With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
From epic breakfast joints to restaurants with sunset views, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the best restaurants around. But there is one meal that reigns supreme: brunch, a heavenly meal best enjoyed on a weekend morning, followed by a trip to one of Hawaii’s best beaches. Serving up classic breakfast favorites and island-inspired dishes, this Hawaii cafe is the best place to go for brunch – no matter what time of day it is. After all, brunch is obviously the most important meal of the day, and at Koko Head Cafe, it’s always time for brunch.
Tucked away in Kaimuki, where you will discover a charming, walkable mix of old-fashioned stores and hip restaurants, is Koko Head Cafe. Nestled into a side street and housed within an off-white building with blue trim and a cheery white-and-yellow striped awning, this is the neighborhood’s favorite morning destination.
Open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., it’s always brunch at Koko Head Cafe, which features one single brunch menu written on a colorful chalkboard, and is loved by the culinary community, locals, and out-of-towners alike.
Serving up plenty of Aloha alongside fresh fish from nearby waters and island-inspired favorites, we don’t need — or want — separate breakfast and lunch menus.
Chef and co-owner Lee Anne Wong made a name for herself on the first season of Top Chef, moved to Honolulu in 2013, and puts her spin on classic local dishes sure to please.
...there’s plenty of island flair to be found as well — from dumplings to the breakfast bibimbap, delivered to patrons in a cast-iron skillet to mimic the iron bowl the Korean dish is usually served in.
While you will often find Koko Head Cafe packed full of hungry customers, it's well worth the wait, and no matter what your order, we're sure your taste buds will be satisfied.
Koko Head Cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information, visit their website or follow them on Facebook. Then, share in the comments your favorite meal of the day and your go-to Hawaiian restaurants. We’d love to hear from you.
