Caption: The ultimate in coffee shop dining nestled in the heart of Waikiki. Designed by Vladimir Ossipoff, and adjacent to his equally outstanding McInerny Store, fronting Kalakaua Avenue and creating a buffer between the Royal Grove of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the busy thoroughfare.

Demolished and replaced by the Royal Hawaiian Center in 1977.
