Nomadic (formerly Wicked HI) is a family-owned business that specializing in sourdough-based dishes All of their dough is naturally fermented using 100% Italian flour, made fresh daily, and baked to order in an Italian electric brick oven.
We stopped in during a weekend morning and ordered waffles for a late breakfast treat. They were warm, light, and fluffy, with just the right firmness from the sourdough base. The B.E.C. waffle (bacon, over-easy egg, and cheddar cheese) was savory and satisfying, while the Avocado waffle is a favorite that I am still thinking about! The combination of creamy avocado, fresh tomato, sprouts, goat cheese, and a warm drizzle of local honey was bright, rich, and delicious.
We also tried their signature Honey Slush, a dairy-free blend of fruit, raw local honey, and water that's incredibly refreshing and naturally sweet. Flavors include piña colada, coffee, lilikoi, and dragonfruit lemonade. We ordered the coffee slush (cold brew and raw local honey), which was smooth and lightly sweet, and the lilikoi slush, which was bold and very tart in the best way. Unfortunately, they were out of the coconut cream (sadness!); but next time, I'd definitely add coconut cream to the lilikoi to offset the tang and add more silky sweetness to the coffee slush. Sizes are keiki, small, and regular. We went with the small, but it was surprisingly filling and the keiki size would've been plenty.
The space is cozy with limited seating inside and outside, adding to the laid-back neighborhood feel. Service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming. Parking is easy with spots in the back, plus metered parking available out front.
