Top 10 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Kailua-Kona

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.

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!

Nice cafe with a great selection of teas and coffee. The ham and cheese croissant was great. Strongly recommend the chia, oats and coconut milk topped with fruit as well (it’s also gluten-free!) Love the decorations on the inside too 😊

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. I have celiac and they have really tasty gluten free options! We loved the ocean views.

I love this place :) I am celiac and they make wonderful gluten free crepes. I personally love the Carmel apple ( rich ) when I have a sweet tooth. But the turkey spinach mushroom & grilled veggie for savory are really great option as well. Also, very important note; they have the best London Fog on island. Their herbal blend already has Lavender in it 💜 Highly recommended.

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 😋🍰

Our cashier Ren was so nice! Gave us the full Aloha service! Was extremely accommodating with providing a variety of gluten free options and not just generic GF pancakes but a variety of flavors. Nice comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Short drive to the beach if you want to take your food and go eat at the beach. The macadamia pancakes were amazing. Super fluffy and moist eggs were cooked to perfection in. The spam was delicious! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!
