Wish I had more time on the island to taste test more of their menu items. Baked goods were tasty and smoothies hit the spot on the hot afternoon. Next time coming back for the nachos!

Great! - Edit
SO happy to have found this place after a couple weeks of cooking our own food on holiday because of limited vegan places in Hawaii! We loved all the vegan facts and decorations around the place and the food was great. We’ll be coming back again! We also had some of their baked goods and oh my god YUM!!!

Kinda janky place but food is decent - Edit
First off, the negative stuff does not include their banana bread which is really [censored] good.
Read moreThe restaurant is def kinda janky.. in the middle of a parking lot, no proper kitchen, microwave to reheat food... but the few things I ate, I liked...
Tuna salad was what I got and I liked it
Banana bread was very, very good

Best Vegan place ever! - Edit
I would give this place a 10 star rating not 5. Amazing options for gluten-free vegans like myself. Friendly people, beautiful atmosphere, great prices, huge portions. When you're on the Big Island, stop by. It will be the best money and time you spent.❤❤❤

DA KINE Vegan - Edit
Creative, delicious, and healthy, prepared fresh to order - This is our favorite place to eat on the entire island! Reasonably priced by island standards. We’ve sampled from the breakfast, lunch, and dinner pizza menu and we have yet to find a dish we didn’t love. The breakfast burritos and sandwiches are fantastic, and the BLT sandwich on the grab-and-go menu with home-made rice paper “bacon” is not to be missed! Their pizza crust is a little thick for my personal tastes, but still delicious, and the sauce, vegan “cheese” and toppings were superb. They also bake amazing banana bread (which you will get a little sample of with your breakfast) and other baked goodies
Read moreSeating is outdoors only in a parking lot, but they have done a nice job of beautifying with copious plants and shade structures. Everything is available to go, so you can always take it with you to your favorite beach. The service is fast and friendly, and it’s clear how passionate the proprietors are about serving delicious vegan food.
Make sure to visit them early during your stay as you will want to come back multiple times to sample other dishes from their extensive menu (4 different menus, depending on the time of day). We can’t wait to come back! It will be our last stop as we fly home, and our first stop on our next visit. If only it were possible to give more than 5 stars.
Pros: Delicious food, Innovative cusine , Great selections

Thank you, give me more! - Edit
This was our first encounter using HappyCow, and it nailed it on the first try. We first had the Hawaiian Pizza, then the Southwestern Breakfast Burrito, Jackfruit Nachos, and Gondi Burrito. And we loved them all!

My Go-To in Kona - Edit
I ate here at least once every day while in Kailua Kona. The people who work here and very kind and welcoming, and the vibe is overall amazing. I would recommend to at least try the jackfruit nachos! They have so many options. The breakfast sandwiches are also delicious. I can easily say this small healthy fast food restaurant was my favorite find on the island!

Lovin the all-vegan options - Edit
Lots of good food to choose from, great location, friendly staff. Wasn’t excellent food, but definitely worth 3 stars, we did eat there 3x in 7 days- only because it was so convenient. Would definitely go back.

Love Herbivores - Edit
So glad to have found Herbivores. Convenient location with parking available. Lots of menu options. had the BLT because I wanted something different - it was delicious. Husband had the jackfruit BBQ and loved it as well. Was only able to get there once before leaving town. There were lots of things I wanted to try.

Went back March 2019 - they have expanded their menu and hours! Tried donuts and sandwiches and the jackfruit nachos. The nachos are a must try!

Jackfruit Nachos are a Must Try! - Edit
This little dive is a must try for any plant lover. We tried it for the first time on our week long stay on the big island and had to come back twice for the jackfruit nachos. The staff is friendly and very quick, with a menu that has something for everyone (even those who like plants less than others). Can't wait to come back!

The best nachos I’ve ever had. TONS of 100% vegan menu options (Nachos and Pono Burger are 🔥), fair pricing, great location, 7am opening, and courteous service — what is not to love?

Awesome place - Edit
I've only been once but have already fallen in love with this place. The staff are great and the food is delicious. There are very few food places I rock up to in a grump and leave with a massive smile on my face, this is one of them! As a big bonus the place looks like Fred Flintstone was the architect. If you are in Kona, visit Herbevores. I'm heading back through Kona next week and am already looking forward to getting some good food from Herbevores.

Don't Miss! - Edit
Especially for vegans (like me) and of course vegetarians too: Herbivores is the motherlode. We're visiting Kona for 3.5 weeks, and after a look at it's menu, a Buddha Bowl today, and interaction with the Aloha spirit-infected staff, I expect to eat ~10 meals here during our stay. Fresh, healthful, beautiful, diverse--what else could you want? Most (sadly) won't try it, but omnivores would love this food too.

Cute little vegan hut! - Edit
Heaps of options! The chili dog was a little bland but they provided hot sauce, and my husband LOVED the jackfruit nachos. Looking forward to trying the BLT and salad for dinner! Seating was nice but would recommend getting padding on the metal seats to make them more comfy😄but that’s just being super critical it’s a lovely place haha

Fantastic - Edit
Loved having a totally vegan option for food in Kona. Both kids and adults loved it. Definitely try the jackfruit BBQ. There are also pastries to purchase from Evolution Bakery (no longer open- but still cooking and catering locally). We ate there for breakfast and lunch. Lovely!

So good! - Edit
Somehow this unlikely little drive-in surrounded by asphalt manages to turn out the most delicious food ... we had the Greek pizza and the rainbow salad. Both were good but the pizza was outstanding, with sun-dried tomatoes and roasted garlic and loaded with other veggies. I wish they had a little garden or some more ambiance! We chose not to eat in the parking lot and got ours to go so we could walk to the beach.
