We stayed in Honolulu for a week and we had to have visited Sunny's almost every day. The food, coffee and service were amazing and it was by far our favorite spot to get great food. The pork belly loco moco was great, but I think the sleeper hit is the spicy chicken biscuit! We miss Sunny's and wish we could door dash it from home! read more

The line moved fast and food was solid, but the atmosphere wasn't so sunny lol. The workers seemed stressed out and the back kitchen worker came out and made some snarky comments at them calling them useless. Aside from that, breakfast burrito with bacon was delish! Wish they provided some pico de gallo on the side. Biscuits and gravy with Chicken karaage was solid. So savory and yummy. And avocado toast was good too. I got the coconut Haupia latte with oat milk. That was good. Overall the whole experience was good, but I'd probably just do takeout and never wait in line for it. read more

Came here for the loco moco and it didn't disappoint. Tasty and quite filling as long as you take your time eating it, lol. Get a side of ketchup mixed with sriracha and it's a nice flavorful heat. Come early for best seating as it is limited, small little place. A neighboring breakfast business down the block was way too crowded with many tourists waiting, so this was a great find. read more

I ordered their haupia iced coffee and a chocolate almond croissant. The coffee was okay but sadly not worth $8. I expected the croissant to have filling but it only had a chocolate glaze on top. It tasted great despite no filling but didn't have much chocolate flavor. The glaze was more sugary like a krispy Kreme glaze coat rather than a chocolate coating. The staff were super kind and the space was very welcoming. I'd go back to try more off their menu but the items I ordered during this visit didn't hit the mark for me. read more

This spot was lovely! They opened at 6 AM. I arrived at 6:30 AM and there were already two other parties waiting for the 7 AM breakfast start. Staff were super nice and on top of everything. I loved that the atmosphere engenders a community spirit so strangers were chatting each other up throughout the whole visit. A line formed at the door right as breakfast was about to start, so this place is popular. And the crowd was a rich mix of locals on their way to work and tourists. My veggie breakfast sandwich was solid. Great way to start the day! read more

Delicious breakfast spot! My go to is the Denver omelette. Great pricing and friendly staff!

Great local hangout with solid coffee and a great burrito. The tots inside the burrito were so crispy and the Trashcan Scramble was fab!

Came here for a quick grab for brek. I got a blueberry muffin and a Coconut latte. Decent coffee and good pastry! My family liked their food as well. Veggie sammy was a fav of ours. Very limited seating inside. Service was amazing. read more

We ordered the Biscuits and Gravy with Sausage, since I was craving some Southern food. Unfortunately this place was a miss for me. On the high note, the biscuits were crispy and buttery and the sausage was decent but sparse. On the low note, the gravy was under-seasoned and tasted bland to me which made the whole plate quite underwhelming. Maybe an off day, but we probably won't be back. read more

While walking in Waikiki, we made a wrong turn, which brought our stroll to Duke's for breakfast into quite the hike. My crew and I happened upon the little gem. It's small and quaint, both indoors and out. The mood is utterly Hawaiian. Very chill and pleasant. The staff is so kind. The food was good. We got to celebrate and chat outside with others enjoying their birthdays on the isle too. read more

I started with their coffee of the day, it was very sweet and hit the spot for a pre- breakfast treat. My meal was delicious and I had some leftovers to have the next morning. read more

Omg this place was so yummy. I felt like this is a place where they make your food with love. The ladies were very nice and the place was very clean. Cute little place with really yummy food. I just found it today and I leave tomorrow but I'll definitely be back whenever I come to visit. Food was cooked to perfection and it didn't take too long even though there were a few people there. Mmmmm so good! read more

