    We found out about this place by asking one of the hotel front desk people and it was one of our favourite meals ever! On our way to the Diamond Head park, we had breakfast here and it was amazing! The price was perfect and the rice and acai bowls were truly delicious! We also made friends with the locals who sat near us and got some more tips on places to visit.

    Split a fruit bowl and garlic shrimp plate. Great mix of fruit. All of it was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp plate had six large shrimp, two scoops of white rice and a salad. Shrimp were covered in garlic and still in their shells. Exceptional flavor. Staff was friendly and courteous. Only negatives would be parking and the birds. Neither of which the restaurant has any control.

    Its a cozy cafe near diamond head look out. They have an amazing spread of smoothies, acai bowls and breakfast options. Cafe was not very crowded when we visited but had to circle around twice to find a parking near this place as the complex had very limited parking. We enjoyed the breakfast and they were very fast in serving. We saw a lot of people ordering take out.

    This restaurant had limited seating and there was no information on seating or ordering. So, if you decide to eat here, walk in, get in line with a menu and order at the counter. Be prepared to wait over 30mins. for your food if you are in a party of 2 or more on a Friday morning. Cash is preferred and your food is discounted if you pay this way. The price is a little high but the amount of food and coffee is comparable. I would go again.

    I’ve been to Hawaii twice and this is the only place I have revisited while here because it is that amazing!!! All of the people I’ve brought here have equally been impressed with their dishes. On top of the delicious food and coffee, the staff is so kind and always smiling. Which is always a plus! Although their website needs updating, I promise this food is made with quality ingredients and the restaurant is clean and cute.

    Ordered a breakfast bagel (spinach bread). It was yummy and reasonably priced compared to other items on the menu and Waikiki in general.

    We stopped by for a light breakfast on the way to Diamond Head. Some parking is available in the lot but we parked in the nearby residential area. Ordering was quick and easy even though they have a multitude of options. The Bogarts acai bowl was delicious. The eggs Benedict was terrific and the portions were quite generous. Strawberry smoothies were tasty. Atmosphere is that of a cafeteria with an outdoor seating area as well. Clean and organized. We highly recommend.

    Wasn't too impressed with this place, especially after all the great reviews. The staff weren't particularly friendly, maybe I got them on a bad day. But when the food was ready I must admit it wasn't as good as people have said. All meals seem to come with lots of potatoes, which is ok if you like potatoes for breakfast. I had the "Goldie Lox Benedict", eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, but it tasted like they had dropped a container of salt in - not impressed. My partner had scrambled eggs, which were good, but again too many potatoes. Also, don't know why they have a tip option, we had to order at the checkout and pick our own meals up, then take the plates back, which I think is great but shouldn't tip for that ( maybe I need to see what locals do for tipping in this situation)

    The food was amazing!!! The ube pancakes were immaculate. They were light and fluffy and inside they put this delicious ube custard thing that’s absolutely delicious. I literally inhaled them because they were that good. I also got the adobo fried rice and it was authentic adobo mixed in. Everything was amazing I’m sad I discovered this gem on the last day of my trip. I will definitely be back and Bogart’s café will be my first stop upon landing.

  • 4/5 Cedric C. 5 months ago on Google
    Came here as it was a reccomendation from a local. The Ube Milkshake was great. I got the ribeye Loco Moko with a side of spam. Didn't like that it only came with 1 egg for the price that you were paying. I also didn't like that despite having crab cakes on the menu for certain menu items, they weren't able to add that as a side item when requested. I would have happily paid a premium but instead was told that they couldn't do it. Obviously that is entirely their choice, but personally it left a bad taste in my mouth as it was not a difficult request imo.

    They make the BEST pork adobo fried rice EVER!! We also ordered the kimchi fried rice and wish we ordered 2 pork adobo fried rice instead...soooo 'onolicious!! Had a few different bagels, and a order of belgian waffle for 5 of us. They get busy and yet the service is good. Still say the adobo fried rice is the way to go!!!

    Absolutely delicious breakfast burrito. Friend got avocado and Swiss omelette and she also thought her breakfast was “absolutely fabulous”. Very clean, so friendly, great options, couldn’t have been happier! Parking available which was a huge plus. Outside seating next to parking lot but there is still a beautiful view of the mountains.highly recommend.

