Mahalo May at Zippy’s: Comfort Food for a Cause

 Every May, Zippy's gives back to the community through its Mahalo May campaign by partnering with a local nonprofit organization. This year, they selected Special Olympics Hawaii, which provides sports programs, competitions, and opportunities for thousands of athletes and Unified partners throughout the islands.  Participation is always free of charge!

The featured item supporting the campaign is the Kokua Pac — a combo packed with Portuguese sausage, half of a red hot dog, Spam, Korean fried chicken, and rice. 

It has Hawaii's favorites all in one meal, and a portion of the proceeds from each Kokua Pac sold during May will go toward supporting Special Olympics Hawaii.

Customers visiting Zippy’s in person can also help Special Olympics Hawaii by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar at checkout, making it an easy way to give back while enjoying a meal.

And of course, no Zippy’s run is complete without drinks and dessert 😋 

We paired our meal with an Orange Bang and the refreshing lilikoi drink, then finished things off with this month’s featured treats from Napoleon's Bakery — the lemon napple and pineapple coffee cake. Both were the perfect sweet ending to a meal for a good cause.

Big mahalo to Zippy’s for continuing to support local organizations!!

The Kokua Pac and round-up donations will be available from now until May 31, 2026 at all Zippy's locations in Hawaii.

New at Zippy's: Keiki Meals To-Go and Capsule Toys!

 Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary certificates to use towards today's food purchases.

Now available at Zippy's - Keiki Meals to-go! Keiki Meals are priced lower than mini plates, but can be enjoyed by all! Plus, each meal comes with a coin for a special capsule toy that makes it meal time even more fun for kids (and adults if that's your thing!).

I am so excited that Zippy's has made their Keiki Meals available at the take-out counter. The portion size is perfect for my kids, and they come with a small toy! The prices are also reasonable!

The Keiki Meals come in 6 varieties: 

• Spaghetti with Garlic Bread
• Mac & Cheese
• Saimin
• Hamburger Combo (fries)
• Grilled Cheese combo (fries)
• Chicken & Spam Musubi

According to my son who ordered the Keiki Saimin:

"It tasted good and flavorful! The noodles were cooked perfectly. The toy was actually pretty good! It was a pop-it shirt! I'll take it!"

The other son got some Zippy's mini stickers with his Keiki Meal!

Don't forget that every Keiki Meal comes with a token or coupon for a toy, whether you dine-in or take-out. Ask for one if they don't automatically give it to you.

Keiki Meals are great on those days when we're eating on the go or don't have the time or energy to cook. I'm also considering ordering the Keiki Chicken & Spam Musubi meals the next time we're on snack duty for the boys' sports teams.

We will be back for more Keiki Meals and capsule toys!

September Specials at Zippy's

Thank you to our sponsor for the coupons to try out the September specials!

Time is running out to enjoy these September specials at Zippy's:

Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Squares - this is one of my favorite flavors of coffee cake squares, since I love practically everything strawberry. 

Chocolate Dipped Yeast Donut - classic yeast donuts hand dipped in chocolate. I brought these to soccer practice and they were gone in a flash. 

Chantilly Puff - these are filled with chocolate and topped with Chantilly - it's hard to eat just one because they're really good and almost bite-sized. 

To commemorate the upcoming opening of Zippy's in Vegas, Zippy's is offering the "VEGAS PAC" in September. It weighs almost two pounds, and it includes customer favorites such as Fried Chicken, Korean Fried Chicken, SPAM, red hot dog, and of course, Zippy's chili (you can get it with beans, without beans, or vegetarian chili). 

Visit zippys.com for more information or to place an online order. 

Prices may vary by location for all items. While supplies last. Not available for delivery. Sorry, no substitutions. Other restrictions may apply.

But in order to get one, you have to be one of the first customers through the door when they open, because these cakes are extremely limited in quantity, and in high demand.

Zippys X Asato Family Shop Collaboration

Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary merchandise!

Zippy's has partnered with Asato Family Shop on a collection of limited-edition items that is sure to cool you down this summer:

1) Zippy's X Asato T-shirt  ($25) - available in adult sizes small - 2XL

2) Mood Ice Cream Scooper ($5) - it changes color when it touches something cold!

3) Mango Bango sherbert - available at Zippy's Dine-In Restaurants only.

The Mango Bango is a summer mix of Zippy's Orange Bang and mango, made locally by Asato Family Shop. My sons and I loved it! 

In case you are not familiar with Asato Family Shop, they started out a few years ago selling their sherbert out of a commercial kitchen in Halawa by subscription-only, and eventually opened a brick and mortar in Nuuanu. They are currently only open on Wednesdays and Sundays (4 hours each day!) for pre-order pickups and walk-ins. Flavors rotate weekly.

Get your hands on this limited edition flavor at your favorite Zippy's Restaurant (dine-in only) while supplies last!

Zippy's Bakery Specials of the Month

Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary certificates to use towards today's food purchases.

It's a new month, which means you can find new bakery specials at Zippy's, now available through July 3, 2022.

Guava Cream Cheese Square

Normally Zippy's cream cheese squares are topped with a layer of strawberry jello, but in the month of June, they are topping their cream cheese squares with a layer of guava gelatin! I could definitely taste the guava flavor - it was very refreshing!

Strawberry Coffee Cake Square

Moist and tender cake with strawberries mixed in the batter. Strawberry filling stripes and streusel crumbs decorate the top. This cake is very light and won't weigh you down! Tip: enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Napple

Just like their legendary Apple Napple, except instead of apple filling, you'll find strawberry and cream cheese filling inside. These pastries are buttery, flaky, and glazed right as they come out of the oven. I personally like to pop these in the microwave for about ten seconds before consuming! 

These items will only be around through July 2, so don't miss out on these 'berry' delicious offerings! 

P.S. You can also add these items to your online order, so long as you select "ASAP pick-up".

 Also, Zippy's will be selling a very special cake in limited quanties during Father's Day weekend only. Click here to find out what it is! This will be sure to sell out quick on both days. Only available by walk-in.

Zippys' Korean Fried Tofu Plate and Korean Fried Tofu Burger - available for two more weekends!

Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary certificates to use towards today's food purchases.

You have two more weekends to enjoy Zippys' Korean Fried Tofu Plate and Korean Fried Tofu Burger. I've never been a huge fan of tofu and usually don't order it at restaurants, but Zippys' does it right by drenching their breaded tofu with their Korean sauce, and I am now a huge fan of this plate! 

Each Korean Fried Tofu Plate comes with three Panko-crusted tofu, fried and tossed in Korean sauce, two scoops of rice, and choice of mac or green salad. 

For lighter appetites, try the Breaded Tofu Burger with Korean Sauce. Same concept, but in a burger form - comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, all sandwiched between a potato bun.  

Only available for two more weekends (April 1-3, and April 8-10) between 10:30 am - 9:30 pm while supplies last. 

And if tofu isn't your jam, I highly recommend Zippy's fried chicken or chicken katsu. Same crispiness, but with chicken instead of tofu!

And don't forget the Lilikoi Drink and Orange Bang to quench your thirst and cool you down!
