LTCPZZA (888 North Nimitz Highway)

Solid breakfast, but watch out for the milk tax I stopped by for breakfast and overall had a really good experience. The food was tasty and the service was great. My only real complaint is the hefty $1.00 upcharge just to swap to oat milk in my coffee. A bit steep for a splash of plant milk, but otherwise a lovely spot!

This review is 15 years too late tbh. What can I say is this a local family who just makes the bestest macarons EVER. Yes the bread is fantastic, too and their food is quality and yummy as well but again. Macarons. Never - ever liked macarons in my life until I had theirs. I’m from the Bay originally and trust I had tried many kinds of macarons (except in France itself!) and it just wasn’t my thing. Until La Tour reintroduced me. 🤤🤤🤤 the red velvet and cookies n cream are my jam. ✌🏽✌🏽 great splurge as a gift to someone, sure to impress.

Bought so many gifts (macaroons) from here. The gifts were well received. They asked me if I made them and I told them the truth that I got them from La Tour Cafe. People thought that I work for their marketing team since I got them the macaroons couple times already.

Good food and good vibes! We went during a quiet hour (sometime between lunch and dinner) and there were just a few people in the restaurant. Ordered a burger and a (staff recommended) wagyu pho-ggie as well as an iced coffee and mint water. Our favorites were definitely the wagyu pho-ggie and mint water!

La Tour Café Iwilei is a European-inspired café that blends fresh-baked goods, local ingredients, and creative fusion twists on sandwiches, salads, and more. It's perfect for a quick lunch or casual meal, with a bright, modern vibe and reliable quality. One of the absolute highlights is the Wagyu Beef "Pho"ggie — a brilliant mix of pho flavors in sandwich form. Made with premium Snake River Farms American Wagyu beef, it's layered with house-made "Pho" mayo (infused with those classic aromatic spices), leafy greens, shaved onions, cilantro, fresh jalapeño, and a squeeze of lemon, all nestled in a crisp organic rustic baguette. The tender, rich Wagyu melts in your mouth, while the herbs and jalapeño add that perfect zing without overpowering. It's creative, indulgent, and easily one of the best fusion sandwiches I've had in a while. Portions are generous although the entrees do not include a side item so you'll need to order something extra if you want a side salad or fries. Service is friendly and efficient, and the café's overall menu (from paninis to fresh salads and those addictive macarons) shows real attention to detail. We enjoyed this place for a lunch date and would go back again---highly recommended!
