This homey cafe is decorated around the idea of a Hawai'ian holiday. They offer fresh griddled pancakes and hand-poured drip coffee.

The juicy patties are paired with creamy avocado, crisp onion, and lots of tomato and topped with tartar sauce for the perfect flavor combo.

駐車場にかがり火がたくさんともしてあり、店舗の内外装とともにハワイの雰囲気を醸し出しています。喫煙所が屋外にありますが、寒い日でもかがり火を見ながら喫煙すると暖かい感じがしました。

アルバイトスタッフの出入りが激しい。まともなスタッフ教育もしない状態で客を選ぶ社員がおり挨拶もしない。総じてアルバイト、社員に限らずスタッフによって接客レベルや商品知識の差があり食べ終わっても、ずっと話し込んでいるマナーの悪い客にも注意もしないので混雑する時間帯は長時間待たされる覚悟が必要。そういう不当な扱いを受けることもあって利用を控えるようになりました。
