Sweet Cane Café

Went here after reading all the good reviews, food was decent at best, the burgers and the sandwiches didn’t have any sauce or spread in them which made it very dry. Atmosphere was good and service was quick but I would not want to go back again.

The yummiest and cleanest vegetarian food in all of Hilo... possibly the whole island of Moku O Keawe. Service is excellent and the staff has great, uplifting energy. I love everything about this place from the beautiful woodwork of their tables to their bright, tropical centerpieces. You will not be disappointed with the food and atmosphere here if you're not a vegan or vegetarian. A smoothie and cookie after your main meal is a must. I believe I got the Farmers salad which comes with 2 different plant-based patties. Their macadamian spread is incredible!

Incredible food and lots of GF options. Loved dining here! On our trip to Hawaii we kept going back.

We had the taro burger and spicy pepper sandwich for lunch accompanied by some kombucha. The burger and sandwich were delicious. As a durian lover, I tried the durian kombucha. I wasn't sure what to expect. It had the slight durian smell when you first try it but it slowly went away. I liked it. We also orderd the cassava pizza to go. The flavors were delicious. We came back for pancakes on our last day in Hilo and it didn't disappoint. I was full at the end. If you like kale chips, they make a yummy spicy version with nooch. I look forward to coming back in the future. I wish the Cafe much success. Mahalo!

The place itself is really nice and the menu offers plenty of healthy yet tasty choices. Everything is fully vegetarian and most dishes can also be made vegan, which is a big plus. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with our picks. We ordered the avocado toast, which turned out to be just one slice of bread topped with avocado and some seeds. It felt quite small and underwhelming, especially since most places usually serve two slices. A few sprouts or something extra on top would have made it more interesting. We also tried the açaí bowl. The menu mentioned blueberry and strawberry but instead of being served in pieces or slices like the banana, they were blended into the açaí itself. The result was pretty uneventful and honestly we’ve had better açaí bowls elsewhere on the island.

If you are vegan or not, you have to try their food, especially desserts. so delicious and fresh. If you are on the island, must try their food on or out of your way to volcano national park. Hopefully they will be in business when I return after few years. This cafe would be one of my reasons to visit big island.
