First time in Hawaii back in February....Was recommend the cinnamon’s restaurant at ILIKAI...Absolutely loved the place...Great food and Great staff and Great cocktails...I would recommend this restaurant to family and friends that are traveling over to Hawaii...
Best food and best service ever love this place would recommend to friends to go here great breakfast menu
It was my first time to Cinnamon's Waikiki and I was amazed at the portions of food, nice people, and beautiful setting overlooking the Ala Wai Marina. I understand that not only do they offer a world-class breakfast, but also happy hour and dinner as well/ live music on the weekends, and a gorgeous private buffet area with adjoining terrace for private parties👯🎉🎈🍸🎶. With the holidays coming up, I will def keep this in mind: most definitely will be back!

Was highly recommended by several people and it did not disappoint. Will make a point to go again before heading back to Florida.

If you’re expecting to sit down to eat by a certain time, get there early because there is a wait. However, they were on point on telling you how long your wait time would be! Ours was only 30 minutes, but I wasn’t there with my husband. If I was, 30 minutes would have been too long for him! They give you a pager so you don’t need to sit right outside the door, but don’t go wandering too far! Plus, you have to make sure your entire party is present before they seat you, but don’t worry because you’ll be at the top of the list and you just have to let them know when your party has arrived. Let’s be honest here, you are not going to order anything until everyone arrives anyway, because you want to know what the next person is ordering! Am I not right? They have seating inside and outside; we sat inside. We came from the back side, so we walked thru the outdoor seating, I’m so glad we sat inside. I guess they seat outdoor first, assuming people like the fresh air, but there was so much chatter. I have nothing against chatter because that’s the only thing us 4 females did was chatter, laugh, drink and eat the ono food! Yes, our food was delicious! Well, I can surly attest for my red velvet pancake and homemade cornbeef hash (cooked crisp outside, just right inside) and let’s not forget the lilikoi mimosas! The others were just as pleased with their food too! The ambience was very relaxing and the view was spectacular. The entire staff was friendly, from when we entered, our waiter and the staff clearing the tables. Will we be going there again? Of course!
Short ribs were amazing. Good beer selection. Right by the marina. Our server Kai was amazing.
The restaurant is absolutely great especially there breakfast dishes I would definitely go there again not just for breakfast but for lunch and dinner as well definitely go back
Been to Waikiki three times now... This is in the top three places to eat for sure! Apple pancakes are a must!
The food was well prepared, and looked as good as it tasted. We sat at the bar, and were given the best service possible by Derek. He is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen and still maintains an incredibly positive and friendly attitude.
My husband and I stayed in the Ilikai Condos and came across Cinnamon's pretty quickly. We were in Waikiki for 9 days and ate at Cinnamon's for all but 2 breakfasts. The food was amazing! The drinks were great, the staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was nice! We highly recommend Cinnamon's whether you stay at Ilikai or not!
Our server (who's name I can't remember, but he was very tall) was fantastic. One of his other tables was a bit rude to him but he handled it with aplomb. We thought he was wonderful. The food was great. Our server recommended the crispy chicken sandwich to my boyfriend and he was very pleased. I got the homemade cinnamon roll and the garlic fries which were both very good.
The location is right by the water, making the atmosphere perfect. I recommend sitting on outside to maximize the atmosphere.
Seating was very quick as we got here at 745am. It was already busy but amazing
I recommend the moco loco as the main dish if you're hungry, it's the main breakfast of the Hawaiian. It's definitely recommended to only use white rice and always do the over easy eggs, this is the Hawaiian way and was also recommended by the bar tender!
The fried pork were absolutely amazing, crispy and soft and not oily at all. The combination of running eggs, white rice and soy sauce with a hint of lemon citrus was the exact morning meal I needed because I was hungry!
The mushroom omelette was solid. Not above nor below average omelette.
Lastly we had the coffee with Kahlua and spicy rum and it was just the kick we needed to start our day.
The cinnamon roll pancakes!! Amazing! Unique in my experience. I can only think of one other place I've ever had these.
I also had the crab cake Benedict and a side of spam delicious meal and I didn't need to eat for a while.
Delicious food and drinks! The POG ( I think that’s what they call it) is the best! Taste like Hawaii! My favorite dish was the build your own omelet. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Be sure to sit outside for the views of the harbor.
Had a great experience with the family. Food was excellent, service was great and the live music on the morning was amazing.
The pork belly loco moco was so tasty and my wife enjoyed the Tropical Stuffed French toast! (I had some too and it was delectable!)
It was an awesome breakfast sot with friends. We had a bit of a wait- we were notified by text when our table is ready. If you aren't picky, there is not a bad view. Even from the middle I had a beautiful view of the sky above the seas and of the marina. Our server was amazing. The food we had was delicious ! We'd dine here again before our stay is complete.
Waited 20 minutes for a table and got seated at a nice spot with stools and a beautiful view of the Waikiki Marina. Breakfast was delicious! 😋 Generous portion of Smoked Salmon on a Benedict with added Avocado 🥑 AND "Chile Killes" made with Tortilla Chips and Kalua Pork, like Hawaiian Style Mexican Chilaquiles. Nice atmosphere and view in the Ilikai Hotel.
This restaurant came highly recommended by so many people that we knew it would be good. Be prepared for quite a wait, though. We went two days in a row but it was just too long of a wait as we had plans. The third day we made no plans in the morning so we decided we were going to stick it out. The wait was about a little over an hour, and boy was it worth it.
The food was exquisite! The tropical French toast with mango and cream cheese was to die for!(see picture)My husband had the pistachio pancakes which were equally outstanding.
Our server, Gabe, knew damn near the whole menu by heart. He was friendly, warm, and took excellent care of us. Cannot recommend enough, just plan for a wait!
Cinnamon's at the Ilikai is one of our perennial favourites for breakfast whatever we visit Waikiki. It's usually busy so we tend to go when it opens. Their patio bar has a nice view of the Ala Wai Boat Harbour (remember Gilligan's Island?). You can also find parking at the harbour (it was $1/hr when we visited last April).
No visit to Hawaii would be complete without some POG (passion fruit, orange, guava) juice.
I love the crispy tater tots that they serve here... So addictive and I've never found any better. You can get their Benedict's in half size servings (ie. one instead of two Benedict's). The kalua pork is juicy and tender while the poached egg is perfectly runny.
We also usually get the guava chiffon pancakes (short stack) - the pancakes are light and fluffy and melt on your tongue. The top layer tends to be sweeter from the syrup and you have to take your pics quick otherwise the whipped cream will just melt away.
If you love pancakes then this place is a must try.
Located on the ground floor of the llikai Hotel in the marina area, not far from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. No bookings taken so we put our names on the list at the door and waited around 30 minutes for our table to be called.
They are a bit short staffed but the staff that are there work super-hard and are fantastic.
The cornbeef hash with poached eggs is the best I’ve had - it’s one of my all time favourites! The country tots are delicious too. But it’s the pancakes that take the cake here - they are huge , thick and delicious.
We had a 1/2 stack each (one buttermilk and one Guava Chiffon) but had trouble finishing it. They are really excellent and worth the visit alone!
Filter coffee was great too, and is bottomless.
Highly recommended!
Overall 8.2/10, i will come back.
Customer service was pretty mid, i was shown to my table and my order was taken, but nothing special. The guava juice was a 8.9/10 and the lemonade was a 7.5/10 for me, it was more on the tart side, so if you like that then get it.Our food came out extremely fast so props to the chef! Pancakes were a 9.4/10, absolutely delicious, tasted just like a cinnamon roll, but not to sweet. Very good with the butter. The omelet was a 7.5/10, pretty standard for an omelet, nothing special but still good. They had 2 musicians that sounded pretty good and some background music in between breaks. The worst part of this is the birds flying and walking around the Restaurant, which. They can only do so much about understandably. Best place for parking is lagoon beach parking lot, $2 for 2 hours.
If your in the area, check this place out.

