Cocktail Hawaii

Tasty selections of sweet and sour pancakes served with fresh fruits that are sure to fill you up! The portions are huge. The interior is very cozy and calm. Conveniently located next to a metro station, it’s a great place if you’re craving a late night treat or just a midday snack. Only downside is that it could be on the pricier side but if you’re willing to pay you’re in for a beautiful time.

This place had some great pictures of their food so I wanted to check it out. I went one morning during my trip and the store was empty, which surprised me. Maybe everyone was late to work that morning. I ordered the Alma some pancakes, which had kiwi, pineapple, strawberry and banana. The pancakes were tasty and very filling!! I’d recommend two people for a single order. The prices were a little high considering the food. It’s a cool place to check out.

Crepes you say? Why yes! Went in with no expectations, and was very surprised with the service, that was great, and the food, which was exceptional! If crepes are your game, I can't think of any other spot to try. I had the Rosa crepes, with whip cream and strawberries. Mom used to make crepes like no other, and these were comparable. That is a high bar that Cocktail Hawaiian meets. I was very happy and satisfied with the food and atmosphere. Eat here, you will not be disappointed!

Updated review after visiting the place for the first time, the other review was about my delivery experience. The food was really tasty, the juice was really good. The size is actually big and worth the price more than when it’s delivery. The thing I didn’t really like and understood is the tipping. I don’t know why I paid 15% while everything was self service. I ordered than went to the table than went to get the food than returned the tray after finish and left. I’ll definitely come back again the food was delicious but I won’t be tipping just because they did their job by preparing the meal. 😀❤️ — Really tasty fresh juice 😋😋 it’s a bit expensive but really good 👍🏻

Late night snack adventure and it was totally worth it. This place is amazing and I wish there was one of these in NYC. The waffles and crapes are delicious. The juices are fresh and yummy. 100% recommend this place to everyone to give it a try at least once. The staff is very nice and prices are affordable for how much they give. Mountain of fresh fruit and so much Nutella your mouth will stick together. Give it a try!

On a whim we visited this crepe waffle place one evening. I was surprised by the quality of the waffles! They were spongy on the outside and soft on the inside - the perfect texture. Most places I have tried rarely get the texture right and I was pleasantly surprised. So far it is the best dessert waffle I have experienced in Montreal so far. We also ordered ice cream on the side. The portions are generous. Altogether, the Sacramento waffle with ice cream was sufficient for the two of us. The presentation was beautiful. The interior has a very rustic summer vibe. The staff were a little disorganized yet super happy and friendly, which more than made up for it. The menu is appropriate for both dessert or brunch. Entire dessert menu is vegetarian. We would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

A piece of Hawaii right in downtown Montreal! Had breakfast here and the proportions were perfect. Pleasant staff, and accommodated my broken French 😂(Ottawa Valley Twang hiding it). Super kind to all customers, and a relaxing environment earlier in the day.

Great spot for a tropical vibe in Montreal! Cocktail Hawaii offers delicious, fresh juices, smoothies, and fruit cocktails that are as refreshing as they are visually stunning. Perfect for a quick escape to paradise with friendly service by TAREK & MOUBARAK there were excellent

Highly recommend this place to anyone.Service is excellent. I love how fresh the fruits are.. It's a great place for dessert, Wish there was one like this in Miami!

Not a bad place to get breakfast. My friend and I decided to try it out because Allo mon coco was closed. It's quite a strange place and the menu is just pictures but they serve crepes, waffles, smoothies, and breakfast plates (eggs, ham, sausages, toast, etc). Service is quite fast and the food is decent. It's nothing to rave about but it's not awful. I got the costa rica breakfast which is eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and a crepe with fruits. The eggs were really bland, the meat and toast were fine, I found the crepe ok but the fruit on top was not fresh at all so bleh. Service is fine, the staff is friendly. You pay at the counter and then sit down, get up when your number is called to get your food. I don't really see why I'd come back unless the same situation were to happen again.

I cannot recommend this place high enough! Wonderful crepes with shrimp and avocado, belgian waffles topped with fruits of all sorts! Yammy!!! My go-to place for substantial breakfast in Montreal

Convenient location near the John Molson School. I was craving crepes so I decided to stop in here. It was crowded and the food took some time to get, but it was worth it. I ordered the Cocorico and it definitely satisfied my craving! As a first timer, it was a little tough to decide what to order - the menu is the name of the dish and a photo. It doesn't tell you exactly what's in it.

