Breakfast burritos, fancy savory scones and Four Barrel and Stumptown brews on the Clever Dripper. Best coffee I've had in Waikiki, and a very handy stop on the way to Moana Falls.
Perfect brunch spot. Deliciously balanced flavors. Meticulously blended retro/modern/surf decor. Amazing French toast that highlights fresh tropical fruits without being too sweet.
Quaint cafe with a wide selection of musubis (essentially Hawaiian onigiri). My favorites were the 1) ume (plum)/spam, and 2) spicy cod roe/salmon. $5 min for credit cards, so buy a BUNCH to snack on.
Each Saturday, a different local restaurant offers a heaping hot-plate breakfast and there's often a popular stand selling fried green tomatoes. Read more.
Grab some lunch and enjoy it under the trees or on the grass. This park is the site of many festivals, sports and music events.
Go online to get reservations for visits in the future. Otherwise you can pick up tickets for visits later the same day. Last visiting hour is 3:00 pm.
Really nice art museum especially if you're interested in art form different Asian countries. They have a decent collection of Western art. Very nice gift shop! I like the local artists exhibitions.
Get the popeye over rice! If you're skeptical about eating vegan food, this place is a great place to start.
Great beach for the little ones. I don't know if it was that specific day we went but the water was blue but lacked the crystal clear. Over all had a great experience and gorgeous views!
Stop in for the various tap takeovers that usually occur on Tuesdays. Can't beat this place for craft beer on the island.
Amazing seafood, awesome outdoor seating, great drinks, fast service, friendly staff. The freshest of fish, it's located in the same building as the actual market. Seared Ahi Tuna Steak is superb!
Good service. The belly bowl is quite huge with plenty of fatty meat. Anyone who is a meat lover will enjoy this particular dish. I couldn't finish my bowl, but there is a takeaway option.
A quieter place to go for a decent sunset cocktail. There's a few grey hairs, but there's not as many loud groups. Killer spot for a photo too.
Excellent cocktails. I had the No Surprise. Drinks are hand made with natural ingredients. Pretty chill although it can get a bit crowded.
Great pastries, including the over the top chocolate banana pineapple croissant. Cappuccino also the standout for coffee options, velvety rich.
You may think you traveled to Hawaii for the beach and palm trees, but you’re really there for the doughnuts. In particular, the malasadas, Portuguese-style fried dough coated with cinnamon. Read more.
Bring some food and drinks, there are no vendors here. You have to watch a short video about reef behavior before you're allowed to enter. Great place for families and lovely place!
Fantastic views and fun hike. Recommend getting there early (opens at 6am) to get parking and avoid major crowds. Toward the end are some serious stairs and a 200+ foot tunnel to think about.
The Baked Char Siu Bau is the best you can find, especially when it's hot, steamy, and fresh from the oven.
Amazing spot for some cheap eats / lunch specials in the form of delicious poke bowls. $9 after tax, includes a drink.
Must-have pipikaula (short ribs). Always expect to wait. I personally order take out but the service is great!
Best shaved ice ever... it was really soft compared to all the other ones I've tried. I got the lychee, mango, and melona with condensed milk and lilikoi cream on top.
Love this beach. Can get pretty crowded but has some great surf spots and a nice sheltered area of the ocean for calmer water.
Excellent beers and snacks-and-sandwiches menu. Get the beer flight (4 × 4 oz samplers) and fried pickles.
Great place to go sit and watch the sunset or just go for a dip. Usually packed, and the parking is a headache. Park at the Ala Moana Center and walk.
Asian with a modern international twist. Largely Vietnamese food. All are satisfyingly good. Coconut horchata and the desserts are worth trying.
The Duke's right on Waikiki Beach is a true institution. Great atmosphere, delicious food and tasty cocktails. A place where you should plan a stop during your O'ahu stay.
Pricey hotel bar drinks but 100% worth every penny. Their mai tais are strong and made with freshly squeezed juices!
