    We loved the banana pudding so much, we even got one to go to eat later

    Vegetate quickly became that place for us--the one you discover and then plan your entire day around. It was one of the only vegan restaurants on the island, and it was so good we made the 40-minute drive every single day without hesitation. Worth it. Every time. Dinner, brunch... repeat. The food is consistently incredible, creative, and deeply satisfying. And the desserts--truly unhinged in the best way. The banana pudding and chocolate pie are absolute standouts. Pro tip: add the coconut whip to the chocolate pie. This is not optional. This is a life choice. The service was just as amazing as the food--warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which somehow made everything taste even better. If you're vegan (or just love exceptional food) and you're in Kauai, make the drive. We did it daily and would happily do it again.

    Even the cup is made of plants!

    Home delivery was spectacular! Just as fresh and delicious as in person at Vegetate Café. Highly recommend excellent customer service.

    Cozy little vegan food joint. We got lunch and ordered pesto pasta, Huevos Rancheros, Loco Moco, Tofu Poke and the sweet potato salad. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend.

    LOVED getting lunch here! I visited from LA as a vegan with my non-vegan husband and this place was heavenly! I ordered the French toast with extra bacon and it was seriously the best. My husband got the coconut soup and also loved it. I also ordered the cacao coffee and it was so cute and refreshing. Super Hawaiian cute presentation too with flowers and the garden seating was super chill and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this place to vegans and non-vegans alike!

    Tofu poke

    We stopped by here on way back from Hindu monastery and had a delicious vegan lunch. We ordered loco moco, da brunchwich, the Rancheros & tofu poke. We took the outdoor seating and did dine-in. Nice ambiance Service was pleasant & reasonably fast. Definitely recommended for vegetarians.

    Very nice dining area.

    Great new vegan place. I had the brunchwich and it was delicious. I will definitely return!

    We devoured our own food but got pix of our table neighbors. Ube Mochi pancakes, Loco Moco, Brunchwhich

    BEST FOOD on Kaua'i in the cutest little garden setting, set back from the highway giving space to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The Brunchwhich was amazeballs, just enough of everything, filling, exploding with flavor. The Rancheros was also sublime and our table neighbors raved about the Loco Moco. Definitely give one of the specialty drinks a try, we loved the Mossy one and the Cacaofee (coffee free mocha with earl grey tea) were addictive level yummmm! Don't miss this adorable, scrumptious experience!!!

    Brunchwich and side seasoned potatoes  *already eaten and other piece is missing a bite from my husband*

    Food was okay, most service is online. The ambiance was nice. Very expensive though. Would I come again? Probably not.

    Ono might be our new favorite restaurant on Kauai. We went early to dinner on Valentines Day and it…read moredidn't disappoint. The food was all freshly prepared and it has a very authentic menu. Things we Loved: 1. The entrees: We had tandoori shrimp and lamb vindaloo. Both were spiced just right and the staff delivered on our request for spice level (me mild, hubs medium). Both the shrimp and the lamb were fresh and tender. 2. The rice: We ordered the lemon rice. It was literally the best rice dish I've ever had anywhere. I can't even explain how exotic and amazing it was. 3. The service: This is a small family run place and you can tell how much care they put into not only the food but the service too. Things we didn't love: 1. The naan bread was crispy vs chewy. It's a personal preference but it still had good flavor. 2. The raita was watery so didn't serve well as a dip for the bread as it just ran off. Both of these things were very minor to us because the things we loved we really loved a lot. In terms of prices, they were a bit steep. But everything was very fresh AND the portions were very generous - enough to have a 2nd dinner from the leftovers the next evening. We loved this place and are already going back with some friends this weekend.

    A great restaurant with quick and friendly service. Their samosas are always super tasty and nicely…read morecrusty. The Dahl Makhni and Malai Kofta are especially delicious. I think I've tried everything on the menu at this point and those items and the garlic naan are my favorite.

    Sounds like a classic Kaua'i find--those "locals-packed" spots are usually where the magic is…read more Taps and Hops Eatery really does have that laid-back island vibe where time slows down a bit--"island time" is real, especially when everything's made fresh. Honestly, the wait is usually a good sign there. Your order lineup hits a nice mix: * Mandu great choice for something shareable and comforting * Korean chicken if it tasted like an ajumma made it, that's basically the highest compliment * Beef sliders can't go wrong, especially when they're "ono" That mix of Korean flavors with a casual, almost random décor (yeah, "Mexican-ish" is oddly accurate for some island spots) is part of what makes places like that memorable--kind of a cultural mashup you only really find in Hawai'i. If you ever go back, people usually rave about their: * Garlic fries * Poke-style dishes * Local beer selection Kaua'i's north shore is full of low-key gems like that, but Taps and Hops is definitely one that sticks with you
