Kailua is known for great breakfast spots like Cinnamons and Boots and Kimo's. We know most people don't want to wait 30 minutes for a seat so we found the perfect alternative. Moke's Bread and Breakfast lies in the heart of Kailua. Serving breakfast/brunch, and lunch, this hole in the wall restaurant has its own Kailua kick with dishes named after landmarks. This quaint restaurant is known for their homemade bread. We ended up waiting for around 15 minutes for our seat. I don't know if was just us, but the first thing we noticed was how blue it was in there. Blue is supposedly an unappetizing color and it was just overwhelming.
Decor aside, we ordered the rib eye loco "moke," which is a regular loco moco but instead of a burger patty, you get a whole rib eye steak drizzled with brown gravy. The steak definitely punch up the loco moco and made it a whole different dish. For $11.25, its a great price for some savvy steak.
It came with a side of dark rye bread and it was warm and crunchy on the outside, chewy and moist on the inside. It paired perfectly with the lilikoi butter.
We also ordered a Moke's Sunrise Special which was $8.50. The homemade honey butter biscuit was the best part, and everything else was old fashion breakfast chum.
The portion sizes were smaller than expected, but at least we weren't stuffed when we walked out. Moke's definitely stands out with their freshly baked bread. I'd try one of the omelets next time and their famous muffin of the days. A helpful hint is that from 12-1 pm, the serve both breakfast and lunch but from 1-3pm they strictly serve lunch only.
