We stumbled across Sunshine & Pineapple and ended up going back three days in a row! The food quality is incredible, and the presentation is just as good. We tried the breakfast buns, avocado toast (they are so generous with the avocado), the pancake breakfast, and the papaya bowl, all 10/10. Everything tastes fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. They also have a great selection of smoothies and unique drinks that we didn't get to try, but will definitely be trying next time. If you're looking for a cute breakfast spot in Waikiki with amazing food and fresh ingredients, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Update: As the owner was so kind to reach out and offer exceptional customer service, I've updated this review from 3 to 4 stars. It says a lot about a business that follows up to offer opportunities for improved experiences. Again, would visit during a future stay in the area to try more of what they have on the menu! --- Original review: My family and I stopped by around mid-late morning for breakfast. The outdoor seating area is nice, and we were fortunate to get a spot under the shaded tables. We got a Loco Moco to share (mostly to satisfy our toddler's rice craving!). Gravy was great, patty was a little overcooked - but fine, and generally it was a solid dish. Unfortunately, we had to wait 40+ minutes for our order. We might have caught them on a rough day, so overall, would still recommend giving them a try if you have the time and can plan accordingly. I would go back to try other dishes, but perhaps not with a fussy, hungry toddler next time! read more

Walking into sunshine on the walls and a welcoming staff made me happy! Coming from Colorado, my goal is to eat fish for as many meals as possible while visiting Hawai'i. I ordered the spicy poke bowl and it did not disappoint! Fresh and fabulous it was a celebration of the ocean in my mouth! My husband couldn't resist the pineapple fried rice and who could blame him when you eat at a place called sunshine and pineapple?!! It's a happy groove with yellow walls and a quiet space inside with staff who talks to you and offers suggestions. Like I had my first Croffle ( croissant and waffle) and I would def order it again. Thanks for a great meal! read more

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. read more

A short walk away from the hotels located on the Waikiki strip. Support local and enjoy a quiet meal away from the crowds. Easy ordering via phone or kiosk and the food was prepared quickly. The loco moco is a large portion and I'd say good for two people. read more

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. read more

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!

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!

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! read more

Food truck place. Good for breakfast with outside seating. We ordered three breakfast plates, for one of them, they forgot to include the grilled Pineapple. Other than that, everything is pretty good, the pineapple sausage is delicious. The service is fast and the price is fair (in Hawaii:) read more

Great breakfast with lots of options. Smoothies and croffles were uniquely delicious!

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. read more

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! read more

Ambiance A calm, underrated breakfast spot that deserves more attention. The space feels relaxed, and the service was genuinely friendly. Food: Aloha #2 (around $19) The croffle was airy and lightly sweet, avoiding the dense texture that makes traditional waffles less appealing. A clear highlight. Grilled pineapple was deeply ripe and sweet, offering a bright contrast. The salad greens were crisp and fresh, paired with fried onions, strawberry slices, and carefully notched radish--an unexpected but elegant touch. The pineapple-based dressing was light and suited the morning setting. A small piece of sun-dried tomato added depth, and the egg, while slightly runny, fit in well overall. The Portuguese sausage was savory and flavorful, adding substance to the plate. The bacon, though seemingly standard, turned out well. The pieces were flat and even, likely oven-cooked, with no excess grease and a crisp finish that felt deliberate and clean. Extras The meal ended with a slice of pineapple and a pineapple gummy--a playful and cohesive final touch. Overall Aloha #2 balances visual detail, fresh components, and thoughtful preparation. From the notched radish to the crisp bacon and ripe pineapple, everything felt intentional. The combination of clean textures and friendly service makes this a standout breakfast option. It's shockingly highly rated and I don't think I've ever been to a place with this high ratings, but it deserves it. He gave me a military discount too after hearing about my background! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Walkable distance in Waikiki and quick service. Outdoor seating, so be wary if it's hot outside. Not all tables have coverage. We got the açaí bowl which was surprisingly good, and the eggs, avocado, and toast combo. Good food, nothing too special with the price point being so high. Not sure if I would go back unless it was for convenience, but it's a handy little spot for a quick decent breakfast. read more

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. read more

Literally ate everything in two minutes before I had the thought to take a picture but everything was amazing! I had the poke breakfast and my wife got the pineapple rice. Both dishes were incredible and the service was polite and welcoming. The spot has parking in the back which could be hard to find. We passed the spot and pulled into the gas station next door which is where we saw the parking. The interior has lots of unique pineapple decorations with a Thai influence. Simple and unique. We stumbled across this place by accident and if you're lucky enough to see this, do yourself a favor and give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

We got the fresh fruit pancakes and the moco loco. The pancakes were great. The moco loco was great too. Food came out quick.

I planned a lunch for my mom's birthday, and took a chance on this restaurant which none of us had eaten at before. We had an age range of 23 to 90, and I would say everyone enjoyed their time at Sunshine & Pineapple so much that they were already talking about "next time". The waffles made with croissant batter were deliciously crunchy, and the comments were that "the bacon was crisp just how they like it." The shrimp was a bit spicy for my aunt, but just right for other people at the table, so it depends on one's personal preference. The pineapple sausage and eggs entree was enjoyed by my BIL and son. Bacon, avocado, and eggs was another dish enjoyed. Coffee was strong, in a good way. Put it this way, everyone liked both the food and atmosphere. We sang, "Happy Birthday to you!" over waffles. It was so perfect. Thank you S&P. read more

My husband and I were searching for a place to have brunch. We happen to come across this quaint little place in Kapahulu. The service was provided by the owner and let me tell you, he was awesome. He was telling us that he was just open for only a month. I never thought to have pineapple served in different ways. I most especially enjoyed the pineapple dressing that came with my salad. He also served sourdough bread with a some kind of pineapple spread. Food was awesome. If you're going in Hawaii and in the Kapahulu area, check this place out!!!! read more
