I stumbled upon this gem at the Honokaa Farmer's market this past week and was BLOWN AWAY. After…read morebeing warmly and kindly greeted by staff, I put in an order for the Deluxe Avocado Toast along with a Maple Mate Latte. Little did I know how that one small order would have such a profound impact on my taste buds. The culprit? This was, hands down, the BEST avocado toast experience of my LIFE. Am I over-exaggerating? Not in the slightest. Presentation: 10/10 This the most beautiful arrangement of avocado toast I've ever laid my eyes on. This masterpiece includes a lush bed of microgreens, heavenly slices of avocado, the sprinkling of goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, and green onions, the drizzle of balsamic atop a freshly fried egg, and the garnish of edible flowers. How could I eat something so beautiful when all I wanted to do was frame it?! Is it Avocado Toast? 10/10 It's pertinent that I note the following: if you eat here, your expectations for avocado toast will skyrocket into the galaxy. You perception and definition of "deluxe avocado toast" will be immensely impacted. Any other place that you go to for avocado toast after experiencing it here at The Honey Hut will be a disappointment. Guaranteed. Flavor: 10/10 As Guy Fieri often says, "FLAVORTOWN". What a medley of flavors, textures, and feelings the consumption of this avocado toast brought to the surface. Every bite was scrumptious. And my, oh my, how delicious the bread was! Words won't do justice to truly explain how delicious every ingredient was. Experience: 10/10 A whole lot of love and passion was put into making my meal. From the kindness of staff, to the beautiful setup, and indulgent foodie experience, 'twas incredible. If the vibe is right, the experience and meal will ALWAYS be a delight. As I lightly tapped the corners of my mouth after having indulged in this revolutionarily delicious meal, I found myself saying "If my avocado toast isn't like this from here on out, then I don't want it." That's how it ought be done! I don't often tell folks what to do, but in this case, I am here to tell you that you need to go and order the Deluxe Avocado Toast. You're welcome, in advance. PS. The Maple Mate Latte was delicious too. There's nothing like a latte that's light, refreshing, and tasty. Note to the owners and staff: Keep it up y'all, you are CRUSHING IT!

Their standards are good and they also have a barrel program which has some room for improvement, but is coming along. Where else can you find a barleywine in Hawaii. They also make their own ginger beer and their Dark and Stormy was delicious. My favorite beers were the barleywine and the tripel. I tasted 8 total. The tasting room is well appointed. I appreciate a comfy bar stool. The bathroom was nice and clean. They also have food trucks or food daily. This day they had Uncle Bob's smoked ribs, with truffle mac and cheese, and a cornbread muffin. Probably the best ribs I have ever had. They were seasoned so well I didn't even need sauce. Next time you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. They also have a crowler machine for to go.

The smoothie was thick and had a nice texture to it where you could still taste the pulp of the pineapple that was blended in. I don't think much -- if any, additional sugar was mixed in, because the smoothie wasn't especially sweet. If you're on vacation and haven't been eating particularly healthy, nor getting enough fiber in your diet, it's a good idea to give your system a boost with one of these smoothies. Smoothies here are priced in line with your average smoothie -- at around $13 or so. If you're looking for something else besides a smoothie, the menu here includes non-smoothie items as well, like juices, açai bowls, and various protein bites.

When a store is the only game in town for goods near a tourist entry point, one would expect/accept…read morehigh prices. Instead, Keaukaha General Store (within easy walking distance of the Port of Hilo) provided a great selection of sundries, some souvenirs of Hilo, and a small menu of Hawaiian favorite dishes at prices that were the lowest I've seen in Hawaii. My wife and I came here twice: first while walking into town, when we picked up souvenirs and an unexpected loco moco plate. It was a lot less crowded then, with us being the only ones there...allowing us to have a completely different experience. When we came back as we headed back towards the ship, other cruisers from the ship had discovered this place, and were stocking up on various things. It's a large modern space inside, with things organized displayed very neatly. There was no sense I needed to check for expiration dates. There was a portable ATM machine right by the door. A decent selection of alcohol at good prices were displayed (e.g. $8.81 for a bottle of Barefoot Cab or $18.99 for a 12 pack of Budweiser). I took the opportunity to get something I've not seen elsewhere: a bag of dried clams (aka Asari) for $4.19. Ended up finishing it that night...was really good. It has an all day menu, and was able to order a Loco Moco for breakfast. The all beef patty was very thick and dense, definitely from a frozen patty...good for Salisbury steak or Loco Moco, but wouldn't be great for a burger. The brown gravy was served hot and hadn't congealed, and the 1 egg had been cooked over easy, just as requested. It was obviously freshly made. It was packed to-go, with condiments and utensils available near the registers. There wasn't much space to eat inside, but because it wasn't too busy, found a space to sit in the back. I scarfed it down (probably too fast) while my wife finished her shopping. Also in the back, there are gourmet coffee machines and a chest freeze full of hand scoopable ice cream. There is a Pepsi self serve soda machine, along with various sizes of chips. My wife initially bought a couple of t-shirts as requested souvenirs for our travel mates ($25 a piece), and bought another one as we were heading back. On the 1st trip, she also liked a perfume body mist...the tester was the last one so the attendant sold it for half price ($14). For us, she bought a Hilo waterproof sticker for $2.75. And her favorite part of the store was the small portable Pokémon card machine, that dispensed random Japanese Pokémon cards for a quarter. She kept changing out dollars for quarters and ended up getting $5.75 of them...and a couple of them were hollos that we like. They do charge a 3.25% credit card fee, so cash is preferred when possible.
