9th Island Vegan

Located in Haleiwa town, 9th avenue vegan is a creative vegan cafe that surprises even non-vegans with bold flavors and generous portions. Fair enough for their Caesar salad, the jackfruit melt, and also lasagna. This restaurant is proof that vegan food does not mean boring or no taste. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming with casual indoor seating and a small patio making for a nice lunch stop on the North shore. Free Parking is located off to the side of restaurant.

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve tried in Hawaii! We ordered three dishes: the Caesar Salad, the Jackfruit Melt, and the Moco Loco👍👍👍 The Caesar Salad was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The romaine was crunchy and fresh, and the sauce was rich and creamy. The jackfruit had an amazing texture, and the bread for the melt was grilled to perfection. The Moco Loco’s gravy was incredibly flavorful and included spinach and mushrooms. Even my non-vegan friend said it was her favorite loco moco she’s tried in Hawaii. We loved the service just as much as we loved the food

My friend and I had a fantastic lunch here while driving along the north shore. It’s so amazing to find nutritious food while you travel. I have to eat gluten free, and there were 3 or 4 items marked on the menu as being available gluten free (and I suspect more that could have been modified to be gf); I got the sweet potato breakfast wrap. It was worth the 12 hour flight to Hawaii just for this wrap!!! So tasty. It came in a brown rice wrap which looked so similar to flour; the owner was very reassuring that she knows them by size and won’t get them mixed up. My friend got the fried pickle poppers and also loved her dish. The owner was so lovely to talk to! Highly recommend visiting.
