"Mac and cheese" (squash pasta)
Lauren D.

As a non vegetarian, I was actually quite surprised with this Umeke Market, a healthy vegan/vegetarian lunch spot because I normally don't feel full or enjoy that type of food. I got the chili, fake chicken, Mac and cheese and vegetable curry. The chili with the rice was the best part of the meal. It was hot and had a lot of flavor! The fake chicken didn't taste like chicken at all.... More like dried/fried chewy tofu. The curry was just so so... I didn't eat all of it and didn't like that it wasn't served hot. The "mac and cheese" was actually squash pasta and was kind of terrible tasting. Too mushy like for me and didn't quench the pasta craving. If I were to go back, I would only order a bowl of chili rice! That was yummy! They have lots of indoor seating which is nice when it's hot out. They don't offer bathrooms though. If you want to stop by but don't work downtown, park at Alii Place, parking is only $.75 per half hour. Service was very friendly, it's an order at the front and pick up your plate lunch then go sit down kind of place.

Pono Chili is so good. Everything is good!
John H.

The best! The people are very friendly and everything I've tried has been so good. The breakfast and lentil burritos are the best I've ever eaten anywhere. Everything is so flavorful and the portions are very good too. One of the best things about eating here is that it is plant based. Since I've started eating more plant based food and less fast food, I've already lost weight and it feels great. I can't say enough great things about this place.

BLT WRAP SO GOOD only $12 has Vegan meat pickles tomatoes lettuce carrots and the special sauce is amazing. It's not dry at all.

Nice, friendly workers. Didn't realize it was a vegan place until I looked at the menu. The ambience was super chill and there was AC and a decent sized dining area. The plates were huge! I shared two entrees with a friend, the falafel gyro came with cashew queso and chips and then the nachos with chili and veggies and mock chicken. It was really interesting, if you're a vegan you're gonna love this place! If you've never had vegan food, I think you'll like it but you might not LOVE it. The mock chicken was good, my friend didn't care for the texture, I thought it was delish. I also really like the cashew queso. I thought the falafel gyro was kinda dry and would've been bomb with that cashew queso inside. All in all, I thought this place was great and I'd visit again to try other things from the menu. If you're looking for a healthy, cool (AC) place to sit down for lunch in downtown this is it. I also wanna try their smoothies next time!

Nachos
Reginice C.

The staff were super cool; and once my friend disclosed his gluten allergy, he made sure to reiterate what items were cleared. I don't have a gluten allergy and ordered nachos topped with chili and mock chicken. The "chicken" had a bit of sweetness to the batter, the chili was delicious, and the other sauces and toppings brought together a unique flavor for nachos. These were some of the best nachos I've had! The portion was huge; enough for two to share! I'll definitely stop by Umeke on a future trip to the city.

Tamale Bake (special of the day)
Michiko L.

Great place, great food and super friendly staff. The special today (Tues) was the Tamale Bake. Oh my!!! If you ever come when it's available, you should try it- now that's if you love cornbread. It comes with a side of salad or rice or half of both. The prices are reasonable for vegan restaurant. We will come again. Tip: as a visitor, I didn't know where to park. They suggested ALI'I PLACE. See my picture for parking address.

Tasty Tuesday 12/17 Tamale Bake  This is cornbread filled with bell peppers, organic black beans, local organic mushrooms, & organic corn.
Ayumi G.

I haven't been Umeke for a while and just thinking about it yesterday; I decided to try today's special when I woke up this morning. I rarely eat out alone because foods just taste better at home. But I have a few places that I would go and enjoy dishes that I don't usually eat or new dishes that I don't even know it exists. This place has everything I care about. They use local organic fresh produce supports local, sustainable lifestyle; and yes, most importantly anything I had so far, very tasty. I haven't try any breakfasts so that's my next list of things to explore. It's very reasonably priced for the quality you get. Plenty of seating spaces inside and outside of the shop. It's usually busy when I go there, but as the line gets longer, someone comes out and take your order before you reach the cashier. You can order online and request the time of pickup as well. Highly recommend to try if you haven't yet.

