I stopped by Loved by the Sun while I was strolling around downtown Hilo and tried out their Live…read moreGreen smoothie -- kale, parsley, pineapple, and banana. 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.

I hate leaving negative reviews, but my experience at Loved by the Sun in Hilo was disappointing…read moreenough that I felt compelled to share it. I purchased a juice pack and ended up being two weeks late using it because I was on the mainland after my mother passed away. I was spending that time handling her estate and cleaning out her home. When I explained the situation, there was absolutely no empathy or flexibility. The response I received was essentially, "Oh too bad." What made it worse was that this wasn't my first negative customer service experience here. On a previous visit, I was checking my loyalty points and learned I had earned a $10 reward, and had to use it right then and there. When I asked if it would automatically apply, the employee responded with another dismissive "That's too bad" type of attitude rather than helping me understand the program. Ultimately loosing the $10. I understand businesses have policies, and I wasn't expecting special treatment. However, kindness and compassion cost nothing. During one of the hardest periods of my life, a little empathy would have gone a long way. The juices and products are good, but customer service matters. Unfortunately, after multiple rude interactions, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I hope management takes a closer look at how customers are treated, especially when they're going through difficult life circumstances.

In no time, we had a beautiful açaí bowl and smoothie to bring us back to life. The server gave us excellent recommendations and was so kind - this was a fantastic respite and I genuinely wish I was basking in the sun and grubbing on this bowl right now!

All night good music, good food and drinks, friendly & fun loving people having good times. My friends were here before so it was easier to navigate through this place from parking to once we enter inside. But if I came here by myself for the first time, I probably would feel a bit intimidated. $10 cover charge. Drinks and foods are somewhere from $8-$20. It's pretty dark around this area, so drive safely on your way home.

I tried the green juice and the roots juice and both tasted very natural fresh healthy and great. I like how they come in glass jars especially.

They sell food items and everything looks good, I only tried the Turkey pesto wrap and I liked it, it tasted very healthy, it was light and not overly filling so if you are super hungry you may want more food with it. I'm excited to try more of their menu in future.
