Looking for bulletproof coffee? This is your spot! Awesome bullet coffee, with vegan bullet options of coconut, almond, and many more flavors. Awesome papaya bowls and lots of shakes and snack options. Yummy! It's 2 blocks from my apt and just opened in Waikiki so I couldn't be happier. Also, if you go to the North Shore, visit their NS location by the Sunset Beach. It will make your heart happy. Highly recommend them!

An awesome new spot in Waikiki. Great coffee, food, vibe and folks who run the show. This place holds really fun events. My favorite is their TOMA event, Terrace of Modern Art. Once a month they organize a cool art show where you can meet and mingle with local artists and buy and support their art. It's a fun event and not to be missed! They also have pool parties and breakfast and brunch etc. Definitely, go check them out!

This event offers an amazing experience. It's a $5 admission yoga class that I love to go to. It's offered once a month during the week. It's set up in the lush green lawns of Moana Surfrider resort and spa and right by the ocean. You can hear the ocean and enjoy your yoga practice led by some of the best yoga instructors in the world. After a great yoga session, you can kick back, enjoy the beautiful breeze and the oceans views, and enjoy a glass of wine. They also do a raffle for the ticket they give you when you pay $5 admission fee. You can win cool prizes by the selective local vendors that are part of the event. Must experience!

There is recreational outrigger paddling offered almost every day. It's a fun activity to try. You can also watch canoe races if you take a walk by the Ala Wai Canal which is steps away from my apartment.
