    The Acai bowl and crepe that we ordered was okay. 1 star because one of the employees yelled at her co-worker who needed help with fixing the tv that shows the menu. She embarassed her co-worker in front of all the customers. There are a lot more places where you can find better tasting food with more professional employees.

    REALLY nice people! However we got the lemon, sugar, butter crepe & its just the crepe. We got it to go so we can't head back to fix. You can barely taste the lemon & there's zero butter & flecks of sugar in the corners - waste of $11!

    At first it seemed like this place was going to be a bust...we walked all the way down Waikiki to get fresh crepes only to find out there would be no crepes because of a broken machine. But their customer service saved the day! While making our decision about what gelato to get, the staff worked hard to get the crepe machine back up and running. Amazing sweet OR savory choices... we tried the ham/pineapple and the Nutella/strawberry/banana. Both delicious and satisfying. Also had the acai bowl and it was a perfect combo of cold acai gelato with crunchy granola and fresh strawberries, blueberries, and banana. Highly recommend the mango gelato asxwell. The only item that we wouldn't get next time would be the kiwi gelato...

    Best acai bowl I had out of three places. I liked better than Island Vintage Coffee and 24/7 at Hilton Waikiki. You get lots of frozen acai. Nice presentation too. About $16 with tax. Friendly staff. Nice place to watch the sunset.

    The place looks very nice and has a variety of things there. I just had coffee Late this morning which tasted rich and delicious. I will try something else there later and update my review.

    Cafe Glacé is a coffee and ice ream shop in Waikiki, we had coffee and almond croissants. Almond croissants were very good, I would go back just for these. The Almond croissants are the best sellers and you will be lucky to find these on the shelf in the afternoon, head out early to this cafe to grab the best and enjoy fresh coffee. Service was good and staff was friendly. I recommend this cafe.

    They serve Illy Coffee here, which is super good. This was my go to coffee shop staying here for a week. Their traditional macchiatos were great. We also really enjoyed their morning glory muffin. It was the perfect pastrie for the morning, a little savory & not too sweet.

    The Duke was amazing - savory and perfect, the pesto was delicious. The Nutella crepe barely had any Nutella, it was almost a nothing crepe. So I love this place, but also I’m really disappointed. So three stars?

    Café Glacé is perfect for a quick sandwich and a bit of gelato. We got one scoop of gelato in a waffle come, and it was a huge serving. We got coconut and salted caramel which were both delicious. We also had a turkey and cheese croissant and a ham and cheese croissant. Both were excellent. They heated them up and took off the lettuce so it did not wilt. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I highly recommend Café Glacé.

    We are currently staying at the Aston Hotel and decided to give Cafe Glacé a try for breakfast. My wife and I have been on a little açaí bowl kick recently so of course we ordered 2 açaí bowls. I also ordered 1 Apple fritter and 1 medium drip coffee. The cashier was nice but a little hard to hear, he speaks very softly. I received my donut right away and then my coffee followed. The reason I put a 3 star is because our 2 açaí bowls came almost 40 minutes later... We had to mention 2 times that we are still waiting. An açaí bowl is a simple thing to make, they actually even have the pre blended portions stored in a fridge ready to go as well...so there really is no reason it should take so long. I will say overall the food was delicious and even though we had a bad experience that does not take away from me recommending their food. As you can see in the pictures my wife was enjoying her bowl and everything looks yummy. Tips: Maybe order online ahead so you can pick up your items without waiting? -Colter

