Great option - Edit
I loved my meal, the mac and cheese. The staff was so helpful and told me what was popular and recommended. I also got an espresso brownie and it was delicious! Very rich and the espresso was a great addition.

Full of flavor! - Edit
100% vegan restaurant! Had the Mac N Cheeze and BBQ Pocket. Would order again 100%. The hummus and toast combo that comes with the entrees were so full of flavor! The tomato soup was also flavorful.
Read moreGreat balance of umami, garlic, acid, etc. They know what they are doing in this kitchen!
I can’t wait to come back and try the pizza. They also make their own macadamia nut based ice creams.
Highly recommended!
Pros: All vegan , Flavor! , Great menu.

Simply divine - Edit
My wife and I love this place so much we asked them to cater our wedding on the Big Island. They did a phenomenal job, maintaining the fresh, delicious, small-batch taste for even a large order. We have seen them grow and delight in each new addition they bring out. Definitely try the ube pancakes and the pockets!

Outstanding food - Edit
Pizza, pitas, ice cream, brownies, etc., all vegan. Naturally gluten free options marked, and some other things can be made gluten free on request. Food was outstanding. Each entree comes with toast and tomato soup or hummus. Portion sizes are quite big. Ordering the bruschetta appetizer is unnecessary because it’s basically the same as the free toast.

Best food on HI - Edit
Best food in Kona, dare I say on the island, dare I say the entire U.S. Seriously, this place is so amazing. It’s a bit pricey, but you get a lot of food. They give you hummus or tomato soup (sooo good) with each entree, and the entree portions are huge. Great drinks too. I didn’t try their soft serve but it looked amazing.

So good! - Edit
Really great vegan food. All of the food seems natural and it is delicious, would highly recommend. I had the Mauna Kea pasta and it was so tasty. The garlic knotts and the tropical pancake are also very good.

Our food here was so, so tasty. And the soft-serve is incredible. Reminiscent of Dairy Queen but better. Really was the cherry on top to a delicious lunch.

Perfect! - Edit
I thought it was almost impossible to eat vegan while I was in Hawaii for three weeks. This place is wonderful and the staff is too! We had the mac and cheese, artisan pocket (made to order), knots, strawberry salad, pizza, and limeades and everything was perfect.

Last meal on Kona —Th Big Island - Edit
Checked out our room. Wanted a nice vegan breakfast before our flight. Stop at one location and if you’ve been here you know the location beside a salad, avocado toast and a veggie scrambled was the only options. Could side by the water. That wasn’t going to do it for us. About a block down the street was Journey—-SAFE!!HOMERUN. went there again. Again Not disappointed

The Journey Pizza was so good I nearly cried - Edit
Haven’t had a decent pizza since I went vegan and this tasted like one of the best I’ve ever had (vegan or not). I’ll dream of this place for years to come.

So yummy - Edit
Read moreI got the Margherita Sourdough Pocket and it was amazing! One of the best vegan menu items I’ve had. The seasonal soup that came with it was really good as well. The cafe is really cute with indoor and outdoor seating options. I’d love to try the other menu items.

Forgot my pizza - Edit
I loved this place in 2022.
Read moreFound was great but my pizza only came out after the others had eaten there good.
The cashier/waitress was overwhelmed
Consistency of the bread with humid was variable.
Won't get pizza again since more like flatbread with topics. Didn't like the BBQ flavor even though I got the classic pizza.
The salad was fine, I liked their pockets.
Pros: Food flavors
Cons: She took phone order after we had been waiting, Late arrival of food which I assume they forgot

Fun vegan spot - Edit
The food presentation & taste was pretty good! It didn't feel like a balanced meal--maybe that's why, despite liking it, we didn't go back for a repeat visit. But we don't regret going & would recommend! Leave room for soft serve from next door.

Best Vegan Food in Kona - Edit
Journey Cafe has a plentiful menu - pasta, salads, soup, pizza and more. The ingredients are fresh and any herbs or spices they use in each dish make a flavor party in your mouth. The beverages are refreshing, too. My husband loves the Mac & Cheese, while my favorite is the Rainbow Pita. The staff are friendly, helpful and always welcoming. Outdoor seating is next to an herb garden! Help the staff and bus your dishes and trash to the stand by the door. And don’t forget dessert . . . Sweet Journey is next door (part of Journey Cafe)!
Read morePros: Fresh ingredients, Friendly staff, Outdoor Seating
