    I visited this 2-week old juice cafe / kava bar on my first trip to magical Kauai. It's a really cool space with good people, delicious drinks, plant medicines, and hand carved works of art. And it looks like they have frequent events, mocktail hours, etc. It's as much a cafe as a sort of plant medicine drink apothecary - I recommend chatting with the staff to determine what's going to serve you best based on your body's needs that day. There are so many options on the drink menus! I don't even know where to start. I had 3 drinks throughout my trip, and bought some dried Kava, dried Kratom, and local honey. I didn't have the opportunity to eat there but the menu looks fantastic! They offer a healing broth that would be perfect if you're feeling a bit rumpish from the demands of travel. I will have to try the Luau Stew and Green Papaya Salad next time. Such nourishing ingredients! I highly recommend for healthy, nourishing, medicinal food and drinks! And good vibes.

Tried the locally made lilikoi pie and it was very delicious and refreshing with immaculate ingredients. They had a chocolate one too that I wanted to try but didn't get a chance to. Hopefully they have it next year when we're back for our 5th annual trip! They also carry Alexandre Family Farms dairy which is very hard to find on the island. It's the only place I've seen it at on Kauai. We tried a little locally made gourmet truffle that was rich and yummy. They also sell locally made sourdough bread loaves and focaccia that we love! I've visited their location in Koloa and liked it as well. There's always a nice lady checking us out no matter when we go or which location we go to. Thank you to all at Hoku Foods!

And you can vote with your dollar and keep money local. They have all sorts of drinks, snacks, frozen meats, bulk items, beer, etc. It's always clean, stocked, and organized. The staff typically have a nice attitude, are friendly and efficient! Especially considering this is a favorite spot for some of Kauai's finest parents that allow their unsupervised children to run around and scream all day. Other fruits and nuts can also be found frequenting this store so give the staff some love.

    Kauai Juice Co. was such a fun stop during our trip! I ordered the Starburst (strawberry,…read morepineapple, orange), and it totally reminded me of Jamba Juice's Strawberry Surfrider -- one of my all-time favorites -- so I was instantly obsessed. It was super refreshing, flavorful, and perfect for the island vibes. They offer two sizes, and I went with the smaller one, which was honestly perfect. It comes in the cutest reusable glass bottle, and they let you return it (washed) for store credit -- such a great eco-friendly touch! But honestly, it's also such a cute souvenir that you might want to keep it. The shop itself also carries a variety of other items, so I'll definitely be coming back to explore more during our trip. The location is great too -- there's plenty of street parking and a nearby parking lot, and it's surrounded by other cute shops and foodie spots, making it a great place to walk around and explore. Overall, such a refreshing and aesthetic spot -- highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I tried the Mai Tai this trip and it's so good. They're both on the sweeter and tarter side. My husband tried the Mana and he said it's pretty good for a greens juice. He mentioned there's no sweetness to it, so definitely get this one if you're looking for something more of a healthy greens juice choice. The parking can be a little limited sometimes, but their service is really quick. They also have cute merchandise in store.

    We stopped in for dinner and started with a couple of cocktails, which were both excellent. The…read moreatmosphere was really nice, especially with the outdoor seating--it made for a relaxing place to enjoy the evening. I ordered the burger, while my wife went with the fried chicken bowl. My burger was just okay. It was advertised as a smash burger, but the patty didn't really have the crispy edges or texture I'd expect from one. On the other hand, my wife absolutely loved her fried chicken bowl and said it was packed with flavor. One of the highlights of our visit was the hospitality. We mentioned we were celebrating our honeymoon, and the owner (or who I believe was the owner) was incredibly friendly and even let us pick out a pastry to celebrate. That thoughtful gesture really made our visit memorable. Great service, good drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience overall.

    For a place called Living Foods you would expect to see more foods that are actually "living" (i.e…read more plants). Sadly however, they only have one single bowl that is vegan and 2 appetizers (hummus and taro). No vegan entree, and not even a salad that wouldn't require changes to be vegan. Since the bowl has taro too, you can skip the taro appetizer and you're left with a hummus where you get charged for extra crispy bread. While the food quality was good, it was very bland and uninspiring. On top of it all, they add an extra 3% charge for using a credit card. Service was impecable and Renee really went above and beyond but unfortunately there was not much she could work with given the very poorly crafted menu.

Parking can be a hassle: backing out of highway side parking can be considered an extreme sport, and hunting for a stall in the private lot may require circling a couple of times.

As an involved community business member here on the island I was shocked by the woman's behavior. I called in advance and I'm pretty sure she said her name was April. When I went in she was in the back on the computer with her child which was fine All I said was Hello April and she yelled at me and told me "don't call me bro" which is weird because she is woman. I didn't say that and I didn't deserve to be yelled at. She always has a bad attitude when I come there. Very sad. Terrible attitude and highly presumptuous.
