After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
As the most isolated population center on earth — located more than 2,000 miles from the closest continent — the Hawaiian Islands are unique. Everything from our culture to the food we eat is a bit different than the mainland. One of our favorite local foods is kalua pork, and Kono’s serves some of the best.
Welcome to Kono’s! With three locations on the island of Oahu — in Haleiwa, Kapahulu, and Kailua — Kono’s is one of our all-time favorite spots for slow-roasted pulled pork and Hawaiian classics.
For more than 15 years, Kono’s has been selling it’s signature 12-hour slow-roasted kalua pork in their famous breakfast bombers, sandwiches, and plate lunches. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.
Other pork-inspired dishes include wraps and salads, but don’t worry: your non-pork eating friends will find something to love, whether it’s one of their six breakfast bombers, banana macadamia waffles, a BLT, or their turkey bacon ranch club wrap. There’s truly something for everyone here.
From specialty smoothies, freshly-squeezed lemon and limeades, and hand-crafted milkshakes, you can even consider your sweet tooth satisfied at Kono’s.
It’s easy to see why locals and tourists alike love Kono’s, and the eatery has been consistently honored as being one of the best spots on the island for breakfast and lunch — plus, it’s affordable!
So, what are you waiting for? Whether you've yet to visit Kono's or just need to get your kalua pork fix, this spot should be added to your weekend plans!
Kono’s Haleiwa location is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., while their Kapahulu location is open daily from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and the Kailua location is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
