Nice little spot that’s down some stairs in AV. Nice staff and really nice atmosphere. The menu has a lot of choices and good options. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the portions are quite big. You use a tablet to order so English speakers will have a really easy time ordering. The food was good, but nothing too out of this world. Lots of drink selections.

This is a cute spot serving breakfast earlier than most places that don’t open until after 10am. I ordered breakfast and my daughter ordered more of an appetizer. Both were delicious. It’s larger than most restaurants with lots of comfortable cushion seating. Very nicely decorated and the staff is polite and inviting. Ordering from a device is my favorite thing about most restaurants and this one uses this! Looking forward to going back soon.

The setting is really cool and would be a cute date place. The setting is the only reason for 4 stars, if it was a basic restaurant setting it would be 2 or 3 stars. Unfortunately like most restaurants in American village the cost is pressed on to the customer with high prices. ~¥2000 per meal. Bunch time is about ¥1000 and includes a drink which is not too bad. The lunch or dinner plates are exactly the same but double price. The dinner ones should only be maybe ¥1,500. It’s a bit weird when brunch and the regular menu over lap, you can order from either menu but one is twice as expensive without a drink. I had the French toast which looks really sweet, but it wasn’t. Which I appreciate them not being super sweet, but I didn’t really like the flavor as it was like a brûlée coating. Like non-sweet burnt caramel that was getting stuck in my teeth. I also had the coconut latte, which I would not recommend as the coconut flakes on the top were the only thing coconut about the drink. My wife had one of the plates which was a good portion and looked really nice but it was average in flavor. Also the plate came with non-sweet whipped cream, which was a bit weird as her meal was basically a salad with bacon and toast. My daughter liked the fried chicken balls, and I thought they were tasty as well.

We originally just wanted to sit down for a coffee, but then decided on the brunch menu and were not disappointed. The portions were huge and served quickly; everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Very neat tiny cafe! Located on the lower level so it’s pretty tucked away from sight. They gave me a little tablet to order off from. Food came out quick and it was very delicious! Service was kind and atmosphere is very quiet. The meal itself was very filling for me.

The food is nice, but just frozen fruits on the French toast. It was not fresh, so i was a little disappointed. The size was a little small for the price. The steak salad had lots of vegetables but not really Hawaiian food. Not bad but not great.

It’s such a gem! The atmosphere is so peaceful away from the crowds upstairs and the pricy burgers . The set meal came with the drink and a soup included, you can also choose between rice and garlic bread. For the one who like good food, instagramable place and lovely people that’s your place. Thank you
