We've explored so many spots in HNL over the decades of loving the area. One particular restaurant that we have come back to year after year is Hiking Hawaii Cafe. Its close walking distance proximity to the Hilton Hawaiian Village is so convenient for a great meal away from the resort. One of the big reasons we have loved Hiking Hawaii is its wide variety of offerings for all tastes and appetites. From bowls to pizza to wraps and salads, HH has got you covered. Every single item that we've tried has been so reliably delicious. My kids particularly love the bagel sandwiches and other breakfast offerings. And one of the most amazing breakfast items is the Surfer's Souffle. This is like french toast on steroids! It is simply amazing and a must try. And let's not forget that HH also excels at smoothies and a whole variety of hot & cold drinks. I personally love the Mexican Hot Choco Latte! All of the tasty goodness offered by HH is further complemented by truly amazing hospitality from the owner Matt down to all of his staff. We simply feel so welcomed at Hiking Hawaii Cafe. And because of this, we will always be coming back here!
Came and had a Lavender Latte and the Coco Mocha Latte. Two bfast burritos! Drinks were an 8/10 and burritos were a 7.3/10. Service was a 9/10 and music was 8.5/10. Just a great vibe and awesome people. Recommend for the ambience and drinks!
This place was so good, the avocado toast was amazing. Jessie took our order and was so nice.
Went to get a coffee and breakfast. Staff were friendly and I was served my order with minimal wait time. I eat a homemade oatmeal mix every day at home. The oatmeal they served was absolutely delicious. I'd recommend giving it a try! Best bowl of oatmeal eating out that Ibe ever had.
This is a great little spot for good eats. Had the surfers soufflé, it was the most delicious breakfast!!
11 out of 10. No exaggeration this Surfer's Soufflé French Toast from Hiking Hawaii Cafe in Honolulu is the best I have ever had. Matt and his team full sent it with this one!!! Carb up before you carve out . I am honored to be their test subject for this new menu item and any future ones (They also have healthy stuff like açaí bowls and other breakfast staples)

Well, I'm back in town for a conference, and came back to one of our favorite places to eat-- Hiking hawaii cafe! I have been here 3x on this visit 2025, and have ordered their Napa panini, summit acai bowl, coco mocha coffee, and smoothies. This time I ordered their Napa panini, and acai with the granola on the side. I really love the flavor of the granola and just the purity of the acai when eaten separately. They are all very friendly, and the food waiting time was fine. (They have a sign saying if you are in a hurry, you might want to look elsewhere because they prepare their food as they are ordered.) I love this place and love coming back for more! Ambiance is cute, and DJ music is great. (Today I heard Drift Away in a reggae beat. Loved it!) Oh and lastly, the acai bowls are generous in size (see photos with my hand for comparison) and although the paninis might look small, they are quite filling!
