Tucked above the ABC Marketplace on the quieter Diamond Head end of Ala Moana Blvd, Goofy Cafe & Dine has built a loyal following on a simple promise: 'Eat Local.' Owned and operated by a longtime Waikiki surfer, the kitchen sources organic produce from O'ahu farms, Big Island beef, and locally caught fish for a Hawaiian-fusion menu that draws health-conscious diners and the morning-surf crowd alike. Breakfast is the marquee meal — loco moco built on grass-fed beef, taro pancakes, and the popular acai bowl — but dinner brings garlic shrimp plates, fresh poke, and a respectable craft beer and sake list. The vibe is laid-back surf-shack-meets-cafe, with an open-air lanai, hand-painted murals, and reggae on the speakers. Casual, kid-friendly, and a great post-beach refuel.
"Hands down our favorite breakfast spot in Waikiki — the loco moco with grass-fed beef and the taro pancakes are unreal. Came back for dinner the same trip and the garlic shrimp was just as good. Friendly servers and a chill vibe."
