Sweet Potato Kitchen and Take-Out

Wow. Best vegan food I’ve ever had. Best lunch on the mainland, hands down. Super cheap too! The chef was absolutely lovely :)

This place is truly soulful. To be honest, it made my wife and I very emotional to eat here (good emotional — tears of joy). The food is that good.
It was such a pleasure to dine here. The owner/​chef/​server (all in one) treated us like family from the moment she said aloha. What a wonderful person. The food was so great that any words I try to write will not describe the taste and true happiness we experienced. The portions are generous and unbelievably fresh. The greens were so fresh that they seemed like to only be harvested moments before being served (probably were). Everything we had was amazing. If I could, I would have eaten there every day of my vacation. It’s that good.
Keep in mind that this place is tiny, has odd seating arrangements and it takes a fair amount of time to prepare each meal. Trust me when I say, it’s worth your time to travel to Hawi and to wait however long it takes to receive your meal. We left there so happy and satisfied.
I wish the owner/​chef/​server the very best. My wife and I will be back every time we visit the Big Island. Mahalo!

If your looking for clean fresh food and/​or if you are gluten free, Sweet Potato Kitchen is a fun find. We had the classic burger and

Can’t recommend this place highly enough. We went there quiet by accident and what a find. This place belongs in a big city it would Make a killer. Susie is amazing to talk to and makes the best food. Warning– things sell out, go early if possible.

We had trouble deciding what to eat, everything on the menu looked so tasty! What we did eat was delicious, gluten free, organic, fresh and local.
This spot has plenty of vegan options and it is gluten free, but they also serve eggs, making it vegetarian. (Which is perfect for me.) I ate here with my mum who can sometimes be tricky to find food for while travelling as she usually wants organic, vegetarian and fresh meals. This restaurant was perfect!
The owner was also very nice.

This place knows vegetarian! Excellent food, exactly what I was looking for. The mom and son who ran the place were super helpful and friendly. The beetsteak was delicious with a side of kale and mashed purple sweet potatoes, and I enjoyed a carrot ginger rosemary soup and a curried polenta. They also had a nice assortment of non-​caffeine teas to choose from. If you are veggie and are visiting Hawi, go here! Cash only!

Amazing lunch. The food here is organic, local, farm to table, and very tasty. A must visit!

A Super find! Susan and her son Truvio are real gems & are developing a great concept: healthy, vital comfort food. If you are ‘gluten free’ or working to stay away from refined flour & sugar etc etc then you are gonna love their menu. Even if you just have a regular diet & aren’t health conscious you are going to love sides of mashed sweet potato, polenta corn cakes, greens, eggs how you like them and… Mushroom gravy (made with 3 mushrooms loved this!) The drink menu is divine. Leave yourself time to savor and enjoy. This food deserves your attention. This place is full of tasty, excellent & healthy treats and it gets 5 stars.
