Roots Café is a unique and community-oriented restaurant located within the Kokua Kalihi Valley Health Center. Open only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, this café offers a constantly changing menu of fresh, locally-sourced dishes for under $10.
The food at Roots Café is prepared by students, showcasing their culinary skills and highlighting the use of seasonal, island-grown ingredients. Customers have raved about the eggplant sandwich, served on a large flatbread with soft, flavorful eggplant, tomatoes, and avocado, as well as the artfully presented salad with tender lettuce and microgreens. The café also offers delectable desserts, such as the moist and delicious starfruit upside-down cake.
Beyond the delicious food, Roots Café is praised for its mission to connect the Kalihi community to the land, sea, culture, and family through the provision of healthy, accessible meals. The café offers produce at a 50% discount for EBT customers, making nutritious options more affordable for the local community.
