To save the scroll: good food, reasonable prices, but more veggie options would be great.
It's been a while since I've been to Cinnamon's, but stopped by for an early Mother's Day breakfast with the family. For 8 AM on the Saturday before, the wait wasn't bad at all at around twenty minutes. If you don't want to wait, Kailua at this hour probably isn't for you. Be patient, kind, and humble. Good food takes time.
Service was friendly. Ordered a Decisions Omelette with home fries. The rest of the family got a number of other items including crab cakes, lilikoi pancakes, and guava pancakes.
The omelette was a good size. Honestly, it's the first time in a while where I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish it. Good amount of fillings. Home fries were crisp and well seasoned. I also sampled the both flavors of pancakes. Personally, fluffy but too sweet for me. The creaminess is also just not something I want in the morning, but everyone else gobbled them up. Good reviews for the crab cakes and other items as well.
For a spot like this and the quality of the food, the prices were very reasonable at around $18 for most dishes.
My one complaint is I wish there were more veggie options or a veggie meat. However, there is probably at least one veggie option per major area of the menu, but I'll never understand how places can serve seven different types of meat and not include a veggie alternative.
The verdict: why didn't I return sooner?
