Good old town cafe with plenty of breakfast and lunch items and sandwiches for a quick bite. Relax atmosphere and country site feeling.. outdoor seating too. .

This is a must stop no matter how much time you spend in Hilo. Incredible food and delicious kombucha. The staff are so nice and have the best recommendations. A great vibe. 10/10 would recommend.

This place has an eclectic menu derived from sustainable food sources featuring multiple vegan options and some meat options. The menu items are made from fresh health conscious ingredients and leave you with a feel good feeling. They also have a great selection of kombucha, wine and local beers! This is my 3rd time here and I have been impressed each time. It’s located right next to the Hilo Bay Hostel.

Food:fresh catch burger, sprout salad..Price:$$Customer Service 😉 Friendly staff

Its not your typical local hangout, but its delicious and so healthy. Your body will thank you after a visit. They have mastered the art of fermentation on all sorts of goodies; pickles, kraut, and drinks. There are non vegetarian/vegan options too, so dont stay away just because you love meat. I added a photo of their local beef burger just to prove it. Juicy, thick patty with soft bun, good veggies, and sauce. Soup was good to dip. Salted just right.Also, there is not just a kombucha rainbow of flavors, but beers, cocktails, and a full coffee bar...!!!!Scoop on trash: Great! You leave paper towels only with proper silverware and wooden picks when needed. Coffee and drinks are all served in glasses if you eat in. Compostable plastic ware for Togo orders.As a Hawaii born gal, Im a little weary of such an eatery since there are no locals in sight, but bring your local friends. Theyll appreciate it too, and probably need an excuse to check it out.

Food was absolutely delicious. A restaurant that can serve food that is both good for you and tasty is a treasure. If you are a kombucha lover this place is a must visit. They have flavors that I have never seen on the mainland. Looking at you, root beer kombucha. Which by the way, is delicious.

Food is super good. Everything Vegan or non vegan is healthy and made with love and plenty of aloha spirit. Their krauts are AMAZING and their hot sauce is super Smokey tangy and full of flavor. My favorite on the menu has to be the Booch burger which is a monster and packs culinary flavor and textures. The sweet potato salad is really amazing as well as with all of their robust smoothies. Every time I’ve been there the restaurant is super clean and the crew is really friendly and helpful. I love that they are so community based and have lots of local art, goods and service there. The Booch Bar is a definite Hilo fun vibe and experience worth a visit.

Great little place if you enjoy kombucha! They have a variety of flavors. They also have vegan options available on their menu which is wonderful to see.

Food was good - get the booth flight. Great deal at 5.75

Really delicious and creative use of kimchi, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods. I had the old school brekky sandwich, it had turkey and kimchi- the combo that i loved! We also had the rise up rueben omlete- it had sauerkraut in it- i never tried this before and it was AMAZING! The waiters were incredibly friendly. Plus they make their own hot sauce which is good.

We loved our meal at Booch Bar! Not only was the food fantastic (tons of vegan & vegetarian options, with meat/fish options as well), but the service was top notch as well! Highly recommend! One of our best meals on the island so far.

Excellent food, and very supportive of limited diets. Wide variety of kombucha with nice flavors.

We really enjoyed this place. Especially my wife. She loves kombucha.

The Booch bar is a great little restaurant!Its got a lot on the menu and is extremely tasty! We both got sandwiches, the fish sandwich and the Booch burger. Both incredibly good. As well as both Gluten Free/Celia safe! :)

Big island burger hits different, my favorite burger in Hilo! Great vegan options too

This is a fun place with friendly staff, great food and plenty of tasty libations. As the name suggests they have a variety of great kambucha offerings but they also have a lot of vegan plates.Personally, the taco salad with some home made hot sauce was my favorite vegan dish. Though it isnt usually my go to, they make a great bloody mary as well. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised, I will stop by again next time Im in Hilo.