    We opted for an egg bagel sandwich and the Skinny Scramble on a Monday morning. The service was friendly and accommodating when I shared that the steamed rice was hard. (And kindly replaced it with some toast) The bagel could have had more flavoring or salt (3 stars). The skinny scramble was very tasty (5 stars) because of the mushrooms and garlic. The coffee was very reasonably priced. We liked the outdoor dining possibility here.

    Cute small little spot perfect for breakfast and brunches. Everything is self-service here so remember to clean up your tables at the end! We ordered $19.67 Chicken Veggies Omelette & $18.63 Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice. Both of the dishes were good -- especially the fried rice!!! That was one of the BEST fried rice I've ever had! Slightly different in texture compared to the typical Chinese Fried Rice but their flavor, texture, and portion were perfect! 2 people can easily share one fried rice. And I love how they added big chunks of scrambled eggs and large shrimps as well. Made the dish so craving-satisfied! I also love how their omelette wasn't rolled up together like the typical American omelette so we can see all the fresh ingredients they used! Love this place overall and highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Meghan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, highly recommend the chicken veggie omelet. Get a side of potatoes and it’s large enough to split with a friend. Atmosphere is a little lacking but this is a dependable spot to grab food.

  • 5/5 Danny Cao (. 1 year ago on Google
    Bogarts is a family owned restaurant. I would recommend the begal works if you wanna eat lite. It bean sprouts, sliced tomatoes with sun dried tomatoe spread. Yummy! I have other pics of the groups food for reference

  • 5/5 Melvin L. 1 year ago on Google
    Bogart's is a longstanding culinary influence in Honolulu having served the Kaimuki neighborhood for more than 25 years. I had a Bagel Works with a Green Tea Late; Was delicious and very authentic.

  • 5/5 Cristina M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great place for breakfast just minutes away from busy and expensive Waikiki hotel area. Huge breakfast menu with many yummy options. Try their French Toast!

  • 4/5 Vera B. 1 year ago on Google
    super fluffy eggs, pancakes looked beautiful, giving it 4/5 only because the hollandaise tasted like straight cream cheese. portion sizes were generous and it’s a little cheaper if you bring cash.

  • 5/5 Cody R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stop for lunch before Diamond Head and it was amazing. The loco moco was a little more elevated compared to others on the island so that was a pleasant surprise and the sandwich and fries were amazing. The chickens outside were a little nosey but will go away if you shoo them away.

  • 5/5 Bella D. 2 years ago on Google
    So so good! This place would be the perfect for coffee, lunch or dinner. We saved it to come back to again for brunch. Banana bread was awesome. Food made on spot.

  • 5/5 Gem L. 1 year ago on Google
    Bustling spot for weekend lunch and brunch. Order up front and they’ll bring the food to you if dining in. We ordered the crab cakes egg Benedict and corned beef with eggs and rice. The crab cakes were made with real not imitation crab, which is a huge plus. The corn beef was delicious! Highly recommend their mimosas. I got the sunny (lilikoi) mimosa. Gave me a nice buzz but it’s not too much. Parking is a bit of a hassle but it’s free. Will definitely come back to try some sweet stuff and fried rice.

  • 5/5 Mike P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and great breakfast food! I will definitely come back. A short and pleasant walk from the beach.

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, delicious food!

  • 5/5 Kenneth M. 2 years ago on Google
    Their açaí bowls are top 3 in Honolulu. Breakfast bagel with turkey bacon was also really good. I was impressed with their portions as well.

  • 5/5 susan m. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried this restaurant because we were looking for a place that we could walk to and was away from the tourists on Waikiki. We walked down the beautiful, tree lined Paki street to reach Bogart’s. You order at the counter and food comes to your table. Because alcohol must be consumed inside, we ate inside the a/c cool restaurant. The crab and avocado omelette, veggie omelette and adobo fried rice were tasty. A nice, calm interior. I’d definitely return.

  • 5/5 Kirk R. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been here twice now. Nice place. Seating inside (AC) and out. Strawberry Acai smoothie is very good. So are the Belgian Waffles.

  • 5/5 Chels T. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything I have ordered her has been top notch.. great people, they do get busy so come with knowing there will be a little wait but they are pretty good on service. Acai bowl are one of their specialties so if you love fruits get one.
