Joints implies a dive, diner or casual place. The top 10 breakfast joints in Oahu also offer value and a meal with an island flair.

Ted’s Bakery
Ted’s Bakery in Sunset Beach is a local favorite. Pies and cakes for breakfast are certainly a fun option and you can (and should) get one to go. You can take to the beach across the street and enjoy or back to your vacation home or hotel room. Ted’s signature pie is the chocolate haupia (coconut pudding). Breakfast is reasonably priced and you can get a hearty plate of eggs and meat with a side of rice or hash browns. Plate lunches, salads, breakfast sandwiches and a fried rice special are all on the menu. The bakery items are as extensive and include a variety of pastries and breads—muffins, scones, cornbread, French doughnuts, turnovers and more. Coffee drinks and smoothies are available to wash it all down with.

Farmers’ Market
Dine in the sunshine at the Saturday Farmers’ Market in Honolulu, located at Kapiolani Community College. With dishes from the students of the Culinary Institute of the Pacific, a different restaurant creating breakfast each week and Hawaiian-grown coffee, you’re guaranteed a fulfilling breakfast. In addition, a tip sheet is available online the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation to give you the details of the items featured that week. Fruit smoothies, fresh island fruit, artisan breads and a myriad of pastries are just a small sampling of what’s available.