Would have liked to have tried it because it looked great, but when I called this is how it went -“Is it possible to seat 7 tonight?”“Yeah, we don’t do reservations but there is probably room.”“Awesome, we will come right now, thanks!”“No, we are full right now.”“Oh! Okay, so how long would the wait for 7 be.”“We don’t do reservations, it’s first come first serve, so I can’t tell you.”“Okay, so if I walked in right now and asked for a table for 7, you wouldn’t be able to tell me how long it would be?”“Yeah, we don’t do reservations so I can’t tell you how long the wait is; it’s first come first serve.”“Right…interesting. Got it. Thanks.”Phone call a little before 6 pm on Thursday 7/29.

Good is so so, people is lack of enthusiasm about their work here. Not recommend.

Food is so fresh and clean! Staff is a delight. Lots of delicious menu choices

Amazing breakfast. I got the fish ommlette (goat cheese and olives) and coffee. Coffee was best Ive had on the island.

Friendly engaging staff. Delicious food at a good price. Clean bathrooms. They were very busy, but everything was cool and everyone was feeling the vibe! Grateful to have such a place in town. 😁🤙🤎

I wasnt at The Booch Bar, I was next door. They were great.

Very nice to find this place today. Healthy, concious food done right. Entrees can be vegan, semi or full vegan & they serve sustainably raised meat & wild fish.I had the catch of thr day tacos. Although it comes with a salsa for topping, i higjly reccommend eating it as it comes. It was seaso ed to perfection so the sprouts & greens enhance the natural taste of the fish & flavor from the grill. My wife had the vegan (lentil) burger. IT WAS GOOD. Whatever you do, make sure you try the Kombucha. Have 1 beflorebefore your food arrives & 1 during. This place wont disappoint you. we will definately return

Great locally owned eatery. All organic with a distinctive Hilo vibe. Great staff and food and coffee. Support local businesses it really matters. The Mighty Booch!

If you want a place for excellent food, drinks, and customer service, this is the place for you! Wonderful breakfast, beautiful art. Highly recommend!

The people are amazinggg and the kombucha is tooooo DIE FOR! Fresh, full of flavor, and makes you want more. Did the flights so can try more!

Great healthy choices. Groovy atmosphere and excellent food and booch. The chef was friendly and he even came out of the kitchen to answer our questions. Great experience.

Outstanding food and fresh Kombucha in tap as well as a small selection of Big Island Brewhaus beers. We are vegetarian and tried both the Veg Head sandwich and their homemade veggie burger and they were both fantastic. My wife lives Kombucha and enjoyed a flight of 4 of their flavors - all of which she raved about. Really great little chill Cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

Mask Wearing Servers are obviously suffocating. Business Owners need to have some backbone toward authorities and some compassion for their workers by NOT requiring masks.l. Or, you will be shut-down- karmically and personally if necessary.

Excellent, warm service!!Every time I have ordered a drink there, it has been a quick, yet memorable exchange. Staff is friendly and relaxed, and the atmosphere is welcoming as well.Small indoor seating area, some outdoor. Bar seating as well. Restrooms.The Kombucha is delicious. The smoothies are incredible. Tried two flavors there so far of the smoothies and have not been disappointed. Rich flavors and healthy, fresh ingredients.The coffee and chai are also rich in flavor and wonderful.I highly recommend a visit! Especially if you are visiting the island and looking for a quick treat!

I was delighted with the food and the booch on tap. The Fresh Catch Bibimbap was delicious with a perfectly cooked Ahi. I was also impressed with the breakfast turkey sandwich with pesto. Overall good quality and plenty of flavor.My Vegan friend really enjoyed the Verdant Vegan dish.Great to find an establishment that caters so well to various diets.

Really good lattes! Though the menu doesn’t have a huge variety of coffee drinks, the vanilla latte and the coconut latte are both excellent!

Great atmosphere and service. Food was great! Had the blackened fish omelette and highly recommend.

