I would say that the coffee drinks are better than the food options, although the food wasn't bad.

The baristas working were friendly and greeted me right away. The service was fast. Will I try it again? Probably not. But it was fun to try!

Latte was fine, but the cold brew was basically coffee-flavored water. We got the chicken and veggie burrito as well. The chicken burrito was fine, but the veggie was 90% corn. The worst part though was the service. The girls were only talking to each other and were very short with all the customers, almost like it was an inconvenience that they had to take orders. We waited almost 25 minutes for 2 food items with only us and one other couple in the store. Only when there was a lull in the conversation one girl walked to the kitchen and grabbed our food and it was clear it had been sitting out for a while. She then just set it down and walked away to talk to the other girls, didn't even ask who had what. Wouldn't recommend.

I enjoyed finding a vegetarian-friendly restaurant on wheels in this "trailer park food court". I'd…read morelove to come back for more of their food, since they have several vegetarian-friendly items on their menu. The drink menu also seems nice, & I would've liked to try more of their teas & stuff. I got the "Tahitian Dream" (iced coffee drink), & the "Bread Melt". The Bread Melt was basically a slice of bread with melted mozzarella cheese & pesto, with a salad on top of it. It took a while to make, since there was only one person working there at the time, but the wait was worth it. I also liked the ambience around them, with a table & chairs under a thatched beach umbrella, & some tropical patio furniture under a tent-like cover. There were some chickens that wandered thru the area as well. They could've used at least one more staff member, but the lady who was there was friendly & helpful. They are a cash only restaurant, though, which is probably their only drawback. When I asked if they accepted cards, she was at least apologetic & stated that there was an ATM down the road.

I asked for a coconut milk instead of whole milk. When I picked up my drink I could see the latte looked diluted. I had a sip and it was not good! :( It tasted like a syrup with a little coffee and milk. It has to taste like a latte, but I was so disappointed. I gave a tip and wasted $10 for a latte I had to throw. Got me another (good) coffee nearby coz I need caffeine today.

When we asked about getting a single scoop, the staff mentioned it was nearly the same price as a double, so we "might as well" get the double.

I'm sharing this feedback because if smaller portions or keiki sizes were available (we were with a child), we would have happily purchased three orders. Instead, we ended up leaving without ordering anything.

The guy was super friendly and really helpful. The coconut was enough for two people to share (they're pretty big) and it was filling and hydrating at the same time. He even said that once we were done with the coconut, he would crack it open for us so we could eat the meat. Super awesome! Needless to say that was exactly what we did. Give this place a try!