Leakage from the top.
Aria F.

I am so grateful this place exists. I feel the aloha just as much in the meal I enjoyed today as I did when I first tried Umeke Market years ago. Aloha is in the service and the ambiance. This place is a gem that is worth making the trip to downtown earlier in the day. Mahalo for being here! My only recommendation would be to get spill-proof containers for the liquid foods. My plate lunch was leaking all over on the way home

Don't just enjoy the rainbow you can fill your health with it as well... Located in Bishop Square 'Umeke Market is 100% Vegan offering Breakfast (8am-10am) Lunch (1030am-2pm) with everything from Salads, Sandwiches, Nachos & Tacos, even Build Your Own Plate Lunch all which is quite overwhelming my indecisive noggin so I did go for the Portabella Sandwich. This yummy sandwich is loaded with diced portabella mushrooms which was marinated in balsamic sauce and topped with tomato lettuce, vegenaise and dairy-free provolone all on your choice of ciabatta roll, multi-grain bread or pita bread. All sandwiches comes with choice of organic greens or organic tortilla chips & queso (which is made from cashews) I got mine on a multigrain with chips & queso. I tell you what a delightful bite so light yet full of flavor I savored each and every bite...though whenever it didn't fall apart lol! It's not the large portabella cap but baby Bella mushrooms so the choice of pita may be the way to keep it all contained as if it didn't keep falling out the leaf lettuce was a difficult bit which I though since the mushrooms are in bits wished the lettuce was shredded to make it an easier bite. Though I'm not vegan I do fully enjoy the freshness it all brings and I wasn't used to the cashew queso and after a few bites was craving some fresh salsa that I know would've paired best with the mushroom sandwich. Certainly parking is a challenge in this neighborhood and parking at Ali'i Place is recommended. There's so much going on here including art decor on the wall is for sale as well. The staff here is so enthusiastic and friendly, please follow them on Instagram at @umekemarket and if pictures are worth a thousand words it would leave you breathless... Thank you!

Tofu Poke
Kristen K.

We walked in and was greeted with the Aloha Spirit and beautiful smiles. We were first timers and tried the nachos, burrito, Tofu Poke and mixed grinds.. It was so good I didn't get to take a picture of the burrito. We felt full and satisfied. The sitting area is nice they have local music playing. When you leave they greet you on your way out too. They have trash and recycling bins which is awesome.

Burrito

Downtown lunch options are essential to "loving your job." Right?! Bored with lunch and the workday may not be so wonderful. Tried this spot for the first time. I am not vegan. I appreciate the vegan lifestyle. This place is delicious!!! I was with two friends for lunch, hours are open until 2pm. Great menu options, and we peeked online before visiting, so we had an idea of what to order. They gave great recommendations! Pictures don't tell the yummy story, so go try this spot. Salty, so I did feel thirsty later, but it's worth it. The forks broke. They said it was an issue with the batch received.

Perfect schedule! Combine with perfectly delicious food and perfectly trained staff with tons of Aloha!
Paul K.

Wow! Rarely can you combine healthy and delicious in the same sentence but this store is amazingly delicious and incredibly healthy! The staff are full Of Aloha and their prices are in line with reality! Not to mention, they're perfectly located for everyone downtown to be here to pick up or eat in the café style restaurant this class enclosed. Hope to see you here someday.!

Chris Y.

If you're in search of tasty, healthy plant-based food, go to Umeke Market Natural Foods & Deli. It's located in downtown Honolulu (entrance is closer to Hotel & Alakea Street corner of Tamarind Square). There were a few customers ahead of me, allowing time to view the menu and entrees. As part of this year's Restaurant Week food-a-gogo, there were 3 offerings. Picked the kalo coconut curry which came with one side. They are so nice to allow half brown rice and half salad; balsamic dressing was sooooo good! What a great lunch: good tasting and good for you! Planning return visit to try kalo stew, portobello sandwich, and baked falafel.

