When you think of food in Hawaii, a few iconic dishes come to mind — including saimin, loco moco, malasadas, spam musubi, and, of course, poke. What doesn’t come to mind? Pancakes. But believe it or not, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the world’s best pancakes. If you’re searching for the most unique pancakes in Hawaii, you’ll have to visit this two-story Asian bistro that’s known for its bright purple ube pancakes!
Welcome to Yogurstory! Specializing in breakfast foods with an Asian and local twist, this cafe and bistro got its start as a frozen yogurt shop in 2010 — hence the name — but has since expanded to serve a variety of local fusion dishes as well as dessert waffles and so much more.
Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, Yogurstory is sure to satisfy your taste buds. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can enjoy everything from pancakes, waffles and local plates to steak, seafood, and pasta.
Coconut milk, ube, condensed milk, butter, and sugar combine to make up the purple sauce that is poured over the pancakes, and if you can believe it, this meal isn’t as sweet as it looks.
Other customer favorites include the Hurricane Rice Bowl, Prime Rib Loco Moco, and the Oinker, which consists of fat pig fried rice with Portuguese sausage and two eggs.
Attracting a lunch crowd of workers from neighboring businesses, Yogurstory’s cute, modern interior has made it a hot spot for social gatherings like baby showers.
The restaurant seats approximately 100 and the upstairs section (which seats 50) can be reserved for business meetings and private functions on weekdays. Plenty of outside tables and free parking make this spot easy to visit.
Yogurstory is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit their Facebook page. Have you ever enjoyed ube pancakes before? If not, you should add this unique Hawaii breakfast food to your dining bucket list immediately.
