    Sunshine and Pineapple is located in a small food truck park within steps of many hotels. There is plenty of outdoor seating. We went there for breakfast twice on our most recent trip because it was so good. Great, fresh options!

    My hubby and I have been wanting to try this place and were excited to have time this morning. It's a very bright, happy environment with lots of cute pineapple decorations. It was like walking into sunshine! You can eat in or take out. I love that they have Yelp waitlist available. We were politely greeted and promptly seated. Service was terrific! As the name of the restaurant , pineapple is incorporated into their selections. Hubby had the Hawaiian Trio and a cup of coffee and I enjoyed the açaí bowl with a Thai tea lemonade. We enjoyed it all. The cherry on top of it all was we were pleasantly surprised when we were presented with two slices of pineapple with two gummy pineapples for dessert. The person that served us we believe is the owner and he chatted with us to get to know us. He included a, a discount, which was unexpected. Needless to say, we were Wowed! Parking is available in the back of the building, but extremely limited. Although we were the second table in the restaurant this morning, there was no designated parking for the restaurant. But I was not lost. There was metered parking on the street that was available. Overall, 4-stars because of the parking but we will be back again.

    Amazing service and delicious food here at hot and new Sunshine & Pineapple! The business opened in February 2025. Met with fellow Yelp Elite All Stars Nadine C. And Irene M. What a wonderful place to talk story. Thank you for everything you both do! Mint answered many of the questions I had about the place. We later met the owner Joseph. He was great recommending menu options for us. I decided on the Granola Bowl, it comes with granola, yogurt, seasonal fruit, and topped with honey and fresh mint! See the gorgeous pictures. It was a 100% delicious combination! Very refreshing and filling as well. You can add more honey to your taste. It has more than enough flavor and taste as served! Sunshine & Pineapple is easy to find on Kapahulu Avenue. There is a parking lot in the back of the building and the sign says to register your license plate with the business. I checked with Mint and I was told that I didn't need to provide her with my license plate number, as long as I was parked in the business's marked stall. The interior is clean and bright. Very welcoming staff and excellent service here. I met a sweet couple having breakfast here as well. They sell a few items for purchase such as cups, Thai crispy rolls, and spicy biscuit sticks. Please support this hot & new business.

    Looking for a brunch spot that's bursting with aloha and pineapple in every bite? Look no further than Sunshine & Pineapple -- a cozy, family-owned gem tucked away in Kapahulu, Honolulu. From the moment you walk into the bright yellow building, you're welcomed with warm hospitality and fast, friendly service. It's the kind of spot where locals bring their families, and visitors come back twice in one trip. We tried a lineup of local-style hits, including: A hearty Loco Moco with savory gravy and perfectly cooked eggs Sweet & smoky pineapple sausage that's packed with island flavor Flavorful Thai pineapple chicken curry -- tropical, creamy, and comforting And a secret menu favorite: the waffle croffle taco -- crispy, chewy, and loaded with goodness With pineapple showing up in fun, unexpected ways across the menu -- from fried rice to iced coffee -- every bite feels like a brunch-time vacation. Plus, the tropical-themed interior is perfect for snapping those Instagram-worthy foodie photos Whether you're a local brunch lover or just visiting Oʻahu, Sunshine & Pineapple is a must-try brunch destination that combines creative island flavors with good vibes and heart.

    Look for the reserved parking spaces behind the building

    Breakfast in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... You can't miss this bright yellow storefront! Located between First Hawaiian Bank and Hawaii Cat Cafe, Sunshine & Pineapple is a Hot New Business that's Instagram-worthy! Besides the cute, bright decor, the food has beautiful presentation! I got the Bacon, Avocado, and Eggs on Sourdough bread. It was fresh and delicious! The bonus was the complimentary slices of sweet pineapple and a pineapple gummy candy! Service was very welcoming, attentive, and friendly! When I asked about the December 2025 end date, the server said that it depends on how well they do. So... give them a try! They have free parking behind the building, so... go check 'em out! #supportSmallBusiness

    Happy International Pineapple Day... Here's the place that wears the crown proudly is Sunshine & Pineapple found on Kapahulu and is the place I had to go on this sweet and bright day since it does open bright and early at 7am and with free parking in the back of the building it was an easy morning stop. What I really came for is their Pineapple Butterfly Tea and what a sweet combination that I really love and it works not just beautifully as the sunshine bright yellow pineapple just right over the naturally purple glow that the butterfly tea give this drink a stunning look and yes it was refreshingly perfect, a bit sweet but heavenly to start my day. Before hand as I was glancing at the menu a gentleman who took my order suggested the Pineapple Fried Rice omg yes! It was a short wait as it was made to order so it was nice and hot filled with bits of Portuguese sausage, bits of pineapple, corn and peas this unique twist on the beloved local fave was so yummy and it was topped with scrambled egg that I must say was done to perfection and not to mention it came with a couple of sourdough bread halves with pineapple jam of course just wished it was toasted that would've made it even better but in all this spot sure does offer wonderful brunch items and was so happy to have this crowning breakfast. Thank you!

    Limited parking. Couple more stalls to the right not in photo

    Pineapple themed place that uses local Dole pineapples! Perfect for tourists who want pretty Hawai'i food pics honestly didn't know this place existed Parking: limited parking in the back cause they share with the cat cafe. Otherwise, there's parking in the neighboring areas or metered street parking Food: BEAUTIFUL!!! The toppings aren't just thrown on. They've clearly been carefully placed so your food is clearly cared for! I LOVE how each dish we ordered came with a serving of fruits or vegetable. I've worked at a diner before and for these same prices all you'd get is starch, egg and meat which i don't feel is a very balanced meal. If im eating bacon I'd like to have fruit/vegetable to offset my guilt. Price: standard breakfast prices especially in Waikiki. But idk I do feel like the side of fruit that comes with it is already a big plus. honestly would rather come here over liliha bakery cause you GET VEGETABLES AND FRUIT with your order. Overall I'd come back! I hope they do well.

