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.

Got the Papaya Dream Salad. I am gluten sensitive. Asked what was in the health grain mix. Sounded like the lady said rice and berries and she said it was gluten free. I couldn't see what it was exactly from where I was standing. Turns out it was Barely - not gluten free!!!
Had a great visit to Dabeans Green Café in Mountain View. Phoenix, one of the owners, was helpful in accommodating my gluten-free diet and took the time to explain the menu options thoroughly. The menu, designed by his wife, is also exceptionally thorough and enjoyable to flip through. Delicious food and a chill atmosphere. A very personable experience as well.
Originally stopped by because of the great reviews on the food. Definitely did not disappoint.
Best Acai Bowl in town? That's absolutely true! As I already got my breakfast on the way but wifey wanted to try, I declined a waffle and just grabbed some iced coffee. As we got the Acai Bowl they surprised us with some waffles on the side! Wifey is gluten intolerant so I sacrificed myself for those heavenly waffles.. Go get there, guys! It's not the last time we went.
Friend invited me for lunch, and I am now addicted to these sandwiches. Purchased a whole pita falafel for $20 with all sauces offered. Filled pita with veggies and multiple sauces made for a filling Saturday lunch. Family run business. Very sweet people. Offer gluten-free pita for $2 more. Definitely worth it. Everything made fresh and quickly. I've already promoted to more friends to meet me there for lunch next week. We ate at open air picnic tables at farmers market.
We made a special trip to Hanalei just to eat at this restaurant. The French toast was more like a huge funnel cake and was absolutely delicious! The pork burrito was just above average. But the service and attitude was slow and downright rude when we informed them that a person in our party is extremely allergic to gluten and dairy. We asked if they could make the pork burrito without the tortilla and the cheese. It seemed like they were upset at such a request and were very put out to have to accommodate the request. But they said they would make it in a bowl and omit the gluten and dairy ingredients and place the sauce on the side. Which they forgot to give us the sauce on the side.
They also didn't put an ingredient/sauce on my standard burrito. When I asked for the sauce they said it would be an extra $1. I told them I shouldn't have to pay extra for sauce that should be on the burrito to start with. Then they started to grab the cup of sauce when I said I shouldn't have to pay for the missing sauce. Then I informed them that they forgot the side of sauce on the bowl burrito. Then I was told to just take the sauce in a very rude way as the person quickly turned and walked away.
This restaurant is extremely popular and the line was out the door as we left. So they must be doing many things right. I just wanted to let anyone with serious dietary restrictions, know of our experience when we asked to modify a dish so everyone in our party could enjoy this restaurant.
I also know anyone can have a bad day, and maybe this was the situation. But I've worked in the restaurant business for years in my parents restaurant and this level of rigidness and rudeness has no place in a customer facing position.
Delicious food and friendly service. Most items on the menu (except desserts and sandwiches and empanadas) are gluten free, too, so very easy to find something to eat here.
First off, our server was great! She gave us local recommendations and had the best personality! My kids enjoyed the gluten free pancakes (the only ones we found on the island). I love the Pesto omelet. Good coffee and reasonably priced!
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!
Delicious! Great vegetarian and gluten free options (I hope they try to make gluten free pita in the future!). Professional and friendly staff. Sit outside for a nice breeze.
We had two different acai bowls and a gluten free cupcake. All were amazing! The natural food store and hot food bar also looked great. Very large for the small town of Paia. Lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. But also high quality meats.
Had lunch here as a quick option before spending the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It's part of the market area before the entrance which has a few other options to check out.
The menu was labeled with what was vegetarian and gluten free so if you have those diets (which we did in our party) you go in knowing they are conscious of these things and you will be able to eat something.
I had the Veggie Burrito which was hearty and good...I generally prefer pinto or refried beans, but neither of those are vegetarian here so had it with black beans. I was quite filled when it was done done and thought this had a nice authentic flavor to it.
The person who took our order seemed awfully unhappy to be there which is not typical of Hawaii and bummed us out a little.
This is a good quick stop (well it was quick for us...a bit a line developed after we ordered) before heading into the center for the day. There's plenty of seating behind the truck too.
Lots of gluten free options with the gf buns, and they have excellent pina coladas! Order with the wait staff if you need gf options, they don't show on the online menu.
