Breakfast at Basalt

The Avocado Garden Toast is almost too pretty to eat!

Basalt Waikiki located in Duke’s Lane is quickly becoming my new favorite place for breakfast!  They offer a great breakfast menu selection daily from 7am to 2:30pm and if you go during the week, it’s not at all crowded which makes getting a table or reservation very easy.  

On this occasion, I wanted something light so I ordered the Avocado Garden Toast – one of their signature dishes.  The avocado is served on grilled wheat bread with cherry tomato, micro greens, watermelon radish, and pumpkin seeds.  I didn’t expect it to be so pretty or delicious!  

I was curious about the Basalt Charcoal Buttermilk Pancakes that’s topped with guava-strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and mixed fresh berries so I ordered a side pancake.  The server was nice enough to tell me the side pancake didn’t come with all the toppings and suggested ordering a short stack instead which we did.  The charcoal color is the draw, but did not affect the yummy taste of those super fluffy buttermilk pancakes.  I loved the texture of the pancakes and the guava-strawberry sauce added just enough sweetness.     

Our breakfast was so delicious and relaxing that it really made an impression.  A must try next time you are in Waikiki hungry for breakfast.
