To see them in person at a store was not something I thought the brand even did! The employees were helpful and sweet making sure you can find what you're looking for. They had some pretty cool snacks and veggies, that being said it was pricey. The store felt comforting and not crowded as you shopped. I love the two products I bought of kava, the chocolate was surprisingly tasty. They sold various local brands as well! I highly recommend!

It's a long story, I was told that there was no manager at the Hilo store, and to call Connie T. at the Kona store. I spoke with Connie, but got disconnected. I called back, but I got hung up on several times and told that Connie doesn't want to talk with me, and I can try again tomorrow at 10am. This place used to have some aloha, but now they can't even do basic functionality: Have a manager on-site, or empower your workers to handle basic tasks. The workers in the store are always nice, but the managers are rude. Avoid this place.

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.

Really cool place and pretty big inside.... I think I spoke to the owner and she was really nice and helpful...I was in a rush though since I was trying to change my flight to an earlier flight to get back to Oahu.... I ended up choosing the Hungry Farmer Salad - regular size since I don't generally eat lunch often.... I opted for the chipotle black bean burger for it...and they said it it house made and I believe them...really good... I'm not a big caesar dressing person but that is what came with it but overall this salad was really refreshing and good... They have some good size tables so i was able to bring my notebook in so i can do some work as well. Will come here again!

I was recently seen by a Chow Hwang PA-C for a painful 3+cm cyst removal on my midback centered over my spine. Local anesthesia was done. I was cut open and prodded to drain that cyst. Packed with dressing. PA-C Chow states it's gonna hurt after so I'll give you a work slip for 2 days. I mentioned a few vicodins should cover that pain.. easy fix. I asked the PA-C if she could cover the wound with Tegaderm/opsite for more protection from outside elements. Her first response was, "We dont have that here in the clinic." WTH?!? Im a retired Kaiser RN for 22 years. I know the clinics carry it. I also had to make sure the PA-C ordered a Rocephin IM injection to prevent any infection at the spinal site. She seemed hesitant thinking the prior course of oral Bactrim would take care of any infection. I also requested narcotic pain meds for comfort when the lidocaine wears off. Remember I came in because of pain to the site. Medical Assistant Marcia was awesome. While doing the dressing change she was able to get a few Tegaderms to help protect the surgical incision. Chow Hwang PA-C the clinic STILL HAS THEM. Thank you Marcia MA. When I went to the pharmacy to pick up my meds there were no pain meds and was told that the provider has 2 more patients then will get back to you. 40min passed and still no reply. Went to the front desk and asked a friend to call the MA to find out what's taking so long and also needed my work slip. Was told the MD is not prescribing pain meds. WTHHH! Make me wait like a dumbass for nothing like my time is not worth anything. Definitely not patient oriented. What happened to Kaiser?

Which I really appreciate and that's why I went to her. I felt like the initial visit was more expensive than it should be. But when you're in pain you go to whoever will see you. And it's great that she could see me. Problem is, is my neck has not improved at all. She said it was just muscle pain from it being out of place and it should resolve itself soon. But I'm someone who used to have regular chiropractic Care. I've been to chiropractors who will fix it immediately and there's immediate release. So I'm not happy that I paid $155 and I still have a stiff neck that I can't turn. She seemed nice enough. But I did not vibe with her I did feel pretty uncomfortable around her from the moment I met her. At times I felt her questioning was inappropriate, almost like she didn't believe me when. I was talking about a back injury and I'm getting physical therapy for. She at one point wanted to see my x-rays,like I carry those things around. At one point it seemed like she was going to deny me treatment, if she couldn't see that my back injury was healed. But I would have put all of that aside, if my neck had been completely adjusted, you know that crack that gives you instant release and relief.
