15 Best Cafes near Keaau

“The food was great. The music was a bit loud for my taste and a hindrance when trying to talk across the table. Also, we tried to sit outside away from the music and were told we must be a party of 4 or more, which we weren't.Parking: Restaurant located in a shopping center so there was plenty of free parking.“

“Cute and clean little cafe. We got French toast and avo toast and a smoothie - all very good. But the best part is the owner, who is small business entrepreneurship incarnate... Walked us though the menu and best items and made us feel so appreciated for visiting. A true hustler, in the best way lol. Go visit!“

“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.“

“The BEST meal I have ever had. The atmosphere is amazing and Paul is such a personable and passionate chef. He puts such a creative twist on all of his menu items and his ingredients are incredibly fresh. I could not recommend this place enough!!“

“So glad we happened to find this place in Hilo! The food was amazingly tasty and filling. We ordered a pancake and one of the spicy pork dishes. This was one of our favorite meals on the island. There are a handful of tables available inside, and they were almost all taken while we were there. Obviously everyone knows how great this place is!Would highly recommend eating here!“

“Great restaurant looking over Hilo bay. We took out two items as we couldn't get a reservation. Hilo sunset sushi was so good with poached shrimp, spicy salmon, gochujang aioli,cucumber,sesame, sweet potato chips and tempura crisps. We also ordered side of crab cakes: it came with nice fresh salad and tasty salad dressings. We loved that too. Next time we would like to sit in the restaurant and enjoy the foods over a good view.“

“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.“

“Wonderful acai bowl, everything organic and fresh, love their health minded philosophy and such kind, friendly service. AMAZING. Such a treat. Will definitely be back again. Best acai bowl I've had in a very long time! Can get several fruits mixed in and lots of healthy add ons/proteins.“

“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.“

“Best wine, loved that it's farm to table . I was really impressed when asked what Ranch did there beef come , and our waitress had the name of ranch owner ? chicken katsu is to die for. My entire family was Impressed food is definitely delicious ?. Been there 5-6 times so far. Mahalo white guava see you soon. 5-7 “

“Cute little spot tucked inside a local clothing boutique offering coffee, loose leaf teas, and blended drinks along with fresh squeezed elixers/"mocktails." Friendly staff, clean restrooms and great prices too. Enjoy your choice of beverage in their beautiful garden outback! Wifi avail and don't forget to browse the clothing and jewelry for sale in the boutique.“

“First of all...Customers like Kelsie and JC, are ignorant and entitled POS!!! Cafe Boba, has moved to a NEW location!!! That's RIGHT....A NEW LOCATION!!! Of course with ANY new location, there are ALWAYS kinks to work out in the beginning. Customers should expect that. Let's not forget the fact that Cafe Boba, like MOST BUSINESSES around the country, have been operating with SHORT STAFF since COVID-19!!!They try their ABSOLUTE BEST, to accommodate their customers and they also try to explain the reasons for the wait times. But could you imagine having to explain WHY they are taking so long to EVERY. SINGLE. CUSTOMER??? It would take them even longer to complete orders. So Kelsie...maybe next time, don't EXPECT ANY of the restaurants to NOT be busy on a SATURDAY DURING CHRISTMAS PARADE!!! YOU....set yourself up for disappointment. . Also, what kind of person doesn't come prepared KNOWING that?!? Is this your first time to Hilo's Christmas Parade? Are you NEW here?And JC....WTH happened to "I'm not coming here again." From your review 4 MONTHS AGO?!? You too, set yourself up for disappointment. Again, the COUNTRY is short staffed THANKS to COVID, and this is a NEW LOCATION!!! Grow a brain Kelsie and JC. And if you don't know, why don't you ask ANY business in Hilo how the hiring is going for them. Don't be ENTITLED POS!!! The world DOES NOT EVOLVE around the 2 of you or ANY disgruntled customer that has nothing better else to do but CRY about wait times. Go home COOK RICE or better yet....MAKE YOUR OWN DRINKS AND FOOD!!! PS: I'm not the owner or any employee. I've been there a couple of times when customers have nothing better to do but complain. I'm THAT petty. This is a GREAT establishment and they give AMAZING service. If you think you could do better, then APPLY!!!“

“Had the best food here yesterday with amazing service! We had the bbq chicken flatbread and a tuna popover sandwich which were huge portions and tasted super fresh. Had to go back for more of the little puffs for dessert :)You guys are amazing.“

“This was the best BLT sandwich I have ever tasted. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was spectacular. My kid really liked the 'there is a $5 fine for whining.' This cafe had really good french fries too. I highly recommend this cafe for a lunch stop.Kid-friendliness: There was a kids menu too!“

“It is a great bakery offering a wide variety of pastries and desserts. The staff is incredibly welcoming and readily answers any questions about their sweet treats. During our visit, they generously offered complimentary samples of the brauni.“
