Olena Cafe - Honolulu

I had the BLT turns out coconut isn’t my favorite bacon substitute, but I still enjoyed my sandwich overall. Fast, friendly service

I walked in and I immediately felt safe knowing that everything is vegan. The staff are lovely and you can tell everything is made with love. The coffee is great and the bagel with the vegan salmon is amazing.

Pre-bottled juice and a grilled cheese that was made in an oven. There are better choices nearby such as the Foodland grocery store where you can buy things. Or even the Whole Foods. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-27

I went there thinking they only had few vegan options, then I discovered everything is vegan except few items made with honey. The food was great, the staff really kind. I highly recommand.

I stayed at the nearby Ala Moana Hotel and had breakfast here 3-4 days in a row. I really loved the macadamia nut-pesto avocado toast, and the açaí bowl was filling. The BLT was a small sandwich and with a latte each time, you can’t get out of there for under $20. Seems all of Honolulu is pricey as ever with inflation and island economy dynamics.
