My husband and I really love this little place. My husband had the avocado sandwich which he would not stop raving about. I had the poke bowl which I enjoyed too. I appreciate that they have a lot of food from local farms like their own. The sugarcane juice is delicious and a must try. They have a bunch of baked gluten free and vegan goods that they offer. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars, is that they are not completely vegan. There are some dishes with goat cheese. I do highly recommend this place, and I would go back again as this is my second time here on vacation.
heheh
The entire menu can be made vegan and/or gluten free on request. Their cheese replacement is a house made maca nut spread. The gluten free bread is made in house as well. Many very interesting smoothie options too. Lots of classic Hawaiian ingredients on display on the menu!

Loved the poke bowl. Burger was all right, although I would have liked it with fewer micro greens.

Local, organic and family owned. This place is a gem and a gift to Hilo town.

Love this cafe. Visiting from Australia-this is the freshest, healthiest food đ± n the Big City slabs! Great atmosphere, off the âtourist trailâlocal cafe.

I've been here at least 5 times now and and for the $, the food is really just meh. I can't think of anything special about anything I've tried there. 2.5 stars. Will not go back again. Bummer.

I was not particularly impressed with this place and considering all the rave reviews, felt all the more disappointing! We both ordered a taro burger with different sides (poi and tabouleh) and werenât overly impressed. It lacked a lot of flavor and despite the tomato and sprouts, it didnât taste âfreshâ. I tried ordering the labeled vegan baklava and was dismayed when she told us that it had honey in it, I donât know why it was labeled as vegan if it had honey. Iâm glad she told us, but it took away from the experience right at the start. Despite our dislike for the food, the desserts were super good. The brownie, cookie, and banana bread were delicious. I must have come on a bad dayâ the only thing that will bring me back is the hope that I can join the rave reviews and have a better experience.
We had the Raw Nori Wrap, Spicy Pickled Pepper Sandwich with a side of Tabouli, Passion Fruit, Orange, Guava Juice and their Baklavas. The food was delicious and fresh.
