Ilima Cafe

Better than I expected! No frills hotel restaurant, got a classic breakfast combo that had tasty link sausage and scrambled eggs. Minus a star since hash browns were just like warm. For $20, about the average in the area. Staff was polite and friendly, and even though place was on busier side, food came out super fast. Place is a bit dated and basic, but it's super close to beach. Recommended for a quick bite and head to the water.

An amazing spot for breakfast! Ilima Café is inside the Waikiki Resort Hotel. You enter the hotel in order to get to the restaurant. Inside the restaurant is light, bright, and airy. The staff were attentive. You receive a discount if you are staying at the hotel. If you need a restroom you need to ask the hotel front desk for a key and use the hotel lobby's restrooms. Menu wise is small but mighty with lots of comfort breakfast foods. I got a side of bacon with French toast and hashbrowns. My husband ordered the omelet which came with hashbrowns and rice. Everything was amazing! Came out hot and filled us up. They are only open a few hours in the morning, so be sure to wake up in time and order some delicious breakfast!

I do not recommend. Delusional service. Tricky coffee price. Day #1 :Breakfast was nice. Toast was not great though but everything else was nice. Sausage, eggs and coffee.Service was good and waiter came to refill and propose coffee. Ambiance ok. Would recommend adding some chill music and the place would be betterDay#2 : I guess either I was too hungry on the first day and was under a delusion- got happy with the service. I went back and am very disappointed by the serviceSee pic. Bagel was served cold and not really toasted- It look like it went through a tsunami on it and it got torn . The waiter did not find it inappropriate to serve this. As well, be careful as there is a trick of inserting coffee with an additional price $5 on menu on the back side. It showed a smaller price but coffee is not included. I asked to switch the fresh fruits for another side and waiter did not agree on some choices.I do not recommend

This little cafe is a hidden gem!!! The service and the food are outstanding!! It was so good we ate here 6 mornings in a row. Delicious food, delightful service, bright sunshiny cafe. We would highly encourage anyone to eat here. What a bonus to find this little gem!!!!

Our second breakfast since were disappointed with the hotels complimentary breakfast. We opted to try this place out. Breakfast here is only offered from 6:30am - 9:30am and they have limited breakfast meals. We opted for the following:Hawaii Loco Moco - 1/2 lb hamburger patty topped with a bed of rice covered in brown gravy and topped with 2 fried eggs. My boyfriend chose this. He said the loco moco tasted way better. Portuguese Sausage & Eggs - 2 eggs any style with either toast, rice or hash brown. This was my pick. I chose to get this dish with rice and have it with scrambled eggs. Ube Pandesal Toast - the bread was soft and fluffy and tasted really yummy!Overall, food was delicious and service was great!

Ilima Cafe lends to the much needed variety of local brunch and breakfast stops in Waikiki. Even though they do not have any unique menu options, the few choices still hit the spot. The Ilima breakfast with your choice of french toast or pancakes, eggs, fruit, and bacon or sausage was enough for two people. Very small dining space with a fountain view on the corner of Waikiki Resort Hotel.

We came here on our last day and had Erna as our server. She was the sweetest and a pleasure. Limited menu but covered the basics. I tried the lilikoi syrup. We had pancakes French toast, bacon , eggs, Portuguese sausages. Everything was good. Nice little place!

Only reason why I'm giving only 4 stars is because of the limited menu and limited service hours...however, FIVE stars to the service here! So friendly and welcoming. Their aloha definitely shines through! The menu is typical breakfast menu items but the star of this place I would have to say would be their pancakes!! Ughhhh soooo fluffy and soft and hits the right spot!! Menu items as mention is limited to mostly eggs, breakfast meat, French toast, and/or pancakes. They have a couple healthier options too like fruit and yogurt but that's it. Also, right now they only operate from 6:30am-9:30am, so just an FYI. Overall though, 4 warm and happy stars to this cafe in the heart of Waikiki.

Not sure why this place isn't packed, as it was our favorite breakfast place in Honolulu. We ordered the omelet and French toast, which were both delicious. Husband's coffee was included with our breakfast. The best part was the service, the ladies were SO lovely!!! Come to Ilima for the best breakfast in Honolulu!

Great food great service not packed a gem in the heart of Waikiki. Would be 5 stars but over priced for what you get
