Pizza
The undisputed place where Moloka'i heads for a slice is Moloka'i Pizza Café (15 Kaun-
akakai Pl., 808/553-3288, 10am-10pm Mon.-Thurs., 10am-11pm Fri.-Sat., 11am-10pm
Sun., $10-16), in the last building before you start heading down the road to the ferry dock.
Pizzas are served either whole or by the slice ($2.50). There's also a decent selection of
pasta dishes.
Filipino
Big Daddy's (67 Ala Malama Ave., 808/553-5841, 8am-6pm daily, under $9) along the
main strip of Ala Malama serves a variety of inexpensive Filipino food and Hawaiian fare,
in addition to the eggs and omelets for breakfast and local-style plate lunches. Next door
is Big Daddy's Market for a limited selection of groceries, some prepared foods, and a few
true Filipino delicacies such as balut.
Coffee Shop
Anyone visiting Tiki's Coffee Shack (35 Mohala St., 808/553-3488, 6:30am-6pm Mon.-
Fri., 8am-2pm Sat., 9am-noon Sun., $6-10) will find a casual blend of metropolitan soph-
istication with the laid-back island flavor of Moloka'i. Relax in the downtown parlor with
free Wi-Fi while sipping on coffee grown just up the road in Kualapu'u. Gourmet sand-
wiches and paninis are popular lunch items with as many ingredients as possible sourced
here on island.
Markets
Given the lackluster evening activities on the island, there's a joke among locals that if
you're looking for a place to hang out at night just go down to the Friendly Market (Ala
Malama Ave., 8:30am-8:30pm Mon.-Fri. 8:30am-6:30pm Sat.), because everyone is going
to be there anyway. It's stays open later than most places on the island.
If for some reason the Friendly Market doesn't have what you need, then Misaki's
Groceries and Dry Goods (Ala Malama Ave., 8:30am-8:30pm Mon.-Sat., 9am-noon
Sun.) a few doors down should be able to fill the gap.
FARMERS MARKET
If you're in town on Saturday morning, visit the farmers market held 7am-noon on the
sidewalk in front of the bank buildings for local produce and craft items. This seems as
much of a social event as a shopping exercise for locally grown food.
