    Lots of pineapple cream inside
    Mayumi C.

    I went to their malasada pop-up at the Kakaako Farmers Market. They make each malasada to order, so it's crunchy on the outside and mochi-like texture on the inside. You should definitely try it -- you don't want to miss this! It goes perfectly with coffee or hot tea. Enjoy!

    Been back a few times and I really love this place. Street parking easy to find in the AM; a few stalls in the back. The breakfast was fresh: The service was great! Love the malasadas! Fun ambiance!

    First timer. Parking in back lot but limited to 3 and 1 handicap. Food was okay; French toast average and runny yogurt. Food more limited to sweets for breakfast and 4-5 lunch plates for afternoon. Noise level wasn't too bad as I was able to do some work but they were playing interesting western music which was kinda different for the atmosphere, felt like I was at a country bar. I wouldn't come here if I am trying to get a big bkfast for my $. Customers more touristy as it's near Waikīkī.

    Aloha Cafe Pineapple is a wonderful place for people who loves shrimp, coffee, and meat! This restaurant deserves 4 stars, next time it could be 5 stars if some tables would be cleaned faster. Overall, this restaurant is highly recommended. The Garlic Shrimp is very fragrant and flavorful. Also, for shrimp lovers got to try this number one meal. Secondly, the Locomoco is amazing. The sauce goes with the beef patty and the rice. Plus, the salad was very delicious. It was crunchy too. Lastly, the coffee was sweet, just right for the people who enjoy coffee. In conclusion, this restaurant takes the number one position.

    My fave local spot over by diamond head. Small, cozy, great food for a good price. The French toast slaps every single time here. The donuts are also fresh and soft. Really can't beat the price for the quality and portion sizing. Parking out back is also convenient. Staff are friendly enough when taking your order. It's always a breakfast fave for us when coming to Oahu.

    After making that climb up Diamond Head, stop over at Aloha Cafe (just a couple of blocks away) for a well deserved breakfast or smoothie. Great reviews on Yelp drew me to the little cafe. I was pleased that they had a small parking area behind the building. The cafe is cute, with tables inside and out. There is a window outside to order masaladas or smoothies. Inside, they offer breakfast and lunch options and all coffees. I ordered the special Monsarrat Breakfast, which has to be the best deal on the island. The breakfast is only $6.80 (9/24) with additional purchase of a drink. The Monsarrat comes with 2 eggs, 2 thick-cut slices of bacon, 2 slices of toast, side salad, and 2 slices of fresh pineapple! The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly with runny yokes. The salad and pineapple refreshing. The Mango Passion Smoothie was delicious, refreshing, tart and creamy. The smoothies was served with a big slice of pineapple. At $6 (9/24), the smoothies are a bargain Service is friendly. Clerk, Emiko, was happy to change my drink order after she'd already rung it up. There is a restroom! Handicapped parking with a ramp is also available. I'll be back for sure.

    Have you seen this cute little cafe by Diamond Head? Well, what are you waiting, buckle up and visit them in the morning for breakfast ;) Or stop by after a a hike, walk or a good run, and have a brunch. Aloha Cafe Pineapple provides a warm and relaxing atmosphere that welcomes both locals and tourists. The staff are so friendly, and it's a really cute little cafe. I got the Monsarrat plate with toast, 2 slices of crispy bacon, 2 eggs, and side green salad with dressing. The dressing is good. I forgot to ask what it was. I guess I'll just have to make another visit to their cafe. I also ordered the chocolate banana French toast. This is fluffy, perfectly seasoned and really delicious! It was a perfect together since I had the salt from the crispy bacon then ended on a a sweet note. I tried their caramel latte. This, I'll still give the 5 stars but this drink didn't have the coffee taste and barely a caramel flavor. I'm not sure what it was but I didn't have the heart to have them redo it. Maybe I should have since it ended in the trash. *sadly* I'll still come back ;) I'm positive that the caramel latte was made incorrectly and unintentionally.

    my first time here at this cute diamond head cafe, love the mango passion smoothie and the fresh homemade custard malasada ... it's cool and breezy inside with hip music

    Laura W.