Parking is the greatest challenge though there are a few street metered parking fortunately they are right beside a municipal lot that's just the fraction of the cost though on Sunday all street parking are free. Though there are some cute outdoor spot to enjoy some fresh air the indoor vibe ain't so bad either with artificial turf along with huge windows that bring in the light with bench seating does give that picnic feel while you enjoy and cool of in the air conditioning. What did I enjoy...well thanks to Nadine and some gift certificate she had it was a generous morning of fresh pineapple juice with breakfast sandwich on English muffin all vegan and plant based was just so light and refreshing which is a great way to start my day. The service is always so friendly at this family owned and run biz as they still keep to their amazing menu and vibe that they have here is just so nice and relaxing place. Thank you!

Three of us got the Iron Man Sandwich (only one of three got "spicy" and it was apparently not super spicy, so spice wimps like me could probably handle it), and my mother got the cheeseburger. The three of us with the Iron Man liked ours, but my Mom wasn't impressed with her burger. My husband also got a banana and peanut butter smoothie (the "nutty banana"), and my parents got the Nutella chocolate milks, and everyone was pretty happy with their drinks! The location itself is pretty cute and small, and appears to be operated solo by the lady we assumed to be the owner and eponymous "Blondie." She was really friendly and helpful while we were trying to decide what we all wanted (we can be a slightly indecisive bunch). I thought the wall of little index cards illustrated by various patrons showing where they were from was a really nice touch! We chose to sit indoors, since outdoor tables that would take four were occupied, but it might be noisy out there with the proximity to the main road. Inside the music can be a little loud, too, but the lady behind the counter turned it down some for us, which was kind of her to offer. Overall a decent little vegan sandwich shop with a great smoothie and drink selection! I think if my husband and I are about town on our own on our next visit to the islands, we might stop by again, but my parents will probably opt for other things given that my mother never gets beyond a first impression. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a nice vegan meal and beverages!

We watched the workers assemble the bentos and matcha dessert flights. So much concentration and effort is put into each item! I was able to order one of the limited Kahi drinks. It's made with amazake, Yuzu purée, unsweetened yuzu soda, and matcha from Japan. The combination sounds odd, but tasted great! There were bits of yuzu with rind on the bottom of the cup.

Such a bad life choice for sure! I'm a pescatarian and I avoid dairy. So, Juicy Brew is literally made for me with their completely plant-based menu. And, I can't even explain why I never checked them out before, but we all make poor decisions. I'm committed to rectifying the error of my ways with many future visits to this locally owned oasis of vegan goodness! It's rare that I write a review after just one visit to an establishment. But, it's rare that a place blows my mind and taste buds with the very first mouthful. But, yes, it was love, maybe even obsession at first bite. Seriously, happy tears came to my eyes when I sunk my teeth into the BEST Reuben sandwich I've EVER had. It was a culinary masterpiece! Pumpernickel bread from The Breadshop sandwiched the crispy mochiko tempeh, layered with a robust carawat kraut, paper-thin cut marinated beets, a robust Russian dressing, and the house cheez sauce. The bread was thickly cut and -- a superb design consideration because it held together the abundant filling well. It was served with a small green salad with fresh cucumbers. My mouth is literally watering writing this review. My gluten-free niece had the Reuben version as a salad. The vegetables were expertly cut. I mention this because you could tell every dish was crafted with care and prepared with love. They treat their ingredients with respect and reverence creating meals perfectly balanced in taste and texture (so important for vegan food, any food really). My other niece opted for the beautiful Hirata Buns. The colors of this café favorite really stood out. Eating is also a visual experience, and Juicy Brew knows that. Soft, sunny yellow, house made buns cradling the crispy orange-yuzu 'chicken,' drizzled with a bright and heaty kimchi aioli and accented with a sprinkling of green onions and bubu arare accompanied by a bed of house pickles and slaw. The menu offers sandwiches, salads, soba noodles, macaroni and cheese and more. There is a fridge in the dining area featuring ready-to-go meals like miso sweet potato salad, tofu poke, and orzo pasta. It also holds a selection of Aloha Sweet Remedies drinks. I opted for the house made Black Velvet latte just because of the name. They suggested it with macadamia milk, a first for me. The black sesame and activated charcoal produced a rich, savory, slightly smoky flavor; a bold contrast to the vanilla pound cake syrup. Special points because it was served in reusable cups since we dined in. The café is small with four tables. When we arrived, there were no seats but it cleared quickly. There are also a couple counter seats. You might have to wait for a table if you want to dine in. Or you could get your food to-go. The service was friendly and helpful. It's also a small operation, so there might be a wait. But, the kitchen is not skimping on the freshness of ingredients or rushing preparation. It's ALL worth it! It's the Waialae area, so you know the parking drill. Free street parking available close-by off Waialae; metered one-hour parking on Waialae Avenue. If you have to do a short walk, so what! You can pass by the other locally-owned boutiques, restaurants, and bakeries. Speaking of baked goods, Juicy Brew offers a nice selection of scones, cookies, muffins, and cakes. This place is going to be my go-to, for sure! I regret not stopping by sooner. So, don't be like me! Stop by, try the food, sip a latte, get something to-go, and make a wise life choice!!

