My husband and I shared: - Turkey, Cranberry, and Cream Cheese Popover Sandwich - Pastrami Popover Sandwich - Ube Donut - Lilikoi Butter Mochi Both sandwiches were fantastic. I love popovers and it's such a great idea to turn them into a sandwich. I think I had a slight preference for the turkey one, but you can't go wrong with either. The desserts were a little disappointing. The donut was dry and the butter mochi was just ok. If you're in Hilo, come here for lunch!

Delicious and fresh served with some citrus butter. We also got a chocolate puff that was like a mini pain au choclat. They also had cold cans of coke which earns bonus points!!

He also asked for extra house sauce, which really made the sandwich pop! The interior looks a little well-loved, but I took it as a sign of success through genuinely kind staff and good food. The sign says they were established in 2019, and after enjoying their breakfast options, lattes, mango puff, and triple coffee scone, I can understand how they were able to survive covid! The vibe was comfortable, the food was 10/10, the service was impeccable, and the pa

10:30am Sunday out of coffee. Limited menu and only a few items available. Shelves mostly empty too. $20 for a small Rueben that was soaking wet. I don’t understand how places get the ratings they do…
