Aloha Cafe Pineapple

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.

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 bargainService 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.

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.

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.

Ridding the scooter around the area and we drove by this place. Turned around and set down for a drink. What an amazing decision, people here are so friendly and we loved the drinks. Would definitely recommend and also return for more!

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.

Quick notes: I came here early one morning and I've been back literally every morning (and maybe some afternoons). Keep reading to find out why...Service: genuinely friendly and helpful. Every staff member is welcoming when you come in and it is clear your experience here matters. Food/drinks: their plantation tea is very addicting and refreshing. Not too sweet and not overloaded with ice. The hibiscus mint tea is another winner with a very subtle touch of sweet combined with a cool mint and passion flavor. The Monsarrat Plate is a hearty breakfast plate at a BETTER PRICE than the major chain coffee shops. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas are clean and decorated with lots of aloha and pineapples (how fitting!) Note: there is parking in the back of the establishment as well as available street parking on the nearby side street.

A must try juice bar and coffee. They have very good fresh juice here. Coffee are great too , acai juice is my favorite here , very good friendly staff and super clean too. Come stop by this place, but be sure to come early it can get very busy.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the food, my picky teenagers devoured the dishes. Very local and authentic and delicious.We walked here after the diamond head hike. Not sure if it's because of the hike and hunger, my boys said it's the best food in the past few days. Service is also great.
