About the Waioli Tea Room:
The Waioli Tea Room was built in 1922 and it was originally
a school for a children's home. The building is listed on the United States
National Register of Historic Places.
Today the tea room sits on property owned by the Salvation Army of Hawaii
and it is a popular spot for breakfast and luncheon.
The menu includes items such as salads, egg dishes, sandwiches, desserts,
fancy coffees, non-alcoholic fruit drinks, and a
variety of teas. Traditional afternoon tea is also available, if reservations
are made 24 hours in advance.
