Obsessions Cafe

Good food, good prices.

The pancakes and French toast were very good.

If you have kids, and they're anything like mine, keep in mind that they do not have a restroom; you need to go to the Big Save store next door.

No nonsense breakfast in the heart of Wiamea is what you'll find at Obsessions Cafe. It was a humid Sunday morning, our stomachs were rumbling and the pickin's were slim. Thankfully Yelp was there to guide us to a restaurant to fulfill our breakfast desires. A blend of Hawaiian and mainland fare is available on the menu, and the staff is all business... not quite like a specific Seinfeld episode, but you'll find find out quickly enough.

How is one to decide what to do for breakfast, something sweet or savory?! When in doubt, and hungry enough, do both. An custom made omelette and an order of pancakes were selected from the menu. There are two syrups you can select from stored in squeeze like bottles, [sweet] coconut or traditional maple. The coconut syrup is pretty thick, and very sweet - overly sweet for me which made me opt for the maple instead. The pancakes were OK, nothing remarkable and no unique twist here. The phrase "no nonsense" comes to mind again when describing these pancakes. They're fluffy without disintegrated from syrup and not so rubbery that you can't use a fork to break off manageable bites. The omelette follows suit offering a generous portion of eggs and omelette type filler. It was definitely enough to satisfy my hunger, but again nothing really stood out.

The seating area is small and filled with plastic patio type chairs. There is a center island where thermoses of water and condiments are stored which can be more difficult to move around when there are people getting what they need. I don't recall there being any specific parking lot for Obsessions, but there is ample street parking available through the town. Even if you get a bad parking spot you're a couple of minutes away from the front door.

No nonsense breakfast, fare prices, hunger stands not a chance.

The ultimate loco moco is GOOD. I like that it comes with Portuguese sausage and cheese. The sausage has a nice chili flavor, yum!
