Best vegan food in Kona

I tried a few of their dishes and also their soft serve and everything was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend the Mac and cheese, the falafel, and any soft serve.
Super friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Definitely pay them a visit!

Pros: Delicious all vegan menu, Fresh and variety of food options , Location

Great ice cream

Loved it the first time so we went back a second time. The vanilla soft serve is fantastic. Ube cookie crumbles also great.

Amazing

The staff is so, so friendly and the menu is really exciting! Don't be fooled - they have savoury food too, not just ice cream!

A must in Kona!

Wow! Delicious!

We were enthusiastically greeted and offered a free sample immediately as we arrived. They gave us a small sample of each kind of soft serve which made it difficult to decide which one to choose! There are pre designed sundaes or you can build your own with all kinds of fun toppings and drizzle. Don’t leave Kona without trying this place at least once!

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, Delicious Soft serve, Photo opportunity

Cons: Very little seating , No wafer cones, A bit pricey

Awesome

My family and I stopped in for a treat after shopping during our vacation. We had two different types of sundaes and I had a milkshake. Absolutely delicious. The soft serve is outstanding.

Best waffle cone 🍦

Best vegan waffle cone I’ve ever had, and love that it’s fully vegan. Person serving us was nice and happily offered us samples.

Every flavor was good. Regular cone was huge and plenty to split between two people. Don’t miss this place

YUM

Incredible soft serve and milkshakes! Milkshakes are cheaper than the soft serve somehow. Very expensive, upwards of $10 for a cup/cone, but milkshakes are only $9. They also do sundaes. LOVE! (Great customer service too!)

Pros: Delicious, Lots of Options, Customer Service

Cons: Expensive

Incredible

Best vegan soft serve on this planet, and likely in this galaxy. Seriously, this is amazing stuff. Plenty of not only fun, but also high quality and delicious toppings to go with the soft serve.

Vegan soft serve FTW!

Very nice staff - were running low on flavors “sorry vanilla and chocolate are all we have left” — uhhh can we swirl them together?? Heck yea! That’s all I wanted anyway. Delicious! **and no one should ever feel sorry for only having the OGs of soft serve! Thanks for being so delicious:)

Pros: Vegan soft serve, Vegan soft serve, Uhhh vegan soft serve

Cons: Ppl possibly upset at having the OGs available

Good; however service is slow

We went to the amazing Journey cafe and kids wanted their icecram ram here. To get one soft serve ice cream my daughter waited 15 mins and they guy was kind of condescending about it. She liked it and the presentation is beautiful but service was not as good as the cafe side

Pros: Vegan ice cream! , Cool option

Cons: Slow service , Not hospitable

Best gelato on this side of the island

YUM! pink aloha and chocolate are the best. It all tastes so fresh and flavorful. We only wish we’d tried it sooner…we’re just always full and satisfied after eating at Journey Cafe. (Good problem to have!) Now that we know we’d even just come for the ice cream!

Pros: Delicious, Fresh

Cons: Can be inconvenient for parking

Amazing!

We got their pink unicorn sundae and it looked like a princess/prince’s dream! The blueberry and pink aloha soft serve swirled together and topped with chocolate covered candies, sprinkles and cookies. I know it sounds super sweet but it somehow wasn’t! It was perfection and I wish I could have it again.

Absolutely delicious!

The ice cram was tasty and the cone and toppings were incredible! Not crazy expensive for what you’re getting and where you’re getting it—a small cone was plenty, and the ingredients seemed top notch.

Wow! Wow flavor!!

The blueberry and passion fruit swirl is the best tasting ice cream I’ve ever had. I came to the Big Island expecting some world class experiences but did not expect to find the best ice cream. That was a treat on top of a treat. I will definitely be back

Pros: Unique flavors , Vegan , Friendly staff

Yummmm

This place is a treasure! I had the cheesecake sundae with pink aloha/blueberry ube swirl, ube cookie crumbles sprinkles. Large was just under $10. This was heavenly, decadent and a real party in my mouth. Please do yourself a favor and eat this, vegan or not, you will leave satisfied. I was sort of disappointed they were stocked out of chocolate l, vanilla and cones at the time I came in, around 1pm. However, whatever is available will be amazing I promise you!

Pros: Vegan

Cons: No chocolate, vanilla, or cones available