I feel like this is a very cool drunk food spot for crepes. Offering savory and sweet options, and open until the wee hours of the morning, this place satisfied a sweet tooth at midnight. No, I wasn't drunk, but I wanted a low key yummy nosh. A crepe with Nutella and a cup of tea later, I was one happy customer!

Humongous and delicious crepes with dozens of unique options for filling. The only place I can think of that serves ashta in the west. (A homemade Arabic neutral cheese) It comes atop a mix of fresh fruit juice and chunks of fruit and then is smothered in raw honey, crushed pistachio, and Marcona almonds. Divine!

Delicious Turbo. Has a great variety of fancy drinks or simply juices. Crepes and waffles look delicious. Drop by every time we are in Montreal.

Cocktail Hawaii is a colourful non-pretentious juice bar filled with faux palm trees. Although this will not be a life changing experience, the ginormous mugs of fruit cocktails are delicious! My favourite is Laguna, half of the Hawaiian (strawberry, banana, milk and honey) and half of the Kamikaz (avocado, honey and milk). It is slightly on the almost cloyingly sweet side but still within tolerance. I would recommend Nuit de Liban, a plate of achta and honey with banana, mango, strawberry, papaya and kiwi sprinkled with pistachios, almonds and raisins. To be honest, I am not sure why a place that serves Lebanese cream is offering a Hawaiian experience, but the refreshing fruit platter did make my belly rejoice. P.S. Avoid the crepes. I had the Tropicana (strawberries, banana, mango topped with ice cream). The crepe had an off-putting texture.

Originally we were walking to another known restaurant, when we passed across Cocktail Hawaii. We decided to be spontaneous and try something new to us as we never heard about this place before today. We ended up having a comfy, peaceful time eating tasty food. It was around breakfast time and I was craving banana crepes with chocolate. I wasn't disappointed at all. I strongly recommend. The reason I'm giving a 4 star, it's because they don't have great customer service. It isn't a friendly staff. They more into " what's your order, thank you, bye ". Other than that, cozy environment with nice decor.

Great waffle, not the best for pancake. Their coffee is expensive. I would advise you to try their crep and mixed fruif cocktails. The cocktail's portion is big so you may want to arrive with an empty stomach

Of course a place that gets this much snow will have a tropical themed spot. I got the Costa Rican special the sausage was a bit weird but great selection. The smoothies looked like a meal of their own. Montreal #Foodie

My hubby & I went to try the new Allo! Mon Coco restaurant on De Maisonneuve. We left the establishment without eating (I'll have a review of that place shortly) and came upon Hawaii Cocktail, which is just down the street. I've seen this place numerous times while I've been downtown and never did I realize they offered breakfast! Thank goodness because we were pissed off and HUNGRY. My husband ordered a breakfast-crepe wrap and I ordered a typical breakfast meal. The variety of fruits they give is wonderful... There's even mango, I never see any other place include mango as a side fruit. They don't do poached eggs so I got sunny side up. The bacon was well cooked, potatoes are super tasty, and overall we enjoyed our meals. I agree that the decor could be updated, it wouldn't take much to freshen it up. The service was good, it's not a table service restaurant, you take a tray and order at the cash, then you go get your meal when it's ready. Saves yourself giving a tip, but you could tip if you want, I don't think they'll object!

Perfect plate for breakfast or brunch. The staff was so nice and very helpful. They said i could switch things that i dont like for other things. I customized my plate and also my juice. The fruits are fresh and everything was very good. I'll go back for sure!

Great breakfast here! Had veggie omelette and the Mambo (fruit, eggs etc) Fresh, tasty eats and fast, pleasant service! Great price and the fresh OJ was so good. Recommend this breakfast place in Montreal!

Perfect for a weekend brunch! I ordered the Mamba and its so good, the fruits are fresh, toast and coffee is included. If you're looking for an affordable brunch on a quiet place, this is the perfect spot. Especially it ain't far from the metro.

Great all around cocktails and desserts , Staff is great and service is on point. We had the crepes , and some kashta with fruits , all was great

I only tried the smoothies. They are good and fresh, the price is reasonable! They have a lot of work to do with the decoration and the menu

Very nice place. Polite and friendly customer service. The crapes were amazing. Very delicious. Warm. Pistachio ice cream was delicious. The whole presentation was beautiful. Fruit smoothie was delicious.

