    Thai iced tea and Pho

    One of the best, if not the best food we have had so far in Big Island!! We ordered Beef Pho and Pad Thai and they are so delicious and fresh!! Btw, you must try the Thai iced tea!

    What a find thanks to Yelp! Delicious food. True local atmosphere. Great prices. Son is a picky eater, so he ordered fried chicken at LL next door, and we ate on the patio between both businesses. A shaved ice place is there too, but they weren't open yet. We were there before 11:00, though, so early for shaved ice. Just came from a disappointing Flumin adventure close by, so this lunch helped us feel better about that waste of time and money. Cute little Hawaiian town to eat lunch.

    Papaya salad & fresh summer Viet rolls.

    Discovered this place by accident while waiting for my order at L&L next door. What a find! I had the papaya salad and also the fresh summer rolls which were fantastic. Also got a scoop of chocolate ice cream which was also really good. She makes everything fresh in the back. Support these local businesses!

    Chaba's is my favorite restaurant in North Kohala. She makes the food to order so it's always totally fresh. Delicious Thai food!

    Aloha, is this place still open for business? Every time I go it's closed.

    Surf Camp Coffee - Smoked Salmon Toast

    I love the Surf Camp cafe in Niu Valley on Oahu, so I had to visit the Big Island location in…read moreWaimea! This coffee shop is located in a small plaza with a pizza place, taco spot, and Merriman's. The plaza itself has plenty of parking even when it's on the busier side on a weekend morning, so it's not hard to find a spot. Inside the cafe, there's a retail section that sells clothing and small goods, and a separate side to place your order and sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is bright and welcoming with a minimalist vibe, and even when we visited on a weekend morning, it was easy to find seating either indoors or outdoors. Service was wonderful -- we were helped promptly by staff, and my drink came out quickly. I got the black sesame latte with a chocolate chip cookie. I thought my drink was perfect, as the flavor of the black sesame was nutty, pleasant, and just the right amount of sweetness paired with the espresso. The cookie was on the softer/puffier side, and although it's not my preferred texture, it wasn't too bad! To sum up, I really enjoyed dropping by to get coffee here, and I feel like the quality of the drinks at Surf Camp is consistent across their different locations. I'll definitely come back if I ever find myself on Big Island for another trip!

    This spot was perfect!! Came here expecting to just grab and coffee and go but we stayed to enjoy…read morethe beautiful store. The shop had a very minimalistic design with the perfect touches of Hawaii that made it such a relaxing and homey place to have breakfast. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which wasn't super crowded on a Saturday brunch time. I got the cucumber bagel and black sesame latte. I loved the crunchiness of the cucumbers and you can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. The ricotta was the perfect touch and brought everything together for a simple and filling breakfast. I love black sesame, so it was such a nice surprise to see they had a latte on the menu. I liked the nuttiness of the sesame, but the coffee was more on the bitter side. Such a cute shop that is the perfect addition to Waimea town. I would definitely recommend coming here for food and to check out the shop!
