Notable: Kaimuki neighbors enjoy Café Laufer for morning espresso, a light lunch, a meeting and mid-afternoon snack with business associates, or late dessert after a movie.
Menu: The sign says Fine Pastries and Coffee, but the menu reaches farther afield, with interesting entree specials, soups, sandwiches, salads, a beautiful brie plate with fruit. Spend some time at the pastry case eyeing the chocolate charlotte russe and eclairs. Youll find classic desserts you rarely see anymore, such as Peach Melba and Pear Helene.
