Vibe

EDIT Nov 2023: I hadn't been here in a year and things changed a lot. The prices went up and the portion sizes went down. They also crossed out many ingredients from the menu items, making them less interesting and yet more expensive. I'm sad to have spent $45 for two burgers (no drinks) and still be hungry... They were tiny! Unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming back very often anymore. Original review (summer 2022): Love this place, the vibe, the food and the drinks. It's a little bit on the expensive side for similar restaurants in Hilo, though. For that I take off half a star. They also accept laptops but only for a max of an hour, which doesn't make it a good place for remote work. That's a shame and what makes me remove the other half star. Today I had the Philly cheese steak, which was way too dry in my opinion (as of Aug. 2022) - especially for a Philly which is generally very juicy. I would not recommend this item. I also had a cacao elixir (aka hot chocolate) and that was very good - I would recommend.

Amazingly cute plant-based restaurant! I don’t think all menu items are vegan, but the majority are. I highly recommend the nachos! The cashew nacho sauce is fantastic - it’s so smooth and has a nice spice level. The only up level to the nachos could be some heartier chips, but no complaints - especially with the huge portions! There are some other folks serving jackfruit on the island, and Vibe Cafe is easily doing jackfruit the best. We also got the santorini flatbread, which was yummy. The employee who helped ring us up was also super kind!!! Great service, great overall experience.

Stopped for lunch and food was great! We had the nachos which were delicious but a huge portion (can definitely share), and the cali rootz burger which was very good as well. We also tried the lemon loaf which was very fresh and lemony! It was a peaceful little cafe and I would definitely recommend their vegan dishes! Very friendly staff as well!

I visited this spot on my last day of vacation and was getting stressed about going back to work. I walked in, and the "good vibes only" sign was right in my face, and I was greeted by a really friendly staff member. The greeting felt really genuine and made me feel good to be there. The experience really started to change my mood. I got the vegan chicken caesar salad, and it was absolutely delicious, the lavender latte was bomb, and the Cali Rootz burger was amazing. I'm so happy we went here and would go back again and again. If you're vegan and in Hilo, don't miss this spot!

The vibes were immaculate in all aspects. Hands down some of the best vegan food I’ve ever experienced (and I’m vegan). The coffee is amazing boots the house down (try the coconut rose latte). Also had the Big Hawaiian burger and it was the best burger I’ve ever had! The staff was also super friendly and we really enjoyed our multiple trips to Vibe while visiting. A must go-to on Big Island!

Super cute space and friendly staff. Wide variety of unique options on the menu, and a great selection of hard kombucha. I’ve never seen these flavors anywhere else! I had the Greek salad and everything was so fresh. Highly recommended for a healthy bite! There were also tons of drinks, but we didn’t have time. Will have to go back.