    Cafe Glace on Kalakaua was my go-to breakfast and dessert place while staying in Waikiki last week! We loved all of the food and couldn't wait to try new things the next day. Very generous serves for everything! We especially liked re-ordering the acai bowl, the salami and pesto crepe, and the pineapple muffin. The Nutella crepe was so decadent. I didn't get to vacation long enough to order everything on the menu that I wanted to try, like the banana flambe crepe (next time!). We loved the location (directly under our hotel) and we most always got a table outside, or simply walked our food across to the grassy area at the beach a few more steps away. At night we'd come here for ice cream (sometimes in place of dinner if we'd had a really late lunch) and the flavors were strong, interesting and varied. Our favorites were probably passionfruit and coconut, and I loved the little surfboard-shaped paddle for the spoon. When we were here in 2019, this end of the beach was sorely lacking in good breakfast options. They really needed an ice cream place near the beach too, and I'm glad Cafe Glace meets both those needs! The servers were really nice too! We were so sad to leave the area. Some cons, but only mentioning them because I'd love for this cafe to improve and succeed long term: - Sometimes food service was slow, as the food prep was done to order and many things that could have been pre-sliced were being chopped by hand, so things would be backordered (crepes took the longest). They didn't seem understaffed, just maybe inexperienced and a little inefficient, so more processes or pre-work could be implemented to easily improve there. - Coffee, pastry, and ice cream were quick options. Usually a long line out the door, which is a good sign of popularity but not a good option if you're on the go for work or an activity. - I noticed some confusion on where to stand in line to place an order vs waiting for an order. It can get crowded and sometimes people wait outside which means they didn't hear their name being called. A small speaker or numbering system might help, but maybe this won't be as much of an issue when the busy season dies down? - Sometimes the plexiglass barrier at the checkout made it difficult for the server to hear our order and we had to repeat words multiple times. Since we're still being cautious with Covid, I can't really fault them for that, but maybe there's a solution to improve the acoustics? (I noticed people would pull down their masks or lean around the glass barrier to be heard, which defeats the purpose). Honestly, the cons aren't bad enough for me not to recommend this cafe or keep going back, so please keep doing what you're doing and maybe just make some small changes here and there. We look forward to a return trip!

    Here you can buy coffee or tea, açaí bowl, different tastes crepes and ice cream (gelato or sorbet). There are croissants, muffins and some pastries as well. There are tables with seats located in front of the cafe. No cash payments. Service is not very fast.

    We had the guava with waffle cone. I asked for kids scoop and it was a lot. Flavorful but too much sugar.

  • 5/5 Nader Z. 6 months ago on Google
    Had the Acai bowl and it was excellent. Best one I've had in my time here in Waikiki. Also, very good cappuccino and I went back and had very good ice cream . Great spot.

    Probably one of the better experiences in Honolulu. Always open exactly on time, always friendly and food is much better than many places nearby.

    I go here often for my cup of coffee. I usually am not picky about coffee or notice if one coffee shop has better/worse espresso than another, but Cafe Glacé has changed that about me! They’re espresso is my favorite. I always get an iced latte w/ almond milk and am never disappointed with the coffee or the service. Friend got an açaí bowl here as well, which was good and I got the Chunky Monkey Crepe, which I LOVED.

  • 5/5 Ben L. 1 year ago on Google
    Café Glacé is an excellent spot for crepes. Both the savory and sweet crepes were delicious and we went back for more on 4 different days. The earlier you go the less of a wait there is but it’s never too long. The energy infusion drink is a great alternative to coffee!

    Wide variety of ice creams and sorbet. They give ample portion sizes to. The lemon sorbet is amazing i should have asked for more. The mint chip was nice and we got a lot of it

  • 5/5 Arielle G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and acai bowls for breakfast, delicious crepes and gelato for a nice treat on a hot afternoon by the beach. The crepes are fresh and there are plenty of interesting flavors of gelato to choose from.

  • 4/5 Elizabeth W. 1 year ago on Google
    It took forever to get our drinks, at least they were good drinks. Lots of options available and the açaí bowls were beautiful.

  • 5/5 Rose'lani K. 1 year ago on Google
    They open @ 8am. They do NOT take cash. I ordered the chocolate almond croissant which they heated up, and a hot vanilla latte with coconut milk, which was super hot. The croissant was absolutely delicious! I couldn't stop eating it lol. Nice size too. It really filled me up. The coffee was very good, not too sweet, like most places. Very nice cafe.

    Ordered 3 expensive crepes tonight and returned to our hotel room to eat. One was burnt and one had only one topping of the 3 I ordered. Save yourself the money and trouble.

  • 5/5 Kemlo C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and gelato. Lots of interesting flavors. Still open when other coffee shops close. Staff is very sweet and friendly.

  • 5/5 Omar M. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here fresh in the morning for crepes and coffee, and we were extremely happy with the selection, quality, speed, and friendly service at the cafe. Crepes were delicious and we’ll be ordering them a few more times before heading back home after vacation!

    Sawme's customer service skills is fabulous. He came out and offered napkins and asked if everything is okay. He even offered to dump our trash. I thought he was the owners son. Awesome young gentleman!