A great little breakfast spot...and you eat before paying. Novel? Friendly and good portions. Lots of healthy options to add fruit to your breakfast

Kitch decoration .. open since 14 years already.. need renovation but they have many choices of juices and fruits cocktail with vegetables etc ... in a narrow glaces .. its too pricey .. but still good mmmmm

This cute Hawaiian themed restaurant has great breakfast options for reasonable prices. I got the Playa Fiesta, which included a vegetarian omelette, breakfast potatoes, toast, a small salad, and coffee. The food was delicious, the price was right (under $10), and the service was great as well!

Wheeeee!!! Okay, okay, I know. It's tacky, yes. It's ridiculous, yes. But it's such a wonderful kitsch place, it makes all giddy. And seriously, the crêpes are waaay better - and cheaper - than any Cora, Eggsfruits, any day of the week. It's a fun, non-pretentious place. I simply adore it. No culinary experience that will chance your life, but quite a place to make you smile with the painted murals and fake palm trees. Aww.

In the neighbourhood? Here's the essentials on what you'll see - broken down into 3 :) Atmosphere: Ah - Welcome to Agraba ... errr, Little Arabia (?) - whatever it's called, this little part of the Shaughnessy Village is the where many folks for the Middle East have set up shop (& homes) - and that's a good thing :) Having traveled for well over 90% of my life to may parts of the world - I appreciate the hospitality of people from the ME. Cocktail Hawaii is one such place and seeks to re-create the desert houses found in many parts of the Levants (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine etc.) - Arabs love their sweets and are great at making them! All this to say - the people behind the counter are quite welcoming and happy to be of service. Food: Creps, Waffales, Ice-cream, smoothies you name it - they have it galore. I've been to the place at least 2 or more dozen times in the 15 years (pre-Yelp) I've been in Montreal and never have I had a bad meal. Spoiled for choice and it's made to order so nothing is ever pulled out of the freezer except the ice cream :D - top top marks for this. Service: Friendly, but minimal - there's really no need to more - they leave you be and that's the way it should be :) If you've got a hankering for good waffles (as i sometimes do) go here if in the area - honestly, it a better meal than the other places around like Cacao 70, and Juliet et Chocolate which opened near this place recently doesn't have their choice of smoothies and ice creams Go now - work off the calories later!!!

I went to Hawaii about 5 months ago and there is nothing in this store that resembles the beloved American Pacific island state. You might turn your nose at it from the outside; not only that, but the interior is kitschy and the lighting is absolutely gawdawful. As a vegetarian, the clerk recommended a 'Mexican' crepe with rice. The vegetables were microwaved in hot water and then served with a salsa over it. Not impressive at all. But what won me over about this place was the ginormous mug of fruit cocktail, topped with white Lebanese cheese, crushed pistachios and drizzled with honey. Great for a quick snack or a healthy dose of fruit. The portions are also way too large for an individual, so it would be perfect to share. CONS: Zombies for clerks. PROS: Huge portions and close to the Guy subway station.

I am extremely surprised that this place gets good reviews. Did people lose their taste buds? Does no one care about hygiene? Service is not friendly. The people seem angry at you for some reason. I miss being smiled at when I pay someone my hard earned money. The people serving the food replaced hair nets with hair gel! They do not wear gloves and handle the food with their bare hands and the price for a cocktail is over $10. Come on! The décor hasn't been changed since early 2000 and anything you touch is extremely dusty. I hope they go back to what they once were when the dad was running the place. They always say the next generation ruins the founders business and unfortunately this is the case here.

Wow! My friends and I just looked for the closest crepe place, but boy, were we in for a treat! The servers were so kind and put so much care into our crepes. And the crepes were delicious! Definitely worth the price because the crepes were huge!

This ain't Hawaii...its like the DR or Puerto Rico. You can't pull that shit on me....I lived in Hawaii. Stop it There's a palm tree in my giant meal, loaded with fruits.

This place is a "healthy" and unique place to try. The décor isn't great, but it's kind of fun and reminds me of Latin American juice bars. You order and pay and the counter first. The food is fresh and you can watch everything prepared to order. The fruit cocktails are outstanding, the atayef are sublime, and the dessert crepes are tasty. Check it out!

Excellent fresh fruit and breakfast quality. Somewhat pricy but large portions could easily be split by two.

Amazing breakfast spot got the Sacramento which was a waffle with strawberry, banana and Nutella on top. If your in the area definitely try it out.

