Times Coffee Shop

If you’re looking for good, local kine food at an old-​fashioned themed restaurant, then you got to head to Times Coffee Shop in Temple Valley.
After a long day at school, me and my parents wanted some great food at affordable prices. My mom said, let go to Times Coffee Shop. When we got their, right off the bat you can tell its a small restaurant. At most, it probably has about 15 tables for you. Anyway, our hostess said pick a seat and we immediately chose the big booth in the back. After gazing through the menu for a few minutes, our server came with an excellent tone and service. I immediately ordered, one of my favorite breakfast meals, a loco moco with over easy eggs. Our server said shoots, and immediately after we ordered, got our drinks for us. While we were waiting, I noticed the atmosphere of the restaurant was peaceful and relaxing. The music in the restaurant was on Hawaiian 105 KINE, which seemed appropriate for a local themed restaurant. Any how, our food came and I swear, my loco moco was one of the best Ive eaten in awhile. Ive eaten loco mocos at places like Ruby Tuesday and Loco Moco in Miliani but Times Coffee Shop was hands down, the best Ive had. The flavor was so great and superb, the food feels like my tastebuds our having a party in my mouth. My mom ended up getting fried rice with her meal and the fried rice was great too. Certainly not the best Ive had, but certainly still tasty and feels great to eat. Our service was also still checking back regularly to see if we needed anything like refills our towards the end, boxes for our leftovers. The server we had was great and he certainly deserved the tip we gave him.
Overall, the experience I had at Times Coffee Shop was great. The atmosphere was excellent, the service was great and the food, with out of doubt was amazingly superb. I definitely would recommend getting their loco moco (if I haven’t made that so obvious yet) and perhaps sub out the regular rice for their fried rice. The only reason they don’t get a perfect five stars from me is that, they’re slow with bussing table. I guess it made sense since it wasn’t so busy but as a busser myself, I hate leaving tables dirty for long periods of time. But if you can get passed that, then Times Coffee Shop should definitely be your next stop, especially if you live in Kaneohe, Temple Valley or Kahaluu.

My husband and I randomly stopped here on the way to the north shore for breakfast. I got the spam eggs and fried rice and he got the corned beef hash patty and fried rice. Spend the extra $ 1.50 and get the fried rice. It was delicious and the waitress was very nice and attentive. We never wanted for drinks. Recommend it highly!

I love this place & have been coming for years. The service is great and the food is consistently dependable. Love the home-​town feel of this place; not a fancy spot but good old home cooking. And the friendliest waitresses.

Sunday Funday with the fam brought us here to Times Coffee Shop for brunch located at the Koolau center strip mall across the street from Valley of the Temple Memorial Park. It’s a good sized restaurant with about 15 or so booths and one big table that seats 8. This is where we sat since there were exactly 8 of us. The place was decorated in beautiful Hawaiiana art and photos and Christmas. We decided on ordering Eggs Benedict, corned beef hash with eggs, luncheon meat with eggs, hamburger steak, roast pork, banana pancakes and blueberry pancakes. Our waitress was fast and very upbeat and friendly. She kept our glasses and mugs full and made sure we were well taken care of. The only down part was that they forgot an order of eggs benedict that I was having with a piece of blueberry pancakes. I had to go up to the kitchen and ask for it. By the time it finally came out, I had gotten a little full on my pancake. Oh well. The benedict was still delicious. It was cooked to perfection with a juicy thick slice of canadian bacon and delicious hollandaise sauce. The pancakes were amazingly good with LOTS of fruit in it. They used fresh (not previously frozen) bananas and blueberries. Very tasty. My BF had the luncheon meat and was pleasantly surprised when he saw how thick the slices were. These were nice and thick unlike the thin slices that are usually used in sandwiches. Everyone was very happy with their food. Great food and good service. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area.

