When my friends decided to meet at Bread + Butter for Lunch, I was thrilled since they are a new café opened by the same owners of Shokudo right next door. It occupies the former Angelo Pietro location near Ala Moana. I was most curious to see how their chef combines ingredients using Japanese, Spanish, American, and local cuisine as inspiration.

The interior is bright and airy, with a combination of wood, concrete, and succulent plants--making for a comfortable place that you can't help but want to linger for a bit.
The idea behind the restaurant is pretty awesome. A place where one can visit 3 times a day and be able to order different things each time. You can grab coffee in the morning, prepared food (sandwiches and salads) to-go for lunch. Then once night falls, drop by for a glass of wine.
Seating is free-for all and water and utensils are self-service. It's almost like going to Starbucks except you get your food delivered to the table once it's ready. Don't forget to tip!.

 White Sangria ($10) for Lunch. A bit early in the day, but sure why not? |  I love this sign. |
Lobster Bisque Mac & Cheese ($9.95).
The Lobster Bisque Mac & Cheese was creamy and decadent. No shortage of cheese here for sure. Very delicious!
The staff was really friendly and the food was excellent. The prices are super affordable too! I would return just to eat the Squid Ink Pasta and the Lobster Bisque Mac & Cheese. If you are still hungry after, walk on over to Shokudo and order their famous Honey Toast.
Prosciutto and Fig Pizza with Arugula ($14.95).
Squid Ink Pasta ($16.95). The texture is silky and sublime. Made fresh daily too!
Squid Ink Pasta. The sauce is so good I almost wanted to lick the plate. Like an infatuation, I am still thinking about this pasta days later!
My next visit here will definitely be at night time to check out their wine bar and tapas menu.
