Hanapepe Cafe & Espresso

3830 Hanapepe Road, Hanapepe, HI 96716

Foodies: Jen and Dan

Ordered:

Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

Over all experience:

This is the only vegetarian restaurant on the island of Kauai! Super friendly (verging on the edge of creepy) waitstaff and great food! They understand what vegan is, and are very accommodating. I wish they had more locations around the island!

Ok, I was gonna leave the “verging on the edge of creepy” statement alone but I can’t. One of the waitresses kept coming to our table and asking us if we wanted to take some pastries with us. The question is benign enough but the delivery was reminiscent of a scary movie. You know that really creepy movie with the kids who want you to stay and play forever, yeah that one. Her stare was blank and her voice monotone, it freaked us out a bit. Forever more the Hanapepe Cafe will be known to us as “The Creepy Place in Hanapepe”. That doesn’t mean that we wont go back because we will; the food is good! I put the creepy place in Hanapepe in the top three vegan friendly restaurants on the island. I just hope that the next time we visit we don’t get asked to stay and play.
