Kamehameha Bakery
Food top pick: Poi glaze donuts (taro malasada)
Price: $ 1.15
This bakery in Kalihi has almost forty years of donut-making experience and is the founder of the famous poi glazed donuts. Glazed with poi-flavored sugar, those donuts are soft, fluffy, and a little bit gooey, with a unique Hawaiian flair.
Other than the poi glaze donuts, Kamehameha Bakery also offers a wide range of regular donuts. Regardless of which donut you pick, this bakery will serve you with the best ingredients and finest local flavors.
Island Vintage Coffee
Food top pick: Original açaí bowls,
with seasonal berries as the topping
Price: $ 15.55
Kona coffee beans are an Arabica variety cultivated in the North and South Kona districts of Hawaii's Big Island. The local climate and porous and mineral-rich soil together form Kona's sweet aroma and distinct flavor.
Originated from Honolulu, Island Vintage Coffee makes most of their tasty drinks with 100ï¼… Kona coffee, though their number one seller is the original açaí bowl, which is totally caffeine-free. Anyway, no one would argue that they make spectacular coffee and non-coffee drinks!
Waiola Shave Ice
Food top pick: Shave ice with flavored syrups
Price: $ 3~6
Shave ice is a classic Hawaiian dessert made by shaved ice. Usually, the ice is shaved into small particles, and thus the shave ice looks delicate and light white and can easily absorb the added flavored syrups.
Waiola Shave Ice is the longest-running shave ice store in Honolulu and has been Hawaii's favorite since the 1940s. It has thousands of different shave ice flavor combinations - have a try and you won't regret!
