Romina C

I ordered gluten-free and it was delicious! Highly recommended!

Dave Whitaker

Great spot for sushi. Just needs a few more options for gluten free. All in all a great experience nonetheless.

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.

Wonderful gluten free food choices including an incredible dessert! A great treat!

Michelle Ruth

This was fun! Great for kids! And they have gluten free batter option for the pancakes which is great!

Riley McWilliams

Amazing beach-side restaurant! The food was great, and our waiter, Kobe, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and my friend's nut allergy and gave us all the info and accommodations that we needed.

Audrey Palmer

Food was delicious! Services was excellent. Our server, Julia, was friendly, efficient and helpful. My husband and I are both celiac and they understood and made sure our food was safe for us. Would highly recommend!

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Incredible Takeout, Generous Portions & the Sweetest Service! We ordered takeout from Sweet Corner Café while in Honolulu, and it was hands down one of the best food experiences we’ve had on the island! Everything was packed with care, still fresh and hot when we got home, and absolutely delicious. The real highlight of our visit was our server, Chelsea. Even though we weren’t dining in, she treated us like VIPs; incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely warm. She even surprised us with a free to-go drink, which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture. It’s rare to find that kind of service, especially with takeout! As for the food , WOW. The house-made noodles were beyond delicious with the perfect texture and flavor. The gluten-free orange chicken was crispy, zesty, and one of the best we’ve ever had (gluten-free or otherwise). The roast chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every bite tasted homemade and full of love. The portion sizes were good and we easily had enough for leftovers the next day. If you’re in Honolulu and looking for incredible food, generous portions, and service that truly stands out, do yourself a favor and check out Sweet Corner Café. Whether dining in or taking out, they go above and beyond!

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.

Bill Cole

They have one Gluten Free meal. Fish Tacos. Which were really good.

Sarah O’Reilly

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

Grace Attalla

Our go to place for food on Maui! Super friendly family owned place that is also great with dietary accommodations (gluten free). Definitely recommend! Great for food before the airport.

Sarah Be

Loved our experience here, beachside, sunsets, tasty food. Another reason for the top review is the quantity and quality of gluten free offerings,

Allison Henderson

Delicious food! It was so great to have fries! Jaclyn was very helpful explaining how almost everything was gluten free. The portions were a great size and reasonably priced too!

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Michael McLaughlin

Great selection, couldn’t decide so got 7 things (!!) and all are so tasty. Favorite thus far Ube Haupia Coconut pie. Gluten free options are plentiful and appreciated. And it’s reasonable. Keep it up with the $2 brownie and cookie bars - us value shoppers say mahalo for your kokua.

Adam Lang

Kilauea Bakery has the best gluten free pastries and pizzas!

Peter Ryczek

If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways. Don't spend your money here.

Dorothy F Shelton

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!

Luis

Great place very peaceful, the fruit, the pizza everything is good. Gluten-free fig pizza is awesome 👌🏽

Liv Campbell

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!

Jeremiah Hoehner

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.

Nikki Boom

Gluten free was great! No issues

Zach

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!!!

Bridgit Motes

What a great celiac-friendly find in Hilo! Cutest little place with super friendly and accommodating staff. We were sorry to learn that the Kona location is not also gluten free… we were already making plans to visit!

Helen Georgiou

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.

Aidan S

Wonderful gluten free food. My celiac wife had no problem eating here!

RO

Overpriced but good açai. It is not the typical Brazilian açai it is blended with banana and other things. No seating space. Has gluten-free granola.

Ryan & Carey Doore

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.

Pragna Basu

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.

