Westman Cafe + Lounge

I am usually hesitant with ordering omelettes because I have a specific way I like eggs to be cooked, but this was the best surprise ever. Egg was fluffy and flavorful, and the spinach, mushroom, bacon was enjoyable to the very end. My wife got the wagyu loco moco and I can attest that the gravy and beef are amazing. Love the burst of flavor versus the overpowering taste of salt most places have for their gravy in a loco moco. Mimosas are so so so good, especially the guava, because they use quality champagne that will not give you a headache like others. Be sure to visit soon, looks like they are moving to Ward Village in the near future and won’t be available to Waikiki.

The atmosphere and ambiance was fantastic! We had made reservations for early morning at 8am. The staff was very friendly from when we got checked in to be seated and served. It does begin to fill up around 9:30 am so make sure to make reservations or arrive early to avoid waiting. We stopped by because we saw their popular soufflé pancakes were a fan favorite. The mango sauce was great! Pancakes were soft and fluffy; however, the taste just wasn't quite there. They tasted a bit bland. I was slightly disappointed, but I recommend you try them out. My girlfriend really liked them, especially when paired with the mango sauce.

We were so glad to find WESTMAN as we were seeking for an upscale breakfast place where we could enjoy views and have a conversation. You are greeted in a lobby and once you check-in, you're led to the dining hall upstairs. Super woody and high ceilings with an entire wall of sunlight coming in. Immediately we were enamored by the atmosphere. Food was amazing. You must get the souffle pancakes. These are made with beaten egg whites, slowly cooked. They take a while to prepare but are absolutely worth it. Also the French toast is made with their house-made brioche - thick, crispy and soft. Just perfect. The food comes out on a bit blander side but they do provide amazing compote (a matcha drizzle!) and syrup. The only blemish is I think they can use better coffee beans. Service was fabulous and overall we fell in love with WESTMAN. Yes, it is a bit pricey but it is totally worth it. We'll be back whenever we're in town.
