Lilikoi Kitchen

Nice place to have family brunch after church in fresh air Food: We like the sandwiches! The BLTA is a favorite-BLT with Avocado, Big Boy Sammie, and breakfast burrito were very tasty today. The Belgian waffles are cakier than some places. Service: pleasant, friendly, efficient for a small place. Location -convenient to find on a Main Street in Kailua, near the Sunday market. Parking is harder to find. If you can't find street parking, it might be easier to park in the Manoa Chocolate parking lot -with metered parking.

Stopped by for breakfast after hiking. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my husband had the French toast and both were delicious! Definitely the best burrito I have ever had. We enjoyed the food so much we came back the next morning for more. This place was lowkey, laidback, affordable and the staff was super friendly. We are not local but next time in town, we definitely plan to stop by again!

I do love Lilikoi...So you know I was surprised to see a beautifully painted building of a surfer girl, octopus tentacles and cute classic VW bus and had to see what was there and it's located right down the street from the Aloha Home Market which is the reason I was in Kailua and after a bit of browsing I got hungry and knew I had to see what Lilikoi Kitchen had to offer.Slightly confused as it shares a small space with a tattoo parlor though walking in the do make the most of the space as there's a service area where there's two ladies doing it all and immediately informed me that it will take approximately 25 minutes for any orders which is great to know upfront.Menu is quite impressive for this cute cafe and though there are many items that caught my cravings it has to have Lilikoi...right!? Monte Cristo is ham, provolone cheese with Lilikoi jam grilled between Japanese style white bread and Lilikoi Iced Tea is the perfect pairing on this Sunday afternoon and gosh what a treat! The cheese pull was insane and the grill was done with perfect marks as you can see it wasn't rushed and grilled perfectly and I loved that it came with some greens and of course Lilikoi dressing...yum!There are some high bar type seating inside but decided that the outside was much more comfy and really enjoyed it all the iced tea was perfectly balance with Lilikoi, the wait can be avoided with a phone order but I rarely plan that early and had no idea it even existed but will be back for the other items.Thank you!

Delicious brunch food! The kitchen is inside a tattoo parlor. We couldn't find it immediately. The staff is super friendly and it's fun to see so many folks getting tattoos inside. There are small tables outside so no go on a rainy day unless you only do pick up. Call ahead for faster pick up!

We decided to give this place another try. After driving around for 15 minutes to try and find a parking spot, and seeing the 4 small tables they have to sit at outside still full, we gave up and drove down the street to Mokes (which has lots of indoor seating and more parking options). What a shame because we were really looking forward to giving this place another shot.

A very small place, with so much aloha!We tried to go somewhere else, but it was closed. We decided to walk and see what we could find and we are so glad we did! With a small bar to sit at inside, and a handful of tables outside, this place was the perfect fit for what we were wanting. At the counter we were greeted by one of the friendliest servers I have ever met. Not only happy to interact with customers, happy to give recommendations, but you could tell she loved her job and believed in the food they were serving. We both ordered the turkey BLTA. It came with a side salad with the most delicious dressing! The sandwich was the perfect size and we left full and happy. If I ever find myself walking in the area again, I will for sure we stopping by!

After a dropping off my car for service we make a trek to Kailua because my kid was in the mood for avocado toast. Her favorite place to get it at is morning brew, but we decide to try a place we've never been to. This location is across the street from Assagio and there's a sign where there's additional parking. But at the time of this review (Jan 2025) I believe the parking lot was under construction. However, there's parking in nearby streets if you don't mind short walks. The avocado toast according to her says it's very good and savory. I tried a bit and thought it was good too. The French toast to me had a bread pudding type of texture. If you like bread pudding you'll like this. There's no seating inside, so eating outside is your only option. They serve your meal to you and you must return your dishes back inside. I had the mango iced tea and it was nice and sweet. I'm not used to having something sweet like this for breakfast so it was a little too sweet for me. I didn't mind eating outside, the weather was nice and it didn't seem like too many people walked by, of course it was a little after 9 am on a Friday, so I'd expect some people are at work. I would come back again to try their other items on the menu.

Craving a sandwich so decided to stop by what seemed like a cute little cafe. Ordered a waffle; came out cold. Thought it was made to order? Maybe not. Second item was a tuna sandwich, but what came out was a mayo sandwich with literally no tuna. I swear I've had more tuna in an ABC sandwich! Please see pic but it was doused in mayo. It was the worst sandwich I've ever had. I might have picked the wrong items but did I come to the same cafe as all other yelpers??

Super small store located literally next to a tattoo parlor so the signage to find it was a little bit tricky. Look for the tattoo shop since they use the same entrance. There's no inside seating so you need to take your food elsewhere to eat. I wanted to get the Luxe Breakfast Burrito but they said they were all out. So I instead opted for the Roasted Turkey Panini. The sandwich was toasted nicely and the pesto was creamy and very delicious. Also the salad dressing they give for your side, is a type of lilikoi dressing which was awesome!

So lucky to have ran into this little cafe/ eatery for brunch before heading to the beach. If you're a pesto lover, I definitely recommend the Big Boy Breakfast Sammie, it was super delicious! The Luxe Breakfast Burrito was also very filling, especially if you get their ice teas on the side! Such a great combo!! ;)
