Ambiance and Delicious All Vegan Menu

Delicious vegan food all vegan menu. The ambiance is sweet and romantic (at night). Love this place, love the food, love the people working there!!!
A must go to no matter where on island you are staying! Compared to mainland vegan places, it’s a bit pricey and portions on the smaller side, except the pasta dishes they are huge. That said this is Hawai’i and everything thing kost more here.
I’ve had everything on the menu and trust me it’s all very delicious!

Pros: Everything is vegan , Ambiance , Great service

Cons: Portions size

Vegan Yum!

I love their food. I mean, really, it’s not just vegan and healthy, they have a great chef! I’ve tried several lunch entrees and some desserts and everything is Yum! I have eaten here with non-vegetarian friends and they were just as happy with the hearty wraps or veggie burgers.
Plan to take your time here. Service might be a little slow, but the food is worth the wait, so relax and enjoy the easy going island time, maybe have a chat with the staff.
They have smoothies, acai bowls etc., for breakfast, and their tofu scramble is a comfortable alternative to eggs.

It’s the only all-Vegan restaurant on Kaua’i at the time of this writing. Atmosphere is casual with indoor and outdoor seating, but most people like the outdoor tables, after all, you’re in Hawaii and food tastes better al fresco.

Pros: Everything Vegan, Outdoor/indoor dining options, relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Some of the outdoor tables get wet on a rainy day

Incredible food!

The food is really good and the place is super cool. Sitting is only outside on the patio with plenty of shadow. We tried the avocado toast, stuffed mushrooms, smoothies and acaï bowls. Everything is amazing!

Unbelievable!!!

We literally chose to eat there four times in a matter of two days because we loved their food so much! It was a refreshing change from the places that only offer açai bowls. A full vegan menu that is incredibly delicious!!!!

Pros: All vegan!!, Fresh and healthy, not fried , Amazing pastry desserts

Amazing atmosphere!

We loved the chef's rendition of Backstreet Boys and Carly Rae Jepsen as we ate a wonderful vegan meal! Some other patrons happily sang along and bobbed their heads as well. I also absolutely loved that the owner came from an industry that isn't always kind to animals and created such a friendly, fun, and delicious place for everyone to enjoy vegan food. A must-visit if you are vegan in Kauai!

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious protein options, Chef's poppin' playlist

OMG

Thank heavens for this place! Super friendly staff, absolutely incredible food. We did the scramble with sausage, bruschetta, and asparagus, which was absolutely phenomenal and came with rice. We also did the burrito which was out of this world and came with a really delicious side salad with an awesome ranch tape dressing. Love the ambience here with all of the chickens and beautiful plants everywhere!

Delicious! We has the spring rolls and BLT. Both were amazing. Going back. Yummy

The food was top notch and the service was wonderful. The owner even came over to say hi and give us suggestions on vegan spots on the north shore. The spring rolls were so fresh and the peanut sauce was one of the best we’ve ever had! And the BLT was so flavorful! I’m not a big bread person but I couldn’t get enough of that bread! This spot is a must do when visiting the beautiful garden island!! We can’t wait to go back. Plus the sweet garden seating was wonderful.

Pros: 100% vegan, Beautiful outside seating, Great prices

Cons: None!

Good Food

I found the service tone excellent and the food tasted delicious. Unfortunately the Aussie dollar isn’t strong against the US one and so, for us it was quite expensive. It’s a nice outdoor setting.

Pros: Delicious food, Great service , Nice outdoor place to eat

So amaze

I’ve been here several times and it never disappoints. For breakfast the banana pancakes are very good and the syrup is unique and tasty! The mac nut pasta is seriously amazing and the purple potato samosas are a treat! I think they are extending their hours again soon but for now they close at 3 pm so get there early!

Pros: Friendly, Delicious , Options galore

Great lunch

The tofu charmoula was delicious! I'd highly recommend it. The tofu nori wrap wasn't too shabby either. Too bad we stayed in Poipu; I would've loved to come back and try different things! Prices are in-line for the island.

Pros: good food, lots of options

Good food but need to be more respectful of their chickens

Get the Kim Chi burger. It’s heaven! Also highly recommend their açaí bowls.

Only downside is they have squirt bottles for diners to harass the chickens with. How ridiculous. Chickens are all over the island. A vegan restaurant of all places should be teaching and encouraging guests to be respectful of animals.

I found the restaurants with the most well behaved chickens are the ones that let you feed them and encourage a pleasant, respectful interaction. The places with “don’t feed the chicken” signs are the ones where the chickens out of desperation will go after the food on your plate if you step away even for a second.

If a restaurant doesn’t like guests sharing their scraps with the chickens from the table, have a chicken feeding area to the side of the establishment. The chickens will naturally be drawn there instead of the dining area. Problem solved.

Amazing Plant Based options

Great staff... amazing atmosphere the banana pancakes were outstanding! I loved that all the sauces were hand made. We came here for breakfast and ended up getting 2 entrees each! Being on the island where the vegan options are VERY limited we drove the 18 miles from our hotel and was not disappointed in the least bit. Everything was very flavorful. We were impressed!!!

Pros: Only place i trusted for nourishment., Pretty extensive menu, Variety of non dairy milk options!

Cons: Small portions i got 3 entrees for breakfast., Tofu on the sandwich was cold and thick., I’m not a cat person and the cat wouldn’t leave!

Lovely vegan place❤️

Delicious vegan food!! 100% vegan. It’s the only place in Kaua’i that’s 100% vegan. Nice people. Just a bit expensive for a small portion. But definitely amazing vegan food! We will come back
