This was our first- time coming to this place and we had the worst customer experience from one of the workers. This young guy with light blue eyes who was in the front taking orders and payment, he has a very bad attitude and he talks to customers in a very rudely way. Other Customers before us also had to wait more than 20 minutes just for their food orders. They took their own sweet time, which is not good for a cafe like this who sells coffee, drinks and food all similar to Starbucks. We haven't gotten our drinks order until after 30 minutes of waiting, which was horrible. Never again will we support a business who is all for being healthy and all who actually have workers who aren't friendly, more rude and have only two people working which isn't good due to long wait for our orders that supposedly. Bad customer service ever.

Pretty good

Really wanted to like this spot based on the reviews. But the food was absolutely awful. The vegan burrito with a tofu scramble was inedible due to being saturated in turmeric. Definitely the worst tofu scramble ive ever had.

First time here, I ordered the French dip and mango magic smoothie. The French dip was not good had mostly fat in it and meat didn't taste like it had been slow cooked. The smoothie was not even sweet, with banana and pineapple in it, lady wanted me to add extra ingredients to make it sweet. Wouldn't come here again nor would I recommend for locals or visitors to eat here!

We got a panini and a burrito and a smoothie. Not the most flavorful ones I’ve ever had but it’s Hilo. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-28

Took over 30 minutes to get 3 sandwiches made with a microwave and panini grill. Food was ok but too expensive for microwaved food. Also saw the woman who was making our food on her phone. The two staff seem to care less about service or their jobs. Won’t be back

Wonderful little spot!
The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The café is cozy and beautifully designed, with a charming garden terrace that has a few outdoor tables — perfect for a relaxing meal.

The menu is diverse, and the prices are very reasonable. I had the veggie sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious.

Both the woman at the counter and in the kitchen were warm and kind — their hospitality made the experience even better.

This place left a really positive impression, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
