Stopped in for a coffee on my way from Two Step to Kona. The gluten free brownies tasted like the real deal and my iced Haupia Caramel latte was perfectly creamy and slightly sweet. Definitely add this to your list if you’re visiting.
I either have Celiac Disease or am just gluten sensitive (idk which). This place has gluten free cinnamon rolls, and they are FANTASTIC! You cannot tell they are gluten free.
My only tip: The gluten free cinnamon rolls did not come warm and gooey like the regular cinnamon rolls did for other people in my party. HOWEVER, if you warm them up in the microwave, they’re fresh, hot, and gooey! Delicious! Oh, and BIG!
First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.”
It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu.
Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.
We ate here twice while visiting Kauai. They have gluten free options. We wish they would offer a gluten free bun! It was a pancake bun that doesn't support a hamburger. The nachos were DELICIOUS! They have gluten free fries which are a treat! Please get gluten free dessert! Frozen drinks were yummy!! Great atmosphere for dining. Definitely recommend eating here while in Kauai.
Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!
Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice
If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!
FIVE STARS! I'm vegetarian and my friend is gluten free and pretty much all their food catered to both of us. Fresh. Healthy. Delicious. Unique food. Lovely staff. Cosy atmosphere. Coming again and again for sure. 100% recommend.
Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎
I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.
Absolute adorable outdoor dining right in Oceanview. Kevin is kind, professional, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. The whole menu is gluten free and they also have a few great vegetarian options 🙂
I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.
Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!
Ambiance: Very cool garden setting. Live music at certain times. Overall an great atmosphere. Tends to be very busy. I'm giving it four stars, though, because they try to rush people through in 60 minutes to accommodate the next seating. They pushed us to order right away and then brought out our salad and entree at the same time.
Wait: We waited 10 minutes with a reservation. Without a reservation, you're rolling the dice. Can be hard to get reservations during the peak season.
Food: Good, but nothing special enough to justify the price. "Keoki's Style" fish was just ono with some pesto and a sweet glaze. The kale salad was quite good.
They have happy hour specials 4-5, but if you come in with a 4:45 reservation, they won't allow you to order them. You have to arrive earlier than that.
Drinks: The cocktails here are unique and good, but incredibly sugary. I would recommend them if that's your style. Prices range from $17-$25 per drink.
Service: The front of the house generally did a good job, except that they served us a dish that I was allergic to after I told them about my gluten allergy. When I looked at the dish and asked the server to confirm that it was gluten free, she immediately apologized and took it away.
Easily one of, if not my favorite place to eat in Hilo. A beautiful atmosphere filled with flowers and joy. The food is extremely fresh and they go the extra mile to make sure they source high quality local, organic ingredients. This cafe is a Hilo Staple and a must visit. And don't forget to check out all of there wonderful gluten free, vegan desserts!!!
Very inviting and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view of the ocean, especially during sunset. Located not far from the downtown Front street attractions and retail/tourist area. The food was outsanding. Many gluten-free options. Great drink and wine selection. Amazing desserts. The server was quick, very polite and made excellent recommendations. The owner was awesome, too! We celebrated a group dinner here and everyone loved it.
Great place for variety. Portion sizes are large and plentiful. The wait staff are lovely and were very informed about gluten free requirements. Have eaten here twice during my stay and no issues after eating. Great gluten free choices available. The fries are cooked separately and are gf also! Thank you for a wonderful meal.
If you want to come and eat here, come early as it's very popular and you may have to line up and wait a little, but the line moves quickly.
We initially missed the sign for this place, but once we saw it, it was easy to find and get parking.
We had gluten free fish tacos and Hawaiian poke bowl, both were pretty good. The server was knowledgeable about gluten free options, and made sure to keep the fries which could be cross contaminated on the side, which my partner could eat. He also had a lilikoi cheesecake which he loved.
Everything but the meatballs can be made gluten free and everything is delicious. Ate here several times and had no problems. They are so kind and will help you make anything GF.
For planet friendly food this is my happy place in Kailua-Kona. It's a food truck like shack in the middle of a parking lot, with shaded seating areas with reed screens and a drive-through option. Free 1 hour parking for an hour. I appreciate how tasty the jackfruit nachos and gluten free pizzas are.

Stayed in Paia and was able to walk to Mana Food Mart. Was shocked at how low their prices were. And they have the biggest selections. This was a huge deal for me since I am on a gluten free diet.
Terrific food in a fun outdoor setting with shade and rain protection. We went twice and tried the kale salad, ultimate combo salad, pancakes, burgers, and a smoothie. All were excellent and our very sensitive celiac person was fine. All vegan and lots of gluten free.
