This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

Friendly staff and lots of unique breads. Was pleasantly surprised to find lots of gluten free breads and treats as well. The Ube Loaf was amazing

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!

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

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. 😎

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.

Kevin Sparrow

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.

Elena Gonzales

I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Nadine

Very delicious icecream. Everything is dairy and gluten-free. Cones are made fresh by hand. Loved it!

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!

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Luis

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

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!!!

Aidan S

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

Alexis Webster

Best place ever!!! They have gluten free.

Rachel Overvoll

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

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.

Wayne Kever

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.

Christopher Bohlin

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

Eva-Elizabeth Chisholm

If you're a gluten free dairy free human like me, get the Daily Bread with the GF sourdough. I've tried so many GF breads at home and out and about and this was truly one of the best - and the homemade fruit spread/Mac nut butter were both great adds!

Alfred Hofmann

Definitely the best shop, very fresh, gluten-free, cow's milk-free products are available there. We didn't find any items like this in other shops. Highly recommended this shop, nice helpful staff.

Karen L

One of my top choices of coffee shops in Hawaii for hot Kona coffee. There was already a long line at 8am, however the staff worked efficiently to keep the line moving. Order ahead option is available with online menus. It would be helpful to have separate beverage only and food lines as well. This Waikiki location has gluten free and plant based menus. Highly recommend!

B Sangani

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.

melissa holzworth

Had so many Gluten Free options!! Delicious key lime and chocolate treats!! ❤️

Brittany Weyrick

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

Matt Hill

Beautiful art and a peaceful, very friendly setting for some delicious food, including several tasty gluten free options. Tucked away just off the main highway, this makes a great stopping point if you're on your way to or from the national park and other attractions around the south of the island.

Summer Seymour

Beautiful location. We did the tasting and tour, which was really fun. We had pizza from the restaurant and it was DELICIOUS. They even had some gluten free options, which was great. Thank you!!!

Atiyya Ali

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.

Skye Kovacs

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!

Cory Anderson

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!

Peter Petersen

I would highly recommend the farm tour. We had Myka And Kaena conduct the tour. They are phenomenal, great attitudes, great energy, very knowlegable. Very fun to learn how the various plants are grown and harvested and what goes into the process, with some history to go behind it. On the tour you get tastings of various fruits and products as well as chocolate from cacao grown on the farm. Worth every penny. As well they have a shop and menu with alot of great food and gluten free options.

Maranda Curry

As usual the food is fresh, healthy and fantastic. If you're looking for gluten free sandwiches, they have the bread. Juices are juiced right in front of you so you know it's fresh.

Shylo Benz

Really great Açaí Bowls - and super tasty gluten free granola! Bonus tip: take it to go and go enjoy at A-Bay Beach!

Alyse Gowgiel

CELIAC REGRETS. Beautiful place, fun atmosphere, SUPER UNINFORMED staff. My gluten intolerant family member with celiac disease ordered a burger with gluten free bun. The apparently mostly teenage staff didn't know enough to warn her that there is flour IN the burger?? What kind of recipe is that?? WHY would you offer GF bun for wheat-containing patty? She felt an allergic-like reaction in her mouth a few bites in, so I went to ask about the ingredients of the burger. The cashier had to check with everyone else in the joint to find the ingredients. Only the cook seemed to know that the burger was not GF...why would you put a gluten-containing patty on a gluten-free bun?? I see that this is definitely not our smartest moment for not checking the ingredients/reviews beforehand or for trusting the non-dedignated gf menu, but this place is also irresponsible for putting allergens into a dish that shouldn't contain gluten to begin with. She will be in horrible pain all week, so much so that we might have to change our flight dates so she's not sick on the plane.

Kelly Smith

Atmosphere was decent & inviting. Service was basic with self ordering. Gluten Free French toast was burnt on the underside. Pretty much ruined the desire to go back.

Brittany Weyrick

Menu shows gluten free options. I had the gf fried rice and it was really good, my husband had a burger that he also really enjoyed. We got the sunrise citrus juice and it was SO good! Atmosphere was fun, someone was making some beats & singing while we were there and that was fun to listen to as well. Would go back!

Justine

This organic bakery is a treasure! They offer vegan and Gluten Free options. Don’t miss the delicious Vegan peanut butter cups. They’re also very creative with spices & coffee drinks. Enjoyed the Cultured Vegan sandwich on house sourdough w/ vegan cashew "cheese", carrots, cucumber, tomato, onion, bell pepper, lettuce & sprouts. ♻️ Eco-friendly packaging & composting on site 🅿️ Parking Lot

Carissa Scholl

Absolutely amazing poke bowls!! Both gluten free and regular options were phenomenal. At first, I was sad to see the bed of lettuce (don’t be fooled). I had a bite, then another, followed by another. I was so concerned with my kids wanting another bite (they’re not big fish eaters - and of course they loved it!). So I devoured that plate like it was my last meal. Will definitely be coming back. Coffee and ice cream were great as well. Kids approved! Picture of the Hawaiian poke plate (gluten free).

Anna Berntsen

I had a really good black bean and beet burger. Now, it was slightly soft in my opinion but still very tasty and they even had a gluten-free bun! Win! The Japanese purple potato salad was amazing I will be getting some to take on the flight home. We'll done Down to Earth!

Mia Garrard

Super delicious açaí bowls and cold brew! We both got the kings açaí and were excited and surprised to see they had cold brews. We tried the blue coconut cold brew and it was delicious. Really friendly staff, fast service, and one of our favorite food stops during our visit to Maui. Also very nice that they have gluten free granola, usually it’s hard for us to find that and my partner ends up missing out on the granola. Can’t wait to go back!

Michele Minietta

Loved the gluten free cheese bread! Awesome beach snack!

Julia Conde

happy to find a good banana gluten free muffin

Gemma Boothroyd

Got the kale salad with tempeh and it really hit the spot! Gluten free and dairy free cookie was also scrumptious

Kyle Deeley-Hardgrave

Great coffee shop in Makawao, across from Komodas! Vida has a wide selection of gluten free and glutenated baked goods to delight any pallette, as well as excellent coffee drinks. Tables overlooking beautiful ti-leaf terraces are available. This cafe also offers free WiFi!

Maila Gibson

I’ve had juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls here that are always on point. When I need a good, protein packed meal, the ahi sandwich on gluten free bread is does it. The bread is locally made and dressing on the side salad is house made. The staff isn’t super friendly - somewhat cliché of a yogi, college age health bar. Plus, they’re always kinda busy. I suppose when you’re this healthy and good, you can afford to be meh.

Alexandra E

Great market that is similar to Whole Foods but local. Delicious fish tacos and burgers in the cafe that both can be made gluten free.

Alexandra Boggs

Best gluten free acai bowls eva!!!!!

Sharif Matar

Small tasty bowls with gluten free options.

Courtney Radmall

This is a local market that has TONS of packaged gluten free options. Definitely come here to get some safe gluten free snacks.
