The Little
Restaurant
That Could…
In late 2013, Chef Lee Anne Wong uprooted from her hometown of NYC to move to sunny Oahu, Hawaii. There she partnered with Chef Kevin Hanney and opened up Koko Head Cafe in March of 2014, in the tiny space that Chef Hanney’s 12th Ave Grill had previously occupied. Specializing in locally sourced, creative brunch fare, Koko Head Cafe quickly became a community favorite, often with a line out the front door, and has received both local and national acclaim in print, online, and on television. In the 8 years since opening, Koko Head Cafe has proudly served over a million customers, and our entire team is thrilled to invite you to experience our next evolution; we’ve moved down the street, and we’ve got some delectable new moments awaiting you.
Our Mission
Koko Head Cafe is committed to supporting our partners, farmers, and producers through our locally sourced, sustainable menu. We make everything from scratch daily, in order to showcase the best our ‘aina has to offer.
New Digs
In March of 2022, Koko Head Cafe moved down the street to a much larger space that once again had housed its sister restaurant, 12th Ave Grill. We’ve expanded our seating capacity, with both indoor and outdoor seating, featuring a full bar/counter, and also have multiple spaces that can be rented for private events and gatherings. Our entire team is excited for all of the new possibilities and delicious adventures ahead!
