First - and most important- Happy Eats is in a new location. It's in the Walmart parking lot near…read moredowntown Lihue. It's at the far end of the parking lot, near the main road. Apple Maos doesn't know this and sent us to the old address on Rice Street (which is now full of construction equipment). There is no ambience, which in itself, makes it fun. Roasting chickens in a Walmart parking lot...for one of the best meals you will get! There's one large table which becomes communal if need be. And the staff couldn't be nicer - chat them up if they aren't too busty (which they aren't, because no one except locals and visitors who get tipped off know where they are for now). We got the marinated chicken and an a la carte order of lechon, and both were delicious. Order enough for leftovers. I later used the lechon to make a sandwich using Midnight Bear sourdough bread, a ripe avocado purchased that day from the Kauai Community Market, the tomato and onion that came with the lechon, and drenched it all in the sauce provided. Paradise!

We were beach hopping most of our last day on the island and came across a lot of areas with…read moreamazing looking food trucks. Days and hours of operation can be hit or miss though, so sometimes selection was limited. This place was still going to be open for a while so we hit the beach for a little bit and came back to order our dinner. My oldest and I got the fish tacos and my youngest got the chicken tacos. We enjoyed the food and it hit the spot after a long day of beach hopping. I could have used a little more spice, but that's just me. The beans were great but the rice was bland. Service was friendly and quick. They have multiple tables available for seating but they do have them designated for where you order from, so you need to pay attention to that.

My daughter tried the Dole Whip and said it had a nice tangy flavor, though she wished it was a little sweeter. I had the banana, strawberry, and papaya smoothie, it was decent and refreshing.

Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for smoothies, bowls, or a quick cool treat while exploring the island.

Apple Juice in an Acai Bowl????…read more I mean, I'm all for "When in Rome-ing", and trying new things... but the apple juice ingredient, in their acai bowl is a deal-breaker. Sours the taste on every bite, and I just can't. But Kudos to them for having "Smoothie bowls", which are basically just acai bowls, but diff. flavors. We came for the Dole Whip, and it was Dole-y!

Upon pickup there was a mixup, which the owner acknowledged and was accommodating, and I received 4 each of 3 different flavors (Fruity Pebbles, Oreo Crumble, and Caramel Heath Crumble), but it worked out because my teens would only be interested in those flavors anyways.

My husband and I got bowls and they were delicious. Portions were a little small but we both enjoyed our meals. Parking is limited so you may have to wait a bit.

Come for the view-- stay for the fruity-fresh bowls…read more I was immediately annoyed, as we arrived to this SHACK, in the middle of nowhere-- just behind an black Escalade that dumped like 8 chatty, photo-snapping, highly confused tourists out, like it was a clown-car. But man, for a lil' spot, Nourish Hanalei can get those orders out QUICK! How many employees they got in there???? I was impressed! My take: come here for the view first, and food second. But the food was lovely. Had the freshest toppings of any bowl we had on our 2-island trip. And the fruit isn't lathered in a sauce, to hide less-than-fresh taste. These felt like someone went into the jungle, sliced it up, and tossed it on our bowl. The ACai itself was suuuuper frozen, which logistically makes sense, for such a remote operation. But less tasty than other spots. Great stop. 100% worth a visit.

It's easy to miss this Taro chips factory but I would advise you not to! As recommended this place…read morehad the best Taro chips in town. No frills, just two flavors, regular taro and sweet potato chips. They let you sample. The host was very nice and it's located in a worn out house that you wouldn't know had this shop! It's not oily, it is not broken into pieces, it's crispy. It's pretty expensive though - $8 but what is not expensive in Hawai'i ?!

They have a sign hanging above but it's no large. There is a side door that's open and you enter there. They sell taro chips and potato chips. I recommend the taro chips since those are thin, fried to be very crispy and salted. They accept cash only.

As a certified coffee snob, I was so impressed by Coco Cold Brew! I was at the Farmer's Market over…read morethe weekend and was eager to try some good coffee and walk around the market. It's an adorable setup if you haven't been and the coffee truck is the most attractive business in the whole farmer's market IMO. I don't know why but I've been so disappointed by most of the coffee in Kauai. Lots of weak coffee and watered-down "cold brew" that barely tastes like anything. I got a cold brew with coconut milk and foam which was so yummy, fresh, and unique. I guzzled this down in a matter of minutes! There was a slight mishap with my order and it had to be remade since I cannot consume dairy.. it was 100% my fault for not making them aware of my issues with dairy and rather than pointing the finger at me, the barista was beyond proactive in making things right. On top of that, he was so friendly and caring as I profusely apologized for not asking the right questions. This is after I asked his co-worker 20 questions about the different options and she was so sweet, patient, genuine, and helpful. I haven't experienced customer service like this in a while and it was so refreshing to be treated so well AND get an awesome cold brew. Apart from the incredible service and cute vibes, this is the best coffee I've found in Princeville. Only wish I could give 6 starts instead of 5 so don't skip it if you're at the farmers market!
