“We stopped here for coffee on our trip. I had a delicious Americano with a little macnut flavor. We also got the sourdough banana bread and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it might actually be the best banana bread I’ve ever had in my life. Do yourself a favor and order it! 🍌🍞

There is an outdoor seating in a beautiful garden space, but it was a drizzly morning and most people were taking their coffee to go. It seems to be a popular with locals — the few people we chatted with in line live in the area. There was a steady stream of people; I’d call it busy but not crowded and the barista served us all at a steady paced that felt efficient. He acknowledged everyone as they walked up and didn’t seem too bothered when I asked a couple questions about the plants in the seating area. I was careful to only ask two questions since he was busy and I can talk a lot! 😅

Overall the atmosphere felt friendly and relaxed and I wish I’d had an opportunity to come back during my trip.”

“I have had a lot of pizza as it is one of my favorite foods. I even have my own pizza oven I cook my own. This is easily in my top 3 pizzas of all time. The base was amazing with good leoparding on the bottom. The crust had some great crispy crust. They are just 🤌🏼! I got the Kauai Beef Short Rib, and the toppings were just spectacular! Plus either the owner or one of the cooks has perfect music tone as well. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!”

“Always excellent!!”

“Awesome food! Service was great and the 2 neighborhood dogs were so sweet!”

“I visited about four times during a nearly month long visit to Anahola. Service was friendly and food top notch. I mostly got the cheese board. The price seemed high but comparing it to similar items on the east coast, the price was comparable considering the differences between east coast and Hawaii prices. The board had three good quality cheeses, salami, prosciutto, fresh berries, Kalamata olives, bread and other accompaniments. I usually sat at the bar and service was very friendly.”

“BBQ mixed plate & Hawaii Combo. Great prices. The Hawaii meat was awesome but the meat from the BBQ plate was tough and sinewy. Flavor overall was good but maybe a bit on the salty side. Kinda reminds me of the restaurant Mixed Plate that used to be in Hanalei. Unfortunately, we couldnt eat the salad. They put ranch on it. Our bad for not asking ahead of time. The kalua pork is good. The lau lau is melt in your mouth tender. Its good but not amazing. One combo plate can easily feed two adults.”

“visited on our honeymoon and loved the juice! our favorite was the starburst!!”

“Opened my box today, it smelled delicious!! Thank you for bringing me back to Kauai with your treats, they are wonderful!! 🥰”

“OK - where to begin. So my family and are were on the island for the holidays this year and were traveling to Hā'ena State Park one morning. Stopping by Trilogy for coffee and something quick to eat, we would up having the best Avocado toast we've ever had. Our group of 5 each had it and loved it. Since being home we have tried to recreate it, but it hasn't really worked out for us. On a side note, after we ordered our food in the store, my son noticed a hat for sale. We had a quick turnaround time and couldn't get back in line, so I told him we'd go back later that day to buy it. The day got too busy and by the time we arrived back in the area, the store was closed. I contacted the owner through Instagram a few days later to see if I could buy the hat and he was more than accommodating. I was able to get it and buy some coffee to be sent home to Pennsylvania. Everything arrived quickly and our overall experience with the food, coffee and kindness of the owner all added up to something we won't soon forget. Highly recommend if you are on the island. Thank you!”

“Excellent food friendly atmosphere quiet. A must visit”

“Simply the best. The staff is always so friendly. As someone who wakes up at 4am consistently for work and goes here quite frequently for a morning pick me up, anytime I come in to grab an early coffee at 6am, I am greeted with a smile.

The coffee and the food is excellent, the consistency in making the food taste exactly the same each time should not be overlooked. Exceptional.

I appreciate how kind each employee is and how great the food and coffee always tastes.

Kudos to this establishment.”

“Yummy! This was an absolutely pleasant surprise. I found them because their Ahi Wrap was featured on Food Network's: The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Admittedly, there were issues with our order with the food taking longer than normal, so we were offered a container of poke to say sorry! The fish was so fresh and delicious. I chose the fresh catch plate (Ono) and the dipping sauces that came with it were delicious, my mouth is STILL watering! Seating is limited outdoors, but definitely still warrants a stop. Parking is plentiful in the front and back of this shopping mall.”

“My husband and I have been eating our way through the menu and haven't had a bad meal ever! It's my favorite place to eat on the island. My personal favorites are the deep fried mac n cheese or fries poutine appetizers, the duck or lamb dinners and always the cheesecake with bacon toffee or chocolate pudding. Drinks are fantastic and I love the infused smoked effects that can be added or the sweet martini drink on the dessert menu that tastes like drinking a snickerdoodle cookie. They have the biggest selection of whiskey, bourbon, scotch and rye around. A definate must try! It's truly the BOMB! ❤”

“Good service! Friendly and excellent food!”

