Aloha Koko Head Cafe Friends and Family!

We greatly appreciate your continued support. We serve the state best breakfast and brunch in the state with a chef driven flair created by none other than Top Chef season 1 contestant, Lee Anne Wong. Our most popular dishes include the Cornflake French Toast, Koko Moco, the Don Buri Chen, and daily assorted baked treats. We are locally owned and operated, so thank you for supporting local small businesses!

We kindly ask all guests to limit their stay for a maximum period of 60 minutes during peak hours, because waiting in line for Cornflake French Toast is torture. We look forward to serving you #bruchallday soon!

Mahalo!

Made a reservation for our visit 1 month in advance and it was well worth the wait. We were sat right when we arrived. I ordered the breakfast bibimbop and my husband ordered the 2 eggs, sausage and rice. I want to come back to try the koko moco. Service was great and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Right after landing at the airport we went to eat at Koko Head cafe. I booked it way in advance so we wouldn’t miss out. This is my third time there and consistently good every time. Everyone there is friendly and attentive. I always feel like I made a new friend and walk out happy. Great way to start our vacation. I’ve told my family and friends to check it out and they come home raving about Koko Head cafe. Make sure to try the daily special dumplings. Ono!

Receptionist and manager were very rude! We were definitely profiled. The waiter was friendly and the food was great though.

First time here after hearing about this place from so many friends and coworkers. So glad we got a reservation as there were many waiting outside for a table. We were seated immediately. We haven’t eaten out at restaurants in a year and we felt safe the entire time (helps to be vaccinated). The server was great and gave us good suggestions. So glad she suggested the dumplings- wow. Just. So. Good. I had the congee and my husband had the koko moco. Both were stellar. There were other servers who kept checking on us which was really nice. Great ambiance- not too noisy. Really enjoyed ourselves for a nice little breakfast outing. Thank you!
