This place can get very busy during peak hours. Maybe the best açaí bowl in Waikiki. The waitress recommended the taro bagel and it did not disappoint. It came with a ube frosting and it was something I would order again.

Papaya boat
Sandra N.

This location in particular is quite crowded even on weekdays. The line will die down towards the middle of the afternoon so I would avoid mornings. They offer a bit of indoor and outdoor seating. They also offer a small selection of souvenirs like mugs and honey jars. Pro tip: you can order the food at their wine bar location right next door. Braised beef loco moco- 4/5 Some parts of the braised beef were melt in your mouth tender while other parts were more on the drier side. The gravy is a bit on the blander side in my opinion. Not bad but not the best loco moco I've had. Papaya boat with almond butter & goji berries- Papaya was sweet and refreshing served cold, but heavily doused in almond butter. Ratio was off in my opinion but it was still enjoyable. It felt wasteful to just toss the rest of the almond butter. Perhaps a side of cracker or two papaya halves should be served for the amount of almond butter. Prices were high. $9 for a cup of coffee and all of the food is over $15 each. Island Vintage serves a wide selection of food, coffee and acai bowls at very Hawaiian prices. I do feel there are better places to eat on the island but if you're already in the area and theres no line, I would say go for it. I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it though.

Liliko'i Moana Bowl
Ailun H.

Despite the temperamental rain and wind, the line of tourists extended outside Island Vintage Coffee, and my friends and I were still down to wait. After ordering, we were fortunately able to grab a table indoors to enjoy our afternoon sweet treats. LILIKO'I MOANA BOWL - 15.25 I really like liliko'i, so I immediately gravitated toward this acai bowl. It was on the smaller side at 16 oz, but topped generously with strawberry, papaya, banana, liliko'i honey, and organic granola. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I did enjoy the variety of fruit toppings! My friend got the mango smoothie, which she thought was fine. Overall, Island Vintage Coffee isn't a bad spot for acai, but I can't say it was my favorite in Waikiki.

I make sure to stop by this delicious coffee shop every time I'm in Waikiki or in the island at their other locations the aloha from the drinks to the staff was warm and wonderful. A cup of aloha to start off the day before seeing the sunrise on Waikiki beach is simply blissful and amazing

Natania C.

Was a really busy spot. I'd recommend anything with papaya - their papaya is really fresh. The cream was absolutely delicious. Perhaps a little too much acai relative to the toppings, but some might argue that you can never have too much acai.

Bacon and Egg Bagel
Victoria W.

My partner and I came here twice for breakfast on our trip. Both days we were able to get seated as soon as we arrived. The servers and hosts were very friendly and welcoming. For our first meal, we ordered the Braised Beef Loco Moco, the Lox of Bagel, the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl, the Island Latte, and the Acai Smoothie. The braised beef loco moco was delllllish. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The lox of bagel tasted very fresh. I ordered the purple potatoes on the side and wow...they were so sweet and crispy. The island latte was yummy! A little too sweet for my usual coffee order but I was on vacation. Hehe. The cacao moana acai bowl was by far my favorite thing I ordered. Just the presentation alone was awesome. The flower was such a pretty detail. But the flavor, of course, was what brought me back the next day to get it again. Our second meal here we got the Bacon Breakfast Bagel, the Kalua Pork Benedict, the Hawaiian Honey Latte, and the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl (AGAIN). I recommend the Hawaiian Honey Latte over the Island Latte. The Kalua pork benedict was SO GOOD. The pork was very moist and the portion was huge. I will absolutely come back here when I return to Oahu one day :)

Pretty standard coffee shop in Waikiki. It's located upstairs and if you sit on the patio it kind of feels like you're in a treehouse. The strawberry matcha was delicious. I would come back but I feel like the price is quite high, a bit higher than LA prices

Chloe A.

We loved Island Vintage Coffee. The location is beautiful, especially the patio overlooking the shopping street. It's such a nice place to sit outside, have coffee, and take a break from walking around Waikiki. We shared the turkey avocado panini with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. I also really liked that they have a full food menu with plenty of good options, so it feels like more than just a coffee stop. The Hawaiian coffee was the standout for me though. It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Definitely somewhere I would come back to for breakfast, lunch, or coffee.

Island Latte
Raiza B.

Visiting for 1 week and I came here 3 times. Ordered the iced island latte all three times! If there's a line, it goes by quickly. Can get pretty busy in the mornings but they will have someone help call out orders when they're ready. Staff is so friendly. If you can't get a table at the cafe, there's a nice outdoor area to enjoy your coffee.

Hot/Cold Island Latte...delicious!!!
Elizabeth S.

This review is only for Coffee. I was almost hesitant to make the line just for Coffee, but I'm so glad I did. First of all, they have a really efficient operation, so the wait to order was minimal. Then you go to another section to wait for your order and considering the people waiting, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing is it was a little crowded to check out their merchandise and let me tell you. I eyed alot of cute things! I had the Island Latte hot and my daughter had it cold and both were SO GOOD, with Macadamia Nut and a hint of Coconut. Well worth the wait!

Menu

Island Vintage Coffee Loved the order-ahead option--it made everything so easy! Customer service was great, and they moved quickly. My order was ready in less than 30 minutes, which I really appreciated. Everything was smooth and convenient, although I will say it's definitely on the pricier side. Overall, a great experience and I'd come back!

Jody M.

