I also appreciated that she mentioned they have smoothies after my kids asked for one, I hadn't even realized they offered them! The food was absolutely amazing. The beet salad was delicious, and the seared tuna on top was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right--tender without being too firm. The fish burger was also outstanding, and the bánh mì was just as delicious. I've been buying their Jun kombucha from the store for a while and have always loved it, but finally dining here made me appreciate this place even more. Everything we tried exceeded our expectations. I'll definitely be coming back every time I'm in Hilo!

We had an amazing vegan dish here for our little brunch we did in mid morning earlier today…read more We saw this restaurant yesterday when we were browsing Hilo a few nights ago. 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.

Many reviews mention dishes being too spicy, which we found very easy to navigate. There is a spice scale on the menu as well as a warning that clearly indicates that their spice gets very high. When going to a Thai cuisine, please be mindful of the fact that their "mild" may differ from what you consider to be mild. That does NOT mean their food is bad nor does it deserve a bad review... Thai spice is different than American "spice" so please order accordingly.

It seems like they are under new ownership. There is plenty of parking in the lot out in front and the cafe has boho chic, witchy decor which is totally my vibe. There are even cute journals, smudge sticks and other merch for purchase. I purchased a smudge stick with an amethyst crystal. I ordered and Pumpkin Pie latte and a Pastrami sandwich. The pastrami sandwich hit the spot. It was served on, soft, sweet bread with some sprouts. The pumpkin pie latte was so refreshing and yummy.

I suggest a crispy crust and adding more of a rich flavor to the ingredients will make it pop. As everyone loves pizza.. This one was a big disappointment in flavor. 2 star Vegetarian sandwich with chickpea garlic mayo Bland. Try making a real garlic aioli. This upgrade would make those ingredients amazing.. It's super hard to destroy a vegetable sandwich. But that chickpea aioli did destroy the aioli concept. It tasted like a no flavor hummus. 5 star for the Durian smoothie my favorite here and going to just stick to the smoothie here forward Grateful for Sweet Cane for at least doing there best to offer High frequency food
