Olena Cafe

Only negative is no bathroom. Food was SO GOOD, so was the coffee/syrup. I spent all week lamenting the lack of vegetarian food around while in town for a conference. I had their food on the last day and it was amazing, I wish I had been eating there all week! Try the carrot "lox" bagel!

Fantastic, healthy, feel-food spot! Many wonderful vegan foods. The lox bagel was something special. Delicious cashew cream cheese with well-marinated veggies that captured the unique lox taste in a way that only plant-based lox can. The breakfast sandwich was a nice, lighter chickpea salad was really nice and left us feeling good. And, as all the reviews suggested, we went for the Olena waffe, which was so pretty and a nice treat to share. Really nice breakfast stop after spending some time walking around Ala Moana. Would highly recommend!

Their waffle??? Spectacular. I couldn’t find a dairy-free waffle ANYWHERE & came here just for that. It didn’t disappoint! I asked for it to be cooked lightly so that it wasn’t crunchy & I am impressed with how great it tasted. The coco-whip tastes exactly like coconut oil so if the isn’t your cup of tea, I’d just avoid it. Their espresso tastes fresh & while the pesto sandwich needed some salt, they did have that available to add. The shots are tasty as well. I’ll be back here before I leave town.