I love this place. Man… I used to eat at this place when they were across Windward Mall. And then they closed down and I never knew what happened to them. All these years… maybe like 10 years or something, I never know they were in Temple Valley until my dad wanted to meet there for breakfast.
I ordered their fried rice and a side of potato salad, both my favorites from before. The fried rice was delicious. The potato salad wasn’t as great as I remembered it. Think I needed to just add a little more salt and it would have been perfect, but my son and husband liked it so it’s still a winner in my book.
Would definitely come back here if I was in the area for breakfast!

The prices are good and the breakfast matches the price. If you’re looking for a convenient location then this is a good place for you. But if you’re looking to enjoy a flavorful breakfast it isn’t the place for you.

I love times! Best fried rice ever! This is my favourite breakfast place! Great coffee! The service is always fast and friendly! I always get the fried rice, eggs over medium with Portuguese sausage! So yummy! If you’re looking for a great local breakfast, this is the place!

I always go to the kailua location and get the fried rice. I was in the area and decided to get some fried rice. Bad idea. I paid 10 bucks for a plate of overly sweet rice. Hardly any meat at all, except for soggy bacon fat, that i couldnt eat. It was like they put bacon in the rice before frying the bacon first. Worst fried rice id ever had. My bf got the teri chicken, and it tasted not so fresh. We threw all of our food away. I put two stars because my daughters blueberry pancakes were ok. Lots of blueberries. And the service was ok. Never going back. Waste money.

Came here on a rainy humid afternoon for some coffee. The name of this shop is a little misleading. We were expecting a cute little coffee shop, similar to those you would find in tourist areas, but found an old school diner. I am eager to go back on a lazy morning to check out and try the food, but do not go here expecting homemade, hand blended, local coffee.

This is an odd place and I can only speak about the ambience, service, and coffee.
The coffee is ok, the service was very friendly, and the place was a sort of old school diner. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the place, it is just not the sort of place I would frequent when the comfortable ambience of Starbucks is available to me. And a tall coffee at Starbucks is actually cheaper than an 8 oz. cup of coffee here ($ 2.75). Granted, at Times Coffee Shop they will give you free refills, but do I care? Not really. The ambience is a bit dank and dark and I want to have my coffee and go.

Horrible horrible horrible. Our server, Debbie, was grumpy and unprofessional. Either she’s an amateur at waiting tables or is too burnt out and should retire already. (The hostess was very nice though. She should teach Aunty some manners)
My food came out cold, and tasted so gross. Local-​style places need to get with the times, already. We are sick of cheap ingredients. Margarine? Who even eats that anymore? (Beware, Times plops a rice scoop sized blob of it on your «from scratch» pancakes.) It’s sad when you can get a better breakfast at Koa or Zippys.
Never again

Basic breakfast items. I had the eggs benedict which was good. The hash browns could use a little more seasoning. Partner hot the hamburger patty while didn’t look that appetizing however heard no complaints. Good service. Clean.

Love this place! Great service, clean environment, and in a great location with easy access. I would go to this place every week for breakfast. It is really good! I would recommend this place to my family and friends!

We woke up late and were wanting breakfast, yet lacked ingredients at home. When he suggested Times Coffee Shop for omelets, I happily agreed. Parking was a breeze (as usual) at Temple Valley. I had the corned beef hash patty with two easy eggs, sub fried rice. The beef hash patty was NOT beloved canned Libby’s, but something different– and definitely canned. not BAD, but not Libby’s. Only one of the two fried eggs were runny/​easy, the other was over hard (but HEY! It was cheap!. And it’s a diner!) The fried rice was aight. He had the mahi with two eggs ($ 8.95) with potatoes. He ate everything. E V E R Y T H I N G. We each had coffee. I think our grand total was around $ 26– bank was not broke. Overall, I enjoyed having breakfast and doing the morning crossword at Times Coffee Shop. Cheehoo!

Waitress never gave my son a fork, even after asking for one. Walks past our table multiple times, giving utensils to other customers. This was last week. Called this morning to see if they were busy and asked about how long is the wait, the female who answers gave me an attitude the whole time. and these werent my first bad experiences here. I live a 2 minute walk from here, but I’m Never going back. I’ll take the drive to kaneohe for better service.

