I ordered a piece of cake and a piece of banana cream pie. The cake was far too sweet; definitely made to appeal to a child's palette. I liked the pie; though, it was heavier on the cream than it was on the banana filling; they need to work on their ratios.
My partner had a gluten free whoopie pie and similarly found the filling to be far too sweet.
This place is a top gem for locals, featuring farm-to-table vibes and delicious, creative dishes that always impress.

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!

Delicious gelato, and perfect for Celiac- they only have gluten-free (warm, crispy, delicious) cones! Plus I'm extremely lactose intolerant, but every flavor is vegan! Got strawberry and matcha, and it was really delicious; the flavors were fresh and perfectly sweet, the texture was smooth and creamy, and the cones were unbeatable! Super nice service too :)

Delicious food. However it is not safe for people with Celiac Disease. I made sure to tell the waitress. She even said mine was gluten free when it was delivered to the table. But I ended up getting stuck after eating here.
Experience a cozy vibe with stunning jungle murals and unique hardwood dining, perfect for indulging in delicious vegan delights.

The Veli is a wonderful addition to vegan options in Pahoa. The menu is full of delicious options such as sandwich wraps, protein bowls and salads that are 100% plant based and gluten free.
I haven't tried the food yet but it looks absolutely amazing and will be going back very soon.
Me and my kid just stopped in and shared a berry nice-cream desert dish that was absolutely delicious and it was dairy free and made from bananas.
The inside setting has beautiful hard wood epoxy dining tables and a small yet elegant seating arrangement. The walls were painted with some pretty amazing murals of waterfalls in a beautiful jungle setting, giving the place a very authentic Hawaiian vibe.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and made the food in a timely manner.
The Veli will definitely be my new go to option for delicious vegan food in Pahoa!
Definitely stop in and check it out my friends, it is such an amazing place!
Well done!!!
Stay blessed 🙌

I love this pizza spot! Even though I'm not a person who abides by a gluten free diet, I actually prefer their gluten free crust. The pizza is also so reasonably priced. 18.99 for a large GF pizza with up to 5 toppings. What a deal! It's over $30 if you try to get a similar pizza in Hilo from a local restaurant. I'm happy to support them and will continue to devour their pizzas every few weeks.
