(MUST MAKE A RESERVATION) What a gem of a place!! My partner and I have lived here for 3 years and just went today and we are in love! What a beautiful little place and an even more beautiful owner. We came to only realize that you needed reservations, fortunately they had a 12:00 spot available. We were starving, but decided to wait and boy are we glad we did. Paul is incredibly welcoming, so was the sever. And the food was out of this world, we had eggs Benedict, smoked salmon lettuce tomato sandwich and the Belgian waffles!! Wow oh wow was it incredible, best waffles I have ever had in my life. We will definitely make dining there a regular thing. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Paul cozy restaurant serves up delightful dishes like pasco de marco, eggs benedict, and Belgian waffles. It’s amazing that he runs it with his niece alone! The charming atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a must-visit spot for foodies looking for both great food and ambiance.

First time at Paul’s had the waffle, GET THE WAFFLE!!! Paul is so nice and welcoming you have to go meet him and his staff. The environment is very intimate which creates a vibe of connection. You are forced to be present if you really truly want to enjoy the atmosphere and aloha that he offers! Thank you Paul. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Belgian Waffle

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere with the cutest seasonal decorations, and absolutely delightful service. Make reservations ahead of time (texting works best and try to book a week in advance). We ordered the eggs Benedict, breakfast caprese, pasta de Marco, and waffles. Every bite was eaten with delight. The food is hearty but not heavy, bright and full of flavor. Paul is a welcoming host, shares info about the food and fun life stories too. The place was decorated for the season (fall/Halloween), you can see how much care goes in to everything here. We will absolutely be back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

If you've never been.....what the heck are you waiting for? Hospitality from both Paul himself and Bryoni was second to none! From casual convo to perfect meal suggestions, you will not find better service anywhere!! The food was absolutely amazing!!! Kids LOVED the Belgian Waffles, and we loved the Pasta de Marco and Fish Bowl. Both were a great tasty fusion of Chinese and Italian cuisine.....sounds weird but you gotta try!! Try and make reservations as the restaurant seats less than 10 people making walk-ins tough. Do yourself a favor and just go!!! Bryoni....we wish you all the success in your last semester at school. Enjoy. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My husband Paul and I had our first breakfast in Hilo at Paul’s Cafe Place and it did not disappoint! Paul and his beautiful daughter’s service was beyond this world. We were greeted with smiles the moment we arrived. Paul did everything in his power to accomodate me with lactose dietary. We had his famous Waffles, they were to die for! I highly recommend you take a trip to Paul’s Cafe, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Paul and your amazing team, we can’t wait to come back soon!

Paul’s Place is a must next time you’re in Hilo! Make a reservation bc it’s the only way to get a seat in this Ohana style cafe and the mana is real! Paul and his staff are genuine and so fun and the waffle is next level!

Had a great breakfast. Unfortunately we were seated 50 minutes after our reservation ( reservations are a must). But they more then made up for it. The hospitality was so good my better half had to give Paul a hug when we left. The food was very good, we both had the eggs Benedict. We were comped a Belgian Waffle, which was outstanding.
