Sunny’s Local Grind
464 Ena Rd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Sunny's Local Grind is a vibrant neighborhood spot in Honolulu that serves thoughtfully crafted breakfast and specialty drinks with real soul—think creamy ube lattes alongside kimchi fried rice with pork belly, and biscuits smothered in mushroom gravy that even vegetarian partners rave about. The sunny outdoor seating and genuinely warm staff create the perfect low-key vibe for lingering over matcha tea or grabbing a quick bite, though you'll want to arrive early since tables fill up fast. With strong values, standout flavor execution, and a menu that actually offers something for everyone, it's the kind of local favorite that locals fiercely protect.”

Ordered Kimchi Fried Rice with Pork Belly and Avocado- slightly sweet, gently spicy (warm? Not hot really at all), fresh kimchi, excellent flavor. Hubs got the breakfast burrito which he called, “actually possibly the best breakfast burrito I have ever had.” He’s eaten a lot of burritos… so. Kiddos split the burger and we all munched on fries and tots. We ordered ahead and waltzed through the front door after we confirmed our order. (But not after entering into Aloha Kitchen first and completely confusing the staff there but we went a different day and you should also eat there because 🤌🏽 it’s also amazing but different than Sunny’s!). Also some of the best fries and potato mac salad I have ever had. This place doesn’t have a lot of indoor seating (not a problem because… it’s Oahu. Go outside, it’s likely beautiful) but every ounce of food is packed with flavor. Just amazing.
Tasty, cute place. Great drinks and great food. And we love an anti-ICE establishment 🫶 Chickpea smash and biscuits and gravy was so good. Delicious strawberry matcha. The staff is so kind and upbeat
Food was great — we got Brekky Burrito, Fried Rice, Orange Juice and Ube Latte for $37. Limited seating but the area outside was cute :) EDIT: Went here for the second time, got Burrito again + Chicken Karaage and they were great!
I enjoyed the breakfast burrito and coffee! Limited seating, only 4 tables so definitely get there early if you can. I wish the hours were a bit more transparent since it says 6 AM open but the kitchen does not open until 7 AM. It was fine though, I just got a coffee and waited. The food was quite yummy! I liked the local art and holiday decorations too. Located in a convenient spot in Waikiki.
First time trying Sunny’s and it did not disappoint. My husband is vegetarian, so finding places with enough choices is always hard. He had the biscuits and mushroom gravy which was super flavorful and a good size portion. I had the Brekkie burrito with spam and it was SO SO delicious. Definitely recommend for a quick service bite, chill vibe, and great price.
