“Popped into this cafe and was warmly greeted by a friendly employee. Several customers were already lined up and it didn’t take long for others to join us. No pressure but two girls got our orders quickly and my chai was delicious. The pastries looked super tempting and sit down customers had only positive comments. Although small it is quite charming and welcoming. Coming back soon.Parking: A pick up spot is located directly in front of the cafeKid-friendliness: There are options for kids so parents need no worry.“
“Drinks were delicious & boba was fresh & sweet just how i prefer it. The honeydew tasted like you were biting into a piece of fruit, the banana smoothie was smooth and creamy and the kumquat lemonade was a bit tangy but was still really good. Service was nice & quick! Would recommend“
“We didn't find a ton of great options in Hilo for dining, but were pleasantly surprised by this great spot! There was something for the fish-eating lovers, and the vegetarians, as well as some great Kombucha! Quick service and outdoor dining option.“
“Great menu for dairy free, gluten free, and vegan. The kombucha is on point and above. The root beer is a bit mind blowing. Tastes like root beer without the sugary grossness. All seven that we tried were wonderful. My husband wasn't fond of the Palo Santo but I thought the flavor was really unique. The fish tacos and the chicken tinga were amazing.Bathrooms are nicely kept but please make sure to help them keep it that way by cleaning your mess.“
“I visited Hilo for a weekend and are here twice in that time because it was so good. I had the pesto sandwich and it was really SO good. Other members of my party had nori wraps and loved it, avocado sandwich and loved it, I can’t remember what else but also loved it. Friendly service. Clean bathrooms. And I got homemade fruit leather to bring home to my kiddos. Hopefully it makes it because I might eat it all! They also have some hats (??) and other locally made items for sale.“
“The food was excellent. We had scallops and fish. And of course onion rings! Everything was Panko coated and cooked to perfection. Liz waited on us and she was just fantastic! Thanks for everything! You absolutely must stop here for a meal. Highly recommend.“
“Overall 5 Stars: Cute little cafe to get your milk tea or fruit smoothie fix! Friendly staff and delicious drinks! Definitely a must visit place in Hilo.Drink 5 Stars: I have tried their milk tea and several of their fruit smoothies (avocado, soursop). They were all great and should be tried, but on this trip I had the Strawberry Guava smoothie which was perfect on a hot summer's day. The smoothie was blended just right with a perfect smooth consistency. The sweetness was perfect for my taste! Not too sweet but a perfect balance with the fruit.Service 5 Stars: The staff there is super friendly and the service is quick.Ambiance 5 Stars: The cafe was clean and inviting with cute decor in the wall.“
“the Hilo Brewing Company, which has a nice selection of local beers. From the outside, apart from a few posters, this brewery is somewhat nondescript.You pass the chain link fence through the warehouse and on the left you will find the tasting room, which contains a small bar where you can enjoy the island's delicious creations. Here you will be greeted by extremely friendly people.We had “Flights of 6” at the beginning. A small tasting session of the beers available in the brewery.I thought the Mauna Kea Pale Ale was the best. MyMan the Hilo golden Al. A little hunger in between meals is also taken care of. There is a small stand in the brewery with tacos and borittos.Hilo Brewing also has a nice little gift shelf with high quality t-shirts, glasses and hats and a few other items. You can also buy the beer here to take home.“
“A old school drive in where the servers walk-up to your car to grab your order! Many different choices of drinks and sandwiches. We got Breakfast Bagels, your choice of many options of bagels, with egg, cheese and choice of protein (ham, sausage or bacon). However, I found they were just that. Pretty bland and simple. And we loved our lattes! Cute logo, too!“
“I loved it!! The spice level is way better than a lot of other places I went to and was actually spicy. There were many vegetable in the Pad See Ew which we appreciated and the service was pretty quick. :)) Place is a little hard to find, we almost missed it, but glad we found it. We came in with low expectations and left with big smiles! ?“
“Gluten free granola and dairy free ice cream. The bowls are as pretty as they are delicious. The music is ono and will put you in a relaxong state of mind as you sip on the Hawaiian. The smoothies are fantastic. There may be only one person working when you come so please use your Aloha spirit and be patient. I do not think they serve sandwiches anymore.“
“I really like this restaurant and if I go to Hilo again I will definitely go here, I ordered the Moco Loco's one with the pork patty and then the other with bacon, They can put the egg on top either scrambled or sunny side up, The dish also comes with a side salad, They offer two different sizes I ordered the small which is plenty of food/ the location is in the heart of Hilo, It's a very old building it's an old place, They offer a lot of different traditional Hawaiian common foods and that is the reason why I really like this place, The service was really excellent All the young girls that work there are knowledgeable and very helpful ~ which is extremely difficult to find.“
“I went to the 2nd location and the atmosphere there is amazing. Quiet, chill, and spacious. Fresh baked goods and you can smell what's baking from the back. Would highly recommend checking out there 2nd location if you have not been yet.“
“Compared to other places nearby it’s a 4.5, compared to other cafés it‘s a 3.5 so I think a solid 4 is fair.The beverage were way too sweet and we didn’t ask for added sweeteners, we had Chai and Ube.The avo toast was good, but the bread is very flat and not what I‘d call sourdough. The smoothie bowl was good, but it did look a bit messy.“
“Great place to eat, so many burger options. Food is always fresh. And the staff is very friendly.Vegetarian options: There were a few vegetarian options ?Parking: We arrived later, so we found a spot right in front?Kid-friendliness: There was a family there with children.“
“This was the best shaved ice that I had on my vacation. Yes it's kind of pricey but totally worth it! Just make sure you order a good flavor. I got half strawberry and blueberry with the haupia cream (coconut whipped cream) on top which was definitely the star of the show. I could eat a whole bowl of that by itself!!! My husband got the coconut flavor with chocolate shell topping. He said the coconut flavor didn't really have much flavor would definitely not recommend that flavor.“
