Vegetate

Vegetate quickly became that place for us—the one you discover and then plan your entire day around. It was one of the only vegan restaurants on the island, and it was so good we made the 40-minute drive every single day without hesitation. Worth it. Every time. Dinner, brunch… repeat. The food is consistently incredible, creative, and deeply satisfying. And the desserts—truly unhinged in the best way. The banana pudding and chocolate pie are absolute standouts. Pro tip: add the coconut whip to the chocolate pie. This is not optional. This is a life choice. The service was just as amazing as the food—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which somehow made everything taste even better. If you’re vegan (or just love exceptional food) and you’re in Kauai, make the drive. We did it daily a

So glad another vegan restaurant opened up in Russell’s old location. It is soooo delicious. Scan QR code to order and pay, our food was delivered in record time, and all the dishes were beautifully plated and yummy. Try their boba drinks…the tropical one was good. The ube pancakes were our favorite…the perfect texture and flavor. And so pretty! We will definitely be coming back. Even if you are not plant based, you will love the food here. 🫶

We ate here this morning and will definitely be back. Our brunch was delicious from start to finish. We split the Ranchero, good sized portion. We tried the chai boba. I believe the boba tasted homemade. For dessert, the live chocolate pie. This was very special. The restaurant was very clean throughout, so relaxing, too. Vegan food prepared very well!

Vegetate is a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant (all items are vegan even if it’s not specified on the menu). We got a late breakfast - the banana pancakes and the ube mochi were delicious! They also had a thanksgiving plate and pecan pie. The pecan pie was amazing, so yummy!

Let’s start with the fact that I didn’t want to go to this place. No meat? Why go? But being a good husband, I joined my wife for a meal here. Have to say it was pretty good. The fake bacon is weird. Not even close to the real thing…but that isn’t their claim. It’s apparently made of seaweed and chick peas. Go figure! But the Da Braddah kalo (taro) burger was a pretty good sandwich. Again, it shouldn’t be called a burger…but tasty. Ask for some sriracha sauce. It helps! My wife had the French toast. It was OK. The Mac salad was good. And the chickpea salad too. The chocolate cake was legit.
