This was such a wonderful meal! My wife & I traveled all the way down from Tampa because we are lacking sit-down, plant-based restaurants in our area. Ka Papa did not disappoint! Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent as well. Highly recommend, even if you aren’t plant-based!

I went twice in one week for brunch and dinner and was impressed with the food and wine selection. At dinner, there was only one person working front of house but she handled everything expertly and the food was incredible. Do not skip the creamy carrot soup, it’s the best carrot soup I’ve ever had.

So I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but my daughter is and wanted to try this place. Everything was amazing delicious! Everyone was so nice and I would go back in a heartbeat. If you’re a meat eater and willing to try something outside of your comfort zone, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
The eggplant dish was zesty and delicious. The Caprese salad with-cashew cheese was almost like being in Rome. Our waitress, Mariam was very helpful and her advice was spot on. Don’t leave without sampling the lemon lavender cake….we will be back,Vegetarian options: All vegetarian options.
Amazing atmosphere and incredible plant-based food. Definitely a favorite for special occasions and with non-vegans.

KaPapa is an amazing restaurant!!! I have been here at least 10 times & the quality of food is beyond outstanding. Very healthy but so delicious - you would never know it is 100% Plant Based/Vegan. It is a MUST. Small business, women/family owned. The Shitake Escargo & Sweet potato apps were unreal, & the Love Loaf & homemade Pasta Alfredo were showstoppers. I could eat here every day. Great desserts & drinks too.

Outstanding in every way. The food was delicious, fresh, and creative.
Delicious flavors! Everything we tried was fantastic! We’ve been trying to eat a more plant based diet and so we were very happy to find this place. Our visit today won’t be our last.
If you are a vegan it may be a good option for you. If you are not a vegan or if you're accompanying someone to this restaurant and you are accustomed to a meat friendly menu it may not be the place for you as you could leave hungry. The prices are high as they may have to be for the intricacy of the vegan/vegetarian dishes. The dishes were good in general but the portions tended to be small and light.
