This little gem just on the northeast side of the park in volcano village was such a great lunch stop! The ranger at the entrance station recommended it and I'm so glad he did. My husband got one of the lunch specials (spaghetti) and I got a sandwich (ham and Swiss). They do not skimp on portions here! The spaghetti and garlic bread (plus a side of mac salad) would have been plenty for both of us. But I'm glad I got the sandwich. So simple, but so tasty. Just a hefty portion of meat and cheese, a dense layer of fresh veggies, and another layer of meat and cheese. Nothing fancy, but just what I was looking for. My husband said the spaghetti was delicious--one of the best meals he's had on the island. I can attest that the garlic bread was yummy. Also, their Mac salad is the best we've had, too. It's eggy and wonderful. The ladies in this little kitchen were working hard and did such a wonderful job! If you like hole-in-the-wall and local gems, stop here! read more

We stumbled upon this gem while searching for places that opened early (hello East coast time difference) and let me tell you...it was so good, we went back that afternoon! We had the sun dried tomato quiche with bacon and egg croissants and we couldn't take a picture because it went straight to our mouths! Then we went back for some dessert and had their pies. Y'all don't sleep on that quiche though! Going back in the morning! Loved to support local and Christ followers! Thank you for being true to who you AND serving delicious food! read more

Stopped for quick breakfast on our day in VNP. Service was fast, and the place is no-nonsense. But the food was spectacular (bacon and egg and cheese croissants, and pastries). Person in front of me got the last cinnamon roll, so my daughter ordered something else in its place. But as we were eating, the owner brought us a fresh cinnamon roll - just baked, and no charge. Great food, great people and great prices. read more

What a lucky find! We were starving leaving the Volcano NP and headed to the town of volcano for lunch. We saw a sign advertising this spot. Every day they have specials. We were there on a Monday and their specials were Spaghetti and Baked Chicken & mushrooms with rice. The kids settled on spaghetti but by the time we got to the front, they ran out of spaghetti and their second choice chili. So kid 1 got the pastrami sandwich and loved it except for the sweet pickles. Kid 2 and Husband got the breakfast croissant. And proclaimed it delicious. And for $4 a great deal! I got the baked chicken special and it was exactly what it should have been - pure comfort. Very sweet spot with all outdoor seating. Felt really safe! read more

A great spot near Volcanoes National Park for lunch. There aren't too many restaurants or eateries so expect a line. The prices here are reasonable and there is a rotating menu of specials throughout the week. The sandwiches here certainly hit the spot after a long hike. They let you customize it with different kinds of breads, meats and vegetables. The line might seem long, but that's because they're making the sandwiches to order right after you order before serving the next customer. read more

Great spot for food! Limited choices around Volcano. Solid sandwiches- loved all the veggie and good stack of meat. So nicely packaged for a hike. Great prices. I would have gotten sandwiches here before they close (late afternoon) to eat for dinner instead of eating at the nasty restaurant at volcano inn- bleh! Sandwiches:5/5 loads veg, fresh bread, good amount of meat Homemade chili- kids and adult liked: 5/5 Pork stew- kids and adults loved 5/5. Call ahead and food ready. Cheap! Yes credit card. Nice benches outside to eat. Only bummer is watch the hours open and plan ahead. Sold other items- muffins, croissant, yogurt cups, beverages read more

Stopped twice so far this visit and great food both times. Once breakfast - once for sandwiches- Don't let the outside fool you. Lots of outside seating and this locally owned small cafe deserves a visit - or three - We had cake for dessert- which was a purple one - we both enjoyed that one. Prices not bad and the food is made after you order - no pre made sandwiches. Great to stop in before the park for breakfast and hrs sandwiches for when in the park so you don't have to leave. read more

Food is good and quick and very reasonably priced. I would definitely give it a try if you are near. read more

This little sandwich shop is a treasure in the Volcano Village. After a morning of hiking, it was great to stop in and get some delicious food to take back to our rental cottage in the back of the village. This also makes for a great breakfast spot if you are headed out for adventuring and need to fuel up. Eagles' is an affordable option. Food is definitely made with Aloha! Thanks! read more

Good place for a quick bite near Volcano's National Park! Also, the cheapest meal we had while we were in Hawaii -- it was less than $7 for a sandwich. I had a pastrami sandwich with every vegetable that they offered. It was delicious. read more

Fried rice for breakfast...heck yes! The location close to volcanos national park can't be beat. Friendly service as well!

