We had a few hours to kill on the west side of the island and realized it had been way too long since we spent time in Leeward and Central Oʻahu. So, naturally, we made a mini food tour of our favorite local spots.
First stop: Island Vintage in Kapolei
No trip out this way is complete without a visit to Island Vintage for a caffeine boost and an acai bowl. Their bowls are always refreshing, and the coffee? Strong as ever! It was the perfect start to the day.
Next: Kilani Bakery in Wahiawā
We couldn’t leave without picking up a box of goodies from Kilani. The donuts were our target, but of course, we had to grab their famous brownies too (not pictured because they were devoured almost immediately).
Final stop: Tanika's for local grinds
We wrapped things up with a plate of okazuya items from Tanioka's, and wow—we forgot how good this place is. Their boneless butterfish bowl - a combination of butterfish (choose between three different flavors) and your choice of poke, was spot-on. Flavorful, generous portions, and exactly what we needed to end our quick tour on a high note.

I'm already wanting to go back to this side of the island to hit more of our favorite spots!