    Great malasada, had the honey whip along with a delicious cold brew; perfect stop after diamond head hike! Ate my malasada too fast to take a pic

    Alexis H.

    Super cute and nice place! Love the vibes in here. Staff was super friendly but the food did take a little longer than what we thought it would.

    French Toast
    Desiree R.

    I had a great experience here at aloha cafe pineapple. I ordered the french toast and I liked it but it was slightly undercooked and a tiny bit gooey on the inside but I understand many people like it that way! Either way I still finished my food. Their smoothies are very good and refreshing you can make no mistake when choosing a flavor because they will all be good. I wouldn't say this is a must have place but it's a good option if you don't want to eat directly on the waikiki strip. If you are driving make note that parking is very small and limited. Behind the restaurant there is only three spots and it can get tight so I would recommend finding some street parking.

    Aloha Cafe Pineapple is located on Monsarrat Ave (next to Coffee Bean). They have a small parking area in the back with one handicap and two regular stalls. They offer dine-in and take out. I tried looking up their menu online so I could call it in and not have to wait. Found a menu on their IG stories. Items were super hard to read (small font). Suggestion: Post the menu in sections so text is legible. :) I then tried looking up menu on Yelp but got confused because they have daily or weekly special items. So I ended up calling them and had to get the menu read over the phone. Lesson learned: They have a set menu (see attached photos) and a daily special. You will need to call them to get the daily special (and find out if it is sold out). It would be useful if they posted their specials on their IG (which seems semi active). I got the Grilled Chicken Plate. Chicken was nicely grilled and cooked perfectly. Salad was nice and I really enjoyed the mac salad. The mac salad was light on mayo, which I liked. Alas and Alack, the rice was mushy and overcooked, which is always a shock in Hawaii. I mean, rice is life here! I also tried their Malasada cos I was curious. The malasada are made in advance (today was 8 am), so not fresh made. Not bad for pre-cooked go to Leonard's or Pipeline for piping hot ones. Strawberry Peach Soda was lovely. Would definitely get it again. Service was excellent.

    This is hidden gem I came across. Needed to get lunch and loved trying this place. Can't wait to go back. It was a good sized portion with an abundance of flavor.

I was staying in Waikiki and Kona Coffee Purveyors was just a short walk away in the International Marketplace shopping center. As I came up to the shopping center shortly after 7am, I noticed a long line, and thought to myself, this couldn't possibly be for Kona Coffee Purveyors, right?? But unfortunately for me, it was. I didn't see how long the line extended, but I knew I didn't have time to wait, so I ended up getting coffee elsewhere. A few hours later, around 11:30am, I was back in the Waikiki area and happened to be walking past Kona Coffee Purveyors. I saw there were maybe a handful of people in line, so I decided to drop in. I ended up getting a latte, black sesame kouign amann, and pandan coconut tapioca pudding. My favorite was the pandan coconut tapioca pudding which was delightfully light and not too sweet dessert. Black sesame kouign amann: A twist on the classic kouign amann. A beautiful blend of crunchy and soft. The black sesame filling adds a nice flavor. Pandan coconut tapioca pudding: Pandan pudding, coconut tapioca, topped with coconut macaroon. This seems to be a seasonal/limited item. Their desserts are from b patisserie, and they all looked soo enticing and pretty! It was a nice place to sit and leisurely enjoy coffee and pastries. I would say this place is not worth it right when they open, only because the line is soo long and it's very hectic with people fighting for seating and getting their orders in. I would recommend going later in the morning or in the afternoon to avoid the morning craze.

Banana chocolate croissant: 5/5. Very good. Lilikoi pastry: 3/5. Tasted good. But was not wowed. Pistachio pastry: 5/5. Loved the pistachio cream and the pastry was tasty.
