The first item i tried from this restaurant which convinced me to come back several more times during my trip to try more! Contains #beets , purple #sweetpotato , cucumbers, sea asparagus, jalapeño, #avocado covered in a delicious sauce and seasoned well. The sticky rice was also well seasoned. I'm not a fan of papaya but this comes with a sizeable piece. $20.95 for the plate which makes a very filling meal! Or can easily be split into 2 servings if you aren't starving. There are 2 locations next to each other, one is a branded as a coffee bar and the other a wine bar, but they have the same menu for breakfast and lunch. The wine bar is usually much less busy, with literally no wait during lunch time.

Another delicious item from this restaurant!! Incredibly flavorful dish with #kakiage (vegetable tempura), spicy #tofu poke (spicy aioli, sea asparagus, cucumber, green onion), drizzle sweet soy sauce, spicy aioli, garlic yuzu rice. The veggie tempura has a great crunchy texture on the outside. The sauces and seasoning pair perfectly. And I appreciate how thoughtful the entire menu is--they have a separate #plantbased menu with notes on customizations so that it is very clear what is available and if you need to ask for a dairy free milk or if there is honey in something. There's also a #glutenfree menu to help you order gf friendly. $22.95 before tax. Very large and filling portion that could definitely be split into 2 meals. Very nice and helpful staff. There are 2 locations right next to each other and this is technically the wine bar, not the coffee location. BUT they have the same menu for breakfast and lunch, with the wine bar being way less busy. The coffee spot usually has a much longer wait whereas we were immediately seated at the wine bar (they have tables, it's not just a bar). But the wine bar is still pretty busy during breakfast, we waited about 20 mins to be seated at breakfast and another 20ish mins for our food to come out.

Kakiage Tofu Poke

Really wonderful #latte flavored with #macadamia nut and #coconut. Delicious! The coconut really came through, especially in the froth, but it becomes more of a background note as you keep drinking. Lots of #plantmilk options and I chose #soymilk for a little bump of protein. 16 oz cup was just under $8 before tax (everything is expensive in Waikiki). Ended up asking for a to-go cup because there was no way I could finish it AND my giant breakfast sandwich in one sitting lol. Sweet and flavorful latte that I would definitely recommend to any #coffee fans that want something more than black coffee :)

Island Latte

So so delicious! Omg this was fantastic! Literally the only downside is the #sandwich is so tall that you can't fit the whole thing in your mouth. So many wonderful flavors working together. The #veganegg looked so real I was a little worried at first, but it's definitely a just egg or some similar substitute that was cooked with some green onions and seasoned nicely. Normally I don't like #tempeh but this #bacon tempeh was delicious and went so well with the #crispy potatoes and #aioli. The #avocado gave another layer of creaminess and there were plenty of crispy and tangy elements too! Comes with a little side salad that you can swap out for fruit or potatoes or something but I barely touched it bc the sandwich itself was so big and filling. Absolutely recommend this! This is a pretty busy spot so it can take 20 mins to get seated and another 20ish to get your food. But it's well worth the wait in my opinion. And their coffee is great as well, especially the lattes--will be making a separate post for that!

Wow, this was out of this world! It came with so much food: a tofu scramble with mushrooms, tempeh bacon, two slices of bread with nut butter and jam, a side salad, and a papaya! It was about $19, but considering how much food it came with, that's not bad. Island Vintage Coffee is very vegan-friendly, but keep in mind the long wait time. The food is amazing, but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're starving.

Vegan Breakfast Plate

This was AMAZING!! It came with French toast, butter, and maple syrup as well as a salad and papaya fruit salad. However, the wait was more than an hour long on a Monday morning. The food was great, the coffee was just okay, but be prepared for the whole experience to take 1 1/2 hours.

Vegan French Toast

Tempeh, French toast, salad, everything was spot on. I wish I lived closer to Waikiki so I could eat this more often, but my wallet is relieved. So. Good.
