Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Oahu

"It offers delectable dishes such as spicy Portuguese sausage, kalua pig sliders and build-your-own omelets. Here’s an interesting feature of this restaurant. Every menu item begins with the letter “e.” Examples on the menu include: Extreme Mess of Eggs, Elated Pancakes or Enchanting French Toast."

"One of the most popular hot potspots in Honolulu is Sweet Home Café. One of the best parts of the meal is the complimentary (and delicious) dessert of shave ice with tons of toppings."

"Hoku’s Restaurant at the Kahala Hotel is the epitome of luxury. The stylish waterfront restaurant inside the Kahala Hotel offers a delicious, elegant dinner menu. However, they’re known for their lavish Sunday brunch, which includes everything from rack of lamb to Alaskan king crab."

"Location: 324 Coral Street Suite 1A-104b, Honolulu, HI 96813, United States. Not gonna lie, the décor is a macramé loving millennial dream – succulents meet retro sun brollies topped off with hipster servers. Although service was a little slow (we received our food before our coffees, a pet peeve) we’ll let them off, as it gave us more time to absorb this real-life Pinterest board."

"ARVO is an Aussie cafe, as I'm sure you can tell by the name and one of the best places to eat in Honolulu!. It's my favorite place to grab coffee and breakfast because it is delicious and also beautiful. There's a lot of street art and murals in this area plus other shops and things to see so plan a bit of time to explore once you are done!"

"Inside the SALT at Our Kaka’aka marketplace, Arvo Cafe is a tiny, seasonal coffee shop that showcases local coffee and Australian-inspired light bites. Stop by before grabbing lunch or dinner in the SALT marketplace. Or, take your coffee to go and catch sunset down the road at Ala Moana Beach Park."

"Don’t sleep on this unassuming All Day Breakfast spot on the first floor of the Shoreliner Hotel in Waikiki. Heavenly Island Lifestyle makes the best organic, locally sourced breakfast around– and at a reasonable price, to boot!. (No guide books talk about this place, but my repeat experience and thousands of enthusiastic Yelp reviews do not lie.)"

"Heavenly Island Lifestyle is a health-conscious cafe that’s local first, organic whenever possible. This spot sources high-quality ingredients from across the islands resulting in super tasty food, especially the Flat Omelet. Their Morning Veggie dish is said to help with jet lag recovery."

"In the mall complex called Ward Village (previously in downtown Honolulu), this modern, sort of industrial art style eatery, where you may wait for a simple table, each with views of the kitchen, puts out scrumptious food. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. We ate here for breakfast and the flavors were amazing."

"Kids will have fun in this restaurant and will keep on eating their signature dish; Milk and cereal pancakes. The restaurant surely knows how to impress their youngest customers with complimentary cookies and toy chests. Another hot favorite dish is cider braised pork pasta."

"If you're staying in Honolulu, do yourself a favor and grab a meal at Scratch Kitchen. My husband and I got the deviled egg appetizer, the pork rib..."

"Because we live in Wahiawa, this is a great place to have breakfast or... I usually really like Koa's, but I am VERY disappointed with my breakf... Came here for brunch."

"Address: 719 Kamehameha Hwy a102, Pearl CityHours: 8AM-1:30PM Tuesday to Saturday, 9AM-1:30PM Sunday, Closed MondayPrice Range: $$MenuRecommendations: Ube or Nutella Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast, Kalua Pork Poutine Fries, or Korean Braised Short Rib Eggs Benedict."

"It’s hard to call this spot the second location of the wildly popular The Pig & The Lady in Chinatown since Piggy Smalls has its own vibe and dishes. And it serves brunch with innovative dishes like pandan waffle with flambé apple bananas topped with a fish sauce caramel and churro-style French toast. True to brunch, it serves savory lunch-y dishes, including stir-fried ramen noodles with garlic and smoked bacon and topped with a sunny egg, striploin cooked à la plancha with duck pâté, and a vegan pho with house-made noodles that’s become so popular The Pig & The Lady now serves it, too."

"Piggy Smalls, as the excellent pun entails, is all about good pork. Portions are huge and the flavors are generous and bountiful, reflective of the island’s fusion-immigrant culture. Here, you’ll enjoy Hawaiian takes on Pan-Asian classics like Mochiko Chicken and the table-mixed Burmese Salad, which is excellent."

"A post shared by Piggy Smalls (@piggysmallshawaii) on Jun 1, 2018 at 1:43pm PDT. Love doughnuts but also ice cream?. Well, now you can have the best of both worlds in one dish."

"If you’re looking for less upscale and more Hawaiian cool, Duke’s Waikiki might hit the spot. Duke’s has a gorgeous view of the bay and serves some of the most beloved food in town at a reasonable price. Seasonal fish, perfectly cooked steaks, and succulent prime ribs take center stage in a menu that packs a lot of spice."

"A couple of our favorite Waikiki lunch spots with great ocean views are Hula Grill, Duke’s Waikiki, and Tropics Bar and Grill for casual fare. For a bit more of an upscale lunch with an ocean view, we like Veranda at the Beachhouse and House without a Key."

"Stop in Kahuku, the next town, for shrimp at any one of its food trucks, before driving to Ehukai Beach Park, also known as the renowned surf spot Banzai Pipeline. Down the road, at Shark’s Cove, you’ll want to walk in its tidepools and snorkel its fairly shallow depths, before stopping at world-famous Waimea Bay. Choose a beach to lounge at for the rest of the day, before exploring Haleiwa Town and getting an early dinner at Haleiwa Beach House. Instead of ending your day on the North Shore here, consider driving back to the Polynesian Cultural Center for its evening show, Ha: Breath of Life, featuring over 100 Polynesian dancers—one of the best shows in Hawaii."

"Kailua Beach Park combines everything you are looking for in best beaches in Oahu into one spot. Located on the eastern or windward side of Oahu, Kailua Beach Park is situated within 35-acres and has a long 2.5-mile stretch of white sand which is dotted with several ironwood and coconut palm trees for shade. Kailua Beach Park is ideal for families and the water is usually calm enough for good swimming."

"Just up the road is another one of the most popular Instagram spots on all of Oahu; Kaiula Beach Park. Drive safely, as the road will take you up a scenic drive with views of the most inviting beach you’ve ever laid eyes on. Not becoming distracted by the siren call of Eden out your window will be one of the most difficult things you will have to do during your time on Oahu!"

"This is a great family beach with plenty of shaded areas that make great places to take a break from the fun. There are also picnic tables, lots of parking space, and even a cafe if you get thirsty or hungry. The sand here is absolutely fantastic in color- a perfect gold- and the deep blue waters compliment it perfectly."
