Since 2011, Sweet Cane Café has proudly served as the place to go for healthy yet flavorful farm-to-table fare. Their cane juice, slushies, and smoothies bring in people from far and wide, but that’s not all they offer. A ton of gluten-free and vegan fare round out their menu, making it a great place to settle down for a memorable meal. They don’t just serve delicious food and drinks either. The team makes it their mission to help every patron feel at home in their eatery.
All their offerings begin with fresh organic ingredients sourced from local farms all over the Big Island. They start every day by harvesting all the ripe fruits, veggies, and produce in their modest garden. Depending on the season, they may end up with peas, broccoli rabe, bananas, citrus, cassava, papaya, and cane sugar, of course. Then, they go beyond their property to get the rest of their ingredients from local growers. Their mangos come from Kona farmers, for example, while their tomatoes and lettuce are sourced from Waimea.
With those ingredients in hand, they get to work making all their menu items to order. Every last item comes out of the kitchen with bright, bold flavors to remember. Plus, their items come packed with vitamins and minerals, giving you plenty of energy for the day ahead. Even better, since their foods and drinks only use local ingredients, they’re sustainable, too, making it easy to feel good about all your selections.
No matter what you decide to enjoy, feel free to kick back and relax in their quaint eatery. Their friendly service makes the place feel like home, while their gorgeous décor sets the stage for a spectacular meal. If you’re in a hurry though, they’re happy to wrap up your selections to go. They do aim to minimize their impact on the environment further by avoiding single-use cutlery, napkins, and the like. So, if you have your own reusable dining ware, it’s best to bring them along.
