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.
We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki.
We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking.
The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.
Well to be honest, Cool Cat Cafe wasn't so cool for me. The waiter came to the table, we talked about the menu, ordered some drinks, then he left. Maybe 15-20 minutes later he came to get our food order. He was apologetic for the delay. Another person delivered the order, and I asked her to confirm that my burger had a gluten free bun on it. She didn't know so she went and asked our waiter. Our waiter came apologizing that the wrong bun was used. So back it went. In the end, my wife and I weren't too thrilled with our $68 meal.
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. 😎
Don’t sleep on this place. One of the best breakfasts in Maui. Super chill atmosphere and the server was amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free and celiac safe spot, this is the place.
I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.
Great gluten free poke (for coeliac traveller) with vegetarian option of tofu and gf soy sauce. Every server had great awareness of what was gluten free and how to reduce possible cross contamination. Felt very safe eating here
The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.
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!
Delicious! We absolutely loved the pizza. Gluten free crust was 10/10! I highly recommend it if you are in Maui. A robot delivers the pizza. Fun atmosphere.
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 was hesitant to write this review because it's really specific to a really hurtful experience as someone with celiac disease. Honestly if you don't have any dietary restrictions, just ignore this since the food/service otherwise is excellent..
I had eaten here several times before and loved it before this experience which was frankly enough to take it off the list for me and to leave a warning for anyone with celiac or food allergies- I ordered my food and was sitting at the table right next to the open kitchen when one of the cooks loudly complained about the celiac order. We ended up leaving without waiting for the food because it was hurtful and totally uncalled for. Not only that, but the staff denied anything was said (again, I was sitting right next to the man who loudly made the comment)- if it had been addressed, then I wouldn't leave a public review. Options for eating out with celiac are limited, so I'm really bummed to have to cross this one off the list due to an unwelcoming environment.
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.
Great gluten free pizza!
This gluten-free pizza stands out compared to most I’ve tried nationwide. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone with Celiacs.
No actual parking though...even picking up the pizza was challenging...I guess there was a parking garage behind the place.
Breakfast was delicious! Great coffee too. Sat on the patio, listening to a local musician. Homemade bread and homemade gluten-free bread! They are good about avoiding cross contact.
It's a collective of local farmers and such. Quality ingredients. But it's pretty expensive, even for Hawaii.
We ordered gluten free pizza. It was real crust, not that cracker crust that you get at most places. It was delicious. The service was great and the food came out quickly. I definitely recommend eating here while in Kuaui!! There is a nice shopping center around it as well!
Incredible poke!!! Huge portions. So many options. Gluten free options. Friendly staff. They had ube lemonade and art made by locals for sale. Will definitely come back again!
The owner has celiac disease and they have organic syrups and really yummy shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit. They also have food options and the owner knows how to prep even in a small food truck to prevent cross contact.
Absolutely insane sushi. So good we went back twice. The 007, signature role and local roll were so fresh and flavorful and they were able to make gluten free modifications
Leaving this for gluten free travelers! I have celiacs disease and this place has delicious GF options. I get the pork tacos frequently. Food and drinks are delicious + the atmosphere is fun too. Definitely recommend this place if gluten free options are needed. Also, the staff is super lively and kind!
The crepes here are awesome, especially their gluten-free options. Absolutely delicious. Their whole set up is also really cute. I got the butter cup one and it was great.
This was the best poke we had on Oahu, hands down. The fish was obviously very fresh, so tender and flavorful. The various options they gave for flavors were great so we had choices. Very knowledgable and accommodating for gluten free. Will be thinking about poke for the people for a long time after we leave Hawaii.
AMAZING!!! The poke here is incredible! Come early as I hear they sell out. I would come back again and again. I'd love to try their other items as well.
They were knowledgeable about what was gluten free and very helpful. Their slaw is to die for as well.
It is one of the best places for vegan and vegetarian options. It also offers a gluten-free option.