Sunny's Local Grind in Honolulu was very satisfying overall. The kimchi fried rice was flavorful and the portion was perfect. Very filling and satisfying without feeling too heavy. The steak sammie was really good. It almost complements a Philly cheesesteak in how the steak was cut and prepared, with peppers and cheese, but it definitely stood out on its own. The steak was cooked perfectly and the bread was soft and buttery, which made the whole sandwich come together really well. The banana bread latte the first time we had it was just okay, but on our second visit it was very good and had a great balance of all the flavors. The matcha was just okay. I sweetened it with vanilla, and only after swirling the drink did the vanilla come through--and even then, only temporarily--before it went back to tasting like flavorless green milk. Overall, the food is solid, filling, and satisfying. I'd definitely come back for the kimchi fried rice and steak sammie, but I'd skip the matcha next time. read more

Tried the breakfast burrito, trashcan scramble, ube latte, as well as the ube coconut pastry. Food was 10/10, flavor was spot on and seasoned well. Portions were a good size and very filling. Ube latte was not very good, lacked the ube flavor and tasted like straight coffee. Ube/coconut pastry was 9/10 so delicious, had a great ube and coconut flavor. Was a little dry but the texture was croissant like so it wasn't bad. Would definitely recommend Sunnys! read more

We came because we wanted to try the restaurant down the street but was super full! Which we are glad we got to enjoy Sunnys Local Grind. We had a macadamia nut iced latte and a sugarfree hazelnut iced latte, both were good. We also ordered a breakfast burrito for my husband and I had the veggie burrito (peppers, onion, mushrooms, cheese, tater tots, egg) and added the portugués sausage, my son had French toast with bacon. It was all fresh and delicious. Thank you. read more

The specialize in breakfast all day...at least their operating hours: 600a to 230p, daily. Local and traditional breakfast fare; they also serve lunch items. I had their Trashcan Scramble. Aptly named, it has everything in it - bacon, ham, pohdagee sausage, cheese, tomatoes, peppers...al over tater tots. It is the breakfast of rednecks? Blahlahs? Jk So, the brekkie scramble was good. I did get the Butterfly Pea Tea Lemonade and it was on the sour side. I didn't see/hear a sweetness option. Lots of coffee and tea options. Parking is is the back. Entrance is via the 7-Eleven on the corner of Ena Road and Kalakaua Ave. You drive thru an alleyway, past the laundromat , and it is on the right. read more

Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Very nice spot to stop for breakfast! I'm usually not a coffee drinker but decided to get one here and I ended up loving it! My burrito was tasty and a decent size, something I'd consider ordering again. We were lucky to snag indoor seating during our visit, but space is limited since it's a small shop. Fortunately, there's outdoor seating nearby as well. The decor was charming and has local artwork. Very welcoming vibes from the interior and staff. read more

Went there for lunch on a Saturday. Awesome time, as there was no line and lots of seats. But also no biscuits and gravy. Fairly easy to find street parking. I could see how this place would be super busy in the morning, as the inside only seats about 8-10 people, while outside maybe 20 but you brave the weather and birds. Great service. Tried their garden omelet with wheat toast, breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage, hot latte, and freshly squeezed lemonade. Im glad their food is not salty, but then it does need ketchup or something. The omelet and burrito tasted like what we'd make at home. Very comforting. Great knife skills, as everything was cut up into little pieces. Latte good but lemonade taste like they used the squeeze bottle lemon juice, so quite tart. read more

I was looking for breakfast with some substance bc I had a longgg day ahead of me. Ended up landing on sunny's and I'm so glad I did. Their menu contains a lot of the classic breakfast type plates w a local twist, but all along my eyes were set on a slamming breaky burrito, which is what I got. You see those pictures big dawg. That's their breakfast burrito w some good ol pordugee sausage sheeeesh. GAS STATION yall. Throw some chili pepper watah or whatever hot sauce. Gollllly. Now idk if this was a one off but when I went there was a modest line that was moving a bit slowly. But I mean, one wahine was working solo and taking orders, making coffees, serving food. I felt bad for her! She killed it tho. Go show some love. read more

Amazing, delicious, quick, friendly. We walked up to Aloha Cafe from our hotel to find it was fully packed with a line out the door waiting to be seated. We walked 350 feet further and found Sunny's Local Grind where we were able to walk right up and order! They have an amazing looking assortment of pastries, a solid menu, and legit coffee! My vanilla latte was very delicious alongside the loco moco. They have a small amount of seating inside and some nice seating under an awning outside which is where we sat and enjoyed! I love a successful accidental find and recommend that everyone waiting in line to Aloha Cafe walk on down to Sunny's! You won't be disappointed! read more

