I must have passed by here 100 times before we decided to give it a try. The kiawe wood grill is more than enticing, and filled the air with smokey rich flavors of barbecue. I have no idea why I didn't go sooner. We decided to head here for breakfast and try out their local plates. Their version of the loco moco came with a nice juicy patty (of course cooked over kiawe wood), topped with scrambled eggs, all set on top of the brown rice and then came the most tasty teriyaki-like spicy sauce drizzled all over the brown rice. Holy cow, this stuff was delicious. We also ordered sausages (not your norm, but again full of flavor), scrambled eggs, bacon with brown rice. I would say the breakfast is decent to larger size and quite filling. You can see the chef cook up your breakfast, and they have seating area that faces a semi large screen TV for entertainment while you wait for your "cook to order" local grinds. With the meal and 2 choice of drinks came to a total of 20 bucks and some change. If you need more convincing, they make these fresh plates of their specials and display them near the cashier/scones display case. Oh yes, they have scones, muffins, all that sweet stuff to satisfy a sweet tooth!

Giving four stars for breakfast because they had a 5.99 special which is great in this high price tourist area. Also you can sit outside and eat which is nice.

I really like the coffee, and the band they had there was really good. A great place to relax.

I came here a few times on my trip, mainly because my hotel I was staying at (The Pacific Beach Hotel) offered a coupon for breakfast every morning with a free juice, coffee, fruit, and pastry. It was nothing special but an adequate amount of food for the morning. If you get there in the later morning however, they don't always have enough left. I did have a burger and fries there one night and the burger seemed overcooked and not as good as I had hoped. The atmosphere is really nice, however, and they always have live music or karaoke at night.

The only reason I came down to the Aloha Center Cafe was because I was staying in the Pacific Beach Hotel and was supplied with breakfast vouchers that were good for a drink, a pastry, a fruit, and a Hawaiian Sun guava or passion fruit drink Nothing particularly special but better than nothing, I suppose. The pastries were pretty good. As to the croissada, I tried a mini and found it overly sweet and a little messy. Still, if you're a fan of cream filled donuts, you'll probably like it. Straight, soft malasada better as far as I'm concerned. Staff was friendly and efficient which was nice.
(3)Steve B.
We came for breakfast. It's a good breakfast and you can't beat the $5 price. Toast is $2 extra and you toast it yourself. The outside seating is nice and shady in the morning. I would come here again.
(4)BERT O.
This was our first meal in Hawaii. It was what we were looking for, something simple and not overly expensive but with great flavor. It's great that the food is made in a huge outside grill. I got myself some papaya as an appetizer while we waited for the food. My wife got a something like a pineapple cheese Danish. The papaya was nice and brought 2 fresh strawberries. The Danish was a nice pastry. My seafood kabob was great. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, the veggies with the mushrooms tasty, and my wife loved the bacon wrapped scallops. I also got rice since I had a rice craving even though they has given me some nice potatoes. My wife got a burger which she really liked but was blown away by the grilled steaks the couple next to us got. Our total was about $40.21. Definitely worth it.

WOW.... their $5 breakfast special is the best deal for an inexpensive, good breakfast in waikiki. Picture is what I ordered... 2eggs , however u like them , choice of potatoes or rice (3varieties) and choice of bacon (was surprised at how much they gave me) , Portuguese or chicken apple sausages. ..... excellent Waialua coffee ..$2.79 for a 16oz tall....with $0.79 refills.... great outdoor patio across the street from waikiki beach.... kind of tucked away..across the other street is McDonald's. ..if you just want a great , simple way to start the day..this is it.. there are also several reasonably priced omelettes to choose from that come with potatoes or rice ...$6-9 range..some that are vegetarian. ....small but nice fresh pastery selection and a large coffee menu.. .. thats about it for the ... friendly staff. I will DEFINITELY be back...... breakfast hours: daily.. 6:00-10:30...

It's an outside cafe at the Pacific Beach Hotel. Been here twice. Best coffee and cheap. Americano is only $2.00. Better than Starbucks.
(4)Eden L.
We tried their barbeque available on Thursday thru Saturday. We had pork rib and chicken leg barbequed on site and it was great! Their lobster looked really good and it was under $20.00.

This review is for the croissada: A deep fried croissant/malasada hybrid in the shape of a malasada, injected with bavarian creme and coated in sugar. Is this Hawaii's answer to New York's cronut craze that has people standing in line at Dominique Ansel Bakery two hours before opening just to get their hands on a limited supply? Ummmm, no. Don't think so. I did have to check it out though because the croissant/malasada combination sounds like a winner. This intriguing pastry ($3.75) is available in the pastry case at Pacific Beach Hotel's indoor/outdoor Aloha Center Cafe. I decided to make breakfast out of this considering the caloric fat bomb I was about to consume. You have the option of having them heat it up for you which is what I did. I also ordered a tall iced coffee ($2.00) which turned out to be free because of the croissada's introductory promo. Score. I love to save money! They have a little counter off to the side so you can add your own half & half and sweetener for your coffee. I was hoping I'd get the buttery taste from the pastry, since croissant = lots of butter. But nope, didn't get that. The outside is very crispy, (more on the tough side), I suppose to ensure the inside gets cooked properly. It kind of reminded me of Zippy's flaky doughnut, which I like btw. The creme filled middle was okay. See my pics. Overall I rate it A-Ok. Nothing to fawn over. As for the cafe itself, it's a very casual indoor/outdoor seat yourself type eatery. Nothing fancy. I wonder what happens when it rains though. It's pretty breezy so I can just imagine the rain blowing into the indoor area. Good place to people watch although the cafe fronts a pretty boring Liliuokalani Avenue.

