Hands down this was possibly the best food service i receive. Not just that but 100 percent the food is made with such love and so is the drinks. I can’t even describe how happy that 11/10 chocolate croissant made me. That was without a doubt the best dessert i have ever tried IN MY LIFE!!! This place should be noticed anywhere and everywhere. Such amazing service from Chelsea, she is such a sweet heart! and Josh knows how to whip up a kitchen. God bless all of the staff in this restaurant ❤️

Traveling to Hawaii for a friend's promotion celebration. We googled a restaurant that serves vegetarian food and Sweet Corner Cafe popped up. We decided to give it a try. The reviews are correct about the location. It is in a very industrial area, in an warehouse type building. The entrance is on an incline and may be difficult for someone who has mobility issues. The inside is kinda rough and basic. But for those who can make it, let me tell you, the food was OUTSTANDING! I was excited to leave this review today!! We ordered the vegetarian poke plate (tofu) which was served cold, but was sooo delicious 😋. We had the salt and pepper flavor. We also ordered the vegetarian spring rolls and they were freshly made. Not the frozen kind. We ordered the chicken and waffles which was also yummy and the vegetables fried rice which was fresh and very flavorful. The specialty teas were light, refreshing and not overly sweet. Chelsea provided exceptional service to ensure our order was perfect. Her energy and customer service was top notch!! I sometimes forget to take pictures when I am hungry, so I had eaten some when they were taken. I highly recommend Sweet Corner Cafe and it is worth the drive, or schedule a pickup/ delivery. Absolutely Delicious 😋 😋

So so so good! I am gluten free but my family is not. The food was very good! I ordered the orange chicken, bubble waffle, and cinnamon latte, all of which were amazing and fresh. My parents ordered the gyoza and said it was great. Everything was fresh and the server was friendly. Its hard to find, so when you come to the address you go down the hill to the right and you will see a door to the left on the side of the building. Totally worth it! Also we had a hibiscus lemonade drink and it was sooo good!

We had a wonderful lunch experience at this hard to find place. We got a bit lost after getting off highway looking for a different restaurant and decided to give up and eat at a place closest to us, and it turned out to be this eatery. I drove around the block a few times couldn’t find the place. Finally, I parked the car and decided to look for this place on foot. Eventually I’d find it in a back building of an industrial driveway. Parking was limited and it’s on the steep hill that tested my degenerative driving skill. You have to walk through a long corridor to get to the restaurant. At the end it was well worth the search as the food was excellent and our server Chelsea was so very delightful. With Chelsea’s recommendation, we tried its bubble waffle chicken with maple syrup, an Hawaiian variation of the Southern waffle chicken. The chicken was all white meat, but very tender and not greasy. The tempura shrimps were crispy and fresh. It’s sweet and spicy dipping sauce was a treat. The windowless eating area was tiny but comfortable. This place probably belongs in Waikiki with its innovative dishes, yet it’s doing well in the back of an industrial building. Highly recommended, except for those on their first date.
