Happily ordered the ube pancakes, loco moco, brunwich sandwich and juevos rancheros . All were absolutely delicious!! Really impressed with the vegan loco moco, that's extremely hard to come by. Portion sizes were great. Sourdough bread on the sandwich also was superb. The Mac n cheese can be skipped. A bit dry. read more

Vegetate - Poke bowl and rancheros - Vegan Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Utterly delectable. One of our favorite places to eat on the island. Our absolute favorite is the banana pudding. Everything is amazing though. Leila and Jessica are great! read more

The food is great, people are very nice and the outdoor atmosphere with plants around is very nice when weather is good. One of the things I had was the Jawaiian Irish Sea Moss drink, almost like a smoothie, which was delicious with a cinnamon taste, but it was premade and I could not order it without the maca, even though the menu said I could do omissions. Having to order online is frustrating. The internet signal here is so bad that my phone kept blanking out and I needed to get help from the server to order. So, wish they had a better ordering system. read more

I'm obsessed. We love Vegetate. 3rd time this month! The Loco Coco is delicious, the kale salad is so flavorful and the frittata w ube is boss! Tried the banana pudding and it took me home to my childhood. Love. read more

What a sweet find for a vegan from Southern California on an island that tends to serve mostly non plant based food. Everyone was super nice and friendly and the food is awesome! Highly recommend this spot and hope to come back at least once before I hop on the plane back home. Namaste :) read more

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. read more

I got to-go breakfast on New Year's day. first, it was new years day and they were open--great. second, it's weird to be there and have to order to-go on the app instead of just placing an order at the register. But the app also said 40 minutes for my sandwhich and my friends french toast to come out. Hers came out in 5-10 minutes and mine was right behind it. read more

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! read more

Yummy food and nice people. Unfortunately, the back yard is a bit smelly, but still worth a visit!

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. read more

Vegetate - Very nice dining area. - Vegan Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

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!!! read more

It's so delicious even my meat eating husband loved it (and he tends to hate all vegan food ) I will truly miss this place the vegan spam is something I will be dreaming about till I come back thank you for all the kindness and care you put into your restaurant. read more

I live on Kauai and Vegetate is one of my FAVES. Da Brunchwich is my go-to, but everything I've had is so good. Healthy, nutritious, delicious, cruelty-free - and Jessica and staff are wonderful people and it's a lovely garden cafe. Eat here! read more

Exciting to have a new vegan restaurant to go to in Kapaa. The food was excellent and they've done a great job of renewing the place after Russell's. It is an outdoor atmosphere and it ia s very soul lifting place. Thanks to Jessica for buying this place and transforming it into such a it for such a special Experience to eat great healthy food. We will go often. read more

The food was fresh and delicious . The man and the counter was very helpful since it was my first visit. He explained all of the menu . Easy to order , the hibiscus tea was delicious . Although it was very hot outside the patio was cooler and comfortable read more

YESSS!!!! Husband and I needed some plant based power and got exactly what we wanted. We were a little hesitant of the prices at first but figured we'd try it out. NO DISAPPOINTMENT. We got 2 mains and 2 sides for $50, ate everything, and was very pleased with our food and experience. Brunchwich looked smaller in the picture than it actually was, and everything about it was perfect. The homemade ʻuala sourdough was incredible, and the fillings were so ʻono- esp the vegan bacon. Husband got the omelette and when I had a bite I knew I was coming back. The macnut cheese and veggie fillings with black beans- amazing. The caramelized seasoned ʻuala, breakfast cake, and everything. I would give more stars if I could. Outside dining is so pleasant, and everything is digital- so you order and pay from the QR code- even if you dine in. Which means no waiting for a bill or for the server to come take your order. It was awesome. Chef came out to check on us and our experience, and was so nice to see a local braddah working there too! Definitely going back- probably within a week. SO grateful to have a fully plant based option on the east side again. Mahalo a nui Vegetate! :) read more

You know when food tastes so good that you make sounds while eating it ? This is that place ! First time but definitely not my last eating here. The tables on the garden were full ( it looked lovely and peaceful ) but they have 2 tables out front which was also peaceful. I had the rancheros omelette this time .... Delicious!! Thank you for such a wonderful place to come and enjoy a meal. read more

Great place to go with a group of people. Very easy to order and a great variety of food and drink and desserts available.

The food was delicious and the employees are very friendly. The banana bread was very tasty!

I had viewed the menu online, & decided I must give it a try. Im so glad this restaurant is here, what a great little menu selection, they are a fairly new vegan restaurant. There open from 8-2pm closed Mon. & Tues. There menu is very nice, but perhaps in time they may offer a few more menu options for breakfast/ lunch. I ordered the french toast, It was offered fake bacon or sausage..I had the plant based sausage, all was delicious with fresh local fruit. There are some great looking baked goods inside, at the front counter. I didn't try anything this time, but next time I'm surely going to try the banana loaf. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating as well, contemporary tables & chairs. You can order you food in the front of the restaurant or just walk in find a table and scan the barcode to place your order, & your meal will be brought to you. The woman that assisted me at the front was very nice ( didnt get her name, & she also checked on me to see how I was enjoying everything. This place is highly recommended for those eating vegan, plant based lifestyle, although you don't have to be vegan, and still stop by for a coffee drinks, & more. VEGETATE is truly is culinary slice of paradise restaurant in Kapaa, Kauai. read more

food is good and healthy! the drinks are quite good also, i would make sure to get a beverage. service is great! overall no complaints but i'm not the biggest fan of fake meat so i'd love to see more non fake meat protein options read more

I was so grateful to find this place and enjoy an amazing brunch with friends! The garden setting is so inviting and relaxing and the food was next level. No joke. It was so hard to make a choice from all the yummy menu options, but we decided to get a few things and share, which was the way to go. The Brunchwich hits the spot and the yummy Sourdough with chunks of Okinawan purple potato in it really made it special. The helpful staff member also told us that they use that bread in the french toast. I am going to go again and try that out, for sure! We also had the Ube Pancakes bc my friend is GF and they did not disappoint. I love the flourishes they add to the plate like edible flowers and herbs. The food was not only delicious, but beautiful. A real treat for all the senses. The banana pudding was so gratifying and not too sweet. I grabbed one of their cookies to go as well as a slice of the protein chocolate cake to eat after our hike up the Sleeping Giant, which is so close to the restaurant. The staff was so friendly and available and I really enjoyed being able to order from my phone and get things to come out quickly and efficiently. Also when it was time to go, I just paid and didn't have to wait for a check or pay at the register. This new way of using QR codes to order is actually a game changer for eating out! Thank you, Vegetate for super delicious AND healthy options that are often hard to find when dining out! I'll be back! read more
