Famous across Hawaii for their chocolate haupia cream pie — a three-layer masterpiece that people literally drive from Waikiki to try. But Ted's on Kamehameha Highway in Haleiwa is also a solid plate lunch spot with standout garlic shrimp (perfectly peeled) and Korean-style kalbi ribs that might surprise BBQ purists.
Right near Sunset Beach, it's the perfect North Shore fuel stop. Popular pie flavors sell out early — by 10am on weekdays, you might only find chocolate haupia left. The pineapple cheesecake is an underrated gem with incredibly fresh pineapple layers.
💡 Insider Tip
Arrive early for the best pie selection — popular flavors sell out by 10am. Skip the machine coffee, but don't miss the pineapple cheesecake. Expect waits during busy times; they sometimes lose track of orders.
