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.

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!

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.

Açaí bowl, iced pineapple coffee, & I'm just here for the burrito
Frankie A.

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

Bacon, Avo & Eggs
Bomb D.

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.

Papaya Bowl

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!

Nalu Health Bar & Café is such a solid spot, especially if you're looking for something fresh,…read morequick, and actually satisfying. Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Decent food but poor service…read more Nalu Health Bar & cafe is located in the south shore market at Ward on the ground floor. Seating is limited so it may be difficult to find seating especially during high traffic meal times. May have better luck finding seating outside. I've been here multiple times for lunch and had multiple different items. The acai bowl are good. I like getting the Nalu salad which is always a decent serving and tastes fresh. The sandwiches are also pretty tasty. My main issue is the service. I'm not sure if part of their training is to ignore the customer as much as possible because that has been my experience on multiple occasions. The most recent visit, I had ordered online and was going to pick up m food for takeout. There were three workers at the front just talking. I walked to the counter and was ignored. I could see where the orders are placed and didn't see anything there so figured my order wasn't ready yet. I stood on the side for at least 5 minutes without any greeting or acknowledgement. Not a single person made eye contact with me. When I saw an order placed on the back counter one of them grabbed it and placed it on the takeout counter without calling out the name and went back to chatting. I had to actively try to get their attention at which point I was looked at like I was bothering them. Asked if my order was ready and was handed it without any further interaction. I don't expect happy go lucky people and conversation but at least basic customer service.

My bf and I got the reusable jars so we could come back for $7 refills. This smoothie is such a good deal, idk if you can find fresh fruit smoothies for this price anywhere else on the island. My first time here I got the strawberry lychee, which was super good!! If you want a less sweet option the passion fruit mango has more of a tang/tartness. We got lucky the first time we came (on a Sunday morning), as there was no line. The second time we came there was a wait of about 10 people in front of us!! I'm told that's pretty normal for this shop. While waiting in line the sweet owner handed out samples of the strawberry blueberry smoothie--also amazing and a combination I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own. The strawberry guava and strawberry banana smoothies are also as you might guess SO good. 10/10 I will be coming back with my reusable jar soon!!

The only thing was that there was so little of the base, the açaí part. Usually you don't get enough toppings but this one had so little of the actual açaí part.

Review for the 1-day Reset Cleanse. This appears to be new…read moreand different from the previous 6-juice only 1-day cleanses they offered before. This one adds little shots and tonics and probiotics and all the things, AND it includes 2 protein smoothies which give you 55gm of protein/day so you really get everything and feel full. The first time they put stickers on all my bottles so I knew which one to do first/second/etc, but yesterday I didn't get instructions and they weren't labeled, which sucked. I don't remember which one goes with what. Make sure you take a picture so you know what order to drink them because it absolutely makes a difference. I never really loved any of their "cleanses" before, to me it was more of a gimmick and I was always hungry. BUT this new one they are marketing as a 1-day reset provides comprehensive explosive results fairly quickly so make sure you stay home. I love it. This would be good to do the day before the colonoscopy prep so you don't have to drink so much of that bowel prep solution.

We ordered a latte, an açai bowl, and a smoothie. I was bummed that my smoothie could not be customized. The base was premade so I was not able to make any adjustments to it. Our items were ready in a reasonable amount of time. The portion size was a little smaller than we expected. As for taste, the açai bowl was good. The smoothie was a little bland, but at the same time, had a tad too much honey. Service was wonderful. We would visit again.

Located on the second level of Nordstrom, Ebar has been around for over nine years (according to First To Review). Wow. It's a cozy, busy place! The two cashiers were efficient and pleasant! There were a few small tables inside and a bunch outside... but it's too warm for me on an August afternoon to go outside, and inside was packed... so, I took my Avocado Toast and Coconut Lime Cooler to my car. Haha! Service was friendly and efficient! After I ordered the Avocado Toast, she asked if I wanted a drink. I should have taken her hint. I went back in line for the Coconut Lime Cooler. LOL! The avocado toast was great! I could taste a touch of garlic and a bit tartness from balsamic vinegar? The Coconut Lime Cooler was interesting. It was like a soda without sugar. It was carbonated water with coconut cream on the top and some lime syrup? It wasn't sweet like a soda pop... which is a good thing! Originally, I wanted to get the Açai Sorbetto bowl, but I caught the fragrance of toast... and got the Avocado Toast. So - I should return for the Sorbetto bowl... and a plain croissant... because the customer in front of me ordered the croissant... and it sounded and smelled good!
