Dole Pineapple Plantation Cafeteria

Dole Pineapple Plantation Cafeteria

This small pineapple-themed cafeteria is truly one of the biggest highlights of the like-it-or-hate-it Pineapple Plantation tourist trap. The atmosphere is sunny and youthful, the service is decent, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious.

Understandably, the menu revolves around pineapple. The menu ranges from "entrées" like sandwiches, hot dogs, pineapple chili dogs, and pineapple chili bowls, to pineapple pastries, ice creams, Dole Whip (a dairy-free pineapple sorbet), and of course, fresh pineapple juice and sliced pineapple. Everything is brightly laid out with fresh pineapples everywhere - if nothing else, you know it's fresh.

I wasn't hungry, so I settled with a Dole Whip in a crunchy waffle cone. The sorbet was smooth and creamy, but not overly sweet. At $3.95, it was a decent value. Prices for other menu items range from $5 for a sandwich, to $3.25 for a bowl of fresh pineapple, to $2 for a medium pineapple juice.

The menu is in both English and Japanese. All the staff members speak Japanese as well. After getting your cone, head outside and eat your food in the sunshine. There are plenty of tables available, with views of the extensive pineapple plantations. Or, if you're just grabbing a cone, grab one on the way in and then head out to tour the grounds with a cone-in-hand.

The cafeteria is well-marked on the grounds of the Dole Pineapple Plantation. To get here, take the Kamehameha Highway north from Honolulu. The plantation is just north of Wahiawa on the right hand side of the highway.

Stop by for some snacks when touring the plantation, you won't be disappointed. That is, unless you don't like pineapple!