“This place was highly recommended by my patient that was part of a Facebook Group that posted about this place a lot and they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was good and the service was fantastic, but not so good that we made a second stop on our trip. Their service was quick too, so it's a good stop if you only have a short time to eat! Their menu includes: Truffle Burger, Veggie Burger, Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Kenji Burger (teriyaki, ponzu aioli, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, tomato & arugula), Misoyaki Fish Sandwich, Salads, Sushi Burritos & Bowls (loco moco, chicken katsu, misoyaki fish, and poke). There are 2 locations on the island”

“It is a healing garden rather than Farmacy. Astonishing views and abundant vegetation makes you forget you are on the Earth. Still you realized that you are not in heaven with the few stray mosquitos determined to keep the cycle of life running.
The owner of the place looks like he discovered the elixir of the eternal youth. He might actually did it, given that the products sold here are pretty good. The cream healed my wounds from crashing against the reef pretty fast. I would even eat it (all pure nature based with incredible aroma), if not the price paid for it.”

“If you only get sushi once on the island, this is where you should go. We have been coming to this spot for years and cannot say enough good things about the food and service. Daily fresh caught local fish served up in creative and delicious dishes in Maki Roll, Sushi Burrito, or Poke Bowl style.”

“The fish tacos, ceviche, and quesadillas are my favorite. Avoid the carne asada if you have high expectations. Nice people and relaxed environment open air feel but covered in case it rains 👍🏼”

“You want to eat here. Trust me. Convenient to the National park entrance, and easy to find. Two brand new picnic tables to sit and eat. The food was delicious and reasonably priced with good portions. After walking 9 miles in the park, these tacos were sooo welcome.”

“Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time 🤙🏽”

“If you’re looking for authentic Thai, look no further than Tuk Tuk Thai. Their Chicken Green Curry is a must-try—the curry is fragrant, the portion is very generous, and they don't skimp on the herbs. The basil was fresh and added such a wonderful brightness to the meal. The dish came with eggplant, zucchini, peas and green beans. My favorite spot in town!”

“Aunty Pon’s was delicious!! My husband and I shared the chicken pad Thai and spring rolls. The chicken pad Thai was a generous portion with more than enough for the both of us. It was light and fresh. So delicious!! We love Aunty Pon. Thank you for feeding us a delicious Christmas dinner!”

“amazing wines with excellent service!”

“Come here immediately after hiking for the biggest sandwich you can fathom. Extremely well made, family owned, and a relaxing outdoor dining experience. We got there late so there weren’t too many bread choices, but it didn’t matter. If you like a nice lunch sandwiches and a cold drink, this should be your stop after visiting the park.”

“Located just a few minutes from Volcano National Park, Big Island Tea is a wonderful side trip on your Big Island adventure. Our hosts, Eliah and Cam, have a wonderful food forest that's easy to get to and they are very knowledgable and hospitable. First, we took an easy walking tour of their five acre property that features not only tea plants but also coffee, a bamboo grotto and a wide assortment of other tropical plants. We were accompanied by their ball-fetching dogs and shown their tea processing house before sitting down to a tea-tasting on the lanai. While I'm not much of a tea lover, my friends were in heaven and I had a delightful time learning about different kinds of tea and the process of curing it. I left feeling like we had made some new friends and will be taking all of our visitors there for a unique and wonderful experience.”

“All 4 dishes the family recieved were delicious! The Thai tea was excellent!”

“This is a great little place to have a beer, burger, and bowling. Inside Volcanoes National Park at the Kilauea Military Camp. There's also an arcade and Starbucks coffee bar!”

“Annual Halloween costume contest was fun as always. They had designed 4 sweet and spooky specialty cocktails for the evening. I bought 2 drinks at once before the cocktail line got long. The dj played a variety of dance beats that kept the crowd moving. The empty cups were removed in a timely manner.

Food was available next door in the mess hall early in the evening.”

“My favorite place in Volcano village! They’ve got ono food and drinks, awesome staff and the atmosphere they’ve created is unmatched!”

“The night of the 42nd volcano eruption, we enjoyed a front window seat to the massive lava fountains! Created a great backdrop to a great meal. The restaurant is inside the very old classic Volcano Lodge; complete with wood fireplace. Staying in the lodge made it simple to have meals; we ate at the Rim two nights, one night at the more casual Lodge restaurant Uncle Georges Lounge. All meals were prepared very well.

For the first meal, we ordered a couple of Mai Tais that were nicely flavorful. For appetizers, I can recommend the Furikake Seared Ahi; gently seared with very flavorful colorful condiments. Plus, the portion was relatively generous as well.

The chef's entree special was an amazing local fish prepared attractively and tasting marvelous.

For our second night, the volcano was no longer erupting and the crowds of watchers had left so the meal was far less hectic. Did a less extravagant meal of Big Island Stuffed Chicken (great stuffing of Feta cheese and greens!) and it was a great choice. Straying from fish my partner went with the perfectly grilled 12 oz Hawaiian beef ribeye. Finished up with a fun crème brûlée with lots of burnt sugar!.

Not a restaurant to drive 1-2 hours to, but if you find yourself on the mountain, well-worth stopping for a great meal here. but try to get there when the volcano isn't erupting or you'll be trampled, pushed, and find nowhere to park.”
