Our Hood– 3605 WAIALAE

What’s the deal with kaimuki

There’s something undeniably cool about Kaimuki, the dining Mecca of Oahu. People used to scramble around for parking and race around the streets just to try to get a seat at the hot-new eateries. With new emergents in the travel industry led to new restaurants popping up elsewhere.

Nonetheless, Kaimuki kept it’s cool. Kaimuki is filled with niche shops, funky boutiques and unique eateries. We want to bring the attention back to this trendy community. We may be slightly biased but, we think Kaimuki is going to be the next big thing in Hawaii. This town is extremely community-minded and filled with great inspirations of business owners. Take a look around our block at some of our recommended places!

Coffee Talk is our next door neighbor and we could not be more happy about it. The laid-back coffee house is bustling not only with students but, nearby professionals and neighborhood locals. Coffee Talk has been around for 23 years caffeinating Kaimuki. The 2 story building is hard to miss on Waialae and 12 Ave. It is far from ordinary with their vintage decor, high ceilings, secluded nooks to cozy up in, and even a sunroom.

Let’s Talk Coffee– they serve a wide variety of drinks (coffee, espresso, teas, and other specialty beverages). You can find unique lattes such as Red Velvet, Cinnamon Roll, Cake Batter, and Marble Mocha, just to name a few. If you really want to feel the buzz, they have Nitro Cold Brew. It is AMAZING… read more here

Broken Rice

Broken Rice is our next door neighbor on Waialae, which lucky us because their food is amazing!

The owners wanted to create a Vietnamese restaurant that was more than just Phở, so they wanted to specialize in broken rice dishes. To answer what everyone is thinking, Broken rice, is a Vietnamese dish made from rice with fractured rice grains. During the milling process, rice grains are damaged while removing the husks. It is as nutritious as the equivalent unbroken rice. Also, can argue a bit tastier than unbroken rice because the broken rice soaks up and highlights more flavors in a dish. Do not worry, their delectable homemade soups are still an option on the menu… read more here
