Additionally, the "salsa" that was provided probably came from a jar of Pace - had no flavor. Coming from San Diego, I guess I have higher standards as we have the best burritos and homemade salsa in the country, so I blame myself for even considering the meal. As far as the drinks, my chai latte was meh, and my husband's cappuccino was basic - ok, but not anything to write home about. For the price, not worth it. Much better to go local rather than eat in a resort.

First of all, although Yelp has separate listings, this is the same business as Hamakua Fudge Shop…read more I stopped in based on the generally enthusiastic reviews about the fudge, both here and on other sites. Though it hadn't been my original plan, I ended up getting lunch here, since most other nearby restaurants were closed. This involved a bit of a wait, as when I first arrived the high school kid at the counter said he couldn't make sandwiches, but the owner would likely be in soon -- though he also said she was inconsistent and he couldn't say for sure when. Happily, she was there when I stopped back half an hour later, having confirmed that the only other available lunch options were a food truck whose fare didn't much fit my mood or takeout from the local market. I ordered a turkey sandwich on whole wheat and iced coffee. The coffee was good. The sandwich was barely okay. It was billed as coming with cranberry mayonnaise, and while the mayo had a bit of sweetness, cranberry flavor was not readily apparent. The turkey was weirdly dry and crumbly and the bread was beginning to get stale. All it all it was edible, but that's about it. It came with a small banana, which was a nicer and healthier touch than the chips or pickles you so often get with sandwiches. As I sat there eating, I noticed a sign on the bulletin board, apparently left over from the days when Hawaii had a COVID-19 mask mandate for indoor establishments. The sign used fake language from HIPAA (misspelled as HIPPA -- a dead giveaway) to say, essentially, that they'd just pretend anyone not wearing a mask had a medical reason to not wear one and ignore the public health rule. Why they felt compelled to announce they don't give a bleep about public health a year after any such mandates ended I can't say, but I'm suffering debilitating "Long COVID" symptoms because of the recklessness of idiots like this. So I didn't buy any fudge, tempting as it looked, and instead satisfied my sweet tooth at another business.

Awesome sourdough round that we bought from their stand at Kameula Farmers Market in Waimea…read more So happy to find this as it can be hard to find good sourdough, and this one was soft inside and yummy without being too sour.

The food and drinks here are fantastic, but the service sucks…read more The Good: *Tuna Panini: Incredible. It was so excellent that I couldn't stop eating it even after I was completely full. *Sunrise Juice: Delicious, bright, and refreshing. *Açaí Bowl & Smoothie: My husband ordered both and said they were excellent. The Bad: *The "Salad": The panini comes with a side "salad" that is literally just a pile of loose leaves and dressing. It is not a salad. Either do a proper side salad or don't bother serving it at all. Most importantly- The Staff: The entire experience was completely dampened by the staff. The walmart version of Ryan Cabrera who took our order was incredibly rude and cold. Both he and the woman working with him seemed genuinely unhappy to be there - honestly, they looked like they would be happier declawing cats. My husband waiting for our order could hear them complaining the entire time about how little they are paid. Look, it makes sense why you have an attitude if you hate your wage, but I am here on vacation from MY job where I work hard. I didn't do anything to deserve the cold shoulder.Go for the food, but expect a side of miserable service.

Loved it!! What a cute place and the cutest lady running it!…read moreWe all thoroughly enjoyed our super freshly prepared pad Thai (w/chicken and tofu), parang curry, kolbi chicken, chicken satay and probably a couple other things. We had a group of 10 people so I kind of forget what else we ordered. The place was recommended to us by our kids' group zip lining guide (which we had done earlier the same day), and he was completely right! We are from Kansas City, KS and the Thai dishes were very different from the pad Thai and the parang curry we are used to eating here! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and if you can hit the place in time (places in Hawaii were closed at odd times and days- we think and were told has been due to the pandemic and staff/ supply shortages). So anytime we found a place to eat, which could seat us when we needed a place, we considered ourselves lucky! If the food was good, that was a bonus! Yelp continues to be our resource for food when travelling 99.9% of the time, and it has not disappointed yet!

Disappointing and Overpriced: A Captive Audience Deserves Better…read more When you're staying at a hotel with very limited lunch options, you naturally hope the few available spots will step it up. Unfortunately, this deli completely misses the mark, capitalizing on a captive audience while delivering subpar food at embarrassingly overpriced rates. The menu options are incredibly limited, and what they actually serve feels like an afterthought: * The Sandwiches & "Flatbreads": The sandwiches are noticeably dried out, as if they've been sitting in a cooler for days. Meanwhile, the "flatbreads" are a joke--they look like a minor step up from a childhood Lunchable. * The "Salads": Calling these salads is a stretch. They are $16 for a box of plain leaves with hardly any other ingredients, and they include zero protein at that price point. It is incredibly frustrating to pay premium hotel prices for food that lacks basic effort and freshness. If you are going to trap guests with limited choices, at least offer something decent. This place seriously needs to step it.