Service was excellent "Kiwi" waiter excelled
Food tasted great fish and chips
The mai tais were watery and not that good for my taste, so drink beer
Don't go here for gluten-free because there is nothing available but a real bad tasting dessert at lunchtime
Had the best dinners here on our trip! The macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi was the best! Highly recommend. They are so good about food allergies here! They are informed and take them seriously!
wonderful little restaurant with amazing ocean views. wonderful gluten free (sensitive) pancakes. Large portions and very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back there for breakfast.
Definitely the best shop, very fresh, gluten-free, cow's milk-free products are available there. We didn't find any items like this in other shops. Highly recommended this shop, nice helpful staff.
Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!
You can choose as you like.
You can also order your favorite burger.
This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤
You can also choose how well the patty is cooked.
If you don't like red, try medium rare.
Because it's quite rare
Well done might be fine!
The shake is not sweet either
And above all, the staff
Extremely kind
We shared one burger.
They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces.
Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious?
Can you go? He asked me 😊
Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟
I just love this place! First and foremost the staff is amazing, I came here with my 9 month old and my hands were full, and I believe the employee’s name was Daryl, he went out of his way to help me. I couldn’t have been more grateful…this isn’t off that one experience, I’ve been here nearly everyday for a month. The staff here is very kind, and the atmosphere is great!
The coffee never disappoints, and being that I’m gluten free, there aren’t many options, but the ones I do have are amazing.
Highly recommend their cappuccinos, and their gluten free almond cake, and their gluten free chocolate caramel dome.
As usual the food is fresh, healthy and fantastic. If you're looking for gluten free sandwiches, they have the bread. Juices are juiced right in front of you so you know it's fresh.
We arrived in a pretty sour mood. My husband broke two toes while we are here so he couldn’t drive. I’m not able to drive at night. We couldn’t find a ride to the restaurant. We ended up being 20 minutes late for our reservation. Our server turned that around. Ashlynn was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She had a great energy about her. The food was amazing. I am gluten-free and she was very helpful in determining what I could eat. She totally nailed her wine recommendations. We were in such a great mood by the end of our dinner!
Disappointing experience. The food was mediocre at best—my fresh catch was both skimpy and overcooked. Gluten-free options were very limited, which made ordering difficult. While the support staff was attentive and the waiter was kind, overall service lacked attentiveness. Also, not sure when a kitchen service tax was implemented, but it felt unnecessary and tacky.
This organic bakery is a treasure! They offer vegan and Gluten Free options. Don’t miss the delicious Vegan peanut butter cups. They’re also very creative with spices & coffee drinks.
Enjoyed the Cultured Vegan sandwich on house sourdough w/ vegan cashew
"cheese", carrots, cucumber,
tomato, onion, bell pepper, lettuce &
sprouts.

I’ve had juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls here that are always on point. When I need a good, protein packed meal, the ahi sandwich on gluten free bread is does it. The bread is locally made and dressing on the side salad is house made. The staff isn’t super friendly - somewhat cliché of a yogi, college age health bar. Plus, they’re always kinda busy. I suppose when you’re this healthy and good, you can afford to be meh.
Amazing iced latte
Amazing gluten free banana bread (no reaction)
Pretty good açaí bowl with PB, avoid the granola (had a reaction)
Overall great place with view
Very nice staff
Cute little outdoor space. The service was incredible. Accommodated to food sensitivities. Cleaned blenders, were attentive and kind.
The price is hefty for their portion size. The salmon and lox/cream cheese bagel was literally a "make it your own sandwich" DIY for an insane $20-21 & small portion. They had it all in plastic cups and just have it to us on a plate with a toasted bagel to assemble 😅
The acai bowl wasn't really a bowl, but actually a soft serve ice cream for breakfast. Not filling at all. I got the acai "bowl", no banana on top or in the base, sub mango in the base. Add cacao + mixed seeds in the base, do pineapple on top. No granola cause of no gluten free certification. The cup was not full at all like a typical acai bowl is, but like a soft serve scoop for a working $20.50, an insane cost! The pictures how empty the cup is.
Their kitchen closes for food 11:30am and their cafe closes 1:30. So 11:30-1:30 they are coffee mostly.
The cost is immensely high for portion size and for what it offers. I've been eating acai bowls all over the island for a whole week and none looked like this or had such a small portion and hefty price. Call it soft serve. Such an empty cup. I had to order another bowl from red hot mama's next door to actually eat.
Stopped here during breakfast hours before heading out to catch flight out of Kahului Airport. Food and service were excellent. Ample free parking spaces are located back of the building. Gluten-free options are available. Will visit again when visiting Maui in future.