Parking is limited, so I usually order online and select curbside pickup. The staff is always friendly, and this cozy little spot on Waialae Avenue has a welcoming neighborhood feel that is so Kaimuki. The Banh Mi Style Lemongrass Tofu Burger is absolutely incredible and easily my favorite item on their menu. Everything in this "burger" is there for a reason. Perfectly balanced. Always freshly made. The warm crispy panko coated katsu on the tofu pairs perfectly with the pickled veggies and the soft bun ties it all together. Textural Heaven. The Korean Hirata Buns are massive! The texture on the tofu is better than real chicken. The Korean flavors on the chick'n, house made pickles and the kimchi aioli make this another flavor masterpiece. The house made buns are fresh and the perfect vehicle for everything going on with the flavors. Very filling! It's obvious that the food creators at Juicy Brew dedicated countless hours in balancing textures and maximizing flavors. Perfection! Vegan or carnivore, Juicy Brew is an absolute must try!

The burger was good, and I'm glad I ordered the sauce on the side because it wasn't my favorite and happy to skip on those added calories. The fried green tomatoes were just ok...they were kind of bland and you didn't get many of them... 4 to be exact. The sauce that came with those was ok... I liked it better than the burger sauce. The person taking my order was friendly. I'd come back and try something else on the menu for a quick bite.

Great place to get pizza and cannoli!…read more My boyfriend and I decided to stop by one Saturday night and was pleasantly satisfied with what we ordered. We got there before 8pm and they were sold out on a lot of the items, but still liked what we got! We ordered the Brooklyn Pizza (perfect for two!), which was made with fresh ingredients and was made to order. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate chip cannoli which has the right amount of sweetness and texture, a perfect ending to our meal. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the service was warm and pleasant. I love the vibe on both areas, and we could see the wood-fire oven even in the indoor seat that we got. Good to know too that they're a vegan pizzeria, we'll definitely come back to try more of their pizza and salads. We found street parking but overheard that it's ok to park at the Hawaii Gas assigned parking on weekends only.

After a full beach day, Floralia was exactly what we were craving. We grabbed takeout and ordered…read morethe vegan cheese pizza and the White pizza, and both were fantastic. The crust was beautifully done, crisp around the edges, chewy in the center, and full of flavor. The White pizza was probably my favorite, with creamy vegan cheeses and a richness that felt indulgent without being heavy. The vegan cheese pizza was simple in the best way and disappeared quickly. Our kids loved both pizzas, and there wasn't a slice left by the end of dinner. After a long day in the sun, it was the perfect meal to bring home and share together. We'll definitely be ordering again.
