Tim Veling has always loved bagels—but he got hooked on Montreal-style bagels while in New Zealand, eating at the famous Best Ugly. For years he thought about opening a bagel shop on Oʻahu that specializes in the sweeter, smaller bagels Montreal is known for. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Veling, who had been working at […]
Growing up in Kailua on O‘ahu’s Windward Side, Ryan Katsuno would go to Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop at least once a week, stocking up on sweet bread, pastries and—the bakery’s signature treat—malasadas. Malasadas are Hawai‘i’s quintessential comfort food. They’re basically deep-fried, sugar-dusted doughnuts, brought to Hawai‘i with the 1878 arrival of Portuguese plantation laborers from the Madeira and Azores islands. And
O‘ahu has a few coastal communities where you can shop, eat and hit the beach all in the same day—and without a car. But Kailua, the once-sleepy community on the island’s Windward Side, is arguably the most diverse, with art galleries, hip coffee shops, beachy boutiques, world-class beaches and the largest wetland in the Islands—all
Cat, Kevin and Kyla recently visited Waikīkī, Kailua and Haleʻiwa, and they’re here with updates on the iconic Oʻahu towns.

The buzz started on Instagram. A new food truck had opened in Kailua on Oʻahu, in the parking lot of Manuhealiʻi (5 Hoʻolai St.)—and it was selling freshly made malasadas.

This is part of our “Shop With Aloha” series. It’s been about two months since Mānoa Chocolate temporarily closed its retail space in Kailua on Oʻahu due to the spread of COVID-19 in the Islands. The artisan chocolate maker, which specializes in bean-to-bar chocolate using locally grown (when possible) and ethically sourced cacao, had been giving
Last summer Nik and Jennifer Lodendahn, who already run a successful brunch spot in Kailua called Over Easy, expanded into American-style barbecue with a new restaurant a short walk away.

Kailua, the once-sleepy community on Oahu’s Windward Side, is most often associated with its beaches. And we get it. Kailua and Lanikai beaches are world-renowned, luring thousands of visitors every year with their golden sands and aquamarine waters. But the appeal of this beachy town, flanked by the dramatic cliffs of the Koolau Mountains and
I like to think that I’m in pretty good physical shape. I surf daily, go to yoga a few times a week and watch what I eat. But as I’m about 20 minutes into my kayaking journey to Na Mokulua, the two picturesque islands off the coast of Lanikai, I’ve come to realize that paddling a
There was a time when I spent a lot of time in Kailua. I’d meet up with friends on Kailua Beach in the late afternoon, all of us leaning back in beach chairs, strumming guitars and dishing about the guys we (OK, they) were dating. We’d get up before sunrise to hike to the pillboxes
The crew, Kevin Allen and Catherine Toth Fox, are back together again this week to talk about their most recent trip to Kailua, one of Oahu’s busiest beachside towns. Before we get to that, however, be sure to enter your votes for our 2020 Readers Choice Awards, and if you have an exceptional photo of
The second you pass through the large copper-and-teak heart-shaped gate of the Paul Mitchell Estate in Lanikai on Oahu, you instantly feel like you’re walking the grounds of a luxury resort.