Delicious acai bowls and amazing coffee! Stopped here around 6am and there was already a line. It was worth the wait and we had a lovely view while we ate. I had a macadamia latte and my daughter had an amazing ube milkshake. We shared a açaí bowl with peanut butter and coco nibs that was the best I ever had.

Pineapple-Mint Moana Bowl
Melia R.

I think we came here three or four times during our trip! My bf and I became obsessed with their acai bowls for a late night treat since they close later on! My bf's go-to was the acai bowls with lilikoi honey, which was so phenomenal. I always ordered the acai bowl with pineapple mint sorbet, which was absolutely delicious and so refreshing in the hawaii heat! I also tried the frozen taro drink, which was basically what you can get at any boba shop. Regardless, it was still a delicious drink. The service is super fast and the staff were super friendly. I also loved the way that the cafe was decorated, and how convenient the location was. I miss it already! Absolutely recommend their acai bowls.

Sunny's Local Grind, Waikiki: A Little Hidden Gem Serving Big Breakfasts and Even Bigger Aloha!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Fantastic breakfast, generous portions, and some of the friendliest service you'll find in Waikiki! Sunny's Local Grind is a small, unassuming neighborhood eatery serving delicious food with plenty of personality and genuine aloha. Definitely worth a visit! The Details: My wife and I stumbled upon Sunny's Local Grind while staying at the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village. We'd dropped off some laundry at Ena, a wash-and-fold service down the road, and decided to grab breakfast while waiting for our clothes. Having checked out Sunny's Yelp ratings beforehand, I was pretty confident we'd found a winner. Still, you never quite know until you experience a place for yourself! The restaurant is small and casual, with a cozy dining area decorated with colorful local artwork. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian heat and humidity were in full swing, and it was a little too warm inside for my haole liking. Fortunately, Sunny's has a charming little outdoor dining area tucked into the alley alongside the building, complete with wooden tables, shade sails, and tropical decorations and a refreshing tropical breeze. Perfect! Now, let's talk breakfast! I ordered the Garden Omelette with Portuguese sausage added, accompanied by rice. WOW! This thing was absolutely packed with fresh ingredients, and best of all, it was loaded with glorious, gooey, melted cheddar cheese! One of my pet peeves with restaurant omelettes is when they advertise cheese but deliver barely enough to qualify as a garnish. Not Sunny's! They certainly were not stingy with the cheddar, and I appreciated every delicious bite! My wife ordered the French Toast with haupia coconut sauce, accompanied by eggs and bacon. She thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast, and was sweet enough to share a bite. I can certainly understand why! We need to start making haupia sauce at home...! The Service Deserves Special Mention! The folks working here were absolutely delightful! Warm smiles, vibrant personalities, friendly conversation, and plenty of laughs and witty banter. It's the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a small neighborhood restaurant feel special. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived, and that friendly atmosphere continued throughout our visit. And speaking of personalities, we even encountered an adorable little black-and-white dog perched proudly in the front basket of an electric bicycle outside while its owner stopped to order some food. Naturally, I had to snap a picture! That little character looked like the unofficial neighborhood supervisor, keeping an eye on everything! Final Thoughts: Sunny's Local Grind is located just a block farther down Ena Road from Aloha Kitchen, within easy walking distance of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's not fancy, nor does it pretend to be. It's simply a wonderful little local restaurant serving hearty, delicious breakfasts with generous portions and terrific hospitality. Between the outstanding omelette, my wife's delicious French toast, and the genuinely cheerful staff, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Would I return? Absolutely, without hesitation! Sometimes the best meals aren't found in the fanciest restaurants. They're tucked away in little neighborhood spots where the food is made with care and the aloha comes naturally. Sunny's certainly lives up to its name. The food is delicious, and the people brighten your day!

This place has been on my list for a while, and I finally made it in. I arrived around 7:30 AM, and…read moreit was moderately crowded. We waited about 10 minutes to order at the counter, and the food came out within another 10 minutes. I had the Sunny's Loco Moco, Decaf Coffee, and the Caramel Apple Pie. The Loco Moco was okay -- the meat was dry and the gravy felt a bit heavy. The decaf coffee was too weak and acidic for my taste; I usually grind my own Swiss water decaf and make it pour‑over style, and mine is definitely better. However, the Caramel Apple Pie was delicious, and I'd come back just for that. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this visit. Maybe I should've tried something other than the Loco Moco.

Their other location of Shirokiya Village Walk in Ala Moana closed abruptly during the start of COVID in March 2020 and sadly never reopened. That means the only Kulu Kulu is at Eaton Square conveniently located on the first floor. This Kulu Kulu store opened in 2013 and still going strong. We recently came here to capitalize on their 14th anniversary special with 8 assorted sweets for $27.50 (originally valued at $55) for a limited period of 3 days from 10/23/26 to 10/25/26. I originally was planning on getting a red velvet cake for my sister's birthday but consulted with the fam and decided on this anniversary special plus 4 of their famous Diamond Head Puffs, offered at BOGO deal. We ended getting several of their anniversary specials to give away to others and a box. After our dinner, we asked the staff who kept it chilled from when we arrived at the restaurant and were in awe of the attention and detail and precision. Crowd favorites were the mango mousse cake and Japanese cheesecake. Their Diamond Head puffs don't disappoint. So perfectly shaped with a firm exterior and center generously filled with cream. Some may think the cakes here are pricey but the quality and flavors justify. I personally enjoy the nama chocolate and eye stunning rainbow cake. I'm still glad we get to enjoy Kulu Kulu and even a super plus when they have their anniversary special. Congratulations for celebrating another year and looking forward to my next visit.
