A true island gem — amazing food and atmosphere! We had such a great experience at Heavenly Island Lifestyle! The food was absolutely delicious — especially the steak and eggs, which were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The steak was tender and juicy, and the eggs were just right — a perfect start to the day! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a great island vibe and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Everything felt fresh, local, and full of aloha. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Heavenly Island Lifestyle to anyone looking for great food and genuine Hawaiian hospitality! 🌺🥩🍳 PS They offer free parking across the street, they will validate your ticket. This morning during our vacation we came here for breakfast. They have quite a good selection of standard breakfast options. Each of us tried something different, and I can say the breakfasts were pretty tasty. I had French toast with Hawaiian fruits — the fruits were fresh and delicious, and the toast was good as well. The coffee was okay, but I can’t really say I liked the matcha. It was very hot, not prepared correctly, and the amount of matcha powder was off, which made it quite bitter. The service was pleasant, and there are comfortable outdoor seating areas. Overall, this is a place you could definitely return to for breakfast or maybe lunch. The only thing I’d wish for is better quality in the drinks, like coffee and matcha. In general, a positive impression🥰 This review is long overdue because the food here is absolutely heavenly—every single dish is made to perfection and full of incredible flavor. I went with my mom and we shared everything so we could try a bit of everything. We started with a Brewed Iced Coffee and also tried Heavenly’s Smoothies Energy, an acai, strawberry, blueberry, and banana blend with soy milk—everything was really good. For the main course, we had the Manoa Honey French Toast made with locally baked sweet bread, organic vanilla, whipped cream, and topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. It was out of this world—perfectly fluffy, sweet, and so fresh. We also ordered the Pho Noodle, a local-style pho with chicken, house-made chicken and beef bone broth, cilantro, and all the classic toppings—spicy ground chili sauce, hoisin, jalapeño, and lime. On the side, we had Portuguese Sausage, which added the perfect savory touch. To finish, we shared the Hawaiian Ginger Crème Brûlée, a local egg custard flavored with Big Island ginger and topped with sugar caramel. It was creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious. Everything from start to finish was amazing. Even the attention to detail with cleanliness and kitchen/sanitization made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. The customer service was also excellent—super friendly and attentive. Honestly, the food is so good here that I just want to keep coming back again and again.

Sooo good. There was a bit of a wait for morning brunch, but it was worth it. Atmosphere is nice and cozy and the waitstaff is nice. I loved every item we ordered

A very unique & lovely small restaurant with Japanese words and pictures on the menu. The server was very friendly and recommended the Egg Benedict, which was filled with shredded pork and was quite delicious. We also ordered the Loco moco, which was also great and was served with whole grain rice. I like the laid-back feel here !
