For a visitor, Hawaii's tropical climate means leeward coasts stay drier and sunnier year-round, with the wetter season generally running November-March. Island cooking leans on freshly caught seafood, poke, plate lunches and tropical fruit. Travellers arrive on nonstop services from the US mainland, then hop between the main islands by plane or ferry. English and Hawaiian carry most daily conversation, so getting by is straightforward for most visitors. Cafe Pesto fits into that landscape as a restaurant where a laptop or a book can accompany a drink.
