I have visited a few times and it seems like they frequently change items in their bakery section. It appears that it is someone's responsibility to make sure the labels for "GF" or "V" are accurate. However, the staff taking orders may not always be aware of which items are actually vegan or gluten-free, leading to confusion. For example, if you ask for a "vegan gluten-free brownie," they may just grab you a brownie without checking the label. I had a reaction after eating a brownie one week, but not another week with a different one, so I'm not sure if it contained gluten, eggs, or dairy. Overall, if you stick to items on the physical menu, you should be fine as they are clearly labeled.

I visited several times during my trip and enjoyed the smoothies and homemade bean burger. I also tried some of their vegan gluten-free desserts. If you find yourself in Kona, this is a must-visit spot!

I like that they let you pour your own alternative milk so you get as much as you want. The cafe has a very boho vibe with lots of cute locally made art and trinkets for sale along the walls. Location is convenient, right off the main road, with easy parking. Also appreciate that it's open early we liked stopping here for breakfast when we were heading south of Kona such as to Volcanoes National Park.

I don't usually look for vegan or gluten-free options, but this place was fantastic! read more I don't usually look for vegan or gluten-free options, but this place was fantastic!
