100% GF restaurant!

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.

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

Stacey Mehl

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Jennifer Maltby

My husband got the regular cinnamon roll and I got the gluten free with the cream cheese frosting added on the side. They were so yummy! Gf cinnamon rolls are often a disappointment but these were so good, we went back later the same afternoon and picked up 3 more gf ones to go to have for breakfast on other mornings. The lady that makes the gf rolls is so sweet! Thank you for such a wonderful treat!

Bethany Flickinger

Gluten free pizza is expensive but so delicious!

Andrea James

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.

Merissa Peil

Best fish tacos ever! We ate here multiple times on our trip! Highly recommend!

My wife and I came here on a whim and we were super impressed! The staff was super friendly and super accommodating for my wife's gluten intolerance (she has celiac). We got fried pickles which were so tasty and well portioned. We also got the spicy poke bowl and the fresh fish bowl. Our server made sure both the dishes were gluten free for us! Can't recommend this place enough!

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

Krishnabai Lewis

Yummy! Best gluten free donuts I've had.

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Had a very pleasant experience having dinner here. Our waitress was so sweet, and the lake view from the back patio was gorgeous. The food was amazing and affordable compared to other places in the area. Situated near cute shops. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available as well. We got the sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque, chicken and rib meal, and the chocolate torte. The fresh vegetables side was so good. Highly recommend:)

Dave Whitaker

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

Aubrey Ledyard

Absolutely delicious! Loved this place for its great sushi, gluten free options, and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend for gluten free!

Megan Fisher

Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice

Mark

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!

Trisha Hariani

Lots of gluten free options!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

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!

Chrystal Drinkwater

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. 😎

Kate Richardson

I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.

Nanette Gefreh

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

Cecilee Romano

This place is amazing! There were gaming stations with all kinds of platforms like NES, Switch, and more. I ordered a gluten free vegan pizza, and my husband got a custom pizza and a salad, and we both got drinks. The food was SO GOOD. We took it to a park and ate outside. It was fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Big portions as well! We had leftovers for midnight snacking. The cashier was super friendly and helpful too. It’s not cheap, but it was definitely worth the price. We played games while we waited for food, and it was really fun. Will absolutely come back on our next trip!

Michelle Ruth

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

Nadine

I almost cried eating here the first time. I haven’t had fried rice in so many years and finding it so delicious and gluten-free on my vacation. I have to admit I have been there 3 times in not even a week… Staff is very friendly, portions almost too much but perfect after a long hike and the price is phenomenal. 17$ for this portion

Ashley London

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at P.F. Chang’s Honolulu thanks to our amazing waitress, Carlie. My son has celiac disease and has to eat strictly gluten free, which can often make dining out stressful and difficult. Carlie went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, especially for kids. Her kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly made our meal enjoyable and stress-free.

Aaron Morse

Fantastic fine dining experience with excellent, beachfront ambiance and many gluten-free options.

dcDalton

This was our first time going to three's bar and grill. We waited for less than 10 minutes for a table outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those with Celiac or gluten issues a separate is available. I ordered blackened fish which was one of the best fish I've had. We had a great dinner. You get 20% off your next meal with receipt.

Sanja Cvetanovic

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.

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.

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,

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!

Hailey

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

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!

Paul T

Wife has celiac and eaten many times. Make sure to tell them an allergy and they will change gloves and take special precautions even when they are busy!

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Ashley Byrne

Really good falafel!!

Bethany Flickinger

Had to ask the waiter about gluten free but he knew exactly what I could eat! 10/10 recommend! The best service I’ve ever experienced and everyones dish was delicious!

Danny Newhide

It's hard to write a review leaving only 4 stars for a place that is so beloved by many (as evidenced by the need to book reservations months in advance), but sometimes the hype really hurts a place like Mama's. We skipped the reservations and opted to walk-in for bar seating at lunch. Credit has to go to Mama's for the ambience and service. It was quite excellent. The staff and location were top notch, really capturing that retro "island" vibe. Bar staff, Tom and Jill were great. Drinks: Mai Tai and Espresso Martini were great. Would recommend to anyone. Food: overall my impression was that the food was good, but nothing was special. At nearly 70 dollars an entree, you are looking for that something extra. The seared ahi appetizer was good but unremarkable. The stuffed Kanpachi, a long standing menu item, was somewhat of a disappointment. However the our selection of the fresh catch (got the uku with caramelized onions, chili and avocado) was a bright spot and was quite good. Would also like to note that they were very accommodating of gluten-free diners. Verdict: 4/5. Go for the ambience, +/- on the food.

Alisa Shenigo

If this poke restaurant were on the mainland, it might earn a solid five stars. However, while it was enjoyable, it didn’t quite blow me away. The macaroni salad was a standout—thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor. I also tried the pork belly appetizer, which was crispy and delicious, though a dipping sauce would have elevated it to perfection. Our server was delightful and attentive, but we ran into an issue that dampened the experience. One person in our party has celiac disease, and she was offered a special gluten-free menu. She clearly explained to the staff that this wasn’t a preference but a severe allergy requiring strict care. They assured her the food would be handled properly, yet her salad arrived with a noodle in it. The manager stepped in and offered to remake it personally, but by then, she’d lost confidence in their cross-contamination protocols.

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!!!

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful choices for gluten-free. My family each ordered something different, and we were all delighted with our meal!

Andrew A

They were super fast and everything was great. They do have gluten free breading and a dedicated fryer for the side winder fries, though it’s not advertised anywhere on their menu or website. Multiple GF options.

Alexis Webster

Best place ever!!! They have gluten free.

Samantha Holloway

As someone with gluten and dairy intolerance they were very professional, knowledgeable, and took the issue seriously. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free items and you can ask about dairy free. I had the short rib with kimchi fried rice and vegetables which was very tasty. The frozen drinks are dairy free. Mahalo to our server Limar! If you are GF and DF your best options are the 12 oz ribeye with rice instead of mashed potatoes or the short ribs with kimchi fried rice and vegetables. The fryer is not GF. The staff is very attentive and friendly. There was recorded music playing lightly that was pleasant and relaxing.

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!

H P

Everything but the meatballs can be made gluten free and everything is delicious. Ate here several times and had no problems. They are so kind and will help you make anything GF.

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.
