Conversations Café Liliha — Restaurant in Honolulu

Finally made it here, it's close by work, so I always wanted to go, but never had the chance.

It's small, quaint, cute, little coffee and trinket shop. Think of every craft fair type of trinkets.

The shop is very cute, the workers were really nice, they didn't rush us because it was our first time, I didn't notice the sign for the menu outside, so we had to crowd the counter where there was a printed menu. my bad. Lol. Thankfully it wasn't busy.

We ended up getting two different kinds of scones, coffee, sandwiches, and snacks.

Coffee specifically the latte was for me, on the bitter side, just needs some sugar, we ordered it for the design, but since it was "to-go", we didn't get the art on top. But that's ok, hopefully next time we will. 😆

The mocha was really good, nice, smooth, chocolate with coffee.

Sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Ordered the turkey pesto panini and the turkey bacon on a croissant. O. M. G. So good. Totally going back just for the sandos. Dunno what to say other than they're both very well made, and they tasted so good. Lots of filling. Omg.🤤

Scones were good, wish there was more chocolate in the peanut butter chocolate one. But still really good. Inside is moist, outside with a light frosting and crunchy. The other one didn't try yet..

The chex mix furikake was a bit odd tasting, for some reason I was getting tomato sauce flavoring...🤔 But my dad enjoyed it. Lol

Ohhh and parking is always an issue around this area, so they actually have a parking lot right next door, which was nice.

Overall great experience, didn't really check the prices, because when you come to a place this small and hole in the wall, it doesn't matter how much it costs, supporting other small businesses is what I like to do, because if you ever see my other reviews, they're usually the chain restaurants..😭

Besides. I think the sandos (sandwiches) are...

Passed this place by for months because I didn’t care for the “pro-Jesus” Bible thumping verse on the window outside but decided to overlook that this morning to see if it was as cute inside as it was outside and boy what an experience! Except for the Christian smut this place is a feast for the eyes and cute as HELL! Very cutesy but tastefully Sanrio/Harajuku oriented literally from top to bottom. My wallet was opening up all by itself. But on top of that the young man that took my order, after patiently waiting for me to finish taking pictures and videos was thoughtful, sweet, thorough and friendly. My mocha was spot on and although my orange cranberry scone was more biscuity than sconey there were a ton of other items on my list to try next time around including vegan options. What made this place stand out, though, was KINDNESS! There was an older, barefoot, unkempt man in a hospital gown that came into the store and ordered a coffee to go. He had trouble speaking and trouble walking but the young man took his order, served him and then came out to the door and opened it for him so he could walk out easily. When the same man came in later for a second cup of coffee the young man’s friend, who was also a customer, took note and got up and opened the door for him. THAT’s aloha! Put me to shame - I was kind of scared of that man. But those young people showed compassion and aloha. I love it and...

Love the food! It's and the service is spot on. Parking is available. If you see christmas lights on on the corner of Liliha and Kuakini, the Cafe is open. My fab is BanMi chicken salad, yummy, healthy and full of deliciousness. The chicken salad on sweet roll is a winner. Wait there's more, lots of small trinkets like earrings, key chains and other things you might need for a gift and not expensive all. Enjoy and let's have a conversation about this cafe. I will add pictures later. Go to their Instagram or website and see what makes them special. They support small local businesses too!They make coffee too! Enjoy...
