Located in the heart of Kailua, I found Cinnamons to be as sweet as it’s name with an old fashion quaint feel. Ray and I came here for breakfast. There was a 15 minute wait before we were seated out on the patio.

Ray ordered the Meat and Eggs which is Two large farm-fresh eggs & choice of homefries, rice, biscuit, pancakes or hash browns and bacon or ham or Pork sausage for $7.95. He chose the ham with the pancakes. Everything was yummy.

I ordered the same, but like always I like to switch things up a bit so I substituted the regular pancakes for carrot pancakes with cream cheese sauce. I never had carrot pancakes and was curious. I asked for the cream cheese sauce on the side. One word, Amazing! I know the carrot part is misleading because it sounds a little too healthy and weird pancakes but have you ever had carrot cake. That’s exactly what these pancakes tasted like and if you think carrot cake is healthy, think again. I’m sure these pancakes were no different. The cream cheese sauce was rich, sweet, creamy and so freaking good. I daydreamed about taking the sauce home and spreading it over toast, bagels, ice cream, chips, chicken strips . . . “more coffee Mis?”

“Uh, no thanks but can I get some more of this cream cheese sauce please?” Ray reluctantly tried the pancakes and he too was surprised. He goes, “That’s something that I would never think to order, but that’s really good.

I got nothing but love for this place. If you want to check it out click below.

The Greek Corner is a cute little cafe close to the University. From my experience, the closer to the college means the cheaper the food. This place had good service, nice atmosphere and fair prices with hefty portions. Gyro sandwiches were $5.96, the most expensive salad was $6.95, appetizers were affordable and didn’t go over $6.00. I ordered hommos, for $4.95 and that’s the way it was spelled on the menu. I’ve always seen it spelled hummus but hommos is a little more entertaining to say. It was a little oily but still delicious and came with a pita bread cut into four pieces. The pita bread was good but was hot like it was microwaved rather than hot like it was fresh. There wasn’t enough bread and we had to order more for .75 cents. I didn’t mind because they really gave generous portions of hommos. Yes, hommos is definitely more amusing to say, even if it is pronounce hummus. I prefer homos. The hommos was fantastic but a bit greasy. There’s just so much hommos, don’t you think? Alright, let us move on.

I also ordered a Mixed Plate. It was a nice variety of gyros beef and lamb topped with Tzatzif, (I don’t know what that is either), along with marinated boneless chicken baked in slow fire, and topped with a garlic mayo sauce, served with a Greek salad and pita bread. All for the special price of $10.95. Ray and I shared it and it was more than plenty. Everything was scrumptious. I definitely will be back.

Bogart’s is one of my favorite places to have breakfast. It’s one of those places where no matter what you order you can’t go wrong. The last two times I’ve gone I’ve ordered the Lox Bagel. Now, I know I’m all about trying new things, unless it’s just that freaking good and that it is.

The Lox Bagel cost me $7.75 and is a bagel with cream cheese, capers, onions and tomato topped with smoked salmon. I think everyone should experience one in their lifetime. I like to have it for breakfast but I think this could swing for any meal.

My advice however is to go to Bogart’s for breakfast. I was there the other day for lunch and service was horrible. Ray came to the table after ordering our food and said, “I don’t think pregnant people should be aloud to work.” Our food was delivered to us in a plastic bag and practically thrown at us. The girl was pregnant so maybe her hormones were all out of wack but I still don’t think that should allow her a, “I get to be a biatch” card. Like I said, go for breakfast; service is good in the morning and sucks during the day.