Best place in Montreal for breakfast! I would come here for lunch too but only managed to enjoy breakfast on 2 occasions. The service is courteous, friendly and easily accepts substitutions to the menu. The food is AMAZING with fresh fruit, eggs made to perfection, good hot chocolate, NUTELLA, a unique cream cheese and lots of fresh juice. The juices alone can be made into a satisfying meal or desert. They also have gelato which I didn't get a chance to try. Love this place!!!!

Got a late night nutella crepe here. Made fresh. I'll say that the crepes were a bit bigger, but does that satisfy the taste requirement? Not particularly. I wasn't impressed with the crepe flavor. Not to mention, they didn't make the crepes any differently for those of us that want to walk home and eat a nutella crepe. I had to improvise on my own.

This place is absolutely awesome! It's colorful and lively and when you walk in you feel like you're in Hawaii! The crepes are delicious and the smoothies are just as good! They even have all kinds of interesting flavored coffee!

I used to visit here frequently, back when I lived in montreal. Back for a visit, and enjoying a fruit packed plate "nuit de liban". I am a big fan of their fruit & achta dishes. I would not recommend eggs/bacon/etc here.

A really good place for breakfast and general brunch foods. My boyfriend and I love it there--he always gets the "tequila" crepe with egg and cheese, which is absolutely delicious. Their smoothies are fresh and personalized to your own individual tastes. Compared to other places, it's pretty cheap for quality breakfast food. We're definitely going back there again!

Very friendly staff at Cocktail Hawaii...explains the dishes to you in detail. Needs to revamp the decor as it makes the place look silly and a bit dirty. Food was very good and the fruit was super fresh. Would go back.

Amazing. The staff was very nice and the food looked pretty fresh. I really liked the music that they played and the crepes were really big.

This place is very bright, clean and the food is fresh and excellent. I had the Rosa and I fell in love. It was so good it made my toes curl. Everyone must go there!

Excellent breakfast restaurant in the middle of downtown. Not only are the pancake dishes delicious, but they have traditional breakfast options available. The cocktail shakes are also healthy and savory - highly recommended.

Ugh, the food was terrible - soggy crepes, the filling a strange mixture of processed turkey, cheese, mushrooms and other unidentifable ingredients, all smothered in a creamy orange-coloured sauce -- these other reviewers must have been starving for days to give such good reviews. On the plus side, the coffee was good and the service friendly and accommodating.

Maybe it's the American in me, this is the freshest, healthiest breakfast I've ever had. It's simple and quick, but I'm in such awe of real fruit and eggs. The coffee is brilliant. It's a place where you get your own food from the counter but they offer full breakfast plates, crepes, smoothies, fresh juices. I will be back my next trip to MTL.

we were advised to check this place for the best deals on breakfast by our local friend and we just fell in love with this cafe! the food is yummy! the portions are huge! the prices are great! the satff is very friendly! and it's open starting 7am! the ambiance is hawaii-cozy with pink umbrellas at the outdoor patio and the food is with a hint of tropical in it. try crepes with nutella and bananas with strawberries or crepes with cheese and mashrooms! all under $8! would definitely go there again and bring a friend along!

Very good French crepes. I had the chocolate covered strawberries and banana. Sweet deliciousness!

Tasty crepes and big portions. Not what I was expecting, got a laugh out of the cheesy "Hawaiian" decor. Not bad for a quick breakfast.

This place is too expensive for what you get. It's good but it's not worth the price. I payed 18 dollars for a waffle and a smoothie (taxes and tip included). A Waffle!!! just flour. not even bacon or eggs included.

Super quality and original fruit drinks. They take care to give you everything you need when you order takeout- management is obviously very focused on quality and service! Rare for Montreal.

Despite its name, not much Hawaiian about the place aside from the decor. The background music alternated between Greek and South American, and the menu has a more of a Lebanese selection than South Pacific. Kind of a missed opportunity to have a real unique experience. Went for breakfast. Food was so-so, but the fruit was fresh and the smoothly was good.

The music is cool and the food is sooo great. I had a nutella & strawberry crepe. Love the smoothies too. A lowkey place that isn't always busy.

The cool storefront and kitschy atmosphere really hooked me and got me to come in and try it, but once inside I was less impressed. The food was so-so, a little more expensive than what you'd expect for a breakfast place, and the portion was minuscule. I really wasn't too satisfied after my meal. Might be good for a late-night snack on the way home from the bar, but if you're looking for a solid breakfast you might want to pass this place up.
