What a great find! It’s hard to find vegan food that doesn’t use nuts in everything, but this restaurant had plenty of nut-free options. My husband got an Italian pizza, I got the chicken wrap, and we each got a burrito to take home for lunch the next day. Super friendly staff and delicious food!

Another amazing experience at the Veli!!! This is the bar-none best restaurant on the island. We drive from Kona just to eat here. We had the nachos (again) and this time tried the fajita tacos. The tacos were the best we’ve ever had. Service was super friendly and food came out super fast. Worth the drive

Such an amazing sweet cafe! Kind service and delicious! Beautiful atmosphere, healthy food, quality and compassionate prices for their community. Our whole families favorite restaurant in Puna! Good job all around!

Best vegan option in the area. Sauces are everything when you eat this way… and their sauces and toppings are incredible. Tastes like junk-food vegan… but Not ! It’s healthy for the body and the soul. Highly recommend a visit and worth the drive if you’re not “just in the area anyway.”
Don’t miss… BLT, jackfuit anything … and add the coconut bacon to everything!!!!!
Thank you for existing

A lot of good vegan options. One of the best wraps I’ve ever had. A wide range of dishes with nice customer service. Recommend the crispy chickn and loaded nachos. It is well priced and quite filling.

SO glad we found this spot – hands down my favorite vegan spot that we’ve tried on the island (and we’ve tried a lot).
The Veli is the CUTEST little turquoise restaurant in Pahoa right off of the main street along the other stores. It’s beautifully painted with gorgeous murals and a seating area inside.
The menu has a variety of wraps, salads, bowls and pizzas. It was so hard to decide what to order!!!
We went with the Jackfruit Nachos (SOOO good!), the BLT Wrap (delicious) and Caesar Salad, for takeout. The staff was so nice and had our order ready to go for us.
So sad that we can’t make it back here again this trip, but luckily we have leftovers 🙂
It’s a must-stop for vegans and non-vegans alike!

Fabulous made from scratch potatoes seasoned to perfection. The chick’n wrap is hearty and satisfying! Great little spot for date night with a wide variety of options for vegetarian & vegan diner. Friendly staff is the cherry on top. Mahalo!

Really delicious food, which just happens to be vegan. I had a “chorizo” burrito with a side salad. The burrito was tasty and filling (and spicy!). The salad was fresh, with a yummy lime-cilantro dressing. The restaurant itself was clean and homey, with nice art and murals. This is a must stop when going to Pahoa. Seating is kind of limited, but you can get the food to go! 5 stars!

Yum!!! The food was delicious! I got the nachos and brownie sundae. I love having a plant based restaurant in pahoa now. The cats out back were super sweet as well.

I’m not vegan and the food is amazing. Had a spicy burrito that was delicious and ate outside while playing with the friendliest cats ever. Bob (the cat ) even sat on my lap when I ate. The place is super cute and the staff is the best (especially Rebecca) 10 stars!
