & drink that were not Starbucks. I am so pleased we went to Café Julia! Everything from the service, location and quality of food was excellent. Such a relaxing space and mainly locals - I highly recommend! I think Annie served me and she was ever so kind and attentive. Thank you!
Casual dining. Excellent, fast, friendly service. Creative and tasty menu. Good variety of options including vegan. Best locomoco that I’ve had since Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room.
Very relaxing atmosphere. Outdoor seating available in courtyard. Popular and crowded, best to make reservations.
Located inside the historic “Richards Street Y” building and named after its designer, Julia Morgan, one of America’s foremost and first female architect.
On street or municipal metered parking available nearby. Some public parking stalls available behind ʻIolani Palace.
The food is great. The service is a bit slow but great. The mint water was a little too sweet and not enough mint to have a taste of mint. I recommend to come a little before noon if you are on a time crunch.
Great service and food and atmosphere!
My husband and I held our wedding on March 18, 2022 and I am so happy that we chose Cafe Julia as our venue! We initially reached out in September 2021 and Elijah did a tour of the venue with us via FaceTime as we were planning a destination wedding from Canada. He was so easy to communicate with via email and answered all of our questions. Having not visited the venue in person or done a tasting, we were a bit nervous, but everything was AMAZING. The food, the staff, and the venue itself! This is a hidden gem in the middle of Honolulu. Most of our guests were from out of town and were staying in Waikiki, so this was an easy 15-minute Uber ride for them. In the planning process, we also found that venues typically have an event end-time of 10pm, but we were able to continue the party at a club that was about 5 minutes away - another easy Uber ride for our guests. The venue is so beautiful and there were great spots in the area for our wedding photos. Highly recommend!
