“We picked up a cake here for my Hawaiian birthday trip. The pineapple upside down cake was sweet and delicious, the inside of the cake had a more mild flavor that complimented the syrupy exterior well. It was an excellent balance of flavors!The lady was so helpful, over the phone she helped me pick out a cake that would last the long trip to our hotel, and even gave advice on how to keep it overnight for the best flavor when I picked it up.Great experience!“
“Enjoyed our visit to Nicoco and great option for anyone who is dairy free! The flavors were tasty and felt homemade. Wound up going with the Lilikoi and the chocolate sea salt. Nice place to stop by if you’re in the area.Dietary restrictions: All dairy free!“
“We didn't find a ton of great options in Hilo for dining, but were pleasantly surprised by this great spot! There was something for the fish-eating lovers, and the vegetarians, as well as some great Kombucha! Quick service and outdoor dining option.“
“Always a great place for breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. We bring our family here. They have a kid friendly menu and we always all look forward to the Desserts! We've spent 2 Birthday dinners here during Covid. It's just a no brainer. What to expect when at Cafe Pesto for Dinner, good food, good service, nice environment, clean bathrooms, kid friendly, great drinks, fast service.Update: March 21, 2024"Hibiscus French Coacktail" was sooo.. good!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu.Kids fave: pizzas, pastas, loco moco, and burger.“
“Great restaurant looking over Hilo bay. We took out two items as we couldn't get a reservation. Hilo sunset sushi was so good with poached shrimp, spicy salmon, gochujang aioli,cucumber,sesame, sweet potato chips and tempura crisps. We also ordered side of crab cakes: it came with nice fresh salad and tasty salad dressings. We loved that too. Next time we would like to sit in the restaurant and enjoy the foods over a good view.“
“It is a great bakery offering a wide variety of pastries and desserts. The staff is incredibly welcoming and readily answers any questions about their sweet treats. During our visit, they generously offered complimentary samples of the brauni.“
“Excellent Thai at reasonable prices. Offering avocado as an option instead of protein made the Garden Curry ($16) extra delicious.The Pad Thai ($20 Sunday special) was also outstanding, chicken was tender, vegetables were flavorful and cooked just right.Their "mild" is very mild, you may wish to go one step up, or do what we did and add a little soy sauce.Portions were healthy, enough food for lunch and dinner for both of us. The service was friendly. This place appears to attract locals.We were very happy to find Tina's Garden Cafe.“
“Really good curry dishes. Interesting veggies, like purple potatoes and pumpkin. Brown rice was especially tasty and a beautiful color. I thought I knew good Thai food but this is REALLY good Thai food. My partner said level 2 spicy was too hot so be careful with your levels and we generally eat level 3.Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy and was safe“
“Probably some of the best meals I've had in Hawaii!! Ono wrap is great and the hotdog (topped with sprouts, onion and cucumber) is my absolute fav. Menu options are pretty limited and they do run out, so come early! Everything is super fresh and satisfying, and the entrees come with a selection of fruit which I LOVE. I've also gotten different fruits every time I've visited which is fun and a great way for me to try new ones. You can also get whole coconuts.The shakes and smoothies are to die for. Really really recommend any shake with mac nut ice cream in it, it's so delicious.It's a very small location, but has lots of outdoor seating and is surrounded by nice flat ground if you want to picnic it!Vegetarian options: Hummus and veggie wraps, as well as smoothies and vegan shakes.“
