Boots and Kimos – Serving the Best Macadamia Nut Pancakes in Hawaii

Boots and Kimos’ macadamia nut pancakes are a must-try when you visit Hawaii.

This spot is a huge favorite among locals for its pancakes topped with an original special sauce and its fluffy, delicious omelets!

While many pancake shops originating in Hawaii have expanded overseas, Boots and Kimos remains a one-of-a-kind location.

There’s always a line, so if you want to dine in, the best tip is to arrive right when they open to avoid a long wait.♪

Even on weekdays, the wait can be about an hour, so I recommend getting takeout, which usually takes only 15 to 20 minutes, no matter how busy it is!

It’s definitely one of the top 3 most popular pancake spots in Hawaii, so you have to try it at least once.

Boots and Kimos’ Macadamia Nut Pancakes

The macadamia nut pancakes are the signature dish you absolutely must order at Boots and Kimos!

Despite its appearance, it’s not overly sweet and is easy to eat. The sauce is simply divine!♪

It’s rumored to taste surprisingly similar to Häagen-Dazs macadamia nut ice cream.

The pancakes are on the thinner side, but they have a pleasant chewy texture, and the banana mixed into the batter adds a nice sweetness, creating a perfect balance.

You can order a regular size (full stack) with three pancakes or a smaller size (short stack) with two.

The amount of sauce is the same for both; the only difference is one less pancake.

While fruit toppings are available, I personally think simple is best.

For takeout, you can choose to have the sauce poured on top or served on the side, so consider how long it will be before you eat.

Boots and Kimos’ Omelets

Kailua has many restaurants known for their delicious egg dishes, and the omelets at Boots and Kimos are definitely among them!

They use three and a half specially selected eggs and vegetables sourced from Maui, setting their omelets apart from the rest.

The crispy hash browns are a popular choice for the side dish.♪

Speaking of egg dishes, their Eggs Benedict is also very popular. I recommend sharing a few different items with friends when you visit.

Their fried rice and kalbi plate are also delicious, so give them a try if you have a chance.

Boots and Kimos’ French Toast

This French toast is what the staff at Boots and Kimos recommend most.

It features fluffy toast covered in their special macadamia nut sauce!

The sauce pairs perfectly with it, and personally, I find it even more delicious than the pancakes.

Since its debut on the menu, it has quickly gained a loyal following, and it might just surpass the pancakes in popularity one day.

For those who find the pancakes a bit too filling, the French toast is an excellent alternative.♪
