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.
This cafe offers a relaxed open-air tropical garden vibe with inviting outdoor seating, creating a warm, chill atmosphere ideal for those seeking gluten-free dining. The staff are friendly and accommodating, ensuring a safe, celiac-friendly environment for diverse dietary needs.

The food was amazing. I'm glad we made a stop for more local caught seafood. The service was very friendly, but I was a little disappointed to not receive my side dish. I had to order gluten-free, and was told I would get mixed greens, but instead I just got three full scoops of furikake rice. Delicious. But more rice than I needed.
The food was great and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Semi casual inside. A nice place to enjoy a family dinner.
Definitely stop at Umekes for poke. I was really happy to try the gluten-free Hawaiian poke. It was a generous helping of high quality, delicate and buttery fish with some tasty seasonings. Yum!

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.

Quite a nice surprise. The owner of L&L Hawaiian Barbecue recommended we head over here when I asked her about gluten free offerings. The food here is really satisfying. Only a few items on the menu are not gluten free. Everyone working here knew exactly what I could order and what to avoid. Down to the possible barley malt in the granola for the smoothie bowls. My spouse said the ground beef on the nachos tasted good but that the pork in my bento box tasted even more delicious. If you prefer sauce or dressing on the side let them know upfront. Good music and positive vibes.

We have these in Alaska. We expected the same service and food. The food was tasty but if you need condiments, it may not happen. The service deserves a zero! You seat yourself. We waited to be served longer than needed. The young lady that finally waited on us was not friendly. She took our order and literally disappeared. The young man that brought our food was nice and helped as much as he could.
There were at least four tables waiting to pay as our waitress was MIA. The young man reappeared to help us out.
My advice to the restaurant, seat everyone on the same level. If you’re short on good help, at least your guests will get acknowledged.
As a guest, I’d advise to sit near the bar. You’ll get waited on there.
The views are great. The ambience of this place is great. The food was tasty. We had the eggs Benedict and the omelette. I was thankful for gluten free options. It’s really the service that was bad.

This was hands down the most memorable experience of our visit to the island. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our allergen requirements (celiac).
We called ahead to book a reservation and they were able to put together a gluten free sushi offering for us with a dedicated prep station, cutlery, and rice to avoid any cross contamination. The fresh wasabi was also a delight.

The quality and freshness of the tuna and salmon were the best we'd had on Hawaii. The rice was also the best we'd had. When we asked for gluten free options, the staff knew exactly which of the ingredients were and weren't safe. They even asked about cross contamination concerns.
When they were building my poke bowl, they took their time and asked me if I wanted more of an ingredient if the one they normally use has gluten in it. They even gave me more salmon than my wife's poke bowl and she said they treated me special because the clerk thought I was handsome! LOL!

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 😋🍰

Go here. Caveat I have very inconvenient allergies (gluten, cane sugar, cocoa). My husband wanted to have gelato - fine, I say, I’ll go with so you can pick something up. As the women working say “we’ll add an extra spoon for you” I let them know of my allergy woes. And can you even believe it - they have a gelato that - yes true - does not have sugar (monk fruit and erythritol instead). Insanely good. Flavor varies they tell me so if you have life constraints like I do - go and check as you’ll likely be delighted.

This review is not based on the food that this restaurant usually serves. We have several dietary restrictions these days and asked them to make it without soy, gluten , etc. The food we got with our restrictions were good enough for us to eat. The 5 stars are for the service we got. The girl who took our order patiently listened to us and told us that they will make the food the way we want it. She explained what dishes we can eat and what we should avoid.
