Cafe Laniakea

Across the Ewa (west) side of Iolani Palace, this public cafe is located within the Laniakea YWCA, which is also a filming location.

Notes

The Cafe Laniakea is on the grounds of the Laniakea YWCA, itself a Lost filming location for many Hurley flashbacks.

While you are here, you shouldn't miss Iolani Palace of the Hawaiian royalty just across the street, the only royal palace in the United States. Tickets for the palace tour are limited, so buy your reservation first, then come down to Cafe Laniakea to wait. If the tours are sold out, there is a self-guided tour in the basement museum of the palace; European tourists should make sure to see the case display containing royal order medals from across Europe.

The YWCA is also a stone's throw from the historic Ali'iolani Hale (a small museum is inside) and Post Office building, both Lost filming locations.
