Waioli Kitchen & Bake Shop

We invite you to be a part of this next chapter for Waioli as we restore this historic treasure to a destination that brings people together; a special place that uniquely belongs to Manoa, where neighbors can gather to share a great meal and conversation. Visitors drawn to the natural beauty of the Manoa Valley and this historic site can find a welcoming stop along their journey.

Opened in 1922, the Waioli Tea Room was conceived as a vocational training facility for the orphans housed at the Salvation Army Girls Home that was also located on the Manoa Campus. The Waioli Tea Room served breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea and at its height attracted hundreds of guests every day from around the world.

We add a 3% training surcharge to our checks. This small fee helps offset some of our costs associated with the vocational training investment we are making in our team as we provide them with work skills as part of their substance abuse disorder recovery. We appreciate your understanding and support of our staff.

We invite our guests to take part in this grand experiment as we write the next chapter in the story of Waioli. Share in our journey as we grow, cultivate and harvest fresh products on the property. Join us as we help transform lives by providing vocational training, life skills and hope to individuals in recovery.

Although we are just minutes away from Waikiki, our secluded valley is a world apart, Manoa means thick and vast in the Hawaiian language and this magical valley boasts a blend of ancient and modern, natural and manmade. Manoa is the site of the first sugarcane and coffee plantations in the Hawaiian Islands.
