Peace Cafe

Peace Café is located in the Mōʻiliʻili neighborhood, (next door from the Kim Chee III restaurant). If you don't know where that is........just look across the street from the Ross Dress for Less in Mōʻiliʻili. It is a smaller restaurant with one large table in the middle, and some smaller tables and counter space surrounding it. Restrooms that require a key are located in back as well. You can pick up the key from the cashier area.

Parking: Parking can be tricky so pay attention to the street signs as there are specific times that you can not park in front of the building and if you do, the parking is metered. The rear parking has only a few space and side-street parking can be limited as well.

This is a casual, low-key, calm place. Just order at the counter, get your own water and utensils, then seat yourself. The food was very good and the portions were enough to satisfy. Tip: Ask for any special dessert off the menu because there are surprises by Chef Shota.

One of the very few restaurants that serve organic food. Cups and straws are eco friendly. Food is great. Lots of veggies and variety if you get a plate.

Comfortable, close atmosphere. Friendly people. The BBQ Tempeh Plate was good and the slaw it contained was delicious. Cornbread was very tasty, but dry.

Peace Cafe does internationally-inspired healthy cuisine that I would describe as "homestyle plus." Both of the two dishes I tried were about three parts simple and healthy to one part amazing flavor. I would've liked more of the amazing flavors in the mix, personally, but I still much enjoyed my meals. Those who appreciate healthy, fresh food prepared with good ingredients and not overcooked should be very happy here (especially if you've overdosed on the fried food at most other local veg places). Service was warm and friendly.

Enjoy!

So many veg places focus on BS like fake meats. Peace Cafe has great, real food. Very tasty too.

Coffee sucks though, don't even try it.

The exterior of the eatery seems a little bland, but when you walk in it's as if you enter of vegan oasis. Everything has a very cute, cafe, peaceful vibe. The staff was very friendly and nice. I did not feel rushed or ignored.
OKAY NOW, the food was amazing. I had the yogini entree and my dad had the tex mex entree. My plate was probably the best vegan meal I've had out to eat (4 years of doing this btw). The purple rice was amazing, the daikon radish was WOW, the tahini sauce was great. Same with the kale and beans. Everything! My dad enjoyed his meal as well. Will be back for round two soon!!

And of course thank you to Peace Cafe. Finding good vegan food can be very hard while traveling, and you've filled my heart with so much joy :)

Cozy 100% WFPB vegan cafe. The food is delicious and the portions are satisfying. Save room for a cup of coffee!

My favorite vegan restaurant on Oahu. Delicious food at reasonable prices.

It is a 26 min walk to Peace Cafe from the beach hotels at Waikiki, but well worth it. I ordered the Popeye sandwich and a cold soy latte. I loved them both and was so full after eating the sandwich that I not only couldn't eat any dessert but I didn't crave any food later in the night. There are only about 6 individual tables and one large community type table to eat-in. They also seem to take many to go orders over the phone. Their menu listed homemade vegan ice cream, vegan cheesecake, and mochi cakes. I hope to try some of them while I am here. The guy behind the counter said the Yogini is their most popular dish, but I had been hoping for a sandwich the whole walk over there. Recommend highly! Nice atmosphere and good food. I took a taxi back to hotel which only cost me $15 (with tip).

I have eaten here several times the past 2-3 years. The food is always very nutritious and yummy! It is always nicely presented and the staff are friendly. I always eat here once or twice when on O'ahu. The price compares to food anywhere. Eat here and be healthy!!

The food was absolutely delicious and so wholesome. It was made with such love and care. The staff are lovely. Wish it were my local.

Cozy, friendly cafe not far from Waikiki offering a variety of salads, sandwiches, light entrees and smoothies. Fresh, plant-based ingredients. Menu includes brief descriptions of all items and there are photos on the wall as well. We ate one meal here every day while vacationing in Waikiki, trying something new every time, and was always happy. Now open for breakfast too, offering a tasty tofu scramble, green salad, avocado toast and soup... yummy!

Pleasant surprise! All yummy, we had the Hanoi and the black eyed peas meal! We shared the cheesecake and the Caesar salad- I must say the salad is a must order. We drove right past the place!

walked from Waikiki on a rainy, very windy day, but certainly glad I made it! very good selection of food and drinks. looking forward to try their vegan cheesecake for dessert, but informed they're out... looking forward to my next visit and hope they have it!

Amazing Cesaer salad!!! Very friendly staff. The cheesecake and mochi cake are also great!

Lovely place run by peaceful folks. The "Heart and Seoul" was pretty health-foody. The taco rice, while not junk food by any means, was awesome and I expect anyone would enjoy it. Followed that with a sundae of homemade vegan ice cream, sweet but not too sweet, and left feeling happy and, yes, peaceful.

Based on the reviews and walking distance, this was our first stop after arriving to Honolulu and we were not disappointed. I had the Avo-Veggie sandwich and my husband had the Soy-Soba salad and both were delicious. I could only eat half of the sandwich so the paper wrapping was perfect to take with me. They have a dinner menu so we may try that next. Small and casual so seating is limited but service and food was great.

We had the hanoi sandwich and popey salad and it was absolutely delicious!!
And definately get their homedmade ice cream with chocolate sauce for a desert!

BEST VEGAN FOOD IN HONOLULU!!
