Spinners Cafe

Stood at counter for over 10 minutes after waiting 2^nd in line over 10 min. No greeting, no eye contact, no smile, no acknowledgement of our presence. Not feeling the aloha, we just left.

The food was solid but the extra star is given to them for their delicious macadamia nut sauce for their pancakes. AMAZEBALLS i will come back just for that. Super yummy and now back in California i DREAM of that sauce. You must give them a try. We were in Waianae to swim with the dolphins aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand man am i glad we ordered pancakes with their mac nut sauce. DO NOT MISS OUT!

I’ve been here on a few different occasions. Each visit was great. Food is good, customer service is on par, and I have to say their prices are really reasonable. The only thing that I’d like to see more of is their choices of menu items. Their menu is limited! Ever on the west side give this place a visit. It’s located in the Waianae boat harbor!

$ 5 breakfast burrito was a pleasant surprise. Delicious sausage, mushrooms, onions, spinach and cheese. It was so good!

Was brought here by a local friend. Very friendly, simple good grinds. Big portions, ridiculously good prices. Breakfast all day. Delicious items for $ 1 and up! Had da special chicken adobo, authentic. Delicious. Three lunches $ 20. Yeah… ;-)

(The current temperature and local altitude, I mean, local attitude for today at the Spinners Café is…) WHATEVERS!
This review is based on the fact that I had to deal with Spinners Café as its in cahoots with the Dolphin Excursions tour. You have to pay for your pictures here after your trip and some of the workers in the Café are part of the tour.
I didn’t know it at the time, but one of the kitchen gals came out of the bathroom early in the morning and I said «Hello» to her as she came out of the stall but she ignored me. She had a Dolphin Excursions shirt on. Maybe she didn’t hear me, whatevers.
I walk over to get a coffee for my hubby at 0630 before the tour and the café was empty. There were only two workers behind the counter, a man drinking coffee at a table and myself standing at the counter. The girl had her back turned to me the whole time and I stood there a few minutes. Don’t tell me her peripheral vision didn’t work because a man (I’m guessing an old timer) was proclaiming he couldn’t function without his coffee as he walked into the Café and promptly got his (free) coffee. I got coffee (paid for) after him (which was good) and headed to the Dolphin Excursions store where we had to be fitted for gear. It was the same girl who came out of the bathroom fitting us for our gear.
My husband was in a great mood as this was his Father’s Day surprise and was laughing and joking but the sullen girl who came out of the bathroom was just there to do her job to fit us for snorkels and fins. I could see thought bubbles in her head saying «whatevs shut up already»
After the Dolphin Excursion tour, I was told to head over there to pay for photos and pick up lunch, which was the wrong information. You only pay for the optional dolphin tours package there; your lunch is already at the staging area. So I wait at the counter for ten minutes looking at the six workers in various stages of busy-​ness rolling burgers, flipping stuff at a grill and talking story. Miss Whatevs comes up, sees me at counter but avoids eye contact at all cost, picks up the ringing phone to take an order. What the hell. I didn’t have my credit card but it didn’t matter, I don’t want to deal with a distracted worker who can’t even look at me much less take an order for a photo package.
She did apologize though, saying «we’re really busy today» and went right back to being stressed. Whatevers. We are all human but we like to be treated like people too, you know, cuz? It wasn’t only Miss Whatevs, but the others in the café too.
The food was only so-​so.
Take your own coffee in a thermos and maybe pack your own lunch to avoid the Whatevs’

So, we use to LOVE this place… had great food… but the TERRIBLE customer service has just out weighed the good food! We went for breakfast today, twenty minutes after we ordered we were told they were out of hamburger patties… they were grilling some, I could see them… We opted for meatless LOCO MOCO… 45 minutes AFTER we had ordered we were asking for our money back because our food WAS still NOT ready… Sadly they are more focused on getting the «tour» meals prepped and out the door than the local customers.
To make the bad service, and not getting breakfast even worse… they were receiving a food delivery when we pulled into parking lot… We did some stuff at the dive shop, walked our dogs, and then went in to order… the 45 minutes went by that we waited and the food that had been delivered sat in a pile on the floor… no one put anything in the cooler… it just sat in the hot kitchen… YUCKY!
They were busy… but I am a firm believer that if your business is making money, put some of it back into your business and HIRE MORE PEOPLE!

First timers here at Spinners Café.
It’s located at the Waianae boat harbor, which is probably why we never stopped here.
We ordered a loco moco and a standard breakfast plate. The loco moco was delish! Nice serving. Nice price. (Why do we eat at Hannaras?) the breakfast plate was good. Nice serving of bacon and the fried rice was also delish.
The place was nice and clean. The customer service was great. Will definitely make this our new breakfast spot.
Try this place out!

Yesterday was my very FIRST And LAST time I will ever go to Spinners Café. I have never felt more discriminated against in my own home town for being a «local».
Yesterday my family and I went there and ordered our food. As were were ordering about 15 – 20 other people (tourist) came in after us. We sat and waited patiently for our food. After about almost 30−45mins we notice we didn’t get our food let alone our drinks. My mom asked the cashier why everyone around us got their food before us and the cashiers response blew me away. She said «OH BECAUSE THEY TOURIST!» So my mom asked if they cater to their tourist before the locals? She had no answer. That was enough confirmation we needed. I asked for all my money back which she agreed but also told the cook «DONT START ON THE BIG ORDER!» Basically they didn’t even start cooking our food. Needless to say, we left with STARVING KIDS and PISSED OFF!!! So if you’re a local, beware of who’s working. You might be pushed behind till they serve the tourist first.
