Guieb Cafe

Guieb Cafe offers homestyle meals with reasonable prices. This is a great place for breakfast. My favorites are the prime rib loco moco, fried chicken and waffle, and the ube pancakes. The prime rib is tender and the fried chicken is well seasoned. The ube pancakes are moist and fluffy and with some syrup drizzled over it, it was delicious. Their portions are large so you can share a plate between 2 people. The staff are efficient. The food comes out fast and the temperate is hot. Your water cups will always get filled and they clear your plate once you're done.

They have 3 locations, Kalihi, Aiea, and Wahiawa. I've been to the Kalihi location a few times and the interior is small. If you go when they open, they're not busy. If you go later in the day, there is a wait for a table. They accept reservations by phone, just call a few days in advance to reserve it. The tables are set up to seat 2 – 4 people so if you have 5 or more, reservations are highly recommended.

This was my first time eating Spanish rolls and I must say, they are delicious. I'm in love! It's like sweet bread but better because it's buttery and savory at the same time. I've made so many trips back to the bakery that I've already lost count. Besides Spanish rolls, they also have other baked goods. One thing that caught my eyes were the ensaymada. They have the normal sized ones but then they also have a big one and it's really big. The one I have pictured below, I split it into 4 portions and ate it in 2 days. The baked goods here are very reasonably priced.

There are 3 parking spaces in front of their shop. I don't recommend driving a giant SUV here because their parking spaces are for compact cars. If the lot is full, circle around the block. This bakery is more of a grab and go place.

This was my first time eating authentic Filipino food. It's a combination of Chinese and Thai flavors. If you've never had Filipino food before, I'd recommend giving it a try. I thought the sinigang, inihaw na liempo (pork belly), and ube ice cream were very good. One small tip about the ube ice cream, it makes your mouth purple. So don't be surprised.
