Breakfast at Kaka'ako Farmer's Market in Honolulu, Hawaii... Haawi Toast & Tea caught my eye because there was hardly any line. Across the way, another vendor had a super long line which looked like toture... LOL! I like Avocado Toast in general... and I like corn! So - when I saw Avocado Toast with Sweet Corn Salsa on the menu, I had to try it! I was hoping the salsa wouldn't be too spicy - and it was not! It added a small kick in the flavor! The grilled bread was thick enough to not sag, and it had a slightly smokey crunch! I also got the Iced Green Tea with lemon, honey, mint, ginger, and lime. It was delightfully refreshing in the heat and humidity! Check them out when you're in town! read more

Best place at the Kakaako Farmers market, my entire extended family knows about the infamous "mango toast" and whenever they come to visit this is one of the first stops! The owners are so kind and hustle so hard, and all the other toasts I've tried are delicious too (avocado, cranberry, pineapple). This is be one of the spots I will miss the most if we ever move off island :( Until then, this is where you'll catch me every Saturday morning! TIPS & TRICKS: * Never skip the mango toast, you're more than welcome to try anything else on their menu but trust me when I say your life will forever be changed with that first bite! read more

Haawi Toast and Tea is my favorite vendor at the farmers market, especially when they have mango toast. The couple working is super kind. There is no mango toast like it. The mascarpone cheese and perfectly buttered and toasted bread is unbeatable. They use the freshest and juiciest mangoes around. I love the food they've created and am so glad they're sharing it with the community. read more

A toast for the Holidays... Literally one of my favorite stops at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market is Hā'awi toast + tea, as they bougie up their toast with great various toppings that makes it so hard to decided though with the upcoming holiday I was thrilled to see their "Holiday Special" Be ready for a slight wait for just a few minutes as toast gets toasted...literally but it's so worth the wait as the toast is layered with Marascapone & Cream Cheese mix, Cranberry Relish and topped with a candied lemon...what a stunning presentation that's almost to cute to eat but what flavor that screams the holidays so delicate yet packs great flavor. They are located near the back end of the market and they do have some seating there provided by the market as well so you'll be brunch ready for the day. Thank you! read more

Ha'awi Toast & Tea is a family run business that pops up at the Saturday Kakaako Farmers Market. They are located on the makai (ocean) side of the market. Mother toasts the bread. Father puts the toast together. Daughter takes orders and expedites. I love their Mango Toast. Thick slice of bread griddled on a flat top, with a mixture of Mascarpone, cream cheese and lemon zest. Then comes the luscious mango (that they are somehow able to source for a good part of the year) garnished with a sprig of mint and an edible flower. When they don't have mango available, it switches over to Pineapple Toast. The first time I tried the Pineapple Toast I mused on IG that it would be awesome with li hing powder on top. The following week, they brought some powder. Yup. Killer combo! It's not available on the regular menu, you need to ask for da powder. I also order their iced tea. The father in this team was the Wine Director for Alan Wongs restaurant and he has created an iced tea with complex flavors that is both refreshing and flavorful. Give it a try! I also like to order their corn salsa take out container and their cheesy croutons to take home. read more

Mango toast... get the mango toast. It's the best item on their menu. The bread for the mango toast is lightly toasted on the grill with butter, it has a layer of mascarpone cheese and is topped with chunks of local mangoes. They have a vendor that supplies them with mangoes year-round so the mangoes on the toast are always sweet and juicy. The kalua pork toast was also good, but I wish it had a little more smoke flavor. They also make a really good iced green tea so get one of those to go with your toast. The price for the toast ranges between $6-$7. It is pricey for that small portion, but it is very good and it's worth it. I recommend going to the Kakaako Farmer Market early on Saturday morning if you want their mango toast. The wait time to order is short, 5 minutes or less, but the time to prepare your food is about 20 minutes. Sometimes it can take up to 30 minutes depending on how long the line is. I use those 20 minutes to check out the other vendors nearby. They are located in the back of the market near Ahui Street across from Izu's Mochi. read more

