Red and green aren’t just for decorating the tree, they’re showing up on menus across the island in the boldest ways.

Bakery on King

You can never go wrong with an avocado toast, and the one at Bakery on King is pilled high with green avocado and arugula. Or, if you’re the type who only eats a little of your greens, order the turkey ranch BLT that comes with turkey, brown sugar bacon, lettuce and tomato, or the cranberry chicken salad wrap with pulled spiced chicken breast, tangy cranberry and pistachio dressing and arugula in a spinach wrap. Green and red always looks nice on the plate.

Kapiolani Coffee Shop

Nothing beats a warm bowl of oxtail soup filled to the brim with Chinese parsley and green onions. At Kapiolani Coffee Shop, you can order a mini or regular oxtail soup (or saimin) topped with aromatic garnishes perfect for the cold, rainy days ahead. Did you know Wataru Teruya opened the original coffee shop on Kapiolani Boulevard, where Hawaii Convention Center now sits, in the late 1940s? Its a coffee shop that’ll never lose its old-school charm.
