Best Vegan Restaurants in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"Peace Cafe is a small vegan restaurant near the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. They offer a variety of options from a vegan Poke Bowl, to BBQ Tempeh Plate and Tofu Scramble. We went with the Heart and Seoul with TVP & Tofu and the Curry Katsu Plate, both of which were delicious!"

"The all-vegan menu at this modern-hippie, counter-service cafe has an international flair. It roams from Asian items like barbecue tempeh, veggie bibimbap and tofu poke to a Moroccan stew with spiced chickpeas and a burrito with black bean and quinoa."

"Banana-based, dairy-free ice cream makes a deliciously guilt-free dessert, with varieties including açai, greens and chocolate macadamia nut. Try the banana version with sliced pineapple, papaya, puffed quinoa, shaved coconut and honey — it’s like the tropics in a cup. No wonder the original food truck at the base of Diamond Head has spawned three more locations, including this large storefront by the University of Hawaiʻi."

"Banan serves up frozen desserts made exclusively from Hawaii-grown bananas. The desserts are blended with a variety of custom flavors, using local guava, pineapple, 'olena, macadamia, and more. Get yours in a cup, a bowl, or a papaya boat!"

"This casual eatery focuses on organic and creative foods, from kale falafel bowls to the Oh WOW Laulau (slow-cooked taro and sweet potato served in luau leaves with a choice of poi, brown rice or tofu poké). This little gem is located in the rural farm community of Waimānalo and has partnered up with many neighborhood farms, so you can be sure the ingredients are fresh and local."

"Located within walking distance from the famous Kailua and Lanikai beaches, Ai Love Nalo (GoogleMaps) has prime real estate and delicious vegan food. This 100% plant-based restaurant is known for its bowls. The Medi bowl and the Buddha bowl are by far their most popular dishes."

"Loving Hut is an international vegan restaurant chain with the slogan, "Be Veg. Go Green. Save the Planet." They offer gourmet vegan cuisine "for those making the noble transition to a plant-based diet." Although the menu varies by location, it typically includes appetizers, soups, salads, entrées, desserts, and special beverages. Both Asian and American meals are served including mock meat and vegetable dishes. Loving Hut was created with a vision that all beings could live in peace, love, and harmony with each other and the planet."

"This is one of two Honolulu locations of the vegan casual-food national chain (with another in the downtown Fort Street Mall), but all 38 sites have different menus. The Loving Hut on King Street, inland of the Ala Moana Shopping Center, offers vegan spins on Vietnamese pho, Chinese kung pao dishes, and even the American ham and cheese sandwich, i.e. vegan ham with cashew pate. During Covid times, Loving Hut is open Monday to Saturday."

"Honolulu is lucky enough to have a Loving Hut, which is a small all-vegan chain. The menu is mostly Asian cuisine, with options like Summer Rolls, Crispy Rolls, Lemongrass Tofu, Eggplant Tofu, Guru Curry, and more. There is also the Sweet and Sour Hapa, which is tofu, vegan ham, onions, peppers, pineapple, carrots, and sweet and sour sauce."

"There’s more to eat in this surf town than just burgers and shave ice, and Haleiwa Eats Thai is one of the best examples. The four-year-old establishment doesn’t look like a typical Thai restaurant—with turquoise Apple monitors forming a pinwheel on one yellow wall–but its dishes are as traditional as they come. Eat family style to sample the array of curries; we also recommend the Pad Kee Mao."

"High-quality vegan options aren’t really “a thing” in Honolulu, until it comes to Vegan Hills. Try their award-winning “Why Not Chos’– a serving of Mexican-style nachos made with cashew cream and jalapeno queso. They make all savory nut and mushroom meats in-house, so you won’t have to settle for soy or franken-meat; these do, however, come at a price, and portions vary wildly."

"Located in the up and coming Kaimuki neighborhood, Vegan Hills is a perfect place for a vegan meal between shopping at the nearby shops like Sugarcane, Awa and Olena or Da Shop. A fully vegan joint, they have brunch, salads, soups, bowls, apps, coffee and cocktails. All you have to do is sit down and decide!"

"If you love Italian food, head over to The Lovin Oven, which is a plant-based eatery, serving up delicious Italian cuisine!. Their menu has plenty of salads and pizza options to choose from. Start with the Spinach Salad, and then order the True Hawaiian Pizza, with jalapeno barbecue marinara sauce, vegan pork, vegan Portuguese sausage, grilled pineapple, caramelized maui onions, and green onions."

"Some places in Honolulu offer pickup as an option, like Magnolia Ice Cream & Treats in Kalihi-Palama."

"Sited right in the middle of Honolulu, the Manifest is a café during the day and switches to a nightclub at night. Surprising, isn’t it?. Alongside some crazy dancing, this nightclub is known for its innovative drinks, largest whiskey collections and is often referred to as the perfect spot for mind-blowing cocktails."

"Foodies in Honolulu should not miss dining at the flagship Roy’s restaurant while here. Although there are a number of Roy’s locations around the country, the flagship restaurant is found right in Honolulu. Known as The Original Roy’s Hawaii Kai, this restaurant is the brainchild of popular chef Roy Yamaguchi."
