    Cute little gem!!! Friendly staff and decent prices. Came for the Dole Whip and was not disappointed!

    Great place in Hilo to get real Dole Whip! Friendly cashier as well. Hours are limited so one may have to work around it but IMO it's well worth it.

    Dole whip. One with li hing mui and one plain.

    Awesome little place with a great purpose in the Hilo community. Service is friendly and top notch. They have a cute outdoor seating area and fun menu. Tiki Turtle Cafe serves a great variety of sandwiches, snacks, and Dole whip. This is the perfect place for a light lunch! So far we only tried the Dole whip, but we will be back to give their tasty sounding sandwiches a try!

    Cute little cafe just across the street from Rainbow Falls! After a few days of heavier food, we really enjoyed these lighter sandwiches and the Dole Whip of course. I had a turkey on Hawaiian sweet bread. The sandwich also came with veggies, sprouts and cheese. There are several different kinds of sandwiches to choose from as well as sides too. Love the colorful mural and the friendly service. Make this a stop when you need some lunch after viewing the falls.

    Delicious, healthy food! Fast service, got my food in less than 10 minutes Friendly staff There are a few tables available if you choose to eat there. Also, if you're a Hospital employee, you get 10% off!

You'd think that as the owner of a small business, he'd want to support the many local artists to create promotional material and consider customer comments with some grace and humility, but I suppose this isn't that kind of place. Genuinely embarrassing for the owner and the company he's representing.

Since my time away, they have beautifully renovated the interior to have a sit-down booth area. I love the abundance of nene decor honoring our state bird, along with high quality chocolates made in Hawaii. The store clerk was very knowledgeable and described how each cultivars of chocolate differ in their taste profiles. We had the horchata 50% milk chocolate bar, and I don't have a picture because we devoured it in one sitting! Overall, Puna Chocolate Co. is an elegant, delightful, and elevated experience that rivals big names like Big Island Candies and Dandelion Chocolates in San Francisco. Highly recommend in stopping by!
