    Let me preface by saying that I am not close to being vegan or vegetarian...But i love food and my bestie that lives in Waialua is a vegetarian so I like to check out new spots. HIGHLY recommended 9th Island if you are up in Haleiwa. Its a cute vegas themed interior. The owner came out to chat with us they moved here from Vegas since they fell in love with hawaii. Her hubby ia the chef and her son ia also working there. The food was delicious! I had a "gyro" special which was so good! They used lions mane mushroom and served it with a delicious salad over a toasted pita. I would get that again. The Mediterranean pizza was also delicious! They have kombucha on tap which was yummy! I love supporting small businesses i hope they do well.

    Excellent lasagna with homemade pasta, homemade vegan sausage and delicious sauce and cheeses. Best Caesar salad I've ever had. Nice ambience.

    Cauliflower Buffalo Wings

    I would definitely go back. It was nice and clean. Friendly staff. The slot machine was cool. The food was delicious, ate every bite. I might try the lions mane steak next time. Also glad they also have breakfast all day. I didnt order any this time, but I do appreciate breakfast at any time.

    Awesome choke dip!!
    Steve H.

    Wow. If there is a wait - WAIT! If you like beer go across the street to get a few there. Ok, all Vegan, super clean friendly folks for sure wanting to make all right for you. The choke dip was hot and the bread with it was perfect. A bit of a "zing" to it but not too much. The Jackfruit sando was the best for sure. Thanks for binging here.

    The growing mocktail menu. Love the dragon fruit

    My go-to vegan cafe on the North Shore. Love the variety on their menu. The tostada pizza was my favorite. I love the beans and chili on it. The crust was a little bread that was yummy. Would get it again. Decent personal size with 4 slices, too. Had the Mocko loco that had delicious gravy. Had the fried pickles and the side Caesar as well. Cute wooden table and walls inside. Surfing and Vegas decor inside. Very clean. They just opened 2 months ago. Love the bench seating on one side. Order at the counter on the right. They bring it to your table. Closed on Thursdays, but open 10-4 the rest of the week. Cafe is run by this couple. She minds the front with the orders and customer service. He is in the back making the food. Homemade ricotta and other items. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade. Perfect place to bring your dogs. The music wasn't too loud. Clean single-stall all gender bathroom. You can also do pick up orders. Would definitely come back again. Had a great first visit.

    Former location of Beet Box Cafe, 9th Island Vegan brings back another vegan spot to one of my favorite places, Haleiwa. I first stopped I here before my trip to the mainland for our son's wedding. It just happened to be their opening day! Being vegan I needed some food for my long flight and I picked up a meal. This is a fully vegan restaurant located in historical Haleiwa North Shore. They offer a range of international and American cuisine including lasagna with housemade pasta, rice dishes, wraps and more. Family owned and make their own cheese, pasta and sauces. Open Mon-Wed 10:00am-4:00pm, Fri-Sun 10:00am-4:00pm. Closed Thursday. Address is 66-437 Kamehameha Hwy, No 104, Haleiwa * Outdoor seating * Dine In They have a good sized bathroom, too! Saudia, one of the owners, is incredibly nice and her husband is one good cook! when you come in, spend some time chatting with her, they have lots of experience and some pretty great stories. My quesadilla was subtly flavored and was one of the best I have ever had. I could taste every single flavor. We shared the Jackfruit "CHX" Sandwich was also flavorful and I loved the crunch. I don't know who does the prep work but the knife work is soliddddd. I notice all the things and as a home chef I appreciate things like that. They do offer beyond beef products. Not for me but I know they are pop with many. Come give this place a try, tell them Deb sends her best! SYOY! (See You On Yelp) Deb

    You don't have to be vegan to enjoy this place!!! Everyone must come and try it out!!. It re ..the sweet potatoe wrap is HUGE and so AMAZING!!!! His caesar salad has house made dressing and croutons...but his screte weapon is the Hawaiian Jerk Ribs! All you carnevors will love it!! It really is a must!! The owners are lovely, so come support local and enjoy delicious food while you're at it!!

    Sweet potato wrap - freshly made
    Hélène C.

    Great service / chill laid back AC vibe. The sweet potato wrap was killer nokaoi Food amazing fresh ingredients made to order We will be back!!

    Spinach and artichoke dip! Insane
    D C.

    My favorite restaurant on the island!!! I'm still thinking about the fried pickles, Caesar salad, cauliflower buffalo wings and artichoke dip!! My favorite of them all is the buffalo wings and Caesar salad. We chatted with the owner Saudia and loved hearing how she and her husband opened their dream restaurant. We definitely plan to return and try the rest of the menu. Every meal was a work of art, incredible thought to flavor, texture and presentation. If you're planning a trip to Oahu, definitely recommend this spot!! 5!!!

    Pasta primavera!!

Sadly, the landowners decided it was too much of a liability, so that's no longer an option. I truly wish this spot was sticking around longer because the sandwiches here are absolutely delicious. Everything is strictly vegan, but honestly, it's enjoyable for everyone -- whether you're vegan or not. The flavors and quality really stand out. The shop itself is small and quiet, with a cozy atmosphere. They also offer some great health food goodies and fresh produce, making it a nice one-stop for a quick meal and some wholesome snacks. Parking is available, which is always a plus. If you're interested, don't wait too long -- they're closing at the end of June. Please give this place a try before it's gone!

The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.
