    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!

    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.

    my first time here at this cute diamond head cafe, love the mango passion smoothie and the fresh homemade custard malasada ... it's cool and breezy inside with hip music

    Laura W.

    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.

    French Toast
    Desiree R.

    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.

    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.

    This is hidden gem I came across. Needed to get lunch and loved trying this place. Can't wait to go back. It was a good sized portion with an abundance of flavor.

The line moved relatively quickly even on weekend though, so don't let it hinder you from trying. We got their iconic Black Sesame Kouign Amann and loved it too much. Impeccably flaky and buttery pastry base with flawless caramelized bottom. The black sesame paste also came in just right dose and sweetness. I wasn't a fan of black sesame but I would rave over this pastry!! We did have their Pineapple Almond Croissant, which was decent but if you had to prioritize, doubtlessly go for kouign amann. The Chocolate Chip cookie was okay to skip IMHO. We came back again another day for their pistachio and chocolate ones and they were just as mindblowing! If you loved milk coffee, I would recommend their latte as the cold brew could be tad acidic even with added milk. I got their Cold Brew with soy milk first time then Vanilla Latte the second time, and certainly loved the latter better. They did have some indoor and outdoor sit-down spaces but they're constantly occupied so you might need to wait awhile to get one.

Known for its smooth, light, and mildly acidic flavor profile with notes of chocolate and nuts, it is highly prized and regulated by the state to combat food fraud. True Kona coffee is only grown on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa volcanoes. We had been told to check out Kona Coffee Purveyors at International Marketplace by a good handful of Honolulu friends and I'm glad I heeded their advice. The best coffee on our trip was had here and I wish I had more time to grab another cuppa! I ordered a black sesame latte for myself, shared an affogato, and tried a Konawaena pour over (Kiwae honey, roasted macadamia, and milk chocolate) pourover. The latte was sip after sip of balanced coffee with a hint of black sesame. The pour over is where you truly get the caffeine. As for the affogato, easily the best affogato had on the trip (and I had plenty~). I highly recommend Kona Coffee Purveyors if you're in the Waikiki area. The ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly!

Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!

The staff were so so kind which always makes or breaks a coffee shop experience (in my option), so thank you for being so welcoming! I ordered their The Cloud Matcha. I believe they use Wai Koko as the base & coconut cream for the top. The drink was good, but it was small and I felt like there wasn't enough matcha in it for how much I paid (over $8). They also don't have Wi-Fi (which I believe may be by design) so if you're planning on doing work, be prepared to use your hotspot if you have one. Overall, this is a beautiful space to have that "coffee shop" experience with friends to talk story or if you're looking for a quieter shop to relax and rewind.
