The 16 Best Restaurants in Hilo, Hawai‘i - Eater

"Kula Shave Ice started as a food truck parked at Pohoiki Black Sand Beach in Leilani Estates but moved to a Hilo storefront after the 2018 volcanic eruption wiped out the area. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife Luke and Tiffany Golden, Kula began with a mission to serve a healthier and more sustainable version of shave ice. The team makes their own organic syrups, sourcing the bulk of the ingredients from East Hawai‘i Farms, and they often give compost back to the farmers. Try the Local, a mix of soursop and liliko‘i shave ice topped with haupia cream. You can add poi for an extra twist (and a potent nutritional punch). Situated near the Hilo Farmers Market, it’s an excellent spot for university students to grab a treat after strolling the market." - Maya-Lin Green
