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!

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!
