Crema's Take
“Chee Hoo has an appealing open-air setup and does pull off a few standouts—the French hot dog and bacon cheese focaccia genuinely impress—but quality is wildly inconsistent and the pastries are the real problem, with customers consistently reporting stale items (sometimes days old) and uninspired flavors that prioritize appearance over taste. The coffee is forgettable and overpriced even by Waikiki standards, served exclusively in plastic cups despite the nice setting. Worth a quick stop if you're hunting their specific savory items, but don't expect reliable pastries or coffee.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Nice open air cafe. Tried the French Hot Dog which is in a everything like seasoning croissant, absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside, soft with a slight chew on the inside. Croque Monsier also good. Coffee and milk tea also decent.
Very bland pastries!! They worry more about the looks than taste. None are fresh, the guy said some are 3 days old. The staff is very nice but can't make up for lousy food.
We really enjoyed the croissants here and the bacon cheese fugasse was delicious! Best things we ate at the Hawaiian Village were from here. The people were very friendly. Happy to return here.
Coffee is meh but expensive, which seems standard for Waikiki for some reason. All cups are plastic, no glasses or mugs even if you're dining in. Space is beautiful because of the open area overlooking the outdoors, and staff were efficient.
Great place to get a light breakfast snack and coffee. The Carmel Lattes were very rich and amazing. The kids absolutely loved the Malasadas and cinnamon rolls. Perfect way to start off your morning at the beach. A decent amount of seating at the place itself, however…
