This was our first stop while exploring the North Shore for the first time. Our family’s tradition is that if there a a restaurant with the same name/ nickname or title as one of our family members we eat there! Well Nani means maternal Grandmother in Hindi and we had our Nani with us -this place was amazing. Great quality food and coffee and beautiful food warm hearted people working there. The gave my Mother a Honourary “Nani’s Cafe shirt”- she loves it and wears it with pride and tells everyone of our time there - we hope to return soon.Thank you for making our time there memorable. You all touched our hearts.

I really enjoyed trying all of the vegetarian Hawaiian foods. Very impressed with all the different options and vegetarian choices available. The ube potato salad and macaroni salad were my favorites, but I also liked the noodles and tofu. Service was great, and the lady working was excited to give me her vegetarian recommendations. I liked the cafeteria style service here, and we were able to make it a quick stop between activities.

Get the large bento box and fill it with the potato salad, miso chicken, a fish cake and chow fun noodles… great food great price. And don’t forget the I’ve donut holes!!! Add a “get nutz” latte… and you’re good to go!

Get yourself over to Nani’s asap. How can such good food be so cheap?! Breakfast and coffee for only $14. Plus the ube mochi donuts are the best I’ve had and they’re gluten and dairy free.

Nani’s has become my new favorite spot in Waialua for bomb coffee and bento boxes! Their prices are also super reasonable! I love their outdoor seating area and vibes. I’m really happy they opened up and highly recommend!
