Food Scene

A Thai place like no other, this small spot is seemingly a hole in the wall but has the best massaman curry on Big Island cooked with love and Aloha by Tina herself.

Drinks & Nightlife

The Bayfront Kava Bar is our favorite hangout sport in Hilo! Grab a shell of kava that was grown behind the bar and rap with Hilo's finest conscious locals about life, love, the universe, and everything in between. Relaxed mood, live music, and intimate vibes make this a true cultural experience of modern East side Hawai'i island.

Shopping

A small, cozy market that is stuffed full of locally grown and often hard to find exotic varieties of tropical fruit, food, herbs, and more. Everything is locally sourced and one of our favorite things to get (besides the "free fruit" basket that is always filled) is the take and bake pizza with vegan and non vegan options.

Essentials

Natural food store with many options including vegan and gluten free. The salad and hot bar is superb and reflects the eastern pallet that Hilo has adopted, while the deli has wraps, sandwiches, and smoothies with fresh and organic ingredients.