My wife and I really enjoyed our breakfast at Cinnamons. We ate their 3 times while on vacation. Their signature pancake the Guava pancakes were delicious. We also enjoyed the Cinnamon Bun and red velvet pancakes they were some delicious offerings we enjoyed. I also will give the local dish the Loco Movo a 5-star from here.
We read a blog somewhere that said we should try Cinnamon’s when visiting Oahu. So glad we did! My Guava Chiffon pancakes were the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten. I couldn’t finish them all so our whole table got to try them. My grandson ordered the Kal-Bi Moco and said it was phenomenal! In fact, every day after we ate there, he asked if we could go back to Cinnamon’s for breakfast. My husband and daughter liked what they had but said the pancakes and the Kal-Bi Moco blew everything away. The only negative was the gross women’s bathroom. It was filthy and needed repair.
Very nice restaurant! The food was great, service with a smile. Lovely views. We ate there several times throughout our stay on the Island.
What a convenience to have this delicious restaurant at the bottom of our hotel. Get there early or be prepared to wait about 30 minutes for a table. They have great coffee and some really tasty dishes with a tropical flare. The guava pancakes were amazing as was the short rib Loco Moco.
This place was also recommended by our luau friends (Deana and the Marine) and I'm so happy they told us about it.
We were greeted and placed on the waiting list and it took a minute I mean to the point where I went up to confirm they had the right number but granted it was a lot of people waiting but still.
Anyways the food and good service was worth the wait. Don't let the long line or wait deter your from eating here!
I love breakfast and this was top tier. I wish they'd put my icing between each pancake but it was delicious!!! Potatoes cooked perfectly. Pancakes very silky soft fluffy and full of the flavor of the red velvet. I ordered my eggs cooked hard and the were sooo good, perfect with the cheese melted on top.
It was expensive $70+ but the portion size was decent and I had leftovers for lunch! I would 100% recommend.
Yummm our favorite breakfast in Waikiki in Honolulu. Amazing bloody marry, wonderful service and delicious pancakes. The kids loved the sprinkled pancakes with whip cream on top. Enjoyed a hot cup of coffee as well. Ocean views were just across from our table and the prices weren’t bad either. Not a lot of good breakfast spots with an ocean view and quality food and service, so was very happy to find this place.
What a wonderful breakfast menu. I had the Hawaiian Omelet which has pork in it and some kind of leaves and it was so delicious. The Macadamia Nut Muffin was good but it needs more of the nuts in it. The service was great. We went early and did not have to wait for a table. The cinnamon roll has a touch of pineapple flavor in it which was different but good. We had to sample the Red Velvet Pancakes, yes they are delicious 😋
