Cream Pot is a breakfast and brunch spot tucked away on Niu Street in Honolulu, where French-inspired dishes meet a distinctly local touch. This full-service restaurant leans into the morning and midday meal experience with an emphasis on delicate soufflé pancakes, eggs Benedict made with house-cured grass-fed beef, and inventive rice cake bases that nod to Hawaiian ingredients. The menu moves beyond typical brunch fare, including items like French onion soup and Burgundy beef stew omelets, blending comfort and finesse in a way that invites a slower, more thoughtful meal.

The atmosphere inside Cream Pot is a calm, cozy refuge. Vintage and eclectic antiques from travels dot the space, creating a warm, lived-in feeling that encourages lingering over your coffee or savoring those creamy crepes. The dining room feels intimate without being cramped, making it a quiet place to start weekends or a peaceful weekday brunch. Service tends to match the pace of the food—unhurried, with genuine care—though it means visiting early can help avoid wait times.

Cream Pot’s coffee offerings, like their blend iced coffee or Kona coffee, provide balance alongside the rich, richly textured dishes. Portions may seem modest relative to price, but the focus here is on quality ingredients and artistry. The spot attracts a mix of locals who appreciate nuanced brunches and travelers seeking a meal that goes beyond standard Hawaii fare. If you're coming for the strawberry soufflé pancakes or the unique beef eggs Benedict with miso wasabi sauce, plan on spending an hour or so soaking up the atmosphere as much as enjoying the food.

This restaurant feels best suited for those who want a relaxed morning or early afternoon break with attentive service and a bit of culinary creativity. It’s a step away from the beach crowds, offering a chance to slow down in an environment that values details—both in the menu and the surroundings. Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a quiet solo retreat, or marking a special occasion, Cream Pot’s charm lies in its blend of homey warmth and thoughtful refinements.

The vibe here is just perfect. The atmosphere is so charming and the service was wonderful. The food was really good and the coffee was great. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but honestly, it's worth it for the overall experience. Highly recommended for a special breakfast or brunch!

Eclectic restaurant known for their heavenly soufle pancakes and creamy bennedict. Spread thru the restaurant are antiques from travels. The owner is welcoming.

I got the omelet and my friend got the eggs benedict. It was okay, a little bland. Service is slow and there can be a little bit of a wait so get there early. Their drinks are good, but they come in a super small glass which is frustrating because they are so expensive. Atmosphere, however, is so aesthetic and cute.

Very cute cafe. Loved the ambience and service. The quality of food is great (souffle pancakes with mixed berries and Hawaiian Benedicts were great). It's a bit pricey but I'd say it's worth it!

What a pleasant surprise. Cream Pot is a gem. French omelettes and soufflé pancakes to perfection. It’s hard to find farm to table differentiation in Hawaii. This little Secret Garden fused with delicate French morning cuisine is truly special. You will not be disappointed. Ambiance is peaceful, charming, and one where your time with someone is more important than turning a table. Courteous Service completes your experience by not being disruptive or absent. Everyone there is keeping a watchful eye. I suggest you try everything, come back often. And note: parking is hotel plentiful and validated, try to keep your party size to four or less and keep a watchful eye out for the best little restaurant greeter, he works long hours but keeps it real. I’ll be back. 5 stars!

Wow! This place is a hidden gem we found on our morning walk. It wasn't open so we came back later in the week and I am glad we did! Amazing doesn't even begin to describe the experience and food. My husband and I ordered the beef burgundy omelet (sounds weird I know) and the lemon and blueberry Souffle Pancakes. Both were incredible. Very high quality and whoever the chef is you can tell they are well trained and is bringing unique dishes to the table. Highly recommend. A little pricey, but worth every penny. Will be a place we visit when we come back to Waikiki. Hats off to this place. Bravo! Our photos are of the lovely patio where we dined. Everyone was inside so we had the lovely patio to ourselves!

The service has been one of the best spots yet on our stay in Oahu! Our server was incredible & friendly and answered all of our questions well. The atmosphere is adorable cottage style. It felt very cozy and welcoming. And last but not least the food! I had the beef stew omelet, my husband had the cured grass fed beef Benedict special and we shared a plate of the strawberry soufflé pancakes. Everything was DELISH! Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area, the coffee is sooo good too!!
