Honolulu Museum of Art Café — Restaurant in Honolulu

TLDR: Food is excellent. Service is wonderful. Welcoming atmosphere. Make a reservation. You can eat at the cafe without a membership or museum admission (tell front desk you are just dining), but the museum itself is lovely, so don't deprive yourself on the visit.

HoMA Cafe is one of my favorite spots in Honolulu. The food is always fresh, portions are substantial, and you can choose something healthy or something a little (or quite) indulgent dependent on your mood. Marco, Heather, Kaela, Joey, Mercy, Teresa, Andrea, June, and Kenny always deliver a wonderful experience. (The staff in the kitchen must be fabulous, too, I just don't know their names, but mahalo for consistently turning out delicious food!) If you like chocolate, don't skip the pot de crème (no photo, must remedy on my next trip). Perfect for a peaceful solo dining experience or to meet up with friends or co-workers.

It had a little bit of a kick and went very well with the eggs too.

Parking is free right along the front of the museum on Sundays, so that was a massive perk as well. Highly recommend for...

What a delightful surprise to find a PERFECT turkey sandwich in such a gorgeous setting! Don't wait for Thanksgiving leftovers because you won't be able to match this experience. Thickly sliced, moist, tender breast meat, succulent tomato & crisp lettuce between slices of the freshest bread, and generous portions of each ingredient. Then there's the cranberry condiment on the side that you may want to just eat with a spoon! All that would be more than enough for 5 stars, but no, they're going for perfect here. There is also a generous salad of lightly dressed greens with candied walnuts. I mean, come on, how often do you find perfection? Mahalo to the...
