    Lots of pineapple cream inside
    Mayumi C.

    I went to their malasada pop-up at the Kakaako Farmers Market. They make each malasada to order, so it's crunchy on the outside and mochi-like texture on the inside. You should definitely try it -- you don't want to miss this! It goes perfectly with coffee or hot tea. Enjoy!

    Been back a few times and I really love this place. Street parking easy to find in the AM; a few stalls in the back. The breakfast was fresh: The service was great! Love the malasadas! Fun ambiance!

    I had a great experience here at aloha cafe pineapple. I ordered the french toast and I liked it but it was slightly undercooked and a tiny bit gooey on the inside but I understand many people like it that way! Either way I still finished my food. Their smoothies are very good and refreshing you can make no mistake when choosing a flavor because they will all be good. I wouldn't say this is a must have place but it's a good option if you don't want to eat directly on the waikiki strip. If you are driving make note that parking is very small and limited. Behind the restaurant there is only three spots and it can get tight so I would recommend finding some street parking.

    First timer. Parking in back lot but limited to 3 and 1 handicap. Food was okay; French toast average and runny yogurt. Food more limited to sweets for breakfast and 4-5 lunch plates for afternoon. Noise level wasn't too bad as I was able to do some work but they were playing interesting western music which was kinda different for the atmosphere, felt like I was at a country bar. I wouldn't come here if I am trying to get a big bkfast for my $. Customers more touristy as it's near Waikīkī.

    Aloha Cafe Pineapple is a wonderful place for people who loves shrimp, coffee, and meat! This restaurant deserves 4 stars, next time it could be 5 stars if some tables would be cleaned faster. Overall, this restaurant is highly recommended. The Garlic Shrimp is very fragrant and flavorful. Also, for shrimp lovers got to try this number one meal. Secondly, the Locomoco is amazing. The sauce goes with the beef patty and the rice. Plus, the salad was very delicious. It was crunchy too. Lastly, the coffee was sweet, just right for the people who enjoy coffee. In conclusion, this restaurant takes the number one position.

    My fave local spot over by diamond head. Small, cozy, great food for a good price. The French toast slaps every single time here. The donuts are also fresh and soft. Really can't beat the price for the quality and portion sizing. Parking out back is also convenient. Staff are friendly enough when taking your order. It's always a breakfast fave for us when coming to Oahu.

    After making that climb up Diamond Head, stop over at Aloha Cafe (just a couple of blocks away) for a well deserved breakfast or smoothie. Great reviews on Yelp drew me to the little cafe. I was pleased that they had a small parking area behind the building. The cafe is cute, with tables inside and out. There is a window outside to order masaladas or smoothies. Inside, they offer breakfast and lunch options and all coffees. I ordered the special Monsarrat Breakfast, which has to be the best deal on the island. The breakfast is only $6.80 (9/24) with additional purchase of a drink. The Monsarrat comes with 2 eggs, 2 thick-cut slices of bacon, 2 slices of toast, side salad, and 2 slices of fresh pineapple! The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly with runny yokes. The salad and pineapple refreshing. The Mango Passion Smoothie was delicious, refreshing, tart and creamy. The smoothies was served with a big slice of pineapple. At $6 (9/24), the smoothies are a bargain Service is friendly. Clerk, Emiko, was happy to change my drink order after she'd already rung it up. There is a restroom! Handicapped parking with a ramp is also available. I'll be back for sure.

    Have you seen this cute little cafe by Diamond Head? Well, what are you waiting, buckle up and visit them in the morning for breakfast ;) Or stop by after a a hike, walk or a good run, and have a brunch. Aloha Cafe Pineapple provides a warm and relaxing atmosphere that welcomes both locals and tourists. The staff are so friendly, and it's a really cute little cafe. I got the Monsarrat plate with toast, 2 slices of crispy bacon, 2 eggs, and side green salad with dressing. The dressing is good. I forgot to ask what it was. I guess I'll just have to make another visit to their cafe. I also ordered the chocolate banana French toast. This is fluffy, perfectly seasoned and really delicious! It was a perfect together since I had the salt from the crispy bacon then ended on a a sweet note. I tried their caramel latte. This, I'll still give the 5 stars but this drink didn't have the coffee taste and barely a caramel flavor. I'm not sure what it was but I didn't have the heart to have them redo it. Maybe I should have since it ended in the trash. *sadly* I'll still come back ;) I'm positive that the caramel latte was made incorrectly and unintentionally.

    Aloha Cafe Pineapple is located on Monsarrat Ave (next to Coffee Bean). They have a small parking area in the back with one handicap and two regular stalls. They offer dine-in and take out. I tried looking up their menu online so I could call it in and not have to wait. Found a menu on their IG stories. Items were super hard to read (small font). Suggestion: Post the menu in sections so text is legible. :) I then tried looking up menu on Yelp but got confused because they have daily or weekly special items. So I ended up calling them and had to get the menu read over the phone. Lesson learned: They have a set menu (see attached photos) and a daily special. You will need to call them to get the daily special (and find out if it is sold out). It would be useful if they posted their specials on their IG (which seems semi active). I got the Grilled Chicken Plate. Chicken was nicely grilled and cooked perfectly. Salad was nice and I really enjoyed the mac salad. The mac salad was light on mayo, which I liked. Alas and Alack, the rice was mushy and overcooked, which is always a shock in Hawaii. I mean, rice is life here! I also tried their Malasada cos I was curious. The malasada are made in advance (today was 8 am), so not fresh made. Not bad for pre-cooked go to Leonard's or Pipeline for piping hot ones. Strawberry Peach Soda was lovely. Would definitely get it again. Service was excellent.

