Koko Head Cafe
1120 12th Ave

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. Specializing in locally sourced, creative brunch fare, Koko Head Cafe quickly became a community favorite and has received both local and national acclaim in print, online and on television. This special 90/90 event features a collaboration with Roy Yamaguchi of Roy’s Hawaii, Robynne Maii of Fete Restaurant and Michelle Karr Ueoka of MW Restaurant.
