Journey Cafe Big Island

Get the loco moco, omelette, poke, and macadamia soft serve. Enjoy the amazing free iced tea bar. It is a little bit pricey but is worth it. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-23

Tried this place on our last day in Kona and the omelet was delicious. The owner was super nice as well. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the meals were about $25 each so my daughter and I could only afford to try one dish. It was nice inside, great vibe, and loved that there were a few games to choose from for my daughter.

That’s a direct quote from my daughter. She had the strawberry crepe. We also had both omelettes which were amazing and filled us up (the gravy one was particularly filling if you’re hungry), an açai smoothie, and you could tell the soft serve was amazing from the samples they gave us. Meals came with free tea /lemonade bar. Overall amazing, try it!

Loco Moco was insanely good, vegan ice cream is some of the best you will ever try. Best meal i had in 2 weeks total on all different islands. This place will be a core memory for my whole family. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-15

Can’t get over how expensive and sad the cold brew and Açaí bowl was. For $30, I got a terrible cold brew and a super watered down Açaí bowl. Do yourself a favor and don’t come here for the açaí bowl, go down the street, for the same price you get 2X the amount and it’s a lot yummier, not melted down and filled w sugar - had to pay extra to get a topping (honey not included). Their customer service is excellent though, so I am sad writing this review but can’t get over how both items were disappointing.

Warm chocolate chip cookies and tacos are delicious. Must haves.

Delicious!

We went back twice for their amazing vegan omelette! Can't wait to return to the big island to have it again. The service was amazing!! 😁

Great place to stop for a bite, whether you’re vegan or not. I was wonderfully surprised by how fresh and flavorful all the ingredients were. Vegan omelette tasted better than one made with real eggs. Also sampled the vegan ice cream and it tasted very good - just like the real deal.

The kona shake and cold brew were great albeit a little pricey.

The kona coffee shake was phenomenal! It was so yummy and refreshing. The seating area outside was so cozy and the perfect spot to sit.

When we got there we received a small sample of soft serve: vanilla dragonfruit! It was so good! Of course we got more of it! The actual food was a little greasy, sounded healthier. We got the strawberry avocado tacos (3) and the artisian roll which was cut like sushi. We expected something rolled like a burrito. Was good, but a little greasy. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Also sell some handmade goods like shirts and jewelry. We would only come back for the soft serve!

Best food I’ve had in Hawaii! Would highly recommend for everyone. I think lots of people avoid vegan restaurants if they’re not vegan, but this is worth it for everyone.
Highlights were their tacos and their ice cream.

First time in Kona and headed here straight from the beach. As soon as I was 👀 looking over the menu. One of the friendly staff members offered me an ice cream sample.. he smiled and said yes it’s vegan! 🤩😍! I said absolutely and then devoured the sample and ordered the omelette I’ve always struggled to make vegan eggs but this was delightful light airy texture filled with fresh tomatoes potato’s and some sauce. I do wish there was more sauce as it was delicious 🤤 then had to order a cup of ice cream on this hot 🥵 Kona day! Their hibiscus 🌺 tea was refreshing as well. The staff is super friendly. Highly recommend

Tons of fun options and have never had a bad meal here. A little pricey but to be expected in Hawaii with such thoughtful vegan dishes.
