Sweet Manoa Cafe & Bistro

What a gem! I've been to Sweet Manoa a few times and they have been consistently very good and their staff are genuinely some of the friendliest we've encountered — warm, attentive, and full of that signature Aloha spirit. I went with the ham and egg on toast which was delicious and priced very reasonably. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Sweet Manoa is absolutely worth a stop. I'll definitely be back soon!

Super friendly staff, it's like they know you personally and they are always smiling. The egg, ham and cheese croissant I ordered was missing the cheese. I ordered online and picked it up. It was ready when I arrived but I was disappointed it was very dry. The pumpkin latte was ok. Not great but not terrible. I will probably give this place another chance while I'm in town, just because the employees were so nice.

Sweet Manoa Cafe is such a sweet little cafe with absolutely lovely staff. I met Chef May and front of house Bliss, both were so kind and sweet. I got their omurice with a side of bacon and the raspberry tart latte. The omurice is very saucy and sweet, and a generous portion. Bacon was nice and crispy, just the way I like it! Different salad dressing options would be nice, I’m a vinaigrette person. Their raspberry tart latte was really good! Will definitely be back to try more of Chef May’s creations :)

NOT recommended. The store does not match their past reviews at all. Feels like a completely different store. They said they are in soft opening for some reason and none of the staff there knows what they are doing. Waited 40 mins for our simple orders of pancake and omelette. The food is worse than cheap fast food. Coffee was made with raw milk. The staff was smelling the milk before using them, not sure if they gone bad. I paid $24 for a scoops of rice and a small beef burger meat with some catchups. I will not recommend anyone come here.

ADORABLE AND DELICIOUS! The drinks and food are amazing, best local cafe near HPU campus. Coffee and espresso alone is perfect quality. The sandwiches and soufflé pancakes are to die for, the the cute and clean aesthetic make you want to stay longer. Will be my new coffee spot!
