The service and experience was amazing. The live music was perfect for breakfast. The food is all homemade and with fresh ingredients. The fruit with each plate was perfectly picked and ripe. The Moco Loco was delicious. The coffee was local and brewed fresh. I highly recommend this location.

You can't miss Pele's Kitchen when driving down the adorable town of Pahoa - it's the brightly colored art-painted building. The inside is just as inviting, such a cool and artistic vibe! My son and I were looking forward to breakfast here to celebrate our last day of our trip, and it didn't dissapoint. We were greeted by the sweetest server who took the BEST care of us the entire time. She went above and beyond to be sure we were taken care of! We were so impressed with all of the delicious vegan options on the menu, and they didn't disappoint. We tried the jungle juice (SO good!), exotic fruit plate, tofu scramble - and my son had the french toast. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Pele's Kitchen is such a vibe, we will definitely be back!

Amazing location for farm to table inspired specialties. Fantastic omelets waffles fruit and juices available. In-house made syrups including fresh vanilla farmed locally. Owner is an artist filled with aloha and fun and it is infused into every aspect of this place. Art work is fresh and local! Souvenirs like in-house produced island chocolates and honey available. Gift boxes too!

Beautiful spot to have breakfast! Friendly folks and delicious food. The loco moco bowl was delicious, I had it with their grass-fed beef. Hubs had the laulau pork, beautiful presentation too! Kids menu is small and simple, kids loved the homemade French toast. The garden is gorgeous! And there was beautiful live music inside. We will most definitely be back and will be bringing our visiting family with to experience this beautiful establishment! Mahalo!

Absolutely delicious! I’ll be going back before I head back home to California. Their house made tempeh was too good! Thank you for having vegan/vegetarian food that is actually good!

We stumbled upon this gem. So lucky we did. Not only was the interior fun but the food was amazing. We had the sourdough French toast. Their homemade lilikoi syrup was incredible on top. Everything look delicious on the menu. The people were friendly.

Very fun place with a laid-back Hawaiian vibe. We all had breakfast, and there were both local fare and other options available. We also tried the small fruit plate, which provided a taste of the more exotic fruits in Hawaii.

BEST breakfast burrito on island!! Seriously. I used to work at a breakfast diner that prided themselves on their breakfast burrito and it doesn’t even hold a candle to this beauty. The spices used are truly a work of art. Truth be told, all food is phenomenal. Along with the experience too! The staff always is happy to help and takes their time with you so you always walk away feeling special. The owner is also present doing a little bit of everything all the time - which you always love to see! If you haven’t been here, what are you doing?!
