Sunshine & Pineapple — Restaurant in Honolulu

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hidden Gem Alert: Sunshine and Pineapple in Honolulu!

I’m honestly shocked this place hasn’t blown up yet! Sunshine and Pineapple is one of those rare finds that feels like you're in on a secret. I showed up right before 7:30 AM, and (true to their word) they were open and ready, no delays, no hassle. That alone is worth celebrating these days.

They were incredibly warm and welcoming, super friendly and down-to-earth, like locals you’ve known forever. They actually talk to you, which makes the whole experience feel more like a visit than a transaction.

Now let’s talk about the food… I got the poké breakfast plate and wow. Just wow. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. This is how you start a day right. Perfectly seasoned poké, hard-boiled eggs dusted with paprika, fresh fruit, creamy peanut butter, guacamole, toasted bread… every bite was satisfying and intentional. And yes, they included a flower, because why not add a little aloha to your morning?

What really blew me away was the price. For Hawaii, this kind of quality at this price point feels like a steal. Honestly, I’m half-tempted to gatekeep this place, but they deserve all the love and traffic.

If you’re in Honolulu and not stopping by Sunshine and Pineapple, you’re seriously missing out. Go before the lines get long. This spot won’t stay a secret for...

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...
