On the food front, Hawaii is about Hawaiian food, a unique mashup of cultures — namely Japanese, Chinese, Korean,Filipino, Puerto Rican and Portuguese.

In the upcoming part two, we’ll dig into ten standout Honolulu restaurants, both traditional and forward-thinking — and a historic, off-the-beaten-path hotel worth retreating at. Here in part one, I share some of Honolulu’s best coffee, bites, bakeries and bars that also serve great food (more on Honolulu’s top cocktail bars here).
