Went back in time, exactly the kind of place the Ka’uhanes LOVE. Cousins – imagine Junies Kane’ohe. These men at the ‘counter’ talking story, reading the newspaper, howzits to everybody, & waitresses talking not worrying people will hear them. Unreal…$4 for 2 pancakes – ordered 5 to go for the Awais.
