This is what I posted in July about what has become one of my favorite places to dine at:
Mix Café has opened up at 35 S. Beretania Street. The eatery has about ten tables, including a large one at which several people may sit, and free wi-fi access. On the menu is a range of delicious dishes, including spinach-and-cheese omelettes, banana pancakes, waffles with whipped cream and fruit, pasta salads, and sub sandwiches. Things to drink include homemade lemonade and berry juice, coffee, and Perrier. Painted apple green and kept spare and clean, the eatery is a great place to start the day. However, customers in a hurry should be aware that the staff is still organizing itself; I ordered a cup of cappuccino and had to wait more than fifteen minutes even though the café was not busy. Call 537-1191 or e-mail mixcafehonolulu@gmail.com for more information.
Here’s an update.
Street construction around mid-September resulted in part of the sidewalk in front of Mix being torn apart and barriers constructed to reroute cars and pedestrians. What was supposed to take a few days ended up taking much longer, and owners Kim and Bruno felt that the construction, which made it difficult to get in the door of Mix, affected their business. The last time I was in there—on Thursday, the 27th—customer flow seemed to be back to normal.
The homemade apple cake is dense, not too sweet, and filled with good-sized bits of apple, and it used to come with whipped cream and berries. Gone are the cream and berries, I’m afraid, and by itself, the apple cake is a bit dry. I order it with iced cappuccino.
Bruno is from Italy and is the chef as well as co-owner. His dishes are made the old-fashioned way—from scratch—and have a richness of flavor that you can’t get in most places. Recently, I ordered for lunch a green salad with roasted vegetables, a mushroom omelet, and wheat toast; basalmic vinegar came in a little container, which I emptied over the salad when I was ready to eat. The whole thing was delicious, and I savored the individual and blended flavors.
There are yet many things on Mix’s menu that I have to try. When I go in next, I’ll take a picture of the menu, and you can decide for yourself what looks appetizing
