    This new little brunch and lunch stop was a nice change from the usual long wait time. The interior is super stylish, with a retro-modern feel and nice big seats for couples. Hubby and I decided to try their fish tacos and the Salt and Pepper omelette. Food was hot and fresh. The fish taco breading was crispy and the fish tasted fresh, through the portion was a tad small for the price. Appreciated the generous helping of avocado. An avocado crema would have been a nice touch, or maybe some cilantro. The omelette was good too, although I could have used a bit more flavor. I don’t like overly spiced food but I had to add my own salt and pepper. It could have also used some onion or garlic flavor. The potatoes were tasty and satisfying. The salad was just spinach with a garnish on top. No sauce or dressing, not even a drizzle. Service was slow but I think it was because they were working out some kinks with staffing. Our orders were complete, correct, and came out together, so that was appreciated. Our server was also very nice! We’ll be back to see how the menu and the service progresses!

    Parking is a bit tight since there are a lot of support beams beside parking stalls, but at least its free. The restaurant looks similar to the former restaurant, which is nice. The music isn't loud, and you can't hear the traffic outside! For the menu, there is the Traditional Breakfast and Lunch menu, and a Vegan Breakfast and Lunch menu. Most of the Traditional items have a vegan variant. On a side note: from what our waiter said, the chef/owners are vegan. Anyway, we ordered the Ube Stuffed French Toast, Kalua Hash with Eggs and Rice, and Tofu Scramble. The Ube Stuffed French Toast has an Ube cream on the french toast--not in them as the name suggests. Aside from that, the dish was delicious and not too sweet! For the Kalua Hash with Eggs and Rice, the portion is huge for the price! It is enough for 2 - 3 people! As for taste, it wasn't overpowering nor salty. And for the Tofu Scramble, it tasted like curry, which was quite pleasing. Based on our great experience, we will have to visit this restaurant again to try their other interesting items!

    Light and tasty brunch options. Most breakfast options have a vegan counterpart.

    This place has an amazing Vegan Menu! If you are a vegan and you want great food, Salt and Pepper Cafe will not disappoint! I had the vegan Aina Moco. Ono Brah!

    There is plenty of parking under the restaurant. Entrance is on Kapiolani Blvd. look for signs to take the elevator up. I liked the high ceilings because it made the room feel spacious. The tables and chairs felt a little off. Kinda like when u mix and match with the same color scheme but the style is off. Our server was friendly. The menu was huge. I believe the theme is basic American breakfast food open from morning to night. Kinda like an ihop (but owned by a small business owner). Overall... I don’t have anything bad to say about them. If I crave for an American breakfast at night time... I have this place as an option.

    The food was amazing! Oh my gosh, my husband and I were so impressed. All of the free food was definitely appreciated as well. Every last thing we ate was perfection. I’m pretty sure the menu said that the pasta dishes came with garlic bread, yet neither of us received any with our pasta dishes. We were forgotten about multiple times, therefore we waited more than we ate or even interacted with an employee. The staff were really nice but there’s really no excuse for how long we had to wait to just order our meals or receive our dessert. Again, food was AMAZING. drooling currently thinking about it.

    This place serves plant based vegan food, alcoholic beverages and deserts. Booth chairs are comfortable to sit on.