The only reason I came down to the Aloha Center Cafe was because I was staying in the Pacific Beach Hotel and was supplied with breakfast vouchers that were good for a drink, a pastry, a fruit, and probably something else (I just don't remember anymore). Anything particularly special? I don't think so. It was quite intriguing to see what happens to this cafe at night. Karaoke starts and tourists cram into this small room to let loose. It's fun to watch but I didn't have the courage to join the crowd.
(3)Adam A.
We were enticed by the kiawe wood fired grill signs, and against my better judgement, we bit on the promo. It's not that their was anything wrong with the food, but it came with a waikiki price tag, for what basically equalled a plate lunch. The chicken we had was overcooked, and the steak just didn't have the flavor I had hoped for. The ribs were nice, but the only highlight of the meal. Three plate lunches, nearly $70 spent, left still hungry and unsatisfied. If your a first time hawaii tourist you may like this place, but if you are the adventurous type, there are better locations for the food they serve with better accommodations for the price.

A new pastry experience for me: the croissada, and it rocked my world. Only wish there was an option without any filling but both chocolate and macadamia nut were good even though I normally don't like fillings. Their americano was also a very nice surprise, great shots that would stand out even in my coffee-crazed home town of Portland, OR.

New York City was recently struck by the Dominique Ansel's croissant and donut hybrid, the Cronut. The "Croissada" is a cross between a croissant and a masalada, which is a Portuguese pastry that is very popular in Hawaii. I picked up a coupon for a free coffee with a Croissada at Moku surf shop just 2 blocks away. The classic is lightly coated with granulated sugar and filled with Bavarian cream, but you can ask for one with chocolate. The layers are fluffy just like a croissant should be. It's very sweet, but goes perfectly with a steaming cup of their local coffee and just a splash of soy milk (it's behind the counter, so you have to ask for it). I came around 10am and there were a handful of people having coffee or breakfast. The outdoor coffee bar and seating makes this a great place to relax with a breakfast pastry and coffee in the morning.

One Saturday morning, my friends and I went on a Croissada hunt. Croissadas are the Pacific Beach Hotel's signature pastry, a half croissant half malassada Polynesian Vanilla Bavarian cream filled creation of yumminess. They are sold at the Aloha Center Café and also come filled with chocolate cream. You would think that being the hotel's signature pastry, they'd have an endless supply, but by noon, we had bought the last 5 vanilla and left only 2 chocolate ones behind. The pastries are yummy and I preferred the vanilla over the chocolate. I thought they were a little oily, but I didn't hear that complaint from anyone else in my household. They are priced at $3.75 each and you are supposed to receive a small coffee with the purchase of one, but we didn't get any coffee and I didn't remember to ask. The junk thing is that they don't validate parking at the Aloha Center Café so we paid $10 for about 20 minutes. Valet parking might have been cheaper so be sure to seek other parking alternatives.

I do not know which was better...the croughnut or the garlic shrimp. Both definitely had great flavor but I think the guava filled croughnut takes the cake. This place was located In a stand right outside the Aloha Cafe, so I am assuming they are affiliated in some way.

Located in the Pacific Beach Hotel, this outdoor cafe serves as a coffee shop and counter service eatery. The most notable moment of the lunch was the croissada. A cross between a croissant and a malasada, the croissada consisted of flakey layers of dough, fried and covered in sugar with cream sandwiched in the middle. Prices started at $2.25 for the mini croissada and increased from there. Everything else panned in comparison. The iced coffee had a metallic taste to it at 11 am, as if it's been sitting in a metal pitcher for a really long time. The hot food itself (no BBQ at this time) took awhile to arrive, arrived in styrofoam boxes, which I wasn't expecting, and seemed to be reheated. We ordered the bbq chicken and meat lovers pizza and garlic fries. The pizza crust was soft and doughy, not a crust that would have been pulled from an oven. The garlic fries were so-so, but did not have enough garlic to pack a real punch. You HAVE to try the croissada though if you are in the area.

Went to check out no dollar beers no bbq. They apologized said they have not changed their yelp. I would not use yelp for this place as it is not as advertised.

Hybrid pastries seem to be all the rage this year. In Hawaii, this is the home of the "croissada," a hybrid of the croissant and a malasada. There's Bavarian cream filling in the center. You can opt for a mini version, in case you wanted to watch your sugar intake. It has the layers of a croissant with the flavors and sugary exterior of a malasada. Enough sugar to keep me up for 17 hours. $3.75 might be a bit steep on a pastry, but I think it was worth it in this case. Delicious. The turkey sandwich here was good, but dammit, I'd rather not spend $7 on it. Vintage Waikiki! My friend got the "South of the Border" burger, which has pepperjack cheese, guacamole, salsa, and jalapenos. Kiawe burgers sound great, but $15? Vintage Waikiki! Not surprisingly, a bird got very friendly and wanted some of our food. Vintage Waikiki? The food is good, but the prices might cause my wallet to have a heart attack. Yup, vintage Waikiki.

