Pomaika'i Cafe

Really enjoyed the courtyard seating out back and the staff was super. Our food was great too!

Great stop for breakfast and coffee after watching sunrise and hiking down to the beach at Pololu Valley Lookout. The cinnamon rolls are delicious as was the egg sandwich with spam.

I have rated many restaurants 5 stars on this vacation so I am not overly negative. This place was terrible. The second star is just for the lovely patio. Too bad the food doesn’t live up. The breakfast sandwiches look and taste like Costco ingredients slapped together, the cinnamon roll was so boring, and the cappuccino not great. The staff was just ok, not overly helpful. I don’t understand all the 5 star ratings, I heard there are new owners, perhaps the 5 stars are for the previous. Given the location on the road to Pololu, they should do better. This is strip mall food in paradise.

We asked several times about whether the sandwiches with pesto sauce had nuts in them and we were assured they weren’t. We were told verbatim that they “don’t put nuts in any food.” My daughter had a nut allergic reaction and we had to get medicine from a nearby pharmacy. We were not offered a refund or a sincere apology. Disappointed at the lack of knowledge about ingredients. This is not an allergy friendly restaurant.

Stopped in for lunch got the curried quinoa salad and cinnamon roll both were tasty and good value. Patio seating area out back looked pleasant.

Good coffee. That's all we had. Baked goods looked good.

Good coffee and bagels at surprisingly reasonable prices for such a remote location. The bagel and lox would not be out of place in New York City. Interior space can get a little loud when there are chatty customers but the back garden is a very pleasant place to idle with your coffee. You can also purchase good local soap to go with your sandwich and coffee. Yes, soap.

Great breakfast spot. We stopped here after watching the sunrise at Pololū and the egg sandwiches were amazing and the chai latte was even better. Super friendly service. Good vibes

Great place to have a tasty cup of coffee. The courtyard in the back is very pleasant and the food is delicious.

Wonderful service, relaxing peaceful location. Beautiful private outdoor seating. Great food and coffee ♡ Lovely to come here to read, or come here with children. I Highly recommend it!
