Domo Cafe

Domo Cafe offers sushi rolls, bentos, and poke bowls at a reasonable price. My favorites are the California roll and the garlic sushi set which comes with 4 types of protein: ebi, hamachi, ahi, and salmon. Their items are made after you order so it does not sit in a fridge and the rice does not get hard. I enjoy ordering take out from here because they're quick. I usually do a phone order 30 minutes in advance so my food will be ready when I arrive. I avoid ordering during the peak hours for lunch and dinner because the wait can be much longer.

They have 1 location in Kahala and another location in Chinatown. The Kahala location is near the UPS store under the freeway and they have parking. The Chinatown location doesn't have free parking but it's great if you work in the downtown area, it's a short walk.

Beyond Pastry Studio

Beyond Pastry Studio is known for their epicurean cheesecakes and creative pastries. The pastries menu continues to evolve and there is always something new to try. The display case is small, but it is filled with so many items. You will be tempted to get one of each and bring a box back to the office or home to share. The epicurean cheesecakes and chizutani are a must try. The epicurean cheesecakes are light and creamy. They come in 2 flavors, regular and chocolate. The chizutani is a hybrid of cheesecake and cheese tart. It leans more towards a cheesecake but it's not as dense. My favorite items are the snickerdoodle (cookie), chocolate epicurean cheesecake, and chizutani. 

They are in downtown Honolulu between Alii Place and Bourbon Street restaurant. You can park inside Alii Place for a reasonable rate or find metered street parking on Richards Street and walk over to the next block.