I want to like this place more than I did. The kombucha was good but the meals were super bland. There just wasnt any flavor to any of it.

Ordered the vegetarian sando and I loved it. We were recommended this place by a friend who lived in Hilo. Tons of options for Booch (as the name suggests) and cool vibe. Beet kraut was great. My girlfriend ordered the tempeh tacos and rice and beans were a bit bland but otherwise great little spot.

I was really happy with my experience here. Lots of options for the vegetarian/mostly vegan like myself who needs meat and dairy free options. Loved their cashew cheese, pesto, and house hummus. Vegetables and other ingredients are locally sourced and they say right at the door who their suppliers are. I want to make it a point of supporting restaurant endeavors like this more! Staff was also cute and friendly and the atmosphere of the place was really relaxing.

Good food in general. Excellent Reuben sandwich. A couple of mess-ups in the order, but overall a good dining experience.

Combined my two favorite things, smoothie bowls and kombucha! Tasted amazing!

Delicious, healthy, and plenty of food! Had one of the best coffees on the island here. Great breakfast and morning chill place!

Everything we had was amazing. And healthy. Friendly staff and the kids liked the food. What more could you ask for...

The Booch Burger was the greatest and I dont care for burgers. Really. The avocado dressing for the salad was sooo good. I was surprised. Really. I was a vegan many years ago and this was a little different for me. They serve both types. I like that. I never ostracized anyone when I was a vegan and it was nice to be back in that atmosphere without that attitude. PLUS, the food is delicious and everyone working there are the sweetest. Helpful. I look forward to having more meals there as there are many choices.

My kombucha cocktail was lovely and they had a great tempeh rueben sandwich

Good vegan choices. Friendly staff. Good drink variety. Would eat again.

Recommend for vegans and non-vegan types. Awesome breakfast fare and delicious kombucha on tap. The service is very friendly.

We had breakfast. Excellent seasoning on all the food, incredibly flavorful and very fresh. A great taste of the island. Fish was well cooked and moist, and coffee and kombuchas were also amazing. Kids had smoothies with their meals and they were filling and delicious.

Staff are welcoming. Food is exquisite, drinks are unique not the same ol every bar has. Would highly recommend the Kentucky cold brew.

I had the Big Island Burger this time, with a side of Ginger Beet Kraut, it was amazing!! Burger was cook perfect to order and tasted so good, I added the Cashew cheese and it did not disappoint. Paired the meal with a Root Booch! Usually I get the Fish Tacos which are also amazing! Will always recommend this restaurant!

Good food, beautiful art and good vibes.

Incredible staff. Delicious food. Bombass lattes. Great vegan options! And the staff are willing to make anything vegan. I love it!

Coffee was okay but the breakfast sandwich was the best I’ve ever had.

Just fabulous. Kombucha flights! Palo Santo kombucha! Don’t miss this place if you’re woke.

Wow! Some of the worst customer service I’ve ever had! We were completely ignored throughout most of our visit. There was a young man there representing the face of the restaurant who was completely and totally incompetent. Whoever is managing this restaurant is doing a very poor job to put it mildly. I am shocked at this business is even open.If that’s the way they treat their customers on a regular. There was a woman there who seem to be completely oblivious to what her coworker was or wasn’t doing.

Excellent food, friendly staff, convenient location, no BS. Family of four for lunch, fresh catch bibimbap, couple burgers, and a GF tempeh BLTA (Arugula). All meals well prepared, served (quickly), and very fresh tasting. With a steady stream of customers the wait didn’t grow, and everyone seemed satisfied. I guess the important part is the kombucha, the root beer kombucha was well enjoyed by a 10 year old root beer veteran. The rose was demolished by a six year old picky eater, and the mango merry mint was ravened by the boss. Decent few beers on tap, an Ola brew hit the spot. I’d be back tomorrow if I could.