Ben S

Although the restaurant has a good vibe and the staff is friendly, I do not recommend this place for 3 reasons. First, we got their 12” pizzas unaware that they only come in gluten-free. It was the worst pizza crust I’ve ever had in my 50+ years, although the menu does mention it, It is not very clear and we missed it and our waitress did not confirm if we were OK with gluten-free pizza dough. I’m sure their 14” with regular pizza dough is better, but I cannot be the judge of that since we did not have it. Second, they brought our appetizer and salad after the pizzas. Third, their menu states they charge an automatic 20% gratuity for tables of 6 or more. Our table of 6 was actually charged 22% gratuity instead of 20%, so beware. There are many great food options in Maui, but I would stay clear of this restaurant for the reasons mentioned above.

Rob Darwin

Do not come here if you are looking for safe dining for gluten allergy or celiac. Go to Lulu’s Waikiki instead, where they have a wide variety of gluten free items and DO make the effort to avoid cross contamination, unlike this restaurant.

Karen Gamble

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.

Adam H

Great spot for really good deli sandwiches and paninis. Reasonable and tasty. Gluten free options

Rachel Overvoll

The best gluten free breakfast sandwich on island! Plus incredible staff and atmosphere.

Jon Baniak

Great option for gluten free people. Pancakes were excellent but $16 for plain buttermilk seems steep. Bacon was very average tasting thin slices and I was expecting more/better given the $10 for 3-4 slices. If budget isn't a factor for you and gluten free is something you need I would say this is likely one of the best options on the island. Staff was very nice as well!

Oonagh Knott

This was a very disappointing experience. We went in for my birthday dinner and I was very excited because the menu looked great. To start, the server was cold and not engaging at all. Some of the food was just ok, but very high prices for just ok. Two of the dishes were almost not edible. My partner is gluten free and I do appreciate the accommodation that was offered, but they up-charge $5 for boxed gluten free pasta. We constantly eat gluten free and it’s usually very tasty but her dish was just nasty. The pasta was hard/crunchy like it was burned in a pan after being boiled. She would take bites of her food then have to spit out the rock hard pieces of pasta. The pesto sauce was very bland, and the tomato sauce was way too sweet. I highly recommend you do not go here for any special occasion, they are not welcoming and don’t seem to care about any celebration. There’s some great Italian on the Big Island, look somewhere else.

Edith Derheim

GLUTEN FREE RAMEN!!! The noodles were excellent and did not fall apart, good flavor and chew. Several broths to choose from. Can sub chicken for the char siu. Friendly, knowledgeable, and quick service! Five stars is not enough!

Tanya Lin

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.

Christopher Bohlin

Owner is very considerate and accommodating of dietary restrictions (gluten free, IBS, etc)

Jennifer Stone

Had the gluten free Pad Thai w/chicken. So good. Came out quick (less than 5 mins).

Scott Bigler

Just ate the gluten free cauliflower crust mushroom truffle balsamic vinegar glazed pizza and it was amazing! The crust was soft and felt like I was eating real bread, and the flavors really came together. The service was top notch and helpful. I am glad we found this place.

Gavin RK

Great service, great pizza, super friendly and sanitary. Very good for those with celiac and need to eat gluten free 👍

Zadie Farris

Their gluten free primevera pasta changed my life. I will forever live in regret that I don't live in Hawaii and can't have this every single day for the rest of my life.

Han Zhang

The food and environment were great, a bit on the pricier side, but guess this is normal for Hawaii. Wanna give a big shout-out to our server Nathan who accomandated my boyfriend's food allergies so well! Not only did he take the effort to communicate multiple rounds with the kitchen to make sure the food is allergen-free, give recommendations, he also went above-and-beyond and offered us both regular & gluten free bread, and helped divide the steak for us to share. Nathan was super friendly and gave us tips of travelling in Hawaii too. Thank you Nathan for your amazing service! On allergies: many GF options or food that can be modified for be GF. Gluten & soy free options are a bit more challenging

Becca Chapman

This place is amazing! and they take celiac and gluten sensitivity VERY seriously. They told me that if even a drop of the oil from the non dedicated fryer goes in the gf fryer, they dump the whole thing out. celiacs, you are safe eating delicious food at this location.

Brittaney Johnson

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.

Bahr Bros

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
