Their motto: “health food sucks” 😂 Delicious burgers, I wanted to go pretty much every day.
Bubba’s Burgers
Elevated, delicious plates. Very good vibes there, would be a great place to dress up and do a cocktail hour at!
Scotty Browns Hawaii
This place may look like a hole in the wall but it has incredible smoothie bowls and the best musubi in the front. Come here for a very low key experience. The musubis are only about $3 each - such a deal!

All things surfing! 🏄♀️ 🤙🏼 Such cute designs. It’s a little store and I literally went in there with no shoes and no one batted an eye 😅
