01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Sweet-and-savory Spam paired with creamy avocado and mayonnaise makes the Avocado Spam Bowl one of Café Pōpoki’s signature lunchtime dishes. For those who prefer an alternative, a regular Spam Bowl comes generously topped with fresh tomato and shredded nori instead of avocado, giving diners easy rice bowl options tailored to their tastes.

For a heartier meal, the menu includes a staple minced-pork keema curry accented with ginger, as well as a meat-free bean curry combining yellow split peas and soybeans. Curries can be ordered with white rice, ten-grain rice, or naan, accompanied by side salads like carrot salad, mushroom yogurt salad, or tomato and cucumber balsamic salad. Homestyle Western dishes also make an appearance, such as an omurice that conceals meat-sauce rice beneath fluffy eggs enriched with melted cheese.

Gentle Hours Filled with the Aroma of Kona Coffee

Hawaiian Kona coffee and Ryukyu black tea enrich an afternoon coffee break or post-meal relaxation. During lunchtime, a free-refill drink option that allows takeout is available, which pairs nicely with sweets like coffee jelly or shaved ice. Handmade omusubi rice balls and bread are also on hand, accommodating everything from a quick bite to a full lunch.

Cat-themed accents and magazines blend into the relaxed, calm interior. The café also welcomes visits with pet dogs, providing a comforting retreat whether stopping by for a quiet solo morning or unwinding during a busy lunch break.
