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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a vegetarian and finding some real good veg food here is difficult for me.
Kai is just wonderful in this aspect. You get a lot of vegetarian options along with other stuff + gluten free vegan meals are an option too.
Their special Mango Tango Pizza is a must try along with the special Lemon Kai Fry
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.
Great location, short & expensive menu with the only salads being a small garden salad or a small Caesar salad. No gluten-free options. Great view for sunset.
Great ocean view seating. Best Kahlua pork!! The server was excellent!! Gluten free buns and a gf menu available. That’s rare. Happy hour drinks are awesome from 3-5. We highly recommend Mai tais. We will return!
My wife and I just finished an evening at The Big Island grill and it was fantastic! They had a great Dairy and Gluten free option for my wife and the sword fish was some of the best fish i have ever tasted! We aee definitely hoping to return later this week for dessert!
I love this place :)
I am celiac and they make wonderful gluten free crepes. I personally love the Carmel apple ( rich ) when I have a sweet tooth. But the turkey spinach mushroom & grilled veggie for savory are really great option as well.
Also, very important note; they have the best London Fog on island. Their herbal blend already has Lavender in it 💜
Highly recommended.
Not only do I meet a friend here every Thursday for bible study, and we enjoy a really good cup of Kona Coffee and once in a while a little pastry, which taste delicious and they have vegan options.
But a few days ago, as my birthday was coming up, I was looking for a birthday cake. I gave the Pink ladies a call, not knowing if they would bake me a cake.
With their usual kindness and friendliness they made it happen. Yes!! Within minutes, the order was complete and within 2 days my beautiful cake was ready.
A vanilla, strawberry and blueberry 4” vegan and gluten free piece of art-delight. Thank you to the Pink Mocha pastry-chef “K” and the awesome pink ladies.
As you can see, looks amazing and tasted delicious 😋🍰

They have Gluten Free options and were able to seat is pretty quickly when we were super hungry. Service is a little scattered, but once we ordered, we got food pretty quickly. Overall, good but not amazing food and reasonable enough prices. Nice location, with outdoor seating overlooking the surf. Would come back.
Celiac friendly
