Monsarrat Ave cafes, Diamond Head

It's lovely to walk around Kapiolani Park and Queen Kapiolani Garden or swim at Hau Tree Beach, and then have a coffee or meal on Monsarrat Ave. Or conversely, you can get takeout at South Shore Grill on Monsarrat Ave and take it down to the beach or park. 

There are a row of cafes on Monsarrat Ave with views of the amazing crater of Diamond Head. This is a busy street but there's still a good vibe here- there's plenty of concrete but also blossoming trees and plumeria flowers.
Check out for breakfast and lunch: Aloha Cafe Pineapple, Cafe Morey's,  Sunny Days, and Bogart's Cafe.
Check out for lunch and dinner: South Shore Grill (delicious fish tacos), Hawaii Sushi, Pioneer Saloon Japanese, and Allegrini Italian.
Or for a lazy coffee, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. All day long, you can get something at Da Cove Health Bar. Or hang out at ARS Cafe and Gelato, which has art on the walls. Yum!
Get married at the adorable chapel at Waikiki Leia! Or have reservations-only dinner there.
You can walk east to Tonggs Beach where you will find a tiny wall and walkway by the sea, plus gingerbread-style houses, and then past Diamond Head Lighthouse to Diamond Head Overlooks for awesome, high-up, windy views over the water.
