Booch Bar

Hilo

LoginSave

With a nouveau hippie vibe, this colorful downtown cafe takes health food up a notch. Breakfast hits include well-stuffed roasted veggie omelets and buckwheat pancakes, moist with apple bananas. Lunch and dinner mains range from mahimahi ceviche tacos to hearty quinoa bowls. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.

The cafe's name refers to its 'Big Island Booch' house-label cultured products: kimchi, kraut and kombucha. Among the kombucha flavors, Super Ginger Tumeric Tonic sounds strong but goes down very smoothly.
