A toast to that

Loaded toast is one of my favorite brunch dishes. Check out these tasty — and aesthetically pleasing — options.

Hawaii kai’s haven

Liko’s Tap & Table (377 Keahole St. C2) offers a relaxing daily brunch with outdoor seating and waterfront views. The eatery’s avocado toast ($18) — fresh mashed and seasoned avocado on a French baguette drizzled with everything spice, extra-virgin olive oil, roasted grape tomatoes, micro greens and a soft poached egg and served with field greens — is one of the most popular dishes. Pro tip: If you want a lighter side, ask for fruit instead of white/fried rice and potatoes.

A trendy brunch pick

ARVO Café (324 Coral St. Ste. 1A) is a hip coffee shop in Kakaako that offers more than a cup of Joe. While the biz does serve a variety of trendy beverages — matcha, charcoal and lavender lattes, to name a few — its food menu is not to be missed. Popular orders include ricotta toast ($12) and Nutella toast ($11) if you want something sweet, and loaded avocado toast ($12.50) and smoked salmon toast ($12.50) if you prefer savory.
