Paniolo Cafe - Fort Shafter

Ben the bartender is wonderful! He made me the best espresso martini with an option to add any flavors I would like. And the little hidden tiki area is perfect to get away.

I stayed at the Equus and the Paniolo Bar was right downstairs! It was the best comfy adorable place to get a good standard breakfast. My boyfriend and I went there every morning and the staff was always so sweet and welcoming. During the last four days of our stay, we had this adorable man serve us breakfast. HE WAS SO SWEET! I absolutely loved him! The latte’s were amazing and the dishware was so lovely. All the breakfast drinks were doppio’s so expect strong lattes and macchiatos! It turns into a cute local bar at night. The seats by the pool are also incredible. So comfy, please swing by here when you have the chance!Vegetarian options: Bagels and avocado toast, oatmeal and pastries!Dietary restrictions: Have dairy substitutes available!Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible as there are stairs needed to come up

Smallest bat I've found near the beach. View of the smallest pool too! Limited selection but cold beer and legit Whiskey cocktails with the ice blocks.Always friendly service!

Sweet little spot, and I hope I don’t ruin it by another good review… but I have visited each cafe within about 400 yards of this spot and found that none of them have the Aloha spirit at all, however, from the moment you meet the barista at Paniolo the staff exude a friendliness that is missing in Waikiki. Ben was manning the bar in the morning, and he was charming each day.The morning Cofee is brewed with a good robusta style bean and the food is tasty, even including a home made breakfast muffin. I won’t visit again the bigger cafes in the nearby hotels, which have few redeeming qualities.

Went here to have a few drinks with my friend, Yulia the bartender has amazing service. She was friendly and interactive with her guest and made amazing cocktails.