While looking for a local restaurant to enjoy a morning latte, but were heavily persuaded by the Loco Moco previously (and highly) reviewed here on yelp. What we ordered: Breakfast Burrito - The textures of all ingredients were gracefully balanced. When a breakfast burrito has tater tots it's always a good sign!!!! Loco Moco w/ Pork Belly Burnt Ends - The gravy is hands down some of the best i've EVER had. Alongside the tender pork belly with a sunny side up egg, was IMPECCABLE. Ube Latte - Rich in flavor in the best way possible. Haupia Coconut Latte - I love receiving a latte that's perfectly balanced with coffee notes and sweetness, for my it's been a really hard thing to find and this place nails it. read more

Food trucks are right across the street, but I decided to come to this place based on the Ube coffee and the Loco Moco. It was worth the wait as I needed the Loco Moco to satisfy my savory craving and the Ube to satisfy my sweet tooth. Just know the place is packed it the morning and there is limited seat inside. I didn't realize until looking at reviews that they have a patio seating area, so just a heads up. The place is busy and I would say yeah you can eat and chill but there's probably better places to sit in. Nonetheless this is a great spot to get brunch. read more

Tried out a local favorite, breakfast spot. What a winner! A cozier spot, off the Main Street, with fantastic service. As we walked up, we could tell there was already a sense-of-community with this place. Everyone was very friendly, the restaurant itself was clean, bright, and there were patrons that were quite obviously regulars of this establishment. You order at the front register and take a seat, if any are available. Thankfully we got to sit inside, enjoy our food, and watch the interactions of people coming and going. I ordered the Trashcan Scramble, which is a bit more on the traditional side of breakfasts, but it was so worth it. ABSOLUTELY delicious. To top it off, I ordered the Mauna Loa Mocha, which is one of eight barista concoctions they are testing out. The MLM was seductively sweet and has my vote right from the jump. But if I had time to try out some of the others, I would go for either the Banana Bread Latte, or the Ube Cookie Crumble. Wonderful experience, wonderful service, loved the vibe of this place. read more

This is a tiny little place off the beaten path in Waikiki. It's well known with the locals but you can find tourists there as well. It only seats maybe 10 people, but they deliver to a local bar down the road (Suzi Wong's...equally off the beaten path). The food at Sunny's is excellent. The moco loco and biscuits and gravy are some of the best we have had. The servers are friendly and work their butts off, so tip them well. read more

Grandpa found this spot, and what a wonderful breakfast. They are a cute little breakfast, lunch, and drink shop (coffees, teas, etc. The order: Daddy: Sunny's (wagyu hamburger) Loco Moco with fried rice. What a delight, their gravy is on point and just how a like it. For most , they may say it's a tad or maybe too salty, but I love it haha. The fried rice had a nice garlic kick, the burger was a nice mid-well with a tad of pink like I want it, (Although had they not stated wagyu, I would have thought it was a normal burger), and a runny yolk egg to add some lusciousness for the gravy. Mommy: Caprese Sammie with a side of avocado. Mommy's always the healthy one :-). She loved it and the addition of pesto was a welcomed addition. Grandpa: Brisket Loco Moco with a side of Bacon. He enjoyed it but thought the smokiness over powered the meat just a bit. Son son: Veggie fried rice with a side of bacon and some of daddy's hamburger. He loved his bacon and breakfast. And anytime we can get veggies, is a great thing. The staff were all friendly and greeted/served with a smile. They have a three small tables inside, but a bigger covered seating area outside. The outdoor seating area was surprisingly very cool with a nice breeze coming through. Given it's in a small driveway surrounded by buildings, I didn't expect that. read more

