Great food right near Hilo airport. Delicious and unique popover sandwiches. The pop over is cut in half and each half is filled with tasty things; we got breakfast sandwiches which had scrambled eggs veggies and had browns, and also a couple of the little fruit puffs. Way more food than expected and friendly service!

More than anticipated! Delicious vegetarian sandwich, too! The popover bread is unique and delicious. The staff are cool and kind. They also have ono local classics… The flavor and care put into the food is of much higher quality than the cafeteria-like ambience suggests ; )

This was our first visit and it is our favorite place in Hilo, now.

My husband ordered the Breakfast Sausage Popover and I got the Breakfast Flatbread.

We were blown away by the flavors!

I was trying to eat my flatbread before it was cool enough, but I didn’t care! It was delicious!

And my husband tore up his popover sandwich. He also asked for extra house sauce, which really made the sandwich pop!

The interior looks a little well-loved, but I took it as a sign of success through genuinely kind staff and good food.

The sign says they were established in 2019, and after enjoying their breakfast options, lattes, mango puff, and triple coffee scone, I can understand how they were able to survive covid!

The vibe was comfortable, the food was 10/10, the service was impeccable, and the pastry selection had me drooling.

Stop by Popover for a delicious meal, tasty pastries, and good coffee.

We stopped by Popover on the way to an event in Hilo and we were very impressed. The breakfast sandwiches were large and filled to the brim with toppings. The sauce they put on the breakfast sandwich is amazing. Despite it being filled up with toppings I suggest putting it back together like a sandwich for eating. We ordered ahead online and only had a 10-15 min pick up time. Staff were very friendly and joked with me as I picked up the order. I highly recommend trying them out for your next breakfast on the go.

We didn’t have a great experience. We were attracted to their sandwiches but was told the wait was 20 mins due to a large party ahead (7 sandwiches). Ended up getting 2 scones, one oatmilk matcha latte and one mocha. The scones were so dry and they tasted like one week old. They also put whole milk in my oat milk matcha latte which we ended up throwing away due to allergens. All this was after waiting for 15 mins (2 drinks). The cashier lady was very nice, but she was definitely stressed out managing the incoming orders. It was not a café set up to take more than five people at the same time.

Very gifted baker here. I love their Butter Horn Danish, selection of donuts, and small pastry puffs.

They have much more than a few breakfast items and the staff is super nice! Highly recommend them if you like old world style baked goods.
