Restaurants near Hakalau

“This little market is one not to miss if you want a taste of the Hāmakua life. Bring cash!! thereʻs no internet there to process payments, (but there is an ebt table where folks can get coins to spend from the card balance - make those gov $$ go hyper local!). Family friendly, all vendors sell local produce and products, no costco flippers allowed! Music, craft activites, art, games and local foods, including lots of amazing gf vegan options.”

“This is a hidden gem , the owner is kind and friendly. The avocado toast is delicious and the cacao latte was so yummy too! We had a great time talking with Sunshine, she is amazing and shared with us pure wisdom ??”

“Friendly employees and tasty Kula shaved ice. What they have (coffee and shaved ice) is good, but I wouldn't call it enough to qualify as a "general store".
Minus 1 star because they charge 3.5% extra for credit card usage.”

“Amazing find! Highly recommend if you’re out by Hilo! The owners were so sweet and helped us make our baumkuchen which tasted amazing! Absolutely would do again and was a highlight on this trip”

“Very friendly staff, they said any item in the menu can be done as vegetarian. We had Tacos de papa (potato tacos). The lady gave us their signature habanero salsa. All together the food was awesome. The lady at the counter was very kind has gave many pointers for vegetarian food in Hilo. Highly recommend this place. Parking was easy and you can also eat outside in the patio.”

“Love the friendliness of the employees!

Great selection of locally made products.

Love love love Chef Josh's sandwich selection!

Amazing food at Pi'ilani's inside the Onomea Market!!”

“This cute little shack is a Hawaiian classic near akaka falls. Nice menu with shakes, smoothies, wraps etc all using fresh local ingredients, many from their own farm. There's a small selection of clothing and hats and several picnic tables to enjoy your meal don't forget to look behind the shack for a couple more private picnic tables on the grass”

“Amazing fresh local fruit and friendly people.

“This place is fantastic! Incredible baked goods and such friendly people. So many jams and butters to try. It's an old building so not fantastic seating.”
