Cloud Nine Cafe — Restaurant in Honolulu

We came here with low expectations since it was a last minute find with our fluffy soufflé pancakes cravings. This spot only seats about 4-5 people so it is tiny — we got lucky to find two seats to enjoy our soufflé pancakes there. We opted to try the pineapple and mango li hing one with a matcha latte (50% sweetness). The fluff was great and freshly warm — I’m surprised it came out so quickly too. I like the eggy taste in the pancakes so it was great. Make sure each bite is smothered in the mango and li hing sauce to have the best bite each time. The matcha drink was also delicious with actual matcha flavor and not too sweet. It helped balance the soufflé since it was sweet, so the drink being lighter in sweetness was perfect. It was a total around $19. There’s a parking lot you need to pay for behind the shop, but they validate for 20 minutes if you can get there and eat within that timeframe, and even if you go over, it’s only $1...

Walking past this cute little shop on Sunday 11am and decided to go in. Never saw this shop before and wow-okay they have been here for at least a year already. Owner is very friendly and took the time to let me know she enjoys making food and baking these sweet treats. Ordered the "milk tea" castella cake and owner was kind enough to slice into 6 pieces. Packed in a very cute box with forks and napkins. Unpacked a short while later and the reactions were positive. Sally: Its good, not too sweet and would go well with tea or coffee. Gordon: Its delicious! Tim: Moist cake and strong tea flavor Susan: This is yummy! Maria: Oh! Dis is sooo good. Where you got dis? I agree with Sally, cake is dry on the outside (good with tea). Center is moist and foamy fluffy /almost souffle style. Price is under$3/slice. Coming here again to try the souffle pancakes along with the other castella cake flavors. Yes , recommend to my family...

I came here mostly for some brown sugar boba, but I also got the chocolate Oreo pancake. The brown sugar boba was good. I made the mistake of getting 50% sugar (again), so it was not as sweet as I wanted it. The Choco pancake was really tasty I've never had a pancake so soft and fluffy. My friends got tea eggs. They said it was really good, but I don't like egg so I did not really care for it. The only problem I had with this place is the lack of seating. There is two tables and four chairs. My friends and I had to find somewhere else to enjoy our pancakes. This isn't the fault of the owner, so I understand. It was just...