    Love how this place is called Sunshine & Pineapple, as this place is beaming with such sunny disposition! Pineapple's one of my favorite fruits, so it was cool to see them incorporate it in their iced coffee (a great pick-me-up btw!)! The service was very inviting & welcoming, & also shared they named some of the dishes, such as I'm just here for the burrito (actual name, which I ordered!). The food came out quick & hot, & the burrito was a massive one, but equally really good! Also had an açaí bowl, which was very tasty & healthy! The restaurant's decked in bright yellow to go with the sunshine & pineapple theme & I love how they played subtle bossa nova/jazz type of music, providing that extra touch of vacation to your experience. So the next time you're in the Waikiki area I highly recommend this place as the next hidden gem to discover!

    I ordered the bacon,egg and avocado breakfast....this was done well. The eggs were scrambled but not dry with cheese i think, mixed in. The bacon was crispy and nice and the salad, needed more dressing,but nice with the roasted grape tomatoes.the crofell was very good fresh, a bit hard when cold. I also ordered the Thai iced coffee......very good cool and refreshing.

    5/5 Just had a seriously delicious morning at Sunshine & Pineapple in Honolulu -- it absolutely delivered on vibe and flavor. I tried the poke breakfast, pork belly pineapple ("borkbelly pineapple"? gotta try saying that three times fast!), bacon avocado & eggs, fruit croffle, and a pineapple butterfly pea tea drink. Here's the breakdown: The poke breakfast was fresh and vibrant -- clean cubes of seasoned ahi over rice (or whatever base they used) with crisp veggies and just the right amount of punch. The pork belly pineapple was genius -- succulent, fatty pork belly paired with that sweet tropical pineapple note made it feel like brunch & dessert rolled into one. The bacon avocado & eggs hit all the comfort‑food checkpoints: smoky bacon, creamy avocado, perfectly cooked eggs, and good textures all around. The fruit croffle (croissant + waffle mashup) was light, flaky, and loaded with fresh fruit -- a sweet, satisfying counterpoint to the savory dishes. And the pineapple butterfly pea tea drink? So pretty (that blue hue is magical) and refreshing. It cleansed the palate in the best way. Service was warm and attentive. The space feels happy and bright -- exactly the kind of spot you want for casual brunch in Honolulu. If you're in town and craving brunch with a tropical twist, Sunshine & Pineapple should absolutely be on your list.

    Birthday treat!

    Great food! Fantastic service! Relaxing music! Lots of parking! On Kapahulu so you don't have to go INTO Waikiki

    Why 5 stars? Why rated so high? Reason being - This restaurant operates one table at a time. Went on a regular Saturday morning. 1 waiter, 1 busser, 1 cook. The waiter did wonderfully by setting the tone, 1 customer at a time. Tone = Quiet, Calm, Patient You know when the food is coming because each table gets served in the order they arrived. The establishment deserves 5 stars because of the way it operates and the ambience set by the small staff. It didn't feel like we were in a bustling restaurant with 5 orders coming in and food being whipped out. It felt like how Hawaii should be, slow, steady, aloha.

    So.good. Needed to get away from hotel and hotel area food. We made a reservation but didn't need it. Service was great. Laid back, very Hawaiian vibe. Food was so fresh and made to order. We had the avocado and eggs with sourdough and croffle (croissant waffle). Papaya bowl for fruit to share. Thai iced tea was also delicious. Clean plate club!

    It WAS poke breakfast and pineapple fried rice

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

    I'm here a lot for work for the past few years but have been coming to the islands for many years…read more I've been a true loyalist to Island Vintage for at least 11yrs at this location. Over the years I've noticed the staff has become so much nicer and welcoming which is what I think of when I think of the Aloha spirit. Today I encountered a simple smile from the barista when I asked for extra half and half. She was very kind and sweet and sometimes that's all it takes. Keep in mind they are extremely busy with a line outside so to still offer good customer service in the middle of all that is gold. I always put my order in through the toast app and pick up to go. By the time my drink is ready my açaí bowl is melted. Today I decided to bring it up to the staff and encountered my lovely Lucille. She took my açaí bowl and put it in her freezer and gave me direction to put a note on my order to not prep the açaí bowl till I get there. That was very helpful! I'm happy not to have açaí soup anymore! Haha! But the best thing about it, she did it with a smile and it was genuine. You know when you just feel someone has a good soul..yeah, I felt that. Her demeanor was no different than how a family member would treat you. When she handed my açaí bowl back, she placed a napkin underneath it so the warmth of my hand wouldn't melt the bowl further...and the cherry on top was that I literally had the absolute BEST açaí bowl I've ever had made by Lucille. No joke! Sometimes there is too much granola, or too little fruit, but she made it with the perfect balance with each ingredient. She spoiled me and now I always want my açaí bowls to be made by Lucille! Lmao. I've been going through some tough times and I hope she knows (along with the taller young barista who offered me the half and half) that they both made my day a little brighter. See you in a couple days when I'm back! lol I swear I spend all my money every month at Island Vintage! The best of the best! I wish I took a photo of her beautiful creation but I got it down way too quick! :( Order the açaí bowl with Haupia cream and the Mona Kea iced coffee with macadamia nut, salted caramel and lava salt. You won't regret it! And you won't have to wait in line if you order from the toast local app if getting it to go! You're welcome:)