    Great malasada, had the honey whip along with a delicious cold brew; perfect stop after diamond head hike! Ate my malasada too fast to take a pic

    Super cute and nice place! Love the vibes in here. Staff was super friendly but the food did take a little longer than what we thought it would.

    If you take the public bus to the Diamond Head Summit Trail early in the morning (as Jamie W. and I heartily suggest you do), you'll probably be motivated to walk all the way back to Waikiki on Monsarrat Avenue. It's not a bad walk at all, but we were getting hungry well before we saw any sign of the Pacific. This bright cafe was the first tangible sign of edible nirvana. Reviews were quite positive, so we decided to have our brunch here. Unlike the eateries closer to the beach, it wasn't crowded at all. We immediately saw they make their own malasadas, so we ordered two for $1.50 each (photo: https://bit.ly/3SPdq1Y). Covered in sugar, they were soft and warm and gone too soon. Perfect start as we segued to our respective Hawaiian lunch plates. They had more standard rice plates with chicken and shrimp, but Jamie ordered the $16 Shrimp Omurice. It was a soft omelette rolled with butter rice, topped with eight garlic shrimp, and ladled with Alfredo sauce. After all, it wouldn't be Hawaiian unless it had cream, butter, and macaroni salad (photo: https://bit.ly/3F0YMyW). I went with the other special, the $14 Chicken Omurice. It consisted of pieces of braised chicken thigh over the same soft omelette and butter rice. Ketchup replaced the Alfredo sauce, and surprisingly, pineapple chunks replaced the macaroni salad (photo: https://bit.ly/3SOoAE8). Good stuff though, brudda, and it was refreshing to receive the gratitude of the owner at the end of the meal. Ho, dis buggah is 'ono! Fo' realz broke da mout! FOOD - 5 stars...real Hawaiian deliciousness AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...simple cafe and quite comfortable SERVICE - 5 stars...friendly and grateful TOTAL - 5 stars...you deserve it after scaling Diamond Head RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

    This fresh food shop in Oahu is absolutely fantastic and has been one of the highlights of my trip!…read moreThe customer service is truly exceptional. The wonderful Hawaiian ladies who run the shop are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their aloha spirit shines through in every interaction, and they make you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. The smoothies are some of the freshest and most authentic I've ever tasted. Everything tastes natural, wholesome, and made with high-quality organic ingredients. My favorites are the guava and strawberry smoothies, which are bursting with fresh fruit flavor and perfectly refreshing without tasting overly sweet or artificial. The biggest compliment I can give is that during my one-week vacation in Hawaii, I've already come back three times! That's how good this place is. When you find food this fresh, service this friendly, and an atmosphere this welcoming, you can't help but keep coming back. If you're looking for authentic, healthy, delicious food and drinks in Oahu, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is an absolute gem and deserves every one of its five stars. Highly recommend!

    Located on South Beretania next to Dew Drop Inn. There's a small parking lot with several stalls,…read morethough I would suggest coming here with someone, so that they can circle around while you run inside and order. Lots of fresh fruit when you first walk in, with a digital menu to look at, along with suggestions of people's favorite combinations. Also a section of crack seed goodies as well. There was 1 person working, so it took a little bit of time for her to work through the orders, to then take new orders. Patience is key. And there's not a lot of space to wait, when it gets busy, which may be why there's a bench directly outside. Got the strawberry guava smoothie, though it seems as if they threw the entire guava plus the seeds inside, as it was the crunchiest smoothie I've ever had. I would've much preferred that they omitted the seeds or strained them out prior to blending. Also would've liked a more thicker smoothie, as it liquified and separated rather quickly on the drive home. The honey kumquat lemon tea on the other hand was delicious. I had asked for lemon tea (no honey, no kumquat), and ended up with this. Not mad about this mishap, as it was rather refreshing and something I never knew I needed.

    I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

    Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.

They will do takeout on the dessert, however it does not travel well. The ice cream melts, the frozen coconut cream thing melts and it becomes a big mess. They have an app and a loyalty program - use it and you can get some free stuff. The timing in the app isn't always right because sometimes it says ready in 20 minutes but it's in 5 and sometimes it's in like 30. I don't think they adjust the timing to reflect how busy they are inside; I wish they did. Small spot to sit down and eat there if you want and some outdoor tables. However the outdoor tables are considered takeout, so if you order desserts, it won't come on the plates, it will be boxed, and sometimes a mess when the ice cream parts melt and make the paper soggy. No bathrooms inside. They are friendly enough but they often feel like they don't really want to be there but they're cordial enough. I will keep coming back for the dessert anyway! They say they close at 9pm but they don't. The told me 8:45pm and if you come at 8:55pm they're basically shut down. Not a fan of this because if you really close at 8:45pm, then change your hours. Otherwise actually stay open til 9pm, which does mean workers have to stay later. In any case, I'm not a fan when there's this mismatch. On the other hand. The Alley says they're open til 9pm, and if you're at the door at 9pm, they'll let you in.
