Oahu Recommendations for Cafes/Coffee

Of course, I can’t make a Oahu food recommendations blog without also including my favorite cafe’s and coffee spots! These four spots are ones you must visit, as their coffee and baked goods are DELICOUS!

Coffee shop 831– This is a cafe in Honolulu with organic options with coffees that are sourced locally. They even have fresh smoothies and breakfast items as well! There are lots of gluten-free and vegan options which is great for someone like me with food allergies. They also have ocean-friendly apparel, tumblers, and coffee mugs which make some pretty cute souvenirs!

Mana & Pua – Cutest café for coffee and wine on the north shore. The energy in there is just perfect- cute and friendly. They have a great menu which you can check out here!

Leonard’s Bakery – Superrrr famous Portuguese bakery. This is the only recommendation I personally can’t eat it due to allergies but people love it!! You can now even order online for pickup or delivery as well! This bakery was originally founded in 1952, and it’s origin story is pretty neat. You can learn more about its history here!
