Straub Benioff Medical Center Cafe

Breakfast found here...Not quite the easiest to find...If you're not in the know as there's several doors leading to the dining area though it's all closed and you need to enter through the side door which is understandable but what confusion lol!Once you enter it's a nice service area which is roomy and spacious filled with various coolers of drinks and snacks galore and the hot food area is breakfast only and offers a breakfast bowl I think...not too sure as the menu and pricing wasn't something earlier found...actually I didn't and didn't want to be price shocked so I just looked around. The soup are was oatmeal and cream of wheat while the salad bar held some donuts and other sweets.Not really impressed though it was just breakfast wished they had menu stating what the current offers are but a nice place for a bite though I like the rotunda area better for my personal preference.Thank you!

The best breakfast! I can't ever make it to the café for lunch, but most certainly make it for breakfast. Friday's is my favorite day because of the adobo fried rice. So flavorful and filling. (My photo is of two scoops.) Wide selection of breakfast items to choose from; scrambled eggs, bacon, Portuguese sausage, pork sausage patties, little smokie links, mixed beans, and of course the daily fried rice. There is a pastry bar and an oatmeal / cream of wheat station that has brown sugar, raisins, and sliced almonds. There is a kitchen menu that you can order breakfast sandwiches, low cholesterol omelettes, as well as others. See photos I frequent Straub Cafe more than I should, but hey. The food & selection is good!

I used to love their salmon burger with onion rings years ago. It's no longer on the menu. When I was there today they had their grill menu and lunch menu. I decided to get the shoyu chicken plate. It tasted like cafeteria food and lacked flavor. I should have known from the color of the skin that it needed more shoyu sauce. Maybe they're trying to cut down on sodium, since this is a hospital.My dad loves their soups. He drinks them all: clam chowder, corn chowder, broccoli & cheese.

I'm so glad to have discovered Straub Cafe!! They really have pretty good food here! I usually come here for the specials which you may have to wait about 5 minutes, but it's so reasonable and so good. Great quality and so fresh. You would see a few visitors like me but mostly Staub employees come here during their break. There are not too many other places in the area for them to grab a quick meal but they have a variety of choices from healthy to grilled foods here at Straub cafe. They offer usually three choices of hot items and one grill special. There is a salad and sandwich area too. There's some premade items and drinks in the refrigerator! There's even frozen treats in the freezer! I don't have to wait for my next appointment to come here! The burger was outstanding but my favorite was the recent Pastrami Reuben sandwich. The sourdough bread was grilled perfectly with the load of pastrami, sauerkraut and cheese. I was surprised it included the lettuce, onions, tomato underneath the sandwich too! Although the next time it didn't, lol. The fries were only a dollar more or for the special garlic fries or waffle fries was an option too for another additional dollar! They have a great breakfast too! Breakfast special made to order or choose from ala carte station of already prepared breakfast meats, eggs and starches. Right now, the order of meat were $2.59 or you can have a half order for $1.79. One or two scoops of fried rice. Their scoops were huge! Starches can be tater tots, potatoes, corn beef hash, or Kimchee, regular, or pork adobo fried rice! They have usually two selections of starches. Meats can be bacon, Portuguese sausage, pork links, smokies, or shoyu hot dog! Parking is free for the first 30 minute, so it's worth it to get your meal from here! Parking level 1-1-2 or was it 2nd level have the the whole level of handicap parking stalls and the level leads you down the ramp or stairs near the cafe. If you need to be by the Elevator, park on every other floor or was it on split level where the elevator is and go to the 1st level and walk down the ramp or the stairs. Need to check in the front of the hospital entrance to get a sticker of where you are going from the person sitting up front at the tables. Just say that you're going to the dining room. It's to the left. Menu is posted weekly on the Hawaii Pacific Health Straub cafe's website . They do catering per Joel D. The platters did look good.Just love coming here! Great place for lunch or breakfast. Just bring a bag to carry out your take out containers. They do offer foil, napkins and utensils. You can dine in at the tables outside or inside if still allow. During covid pandemic, dining inside was for the workers only. There are more sitting areas near the coffee/cafe kiosk outside near the pharmacy at the Ward Ave end. That reminds me that coffee place outside serve açaí bowls, but only thing they close early! Cash/charge are accepted here but remember to wear a mask and probably a disposable mask otherwise they have masks available at the front if you forget. Thanks for reading my review!

I had an appointment at Straub and remembered a post from Donna O.My wife and I were gonna try the Taco Tuesday special and the pork watercress with tofu. Was told no tacos available, but they had Quisadlla available. Went to check with my wife. OK, we were gonna go with the pork watercress and the Quisadlla. Went back to the counter to place our order. Was informed that they had no cook.Well, I ordered the pork watercress. Good size portion, lots of pork and watercress for the price. For a hospital the food was tasty . Enjoy.

I went here on March 4 and 5, since I was working over at the Hawaii Convention Center in setting up for an event. On March 4, I went here for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, they have fried rice, Portuguese sausage, vegetables, link sausage, corned beef hash, bacon and eggs as options. There is also lighter fare like bagels and assorted fruits. I had the fried rice, bacon, and vegetables for breakfast. The cost for it came out to $10. Portion is a good-sized scoop. Lunch time they had options for pot roast, chicken long rice, and ginger tofu. I decided to have the pot roast. I had the option having it with rice or mashed potatoes. I choose to have it with mashed potatoes. The plate included the pot roast, mashed potatoes, vegetables and gravy on it. Pot roast was good, though they don't season it. Cost came out to $12.Then on March 5, I came here for lunch. The options for lunch were shoyu chicken, beef stir fry, and macaroni and cheese. I decided that day to have the macaroni and cheese. It was pretty good. Do keep in my because this is a hospital cafe, it's not going to be too flavorful. In the dining room are salt and pepper packets if you want to season your food. ~ Minister Baris

Always love getting my breakfast here. They make the food fresh daily. Everything is seasoned and well balanced. For breakfast I got Portuguese sausage, scrambled eggs, brown rice, and tator tots. All for under $10! What a steal. Tator tots were super crunchy and delicious. Portuguese sausage is super juice and has a nice snap. Scramble eggs were nice and fluffy.

Good food, great prices. My all time favorite thing to get from there is their breakfast

Hey this is a decent cafe for being located inside a hospital! I was pleasantly surprised. They had different hot meals prepared for breakfast and lunch when I stopped by. I had their eggs and Portuguese sausage and parfait for breakfast, and their shoyu chicken with rice and salad for lunch. Simple, filling, classic local foods - can't complain there!

Just had the chicken papaya dish for lunch. So delicious!!!This is my new secret favorite spot to eat!