My husband and I absolutely loved this breakfast spot during our trip to Hawaii; we liked it so much that we came back with his parents later during our trip, even though it was a bit of a walk from our hotel. Sunny's is clearly a local favorite. When it opened at 7 am, the line was already wrapped around the block. Thankfully, we beat the rush on our first visit and only waited about 15 minutes the second time. Don't let the line scare you off because it is absolutely worth the wait! The restaurant is super cute and very small, with only a few tables inside and out. The first time we snagged a spot indoors, but on our second visit, it was packed, so I grabbed an outdoor table while the rest of our group went in to order because otherwise we wouldn't have had anywhere to sit. Both times, I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy with Italian Sausage ($12), and it was honestly the best I've ever had. I couldn't stop raving about it. The gravy was rich and creamy, and the biscuits had the perfect texture. My husband got the Sunny's Omelet ($13) with bacon, cheese, peppers, and onions and loved it. It also came with a side of white rice. He also ordered a side of Spam each time! The ingredients are all fresh, and everything is made to order. In addition, as amazing as the food is, I still dream about their coffee. I will literally never forget it because it was so refreshing and like nothing I have ever had before. Both visits, I ordered the Haupia Macchiato ($8), which uses white chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, coconut syrup, and coconut milk. If there is one thing I learned in Hawaii, it's that coffee there is pretty expensive, but when it's as unforgettable as this one was at Sunny's, $8 is NOTHING! The service was always warm and friendly. After you order, the staff brings your food to you, whether you are sitting inside or outside, which we really appreciated. Overall, I'd LOVE to come back here and highly recommend! Honestly, it was probably my favorite restaurant we visited during all of our 8 days in Hawaii! read more

A slight trek from central Waikiki, this little patio cafe is worth it. They serve such a wide variety of breakfast stables and they do it well. It is pretty small and I wish it had more indoor seating especially on a hot day like when I went but there is a fair amount of covered outdoor bench seating and two very small outdoor tables. They leave the door open to the cafe and what fan they do have doesn't fully cover the tables inside so it's hard to escape the heat. The sunrise tea is very tart and the banana bread latte was pretty weak flavor wise (tasted nothing like banana bread) but the coffee itself was strong. My mom enjoyed her avocado toast although $11 is a little steep for 1 slice of toast. The brekkie burrito is stuuuffed to the brim with bacon, pico de gallo, tater tots, egg, bell peppers, and onions, and was an explosion of flavor. read more

We came in the morning and there was a constant line. The lady was taking our order was making the drinks as well. She was very quick and efficient! We ordered the ube and haupia latte which she said were the 2 most popular drinks. The haupia was delicious and flavorful but I would've liked a little more of the syrup as once it all mixed together it lost some of the haupia flavor but was still good. I like my coffees pretty sweet. The ube latte was a little more mild in flavor and not as sweet as the haupia but still yummy! Only a few tables for dining and tight space inside. But she so quick with our drinks we were in and out. read more

Ordered the: avocado toast which was really tasty with good flavor and nice piece of toast, Mahi Brekkie - nice fresh tasting piece of fish, blueberry muffin - wasn't your typical looking muffin but it was really good and my daughter really liked the blueberries and lastly the award winning, banana bread latte ordered at half sweet which I really enjoyed. Was really bummed that the restaurant had only been opened for 2 hours on a Sunday but the French toast was already sold out. This really limited our options for our kids. Food we had was good, servers were very nice, seating is very limited. read more

We discovered Sunny's Local Grind while on vacation in Waikiki, and we're so glad we did! It's an easy walk from the Hilton Hawaiian Village, making it the perfect spot for breakfast before heading out for the day. We ordered the loco moco and the brekkie burrito, and both were absolutely delicious. The loco moco was outstanding--the gravy was rich, flavorful, and they gave a generous amount, so every bite was perfect. The brekkie burrito was packed with fresh vegetables, lots of ham, and was incredibly fresh and satisfying. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and full of flavor. The friendly atmosphere and excellent food made this one of our favorite breakfast stops during our trip to Oahu. If you're staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village or anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and give Sunny's Local Grind a try. We can't wait to come back on our next visit to Hawaii! read more