The Kombucha is great, lots of flavors, and options (tap or bottled). Great for a healthy breakfast to start the day off. If you are looking for a healthy choice, you like Kombucha then this is your place!

Excellent breakfast food. Tried the bibimbap and the blackened fish. both delicious!

Great food! Amazing booch. Really nice folks and a relaxed atmosphere. All around my new favorite spot.

Nice friendly service. However the beet price is a little expensive for my buget.

Best Vegan food in Hilo ! Get the tempeh Reuben....also love the veg head sammy. The old logo and name was more beautiful and creative them their current one but grateful for all the great vegan food they have and cool decor/art inside !

“Booch” is my new favorite word! My husband and I enjoyed the food and drink here so much we stopped in again before heading over to Kona. He is still talking about their Reuben (and he doesn’t usually even like kraut). The veg sandwich was piled high with amazing garden goodness. My one complaint is they don’t sell t-shirts. With such an awesome logo for their booch...they need that plaster on everything!

This place is great! We got the root booch, lilikoi booch, tempeh BLTA, conscious culture burger, kimchi, tomato basil bisque, and sweet potato salad (all vegan) and they were all fantastic. I really appreciated that they had vegan options that were clearly labeled on the menu, and the servers were friendly and helpful. The art on the walls was stunning too. Some of the best food we had in Hawaii.

Fantastic lunch from this restaurant today. I had the blackened fish tacos and a side salad and everything was fresh and had wonderful flavor. Great price...great food.

Hippie to the max. Cool art for sale on the walls. Vegan and vege options, full array of coffee options, cork board full of local activities and services (a staple in any hippy food establishment), like 6 different kombucha options, a full bar, speciality health shots, multiple types of fermented veggies, and more. Check it out!

Great place! We had amazing lunch there and their drinks and smoothies are amazing!!! Must try it out!

Food and staff great.

Love the wide variety of locally sourced food. They have new and exiting kombucha flavors that can be refilled in growlers.

Healthy and delicious, they make their own fermented cabbage and sell kombucha ! Loved beet salad with cashew cheese and fish omelette

Good vegan options! A bit hot during the day, need more outdoor seating.

Food is good, the turkey Ruben, the mushroom omelettte and the sweet potato sides were original in conception. Tried the lilikoi ginger kombucha, also good. Probably your best bet for a healthy breakfast in Hilo.Ineffecint inventory management though (ran out of fish the previous day and did not restock even a day later). Changing to 5 stars after owner reply.

Great place for coffee, breakfast and lunch. Everything I had was top notch, especially the smoothie bowl, which was the best I have ever had. We loved it so much that we returned three days in a row.

Clean environment, friendly staff, amazing vibes!

Turkey Reuben was probably the best Reuben Ive ever had. Enjoyed their flight of kombucha as well. Highly recommend.

Great vegan (and non vegan) Grindz!!! Very friendly and accommodating.

Veggie burger almost made me cry it was so good. Fell apart---- but I no care it so delicious. I love that this place blends all walk of life- the hipsters and old folks come here. The meat eaters and veggiholics. Great business~!! Hilo is better for having you all

Had the fish tacos, kombucha flight and vegan cacao cheesecake. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Great food, great service.

This place will make you feel good about yourself and the food you eat here.

This is a cute little cafe in Hilo, where we stopped by for lunch. I loved the laid-back vibe of this place and I saw mostly locals dinning there, which I took it as a good sign. I liked that it is a self-service restaurant, and like the name suggests, it is also environmentally conscious.I was quite happy to see so many vegetarian options and decided to try their Portabella Mushroom Bibimbap and Mango Kombucha. The freshly made kombucha is definitely worth the price for a full tall glass, which was so refreshing and much needed in the Hilo heat. My bibimbap not only looked good, but tasted amazing! The mushrooms were grilled very well and tasted sooo good. Other people in my group also loved their food. If you are in Hilo, then definitely try this place!

