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

Low rating because they don't have a guest restroom for use!! The food was good. But they need a bathroom for their guests! When I asked for a restroom, they directed me to 2 businesses on either side of them. I mean if you're going to be serving food and drinks then you should definitely have a restroom that's specifically for your business. I mean what if a guest had an accident and needed a restroom ASAP? Then what? Probably won't be coming back. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Went early and sat at a table. I shared my space with others who were waiting for their to go orders. Why make others stand when I can share a table amd chat a bit. 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

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

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

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

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

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

This place stays very busy. There is alwasy a line. We wanted to check it out for a local dish that they serve called a loco moco. Although the line was long it moved at a steady pace. The staff was pleasant. There is no like "service" for the tables you order then you seat yourself (if there is room) but they do bring out your food if you find a seat b/c it's so small inside not everyone can wait in there. We both ordered the beef Loco Moco. It comes with the egg sunny up but I asked for it to be over med with yole still runny, only b/c when I saw someone else's the white part of the egg around the yoke looked undone. And they said they would try to accommodate that request. We sat outside in a patio area that they have. Now mind you this place in tiny. Only one area to sit inside that may sit like 4 sets of 2 ppl or a group of 4 and 2 couples. But if you're not there early that is gone or you have to wait. Outside is about the same maybe a tiny bit bigger. May seat a total of 10 couples. We did get a seat outside which was great and there were 3 of us. With enough room for about 4 more ppl at our table. The tables were picnic style that you would see at the park only one side was bench like. The food was really good it was my first time having it. Loco Moco is just rice with black beans and a meat and egg on top. Doesn't look like anything I would order, but my coworker said it is very good and it really was. It was not anything I ever thought to eat all together, but glad I tried it. The only think I didn't like is that there were 3 of us and we all ordered right behind each other, but my food came out so late. My coworker was almost done by time I got my food. The server stated it was b/c an online order came in, but I think that it unfair to the ppl who are physically there waiting on their food that they push the order to the side to fill the online order. There should be a separate service for online orders and not cut off the ppl who have ordered already and are actually waiting for their food. It should at least be taken after the last in person order was put through not cut in fro t of an order that has already be placed. That was my only gripe and the reason I took off one star So I do recommend you eat hear just go about 30mins before you want to eat b/c there may be a line and they close early since it is a breafast/brunch place. 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 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.

It was all fresh and delicious. Thank you. read more

Bright and sunny spot to grab breakfast. Outdoor table seating in the shade. Portion sizes were larger than anticipated. Had to order their brisket loco moco.