I was prepared to love this spot but i wasn't prepared to be knocked unconscious by how absolutely delicious it was! I got the Mango Toast ($7) which was super fresh and sweet, and i loved that the mascarpone cream cheese was light & creamy but also a little tart from the lemon. The Eggplant TOast ($6) BLEW ME AWAY. The eggplant was so soft and melted in my mouth, and the caramelized onions, garlic and parmesan cheese with the tomato sauce is literally the biggest umami bomb in your mouth that will leave you speechless. The toast has a nice chew to it and almost had a tartness to it that paired perfectly with the sweet and savory versions! the toasts are pretty small (like the size of my hand) but PACKED with so much flavor. I am definitely making that spot a regular at my Kaka'ako Farmers Market route now! read more

...but wait, how can toast be THIS GOOD?!?!? Tbh I've avoided checking out this spot for the longest time because I thought I could make decorative toasts at home. But no- these are not JUST decorative toasts. They're the MOST FREAKING DELICIOUS AND GORGEOUS TOASTS I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE. My friend and I decided to get one savory and one sweet toast. The savory one we opted for was the eggplant toast ($6), which was a pleasant mix of eggplant, onions, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian tomato sauce. It was so flavorful. All of the flavors were perfectly balanced too :') the sweet one we opted for was the mango toast ($7), which was topped with lemon-infused sweet mascarpone, cream cheese, and fresh mango cubes. This was divine! Both toasts were created on a base of buttered and perfectly toasted bread from La Tour Bakery. Sadly, it'll be a while before I get to indulge in these again, so I'm actively finding a way to replicate these and put my own spin on them. Stay posted for the results ;) read more

SUPER friendly staff, amazing mango toast, a little bit of a wait. Expect to wait 15-20 minutes for your toast but it does NOT disappoint. My friends drive from across the island for this every Saturday and then go right back home. Today I found out why! Super super delicious- 10/10 recommend read more

Haawi Toast & Tea - Mango toast - Food Stands Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This Saturday, Ha'awi had a pop-up tent on the boat harbor side at the Kaka'ako farmers market. This small business is owned and operated by a wonderful local family, and they provided excellent service. I got the Kalua Pork Toast, which was interesting mostly because I had never had one before, but I cherished every bite of it! The combo of bread and meat was excellent. The bread was crunchy and buttery, while the meat was flavorful and very juicy. I would 10/10 recommend and will most definitely be returning. My only mistake was not ordering more food, ahhhhh! read more

Good flavor. Not too strong of a flavor. You are still able to taste the flavor of the toast itself. Couple things to consider - price is kind of steep for a piece of toast with eggplant - the eggplant did still have that bitter flavor that comes out when you don't soak it long enough. Wasn't strong enough to detract from the overall flavor but it was a still there. Would I go back... Probably not. But I am sure there are people willing to pay that price for eggplant on toast. read more

Haawi Toast & Tea - Eggplant with onion Toast - Food Stands Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I originally stopped by for tea at the Kaka'Ako farmers market, but had to try the toast because it smelled great. The eggplant toast was excellent! Similar to stewed eggplant but still had a good bite to it and lots of flavor (maybe a tomato/curry base?). The bread was perfectly buttered, crisped outside, fluffy inside (like milk-toast). It also paired very well with the refreshing ginger-peach-mint-honey iced tea. This could easily be a successful food truck and I hope to try this again when on my next visit to Oahu! read more

Nice food stall at the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market. The food does take a while to come out, but it's worth it. The Avocado Toast was delicious but a bit messy. They put a nice amount of avocado and corn salsa on it. The Mango Toast is also highly recommended. read more

I discovered this place while frequenting the farmers market at Kakaako. I have zero self control when it comes to avocado toast, so when I walked by their stall I knew I had to try it. One bite, and I knew I'll be coming back for more. The toast has a soft crispy buttery texture and the avocados tasted fresh and creamy. The corn on top added a nice, subtle sweet crunchy touch. You can find them at Kakaako Farmers Market every Saturday morning, and the toast was $5. They also serve different types of toast other than avocado. They have tea too, which I will make sure to try next time. read more

Awesome addition to the HMSA Farmer's Market every Friday! The tea is so refreshing and I have the hardest time choosing between their three toast options (I've tried them and love them all). The toast is grilled to buttery perfection with the right amount of crispiness and the toppings really compliment the toast. The owners are super friendly and price their items fairly. Definitely give them a try! read more

7$ for an avocado toast with corn and 4$ for an iced tea. The toast was excellent, great avocado and perfectly sweet corn. The iced tea was too sweet, though it was interestingly flavored read more
