"Their new space is much bigger than before, with indoor and outdoor seating. Before hitting the beach, get some pre-swim energy with an acai bowl, avocado toast, or a fresh fruit smoothie, like the Alligator, made with bananas, kale, almond butter, spirulina, honey, and coconut milk. Or stop by for a mid- or post-beach bite and replenish with tasty options like a Portobello sandwich, a homemade falafel sandwich, or a veggie burger."
"The Beet Box is a small vegetarian restaurant with two locations, both on O‘ahu. From acai bowls and burritos to burgers and smoothies, they have a variety of options to choose from. They even have a kids menu!"
"Peace Cafe is a small vegan restaurant near the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. They offer a variety of options from a vegan Poke Bowl, to BBQ Tempeh Plate and Tofu Scramble. We went with the Heart and Seoul with TVP & Tofu and the Curry Katsu Plate, both of which were delicious!"
"One of the godfathers of coffee on the islands, this coffee company has been roasting high-quality local coffee since 1992, when Honolulu’s coffee scene was nearly non-existent. What began as a small kiosk in Downtown Honolulu has expanded to include stores on Hawaii Island, Maui, Guam, Japan, and China, all serving the same ripe coffee cherries hand-plucked from its Kona coffee farm. Last year, the company opened the Honolulu Coffee Experience Center, which combines an educational coffee museum with a piazza-style café."
"Their Waikiki Beach location, “Moana Surfrider” is based in a hotel serving Hawaiian- grown coffee, breakfast pastries, and sweet treats.

Course menus at Tokyo-based Han no Daidokoro’s new outpost, in the same building as Isbantul Hawaiʻi and Merriman’s Honolulu in Kakaʻako, feature different breeds and cuts of unctuous, well-marbled A5 wagyu beef. The high-profile restaurant endured months of pandemic-related delays; word is the wait was well worth it."
"The name’s hard to remember; the A5 wagyu Korean yakiniku focus isn’t. This glossy third outpost of a restaurant from Shibuya, Tokyo and Kawasaki, Japan soft-opened across from Whole Foods Kaka‘ako in mid-January. 1108 Auahi St., @hannodaidokoro_kakaako"
