    White chocolate mac nut frappe!

    Best frappes ive ever tasted. The young girl (don't remember her name) gave such great customer service and recommendations that I'll definitely be coming again every time I island hop to Hilo. White chocolate Mac nut frappe and zebra frappe is the best!!!

    A must stop when on Hilo. Local coffee in Hawaii is the only way to go! Local coffee with the best service and served conveniently changes everything. The location makes it easy to access. Hawaii is called paradise because of the coffee, chocolate and people. You get the best of all three at this place. Not jonesing for coffee? I definitely recommend the chai. Handcrafted and Amazing. They have breakfast bagels as well.

    $7 mocha frappe. so tasty!
    Wanna L.

    St*rbucks could never! Delicious and reasonable! For $7 I got a triple shot mocha frappe with whipped cream. We also had a hot chai latte. Very yum! I saw the line of cars wrapping the building. I parked and went inside. Small, clean and bursting with energy! This team is a well oiled machine. Hilo, take care of this gem of a business!

    Was our first time trying here, Just Cruising Coffee was on our must do list since we flew down for football. Didn't know what to order so I asked for a recommendation and it was so good! She made me a macadamia nut, white chocolate espresso latte *chefs kiss* so good! I wish I could have this daily and try everything else. Super cool setup and super friendly staff, all of them had smiles while taking orders and working inside making drinks.

    I always loved their coffee but was pleasantly surprised by the food. Great lunch spot before or after a swim.

    5/5 - A must-stop coffee spot on the Big Island! We stumbled upon Just Cruisin Coffee during a morning drive and it instantly became one of our favorite finds! I got the Toasted Macadamia Nut and my husband had the Caramel MacNut--both were smooth, perfectly sweet, and full of rich island flavor. You can taste the aloha in every sip. The drive-up vibe is super chill, and the staff was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone needing a caffeine fix with local fla

    Chicken Mac nut and pesto sandwich and bbq chicken sandwich

    I was able to stop at Just Cruisin coffee before going to the airport. Be prepared to wait if you don't call your order ahead of time the service took a while, around 30 mins. It wasn't too crowded but when I first passed the other day on a Friday it was crazy busy. I definitely would recommend trying to go on a weekday and get the chicken Mac nut with pesto sandwich and the macadamia nut milkshake! They have so many other flavors of milkshakes to choose from.

There was a large pile of dirty dishes stacked up in the area where folks are supposed to place used plates, etc. They probably need more staff or this might just be their vibe. I had a spicy kalo burger for $20. The bun on the bottom was toasted (great) but the bun on top was not toasted and was crumbling apart as I ate it. The pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seed garnish was delicious, and inspired me to make my own kabocha stew at home. The food is tasty. The cleanliness could use some improvement especially given the prices. All that being said, it is a popular spot. The parking lot was full. The employees looked busy. Just be forewarned that service levels & cleanliness may fluctuate.

We tried the simple breakfast plate and a breakfast sandwich, and both were tasty and really hit the spot. Since we went on a weekday, it wasn't too busy inside, which made for pretty quick service.

We didn't think of anything when we saw it the first time. By just looking at the name of it though, my immediate reaction was, "Is this a kombuchas bar??" Well, it is but it's not just kombuchas they serve; it's more than that. The breakfast/brunch dishes they serve (although they don't have a huge selection) are quite diverse. I do incorporate a lot of vegetarian/vegan diet into my daily meal routine so when I saw the Verdant Vegan I simply couldn't skip it. As my daughter and I usually split a plate when we dine together she agreed to this option of mine. Glad we did. This plate has all sorts of goodness included in it. Sautéed veggies, house-made lentil walnut chorizo, ginger beet kraut, fire-roasted jalapeno cashew crema, fire-roasted tomato salsa, and it's topped it off with sprouts. This whole thing comes with either purple sweet potato home fries or red rice (which we went with the purple sweet potato fries and ended up getting a side red rice. We also got the side kimchi and one egg sunny side up.) And we shared a 16oz Ceremonial Matcha latte as well. This vegan plate is way more than vegan. It's mighty as hell. For those who are still not sure about vegan options will definitely second guess it for something that isn't vegan/vegetarian. It's truly nutrition packed in so many different ways. If I lived close to this cafe, I would eat here once a week to enjoy this delightful meal. I am not kidding. I enjoyed the matcha latte very much although my daughter rated it as "okay". She likes her matcha in a very particular way so it unfortunately didn't impress her. This is not to say that she disliked it. She said it wasn't bad either. This place is a "walk in, order upfront, pick a table where you want to sit and one of the staff will bring your food to you" style cafe. Water is self-served. Once you are done with your meal you'll put your dirty dishes in the designated tub. I like this efficient style of serving food. This place has great vibes as well. A bit hippie-ish where bright dark colors such as purple and red are incorporated into the interior. There is even a stage where bands perform on certain days/times. Quite cool-looking. If you are visiting Hilo soon then put this place on your "must visit" restaurant list. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and quality food will entertain you for sure.

And you need a reservation. The tiny restaurant only has three two person tables (the other party of four had two pushed together). And it is only open Wednesday thru Saturday, 7:30am- 2pm. I made the reservation for my friend's Birthday lunch by text. It is conveniently located by the farmers market, and there is plenty of free parking in the area. The space is airy, and on our visit, decorated for Easter. We were immediately greeted by Paul. The restaurant is staffed by him, and one other employee. The menu is short, and all the better for it. Paul explained the menu and gave us recommendations. I was already interested in the Pasta de Marco, which appears to be a part of a regular menu. Angel hair pasta, lightly fried, tossed with fresh veggies and pesto, and lightly toasted baguette on the side. We also had the tuna, two ways, and papaya salad. Both were perfect, incredibly fresh, all ingredients balanced, beautifully presented. Paul had us end with the Belgium waffle. I've had waffles in Belgium, and these were the best I've had. Crispy, soft, with berries, whip cream, and powdered sugar, it didn't even need the (warm!) syrup. This experience felt like being a guest in the chef's home. Paul treated all customers as a friend, he was funny, relaxed, and personable. I also personally appreciated it is the safest restaurant for me to eat at as he hates bell peppers as much as I do! The only disappointment when the meal ended. Mahalo!

He is always busy and has a rule with no Togo orders as far as I know. The service is good, and the servers and Paul himself is very friendly, laidback, and easy to talk to. Be respectful of his rules, he's a nice guy and it felt like he really cares about the food he makes. Playing is very nice and simple in a good way, has a very clean aesthetic. The food itself is extremely fresh, every single thing felt very refreshing to the palette and not heavy. It was one of the pricier spots me and my partner went to in Hilo, but it is extremely popular and the quality of the food is nice, as I said, I think this is the place in Hilo so far that I've eaten at with the "freshest" tasting food. I had not yet tried his Belgian waffles, but I saw they were served to another customer and they looked fantastic. After our meal, Paul also highly reccomended them for next time. Definitely would like to come back next time we are in Hilo, it was one of my partner and her Uncle's favorite spots (they are local to Hilo, so it's gotta be good haha). They both vouch for the ingredient quality.
