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

"Owned by a family of farmers, Sweet Cane Cafe has been serving vegetarian and vegan dishes since 2011. Sisters Cherub Silverstein and Seraphina Prell incorporate sugar cane juice wherever possible on the menu, including in fresh-pressed juice and juice-based smoothies. To go with the drinks, look for cassava pizza, daily soup, dairy-free spreads, and hearty salads made from organic vegetables grown on the family farm, where Silverstein and Prell have help from their parents, Jackie Prell and John Caverly. During the school year, Sweet Cane is a popular spot for University of Hawai‘i students, who make good use of the free Wi-Fi, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and homey atmosphere. Try the Durian Cacao Smoothie, a local favorite." - Maya-Lin Green
