![]() ![]() Musubi at HiCO Hawaiian Coffee vegan musubi and ube latte at hico hawaiian coffee, kona, big islandĪrguably one of the most iconic Hawaiian foods, musubi can be really hard to find in a spam-less edition, let alone vegan. Save space for their vegan gelato for dessert, and be sure to ask for whipped cream topping (yep, it’s vegan too!).Ģ. That’s pretty much our vision at Around The World In 80 Flavors which is why we love Journey Cafe and what they are trying to do. The founders of Journey believe that food can heal not only our bodies but also our land and our communities. You know when you’re in Europe and eat lots of bread and don’t get bloated? Those sourdough bacteria cultures – when legit – are the reason why certain breads are so much more easily digestible, and actually good for you. Do not miss their soon-to-be famous sourdough pockets which are made with wild caught sourdough starter cultures. Certified by the Blue Zones Project, Journey to Good Health Cafe uses vibrant organic produce from Big Island farms for their artisan handcrafted 100% plant based cuisine and elixirs. Sourdough Pockets at Journey To Good Healthįine, we’ll stay at Alii Drive for this one. In no particular order, here are our favorite 10 vegan eats in Kailua-Kona:ġ. Be prepared to venture off the beaten path of Alii Drive for the most part. (Check out our vegan Hilo blog post here.) It may be that Kona caters largely to tourists, digital nomads and expats, while Hilo restaurants are aimed predominantly at long time Big Island residents.Įither way, it took us a while to dig through the endless sunset happy hours, sports bars and resort restaurants to filter out the tourist traps and bring you creme de la creme of Kona vegan friendly dining. We actually thought there were more and better plant based food options on the other side of the island in the foodie underdog that is Hilo. But it’s harder to find really good vegan food. To be frank, it’s not that hard to find vegan options in Kailua Kona. Our friend got the jackfruit nachos – loaded plate, he wasn’t too impressed overall but the cashew queso is on point.If you’re searching for the best vegan eats in Kona, Hawaii, read on. My husband got the Big Nasty – it came with a side of potato chips, not enough bbq sauce (no worries, they gave us extra), and very strange faux bacon that felt filmy and I couldn’t bite through it when I tried a bit. ![]() Some flavors I liked, some I didn’t like, so it made a meh meal for my taste buds. ![]() I ended up deciding on the strawberry seitan gorgonzola salad which despite not being sold out they were out of seitan! So again I settled on the beet poke bowl to try something unique and different. Unfortunately everything we had our eyes (and stomachs) set on was on the sold out list. The menu online is not updated but the online ordering one is. They are apparently working on changing their menu items in the very near future. When we arrived for dinner the first night we saw they are sold out of a bunch of items! Including their loco moco – we didn’t return the next morning because of this. Totally struck out here!