What a great stop for lunch after spending the day at the volcanoes! We had sandwiches and they were so good and so fresh. Fresh bread, super fresh vegetables and a nice shaded spot to enjoy. Zero complaints. None. read more

As great as I'm sure the sandwiches are, I don't need a serving of Jesus alongside with it. The place is littered with bible passages and Christian music, not a welcoming environment for ALL. Just up the road is the Kilauea Lodge with a great breakfast with real vegetarian options. Skip the sermon and go to the lodge instead. read more

What a little treat this place is! Veggie options galore! Sandwiches are awesome! The vegetable chili isn't really chili but it IS AMAZING!!!! Super inexpensive too!! read more

Great breakfast spot close to Volcano National Park! We stopped two days in a row! Highly recommend the fried rice bowl or breakfast sandwich! Great family owned place! Can't recommend it enough! Stop in you will not be disappointed or leave hungry! read more

There is no ambiance. I had a turkey & provolone sandwich with oatmeal white bread. The bread was great! The rest of the sandwich was average. My husband had chili - distinctively average. The staff were not rude. They also were not friendly. However in Volcano your options are very limited. read more

Their sandwiches were made perfectly Togo in ziplock bags for our trip to Volcano NP. They were yummy and filled the spot. I highly recommend supporting this local establishment for your trip to Volcanos. Super handy, highly recommend. read more

Simple down-home food. We have eaten at so many very expensive restaurants during our 2 weeks in the Hawaiian Islands. We have had many poor meals. So it was wonderful to come to this very simple restaurant & have really great food. Their sandwiches are amazing, plus I feel like I am eating good wholesome food. Also enjoyed the soups on their menu. Some of the more expensive restaurants could take a lesson from this family owned spot. read more

My fiancée and I were staying in Volcano and were on our way to Punalu'u black sand beach when we decided to pick up lunch sandwiches to bring with us. I ordered and ham and turkey sandwich with all veggies and he ordered a turkey sandwich with lettuce. The staff is super friendly and outgoing and they give you tips and pointers as to where you should go. The sandwiches are reasonably priced, large and filling, and travel very well since they give you the Mayo and mustard on the side. We tasted the sandwiches the penultimate day of our trip and we're back again on the last day of our trip for another. Both experiences at this cafe were pleasant and I would recommend for people looking to pick up a quick lunch to go but they also have ample seating area outdoors. read more

I have been to a few islands since moving to Oahu in 2017. My wife and I are always on the lookout for amazing restaurants. This is THE BEST sandwich/soup place we have found. Sandwiches are HUGE and the soup is on point! You'll notice that any review on here that isn't flattering is because they have Christian music, or someone said something like "God bless you". Listen - if you don't love Jesus, or are an easily-offended snowflake, this probably isn't your spot. If, however, some Christian music won't deter you from the best sandwich in the world, then charge on intrepid soul. You WON't be disappointed! read more

While visiting Volcano State Park in Hawaii, we stayed at a lovely AirBnB and Eagle Lighthouse was right down the road. It doesn't look like much but the food served was delicious, and prices extremely reasonable. Unfortunately, they were closed few days later when we return for more. read more

Love this place. It was closed when we visited last 2 years ago. Glad to see it up and running again. Great place to stop by early in the morning before heading into Volcanoes National Park. Eggs, Portuguese sausage were on point. Spinach quiche was tasty as well. I'm not sure what more you would want to need for a quick stop. Thank you very much for serving and hosting us!! Love the Tua and Buckner jerseys!! read more

Love this place! Volcano is an awesome town and they make the best sandwiches. I highly recommend stopping here on the way to the National park. read more

Great service and reasonable prices right outside the National park. Order inside and eat outside on the picnic tables. Deli sandwiches, cooked specialties and quiche. Highly recommend for a delicious lunch. read more

Unique offerings, friendly service. We tried the fish burger, a dessert item, and a sandwich. Seating is all outside. The inside is quite claustrophobic. The fish burger was surprisingly good. it included a generous fillet of whitefish smothered in a béarnaise-like sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes. Bun was very soft. It was $10.50. The sandwich was huge! Easily enough for two people. We picked the three seed bread which seemed to be locally baked. The bread was crumbly, but we put it in the fridge prior to eating. All ingredients were very fresh. We picked pastrami as our protein option. It was not very greasy. The Guava cake was mild, not too sweet, with fresh whipped cream. A very pink way to end the meal. Overall, good quality ingredients, interesting options, friendly island service. A solid choice for lunch in the area. read more

If you are headed up to the Volcano National Park and need breakfast or lunch, this is an awesome stop. It's a couple minutes before the main park entrance, just off the main highway. You can dine on patio or order to go and take your lunch and picnic in the park. The breakfast menu was cheap! 2 Eggs, bacon, ham or Portuguese sausage and a potato for like $5 and change. We started by ordering 2 sandwiches. HUGE SANDWICH ALERT! You pick your bread, meat, cheese, veggies and such and they craft on the spot. They even wrap them and put in a ziplock bag with napkins and spoons for the sides on to-go. These were massive, 12, maybe 14" wide sandwiches and a good pound and a half when done. We coulda and should split a sandwich! Sandy's were $10 and blow away most delis. They have desserts, baked goods,chips, a cooler full of drinks and even some pre-made wraps. There were veggie and vegan options too. We had pastrami sandwiches and the macaroni potato salad. The side dish size for a single serving was perfect and the pastrami was nice and fatty like it should be. For restroom, just follow the yellow line around to the back. A definite must stop and stock up destination before headed to the volcano park! read more