Great for breakfast and lunch. Personally I really enjoy the teri cheese burger with extra crispy home fried potatoes. The burger is home made not frozen like teddys bigger burger. The breakfast is also really good, we always opt for the sweet fried rice instead of regular rice. The corned beef hash patty, homemade ceasar salad dressing, and chopped chicken are also worth trying.

Very roomy and pretty clean. The space is comfortable and it feels like I stepped in a family hometown diner.
The food was good and fresh. I had the teri-​chicken and their famous fried rice. Portions were generous, the chicken was moist and flavorful, and the fried rice was unusually tasty… little hint of teriyaki sauce. The meal came with a side of toast which was buttery and slightly sweet (I think they used a Japanese white bread) and I added another side order of a single buttermilk pancake. The pancake was lighter, slightly thinner than most other places who make buttermilk pc. There was a slight crust to it that made me want to eat more of it… almost like the McD’s french fries where you look for the over cooked, extra crispy ones at the bottom of the pile.
Overall my dining experience was enjoyable and pleasant. I came out very satisfied and the cost was reasonable. I would go back again.

I was very happy to find out that my favorite breakfast place in Kailua has another location in Kaneohe. Service at this location is prompt and friendly, and the food portions are generous. As a creature of habit, I had to order their loco moco with fried rice on my first visit. The hamburger patty is homemade, and just as tasty and filling as the Kailua location. Looks like I found my favorite breakfast place in Kaneohe! :)

I tried to give 4.5 stars but my phone won’t let me.
This place is pretty great to bring family to kick back and eat some good homestyle breakfast together. The food is pretty damn good, the portions are pretty generous and there’s a nice variety, something for everyone. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting, no harsh bright lighting or too loud music.
The prices are not bad at all for the amount and quality that you get. You do have to wait a little bit for the food, but if you’re like me and appreciate freshly cooked food and not something that been sitting under a warmer all day, that small wait is so worth it. I actually try to avoid places that have cooked food sitting in the warmer all day (my exception is Panda Express).
The food is great, prices not bad, atmosphere inviting, what else? Employees are friendly and attentive. My fave thing here is the pancakes. Maybe IHOP has more variety, but I think these pancakes are great. My son loves their fried rice, and he, like myself, is very picky about fried rice. I also like their omelettes.
Never had any big issues there. As far as minor issues, only a couple. We walked in one day, waiting to be seated, it took about 5 minutes before we were noticed. In their defense, it was a slow moment, only one customer was there, and the waitress and the cook were talking story in the kitchen. I don’t really see anything wrong with that, it was minor in my opinion. Maybe a tiny bell to chime the door?
The only other issue was one morning, their Vanilla Macadamia Nut Kona coffee was just calling my name. I asked the waitress if they make their coffee on the strong side cuz i like it strong, she said yes. So I ordered one like «yes, that’s so gonna hit the spot!» And it was really weak :(so I told her it was a bit on the weak side, may I please order another cup? She brought me another cup and it was the same thing. The coffee was slightly transparent, and when I put cream in it, all I tasted was cream and no coffee (or Vanilla Macadamia) flavor. Maybe that’s just how their coffee is made; I expected a good strong coffee from a breakfast place. The place where I fell in love with a good strong Vanilla or Choc Mac Nut Kona coffee is at the Kaneohe Chevron gas station, but this was over 10 years ago.
Anyways, aside from those very minor, manini things, this is a great breakfast place and we still look forward to our next time eating there!

There’s nothing flashy about this greasy spoon but I love the tasty and no frills breakfast. I opted to skip the hour long waits at the other more «famous» places in Kailua and was immediately seated at Times on a Saturday at 10am.
I got the fried rice, two eggs over easy, two slices of toast, and link sausage for a very reasonable price. I liked that the fried rice was a tad on a sweet side and had no onions. I’d definitely come back.
