    Peeled fresh rambutan/lychee relative

    Helpful service and a local market that serves the local farmers. The produce is fresh and ripe. I loved that they had meats and salsas from local farmers and artisans. It is easy to miss but situated across from Rebel Restaurant. Organic micro greens were amazing.

    This little store is a TREASURE of high quality local food! You must stop in, especially for the best fresh fruits and veggies. Per their name, everything is truly FRESH and local! All grown, caught or made locally on Hawai'i Island. Their produce selection is top notch, super high quality, AND at better prices than the bigger grocery store (Choicemart) up the road. Big beautiful avos, baby! Gorgeous oyster mushrooms! They offer local Sundog breads (soooo good) and even fresh pizza dough in the fridge. They also carry everything from frozen 'ulu (breadfruit), to local jams, to coffee. My favorite treat is probably the rotating selection of fresh juices and bougie chilled coffee drinks in the cooler. They also carry things that I (as a vegan) won't buy, but can appreciate that they are sourcing all locally - eggs, meats, etc. The owners are a lovely, warm, hardworking young couple with a ton of community spirit. Definitely don't miss this sweet spot in Kainaliu village!

    Great variety and so fresh!

    Came here around 9am on Saturday. Wasn't too busy, we were able to order right away and find…read moreseating. The place is super comfy with really cute decor. And their staff is super nice! First off, their macadamia ice cream is really really good! Creamy, thick, sooo tasty! We also ordered: Epic Feisty Tacos - 5/5 - comes with three tacos and spicy sauce. The tacos are super tasty and perfectly balanced spicy, savory, tangy flavors. The lemon herb chik'n is also so good, you can't even tell it's vegan. The tortillas are a bit on the crumbly side, but still equally tasty as a taco bowl. Definitely would recommend this dish if you love spicy tacos! Epic journey nachos - 4/5 - the toppings on the nachos taste similar to the feisty tacos. The chips are more like baked tortillas with a crispy exterior and softer center. Journey Classic Crepe and Blueberry macnut crepe - 3/5 - The crepe itself was a bit thick, I'd describe it as more of a pancake than a crepe as crepes should be super thin. Still pretty good though all together, fruity and sweet. Latte with oat milk - 4/5 - a bit on the bitter side but not a bad latte! Asian salad - 4/5 - good salad, vegan meat is well seasoned and everything pairs well together. It wasn't very Asian tasting though, more like a Mexican-Asian fusion salad.

    I was originally a bit skeptical about vegan chicken tacos, but these were surprisingly delicious…read more That's saying a lot, coming from a mostly paleo eater! I particularly enjoyed their strawberry shake, which was so refreshing. I noticed that they also have a coffee one, which means I'll need to stop in again next time I'm in Kona. in spite of walking in during a busier time of day, service was quick both while putting in the order and waiting for our food to come out of the kitchen. The decor is a visually fun and engaging mix of greenery and art designed to keep diners feeling cooler in Kona's heat. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Even if you're not committed to vegetarian or vegan food, there's a lot to like, especially if you're looking for something light, clean, and sweet.

    My husband and I love pizza, so on our last night on the Big Island we decided to grab pizza before…read moreour manta ray night swim. We ordered one small pizza to go and were happy to see how many options they had. Unfortunately for us, a lot of them included pork, which we don't eat. Still, I picked one pizza I was really curious about, and I was pleasantly surprised when they had no problem swapping pepperoni for chicken. That flexibility is always appreciated, and it never felt like we were limited just because we don't eat pork. We didn't dine in, but I noticed they have a really interesting cocktail menu, which fits the island vibe perfectly! To be honest, my husband wasn't expecting much, pizza isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for, right? That's what we assumed. But wow, we were wrong. About 40 minutes later, back at our hotel (after a shower and everything), we finally sat down to eat, and the pizza was still amazing. Crunchy crust, great texture, and full, balanced flavors. We're no longer on vacation, but we still talk about this place and easily rank it in our top three food spots from our Big Island trip, which says a lot, because we're serious about pizza. If we ever come back to Hawaii (and I believe they have locations on other islands too), we will 100% be getting pizza from here again. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're visiting Hawaii

This is an open air restaurant and at first I was hesitant because of maybe having to deal with flies but we didn't run into any issues. There was live music playing. We ordered the farmer's plate of veggies to accompany the muhammara dip (which came with 4 pieces of wood fired bread). It was flavorful, fresh, and light. My husband ordered the skirt steak and I ordered the ahi steak. We also ordered the frozen fruit punch twice. This was plenty of food for us so we skipped on dessert. Everything turned out delicious to us and we quite enjoyed our evening.

    One of the best dining experiences we had during our 3-week trip through Hawaii!…read more I had been looking for Mediterranean food through our stays in Oahu and Maui, but wasn't able to find any til we landed here on Big Island. We went during sunset and it was sooooo beautiful. We ordered: * the 3 dips - loved their muhammara!! Plus the bread is so squishy and soft it absorbs the flavors of the dips so well * burrata salad - very refreshing and well seasoned. I believe it's peach or melon served with it, a very nice touch * grilled octopus - loved the tomato(?) sauce it was served with, and the way they grilled was perfection. Reminded me of the octopus I'd have in Kerekennah, a small island off the coast of Tunisia. Fresh & well seasoned. * Cacio e pepe + chicken: really appreciated how they noticed my husband and I were sharing everything, so they had split the pasta into two bowls. Deliciously made, with it had a bit more sauce tho and that the chicken wasnt so dry. * inside out smores: YUMMY. loved the combo of the graham cracker ice cream with the roasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce + inside the marshmelllw too. In all we spent $190 for 2 people including tax and tip (no drinks). Sure a bit on the pricier side, but we had been spending $90-110 for very average or not even good meals across Hawaii anyways, so didn't seem too bad. Parking is free! Valet only, but give your ticket when you get the check to get a 3-hour validation stamp.

    We found this place as we were beach hopping and wanted something quick nearby…read more We got the Kamuela and the Avo-cobb-o and both were great options! I actually made a few substitutions on mine and the workers were happy to oblige. The service was really good and they were super efficient. They heat up the protein in the microwave so my steak was a little dry, but overall a very solid choice. Both were really good and very affordable!

    Sorry, but this place is basically a lesser version of Subway…read more I ordered a spinach wrap and... yikes. The wrap itself tasted old, and the filling was just a sad mix of veggies (and I use the term veggies loosely because they were definitely not veggie'ing). We gave it a shot because it included garbanzo beans, which sounded promising, but they were bland, flavorless, and matched the overall lack of effort in the wrap. Just no. Vegetarians: do yourselves a favor and skip this one. There are way better options out there. Service: The woman behind the counter seemed totally rushed, even though we were literally the only people there in this ghost town of a food court. She just kind of tossed the ingredients on the tortilla, wrapped it up, and that was that. No care, no flavor, no thanks. Ambiance: Not much to say: it's a food court that felt totally empty and lacked any energy. Hard pass. Would not recommend.