(5)John W.
It was OK but pricey for overly dry ribs and chicken. I went rather late so that may have been the issue. There is enough to split with a friend but the lack of healthy sides makes this place less desirable for me then other places that serve ribs and chicken in the Waikiki area.
(3)Allen W.
Heard about their invention, the croissada, a cross between a croissant and a malasada, their version of the NYC cronut craze. Had to give it a try. Definitely worth it. Had the flakiness of a croissant and the fried flavor of a malasada. And it was filled with a nice polynesian vanilla bavarian cream inside (don't understand what makes it polynesian - the fact that it was in Hawaii?). The Pacific Beach Hotel was a short walk from where I was staying. Nice walk to get there. The Aloha Center Cafe is outdoor and right across the street from the beach. Got there just in time in the morning to get the last 2 croissadas. Got a couple of sea salted coffee drinks (sea salted... yum) and walked across the street to have our breakfast on the beach. Our teens didn't come with us and were disappointed that they didn't get a chance to try the croissadas and that we got the last 2 of the day. Called the Aloha Center Cafe and found that they had mini versions. So went there later just in time to get the last 4.

I saw the sign for kona coffee and was in need some caffeine. So we stopped into the check out their coffee stand area with baked goodies as well. Thankfully they were a bit busy so we had time to think about what we wanted to order. I asked the man working there what drink he'd recommend for someone like me that wanted an ice coffee that was sweet. He recommended the vanilla latte (with soy since I cant have milk). It was DELICIOUS! It was sweet and the coffee was SO SMOOTHE. Way better than any coffee I've had on the mainland. Another great thing they have here besides the coffee is their macadamia nuts sticky bun. If you nuke it for about 20 minutes, its warm and gooey and sooooooooooooooooooo WONDERFULLY YUMMIE. We came back a few times during our trip so I could stock up on these buns and of course get more iced coffee. Definitely come check this place out

When I heard the news about a new pastry exclusively for the Pacific Beach Hotel was being added, the Croissada, I immediately made up my mind to pay a visit to this hotel in Waikiki to sample this unique treat. I found out that the Croissada can be found at their outdoor cafe, Aloha Center Cafe, which is located on the ground floor (ewa, makai end) of the hotel on Liliuokalani Avenue. Right around the corner from the Haagen Dazs ice cream shop. The Croissada is the merging of a croissant and a malasada all rolled into one. The flaky and buttery layers of the croissant is combined with the delicate light and fluffy malasada. On my first visit to this café I found out they were completely sold out. So about one week later I went back again and lo and behold the Croissada was available. I ordered my Croissada with vanilla Bavarian cream filling and handed over my $3.75 in cash. First thing I noticed was that this pastry was heavier and slightly larger than your usual malasada. It also was deep-fried until it was golden brown and coated in granulated sugar. The other difference was the outside shell of the Croissada is much firmer and crispier than the soft and airy malasada. Upon my first bite into this pastry, I was a bit disappointed that it was very chewy which in the end made it difficult for me to eat. Although the creamy filling had a nice flavor and was not too sweet, unfortunately I felt it tasted okay with nothing really special about it.

They have the best staff and great food!! :)

This cafe is at the Pacific Beach Hotel. Great kobe burger which needs nothing on it to eat it. Freshly BBQ's and was ono. Didn't get to try the ribs, but they sure did look good. If you ask me, the food here was better than the buffet. Alittle pricey, but again, you're in Hawaii. lol
(4)Cimi L.
if you are ever in the Waikiki Area, you must try this place. Awesome steak at a great price.
(5)Soly Z.
For the price, it was good. We went to the BBQ of a Friday evening, and enjoyed kobe beef burgers & roasted chicken. The sodas tasted a little "off", but it was still an overall good experience.
(3)Kyle F.
The smell of Kiawe BBQ pulled us off the street. They had a fun little band playing covers of classic rock and roll songs. The food was reasonably priced. The meal itself was delicious, I had the pork ribs and my companions had the steak/chicken combo. Everything was tasty and the only ding was the draft beer was not very cold.
(5)Lindsay F.
cheap and food is sooo god,... the steak and lobster is awesome
(5)A K.
We went here after seeing signs for BBQ while walking along Waikiki. Overall the BBQ was quite good. The service is friendly and the food came out very fast, as the grill is right outside. We tried a couple cocktails (Blue Hawaiian and one other) but they were very weak.
(4)Laura L.
Large portions for a decent price. The ribs are yummy and slightly spicy. The coleslaw was sweet because of the pineapple in it, which was a bit weird in my opinion, but it can be remedied with salt and pepper. Overall a decent place to have dinner. You can't sit inside so be prepared for a little wind.
