Inside Kehaulani’s Cafe
Kehaulani’s Cafe in Vallejo offers a lively dive into Hawaiian and Filipino comfort food just off the I-80 freeway. This family-owned restaurant combines the casual spirit of aloha with hearty, approachable dishes that make it a solid choice for breakfast, lunch, or brunch—especially if you’re craving familiar island flavors without leaving the Bay Area.
Inside, the atmosphere feels warm and unpretentious, with friendly staff who take time to answer questions and make you feel at home. The space itself carries a relaxed vibe, complemented by background tunes that reflect the cultural mix the menu represents. It’s the kind of spot where local families stop by, visitors unwind after a road trip, and folks celebrate with friends over flavors that evoke Hawaiian comfort food traditions.
The menu mixes classics like the Fried Chicken with Ube Waffles—a rich and playful take on sweet and savory breakfast—and hearty options such as Portuguese Sausage Egg Scramble and Adobo Garlic Fried Rice with fried eggs. Sweet touches like Warm Mini Malasadas with Chocolate Sauce show attention to detail and a nod to island snacks. Portions tend to be generous, fitting for those who want a filling meal that doesn’t feel rushed, especially on slower weekday mornings or weekend brunches.
Kehaulani’s vibe suits those drawn to communal, family-style dining where dishes come with familiar sides like Lomi Lomi tomatoes and kimchee slaw, anchoring the experience firmly in local Hawaiian and Filipino culinary influences. It’s a comfortable stop whether you’re tackling a busy day or looking to settle in for a casual meal with some cultural flair.
If you’re passing through Vallejo and looking for an easygoing spot to experience island food beyond the usual tourist spots, Kehaulani’s delivers an honest, warm-hearted experience with a side of aloha spirit. Best visits happen mid-morning to early afternoon when the place buzzes quietly and you can appreciate the care that goes into each dish without feeling rushed.
