Neighborhood walking tour. My kids loved Nicki
Sake primer
POW WOW mural
Nicky was such a sweetheart with my son Kenzo.
We even had time to stop at a local sake shop to learn the sake making process and the difference between each sake from the owner.
So good!! South American fusion meets local brews
And Eat to the sign!
The empanada was very crisp and meaty. The chicken wing was tender and flavorful with the chimichurri sauce.
Alii Coffee is locally owned. The ice coffee, tea and sandwiches were all very refreshing and made with locally grown ingredients.
Local butcher
This was Southern Loves Mac Daddy! Mac n cheese base with baked beans and pulled pork on top with a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
Butcher case. We got a wonderful sample here, but I don't want to ruin the surprise

Took my family on this walking food tour and our guide Nicky was Amazing. She had the most uplifting personality that made this tour so much fun. She took us to some of the most refreshing, delicious and coolest local spots in Kaka'ako. She also told us some of the local history of the area as we walked to each location. If you are ever in the area I suggest you book this food tour.

I did the Local Kine Breakfast Cafe Tour with my son and husband and it was a lot of fun and very high quality cafes that we weren't aware of in Kakaako. Nicky is so sweet and very knowledgable about the neighborhood and gave a lot of information about even the historical facts about how the neighborhood evolved to what it is today. We were so full at the end --definitely a lot of great breakfast food and coffee and tea beverages. We had a great time and we feel like we walked off some of those calories too. :) It was also great supporting local small businesses! Visitors or Kama'aina will LOVE this tour!! Give Nicky a call or book online with her. You'll LOVE it!!

I have heard so much great buzz about this new food tour. I hear the leaders are incredibly knowledgeable of the Hawaiian eateries and are super friendly. I know when I'm in Honolulu next, I've got a try this place.And I also hear, all people to sign up for the tour get a complimentary Hawaiian Cruz 'n Eat lei! Total bonus!

This tour was so much fun. We learned so much about the area and tasted great food and drinks from locally owned businesses. Some of them we never would have found on our own. Highly recommend!

I love doing tours, and this is one of my favorite tours. Nicky with a y is knowledgeable and funny. I brought a couple of friends, and we left with our tummies full and our heads full of knowledge. I love trying new places I wouldn't have come across on my own. A tropical storm was not going to deter us from our food journey!

Nicky is awesome. We did the breakfast tour and it was a blast. It was like we were just having a casual stroll around our neighborhood, stopping and talking to people, and having a bite to eat. You will definitely get to some places you wouldn't otherwise get to. Nicky has them all scoped out. We've done tours all over the world, this is one of the most fun. We can't recommend highly enough.

Nicky continues to amaze me with her historical knowledge of the Kakaako area. She has carefully selected the perfect cross section of eateries covering everything' from appetizers to desserts featuring varied cuisines. She makes it a point to focus on local hands-on owners who were usually available during the tour. Don't forget, every good bite deserves a thirst quencher. We explored drinks ranging from IPA brews to Sake!!! Definiteky local owned and created amazing drinks to wash it down. This is my second tour with her. My visiting family and friends always comment that they understand the back story to a part of the island history and culture within the time of a brisk 2 hour tour. Thanks for keeping Hawaii's cultural awareness alive and tasty. Mahalos,Dr Lou