I've read alot of the yelp reviews of this place and i don't think they are wrong they are just looking for one thing, which they very solidly and are missing what they do great. I was with the family for nearly a week and probably ate her nearly everyday, sometimes twice. The sandwiches and soups are all solid, not remarkable but good and fresh. The Hawaiian, local food was exceptional, having had a lot of Hawaiian food on the islands I thought it was incredible. Salty and sweet at the same time, just as it should be, the shoyu chicken and lau lau pork were amazing. If I could get anything like that here i would love it. As for the religous, Christian material, sure they have it and are clearly religous, i don't understand why this is so offensive to people, when i go into a Jewish deli or a Middles Eastern restaurant I dont get offended by their religion on display as long as they respect mine. No different here, was always treated with respect. If you need sandwiches and a snack for a hike this is good, if you have time to eat a somewhat messy, delicious Hawaiian meal, this place is great. read more

The food was straight forward simple but good, staff was all so nice. Of all the stops we made to different places in volcanoes this has to be one of our favorites. read more

Conveniently located near Volcanoes National with few other options in the area on this given day. Good options, quite busy but fast. It was pretty much the only option we had for an affordable breakfast. I had the croissant sandwich and the croissant wasn't quite the right vehicle for the bacon/egg/cheese but it was still good. read more

We stopped here after a trip to the Volcano National Park and before heading into Hilo. It is located just minutes away from the park and is the perfect lunchtime stop! They have cute little picnic tables outside so that you can enjoy your lunch in the nice weather. Now trust me, don't judge a book by it's cover. It doesn't look like much when you walk in the door. In fact, it is VERY small and it is hard to gauge what you'll be getting but trust me and trust Yelp on this one! :) We ordered a fully loaded turkey sandwich and it was HUGE. We saw one go by and decided to split it, along with their homemade Portuguese Bean Soup and of course, Mac Salad. I can't get enough of the Mac Salad when i'm in Hawaii! Our lunch was absolutely incredible, inexpensive, and quick. We'll definitely be stopping here again on our next trip from Kona to Hilo! read more

Service was SO SLOW. It wasn't that busy and we had to wait a long time. When we walked in the counter person didn't even look at us and asked our order. It was confusing because she looked busy but she was wanting our order. No greeting. My croissant sandwich was good but my partner ordered the rice bowl and asked for Portuguese sausage and they got ham. We didn't want to wait to have it corrected. read more

The owners are Christians and decorate their cafe with bible quotes. Sandwiches are large! They also have daily specials that are served until they run out. The sweet and sour spareribs were so good. Prices are reasonable for a tourist hotspot. I would recommend this restaurant! read more

Perhaps I had food from them on a bad day, but my experience was not great for how well they were rated. Being on the Big Island, I was surprised when the coffee I ordered came from a large vending style machine (push-button coffee) vice any form of local coffee bean actually being brewed. That was the first flag - not employing at the least an old-fashioned Bunn coffee maker when in the land of coffee. The second was when the woman working casually noted they had no white rice when I ordered it from the menu - only brown rice - (still only about 30 minutes since opening and not busy) at a Hawaiian breakfast location. This is a fundamental staple of almost all Hawaiian foods so it was surprising to say the least. The last straw was when no one asked what style eggs for the food and resulted in a scrambled like omelet patty. I've been to a lot of plate lunch and breakfast places across Hawaii over the past couple of years living on the islands - this one has drifted from what makes that kind of food sought after and is a hard pass for me in the future. read more

We were staying at Volcano Village and wanted to grab some breakfast. Found this cafe on yelp so decided to check it out. It really is a hole in the wall and very unassuming but the food was excellent. My fiancé and I shared an order of fried rice with egg and bacon for breakfast. It was unexpectedly amazing! Not sure what the secret is but it was the best fried rice we have ever had. Very large portion too. We shared it and still had leftovers. Highly recommend this spot if you are in the area. read more

Ate lunch. The lua lau was really bland. The only good item was a tasty fish sandwich. Not a lot of options in Volcano but the awesome thai place down the road is a much better option read more

Loved the uplifting Christian music right as we walked in! After a sunrise walk in the park this was the perfect spot to visit for breakfast! We had a delicious bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and a fried rice breakfast bowl. They both hit the spot and were very generous portion sizes. To top it off we had the Kau coffee they served! Loved this quaint place with super friendly service! read more

A perfect place for humongous sandwiches. We stopped by here for lunch while we were in the big island. It had started raining pretty hard and everything was foggy. You could not see in front of you. We ducked into Cafe Ohia, had a great meal and left just in time as the fog cleared. The ladies who were here are nice. And I enjoyed my sandwich. Would be back! read more