Fast service, great fish tacos!

Only had the kombucha here but it was light and delicious. Its nice to have somewhere to get a fun delicious drink thats not an alcoholic drink!

For a $50 breakfast for two you would expect something that tastes good.

One of the few places to get good food with healthy ingredients. We love it

Wonderful blackened fresh catch breakfast (definitely better than grilled in my opinion). Açaí bowl is big and filling, not big fun of added turmeric flavored granola though.

Highly recommend! Awesome food and ambiance. Huge selection of kombucha. Really glad we found this place!

Every once in a while I get a major craving for their fish tacos. Their krauts are amazing and they have a great selection of booth. Also recommend their breakfasts!

Don’t come here if you have children. Used to be awesome with awesome staff but unfortunately the owners have decided to take what used to be an awesome healthy family restaurant and turn it into a hippy bar :( used to go 4 times a week as my office is across the street and they had some healthy options for my kid. I really liked that they had gluten free kids menu. Then they got rid of the kids menu but were still cool with making him a gluten free grill cheese with either veggies or there sourkraut but last time I went in they said the owner personally told them not to make that order anymore. When I asked if I could just pay for each thing ala cart they said we can sell you 2 pieces of bread and a slice of cheese but we won’t heat it up because the owner said so!!!! Clearly he has forgotten that Hawaii is all about Ohana! Boooo!!!!

Amazing booch and breakfast

Service was underwhelming. I ordered the bibimbap and there was no trace of Korean BBQ sauce or gochujang. What a disappointment. The sauce they did have in the dish was minimal and sweet. Please dont call it bibimbap if it is not, in fact, bibimbap. The dish lacked flavor entirely.

Amazing food but they forgot one of our orders and didn’t apologize and still charged us for it. Made no attempt to reconcile either. Interesting color scheme inside tho 🤔& you bus your own tables? Glorified mcdonalds

My favorite spot to eat on the island. They make their own fermented foods like kraut which are really good! The booch is of course great too, and the people that work there are always friendly.

Absolute favorite spot to grab lunch in Hilo.

Ive eaten here two times. First time was great, no problems. The second time I ordered a sandwich that was supposed to have avocado in it and I got it to go. I received my item and started walking home, as I was walking I checked that it was done correctly and saw no avocado. I went back and was told that they were out. I was offered pesto or hummus. The hummus ended up being so so small, the size of a stack of five quarters. I wouldnt have ordered this if it didnt have avocado and I did not appreciate how they attempted to make it right. I think this place has great food and nice staff. As with all places you just need to make sure they got your order right and not settle for something you dont want. Not fun to eat something you dont like.

Loved the veg tacos here! Beans are super tasty. Must go to this place atleast once

Amazing vegan options, the veg head sandwich was delicious!

Good healthy food and local beer/kombucha . Kinda coop/community feeling with locals and a few visitors. They are very careful re: Covid.

Great food, chefs know what they are doing back there! Amazing spot for foodies.

The place has a cool vibe and artwork. However, it didn’t meet expectations. I LOVE kombucha! I brew my own! I ordered a pitcher of kombucha from the tap for my friend and I. Not only did the staff forget but it was flat and waterered down.The burger was super crispy! What?!? And the fish was decent. The best thing about the place was the hot sauce!! The staff was a couple of high school or college students, nice & sweet but don’t expect great food from them.You’re better off going to Big island booch brewery directly if you want to you kombucha fix! :)

I recommend the fresh catch breakfast. The açaí bowl is was filling but average.

Excellent vegan and gluten free food. The Mahi was fantastic.

Good coffee mostly vegetarian choices, noisy ....only thing off the theme was a foot long receipt wasting several trees a day Im sure

Yum yummy and Yummier, 😚

Maybe the best healthy food in Hilo.I struggled for three days with quite questionable fatty oily alternatives, but this one was genuine and delicious.I would come back for sure!
