This may be one of our most favorite restaurant stops during our vacations to the Big Island. This particular visit was my fifth in the last two years. They are open for breakfast and lunch and offer plenty of local options including preparations using macadamia nuts, coconut syrup and fresh fish to assure authentic island cuisine. Prices are good too, with most breakfast meals running about $10.
On this visit, we stopped in for breakfast on our way out to the Kona coffee region. I went simple with the daily special of strawberry topped pancakes. The two stacker was plenty and complemented with a side of bacon. I must admit, I would have preferred fresh strawberries rather than the variety that has the overly sweet strawberry sauce holding the berries together. Truth is, I wanted a side bowl of fruit, which they said they didn't have...so I ordered the strawberry topped pancakes, with the strawberries on the side. Oh well, it was still delicious, just not what I really had a hankering for.
David had some omelet burrito concoction that had way too many things it in for my tastes. Besides the expected eggs, ham, and cheese his burrito had onions, green peppers, Mexican salsa, and sour cream (on the side). He loved it, although he did have a bit of heartburn for the better part of the afternoon.
When I go to the Aloha Angel Cafe, one of the highlights (besides the good food) are the green geckos that provide entertainment as they run along the railing of the outdoor patio area. They are not pests in that they will not get onto your table or plate. If you put out a small dab of jelly or honey, they will come to slick the sweet delight.
When you leave stop to check out the fresh baked goods in the case at the register. The brownies are heavenly but my favorite is the chocolate chip with macadamia nut cookies. We always pick up a couple for later in the day.
If you are heading out of Kailua Town for either the coffee farms or even Volcanoes National Park, this is an ideal place to stop in for breakfast or lunch.