Ordered as follows:
Loco Moku - Best, in my opinion
Taro Burger - 👌
Raw Pad Thai - 👌
I would strongly recommend this place.
It was worth the hype. Tried the spicy and garlic shrimp; both are gluten-free. We cleaned our plates and licked our fingers! Delicious! Do be aware seating and parking is limited. Lots of other food trucks arouns
Seriously the best gluten free waffle I’ve ever had!!! It was huge and so good we went back a second time while on vacation. (The picture only shows half bc the second time, my husband and I split one). The smoothies were also good!
Super nice ladies both times we were there as well. 100% would recommend
Prices have dramatically increased, still delicious.
Used to come here all the time, unlimited toppings pizzas were $12. Now they are $19 and +2-$6 for various crust options (thick crust, cauliflower and gluten free.) Still delicious.
Came here on Thursday morning. Breakfast was very good. I got the steak, eggs on white rice. Opted out on the gravy. They have a gluten-free menu, which is the reason I came here. So that's a plus. This place will be saved for sure for my future trips back to hawaii.
Wonderful experience at this restaurant! We were quickly seated even without a reservation and during a busy time! The food was really good, and they were super accommodating of both a gluten and a nut allergy (I could’ve cried happy tears when our server brought out GF soy sauce without me even asking!). The price was just right and the service was super friendly and quick. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal with accommodating service, this spot is a must-try!
Fanfrickentabulous! We are gluten free and this establishment knows what that means. Fresh ingredients, different cooking utensils! Amazing! The GF pizza crust was amazing! Highly recommend! The owner is amazing too! Did I mention that this place is amazing!
They have Gluten Free buns for their burgers! Was so excited! The burger was absolutely delicious too! Everyone in our party enjoyed theirs. Highly recommend!
Every meal at our table was delicious! The drinks unique and tasty. I had the gluten-free pink waffle, with the lactose free Gelato. I honestly could've ate 2. Will be back!
Delicious Shrimp and Charming Vibes at Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood!
For a fantastic fast-casual lunch experience, look no further than Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood! Nestled charmingly amidst the shops in the Hilton Hawaiian Village area, this spot offers a delightful outdoor seating area that's both quaint and inviting.
The star of the show here is definitely the shrimp – and for good reason! We all ordered it, and it was truly amazing. Cooked to perfection, it was flavorful and satisfying. Our shrimp came with a simple yet effective trio of side salad, rice, and corn. While the corn might have been from a can or frozen, it certainly didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the meal.
What truly impressed us, beyond the delicious food, was their commitment to dietary needs. Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood boasts a dedicated gluten-free menu.
This attention to detail is a huge plus for anyone with dietary restrictions.
Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood is full of charm and delivers on its promise of delicious seafood in a relaxed, friendly setting. It's the perfect spot for a casual and tasty lunch in the heart of the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Our favorite place to go when visiting Hilo! Amazing food grown in their backyard, tons of vegan and gluten free option, and delicious fresh smoothies!!
Go to the botanical garden, Onomea trail, waterfalls, etc close by!
This is a wonderful restaurant for anyone, but especially if you are a foodie. Homemade, high quality ingredients, put together in ways that you would never have the skill/thought to do at home. Think: Food & Wine on the Island. Skip splurging on an expensive Manta ray tour, or something touristy like that. Splurge here. This is a small restaurant, but talk to the owner/server, tell her what you want to eat, and let her suggest something for you, and then just say "yes". Side note/bonus: all desserts are gluten free, and gluten free dishes (not just salads, pasta). Yesterday included Lilikoi cookies, chocolate cake, and one other item I cannot recall. My recommended order for a table of 3 or 4: Mortadella and burrata appetizer, any salad, and the squid ink dish (add the slow roasted octopus on top). It's the picture with the oblong dish (not round). Then, one of each dessert, and whatever mocktail they are serving. Enjoy!
