We had the taro burger and spicy pepper sandwich for lunch accompanied by some kombucha. The burger and sandwich were delicious. As a durian lover, I tried the durian kombucha. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It had the slight durian smell when you first try it but it slowly went away. I liked it. We also orderd the cassava pizza to go. The flavors were delicious. We came back for pancakes on our last day in Hilo and it didn’t disappoint. I was full at the end. If you like kale chips, they make a yummy spicy version with nooch. I look forward to coming back in the future. I wish the Cafe much success. Mahalo!

The place itself is really nice and the menu offers plenty of healthy yet tasty choices. Everything is fully vegetarian and most dishes can also be made vegan, which is a big plus.
Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with our picks.
We ordered the avocado toast, which turned out to be just one slice of bread topped with avocado and some seeds. It felt quite small and underwhelming, especially since most places usually serve two slices. A few sprouts or something extra on top would have made it more interesting.
We also tried the açaí bowl. The menu mentioned blueberry and strawberry but instead of being served in pieces or slices like the banana, they were blended into the açaí itself. The result was pretty uneventful and honestly we’ve had better açaí bowls elsewhere on the island.

If you are vegan or not, you have to try their food, especially desserts. so delicious and fresh. If you are on the island, must try their food on or out of your way to volcano national park. Hopefully they will be in business when I return after few years. This cafe would be one of my reasons to visit big island.

Cute little café with a good selection for vegetarians. I tried the Chickpea Burger and the Ulu Burger, the Ulu Burger was enjoyable, while the Chickpea Burger could use a bit more flavor. The sourdough toast was fine as well. Overall, a nice spot to try at least once, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian-friendly options.

I would give 10 stars if I could. Super fresh food. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options. The cassava pizza is a MUST try. Beautiful spacious seating inside and out.

Lovely, lovely vegan and gluten free restaurant. Very happy to find this gem on the island! Fresh ingredients, locally sourced, and the cafe has a positive energy. Portion sizes are large and generous; honestly, I would have paid the same price for half a sandwich and the soup.

As vegetarians we find it hard to find restaurants with good vegetarian options. Sweet Cane was our paradise! With a full vegetarian menu, the portion sizes were great and the food tasted amazing. The sandwiches and burgers could have done with a little more seasoning (it didn’t have salt) but overall loved the freshness of the food. We tried the pumpkin soup which was amazing, ordered a taro burger and avocado sandwich to eat there and also ended up ordering the Poke Bowl and Pesto sandwich for takeout. Loved the place and went back to order our lunch the following day as well! Must try!
