    The menu is incredible. So hard to choose what to eat when everything sounds incredible!! Will definitely bring friends here in the future. Being from Austin, this place gives me a nice feel of home. I love the layout, love the vibe, love the colors. Feels nice to be here!

    Omg, this place is amazing! With vegan restaurants, it’s always hit or miss (I know this place is technically not vegan because they have vegetarian items but most dishes can be converted from vegetarian to vegan). We ordered the Zen plate, The VBQ, The McJegger Muffin, and Mexicali Blues. Everything was delicious and beautifully plated. We were all very impressed with each dish. My favorite was the Mexicali Blues with corn tortilla chips cooked in with the Just Egg and vegan cheese. Similar to chilaquiles, if you have ever had, the chips were crunchy, they top it with avocado and a delicious salsa, and a side of their own spicy sauce-super awesome meal!

    Been coming to Beet Box Cafe(in Haleiwa) for YEARS! Absolutely love this place~ even when it was just a little hole in the wall in Celestial foods market I remember the first time I had the "Alligators" smoothie and that's how I fell in love with almond butter/alternative butters :) The food here always taste wholesome, healthy, homemade and flavorful. If I could afford to eat breakfast and lunch "out" everyday I would come here ! So happy they opened their own spot a few years ago and love how welcoming the vibe is. They have local art up on all the walls and lots of indoor plants to fill up the cafe. There are lots of seating options and lots of food and drink delectables to choose from. Recently I've been loving their "Portabello Stachewich", it's very filling and healthy. and must have a Beet Box smoothie - rich, comforting and tasty all at the same time! Honorable mentions to try: 3 little birds (for lunch), breakfast burrito, Phantoms smoothie, Avalanche smoothie I ordered the Acai bowl and Sandwich to go and look how nicely it was packaged :) Lots of parking available in the lot. Hope this location always stays in business, would love to keep coming here for healthy, delicious food - forever!❤️🙏

    I came here for lunch after a massage next door. It was super busy and limited seating. I would recommend ordering ahead and taking it to-go. Pitaya Acai bowl was amazing!

    This one is pretty nice but it’s a bit loud due to acoustics and the AC was out when we went, no ventilation made it more of a sweat box.

    To be fair, I am not vegan. However, the experience here was just overall disappointing. The blonde cashier was incredibly rude and condescending. The food was genuinely so hard to eat. potatoes undercooked, cheese the consistency of foam, and eggs underdone and floppy. We couldn’t eat more than two bites without throwing it out. It is a very cute place, and good for pictures. If you don’t want to eat, and just post a pic, I would have to recommend it.

    We are visiting from Wyoming where there aren't many vegan or vegetarian options. There were 3 of us in our party, one ordered Thai tacos, another ordered what's for breakfast, and another Mexicali breakfast. They were all very delicious and had amazing flavor. I plan to make my eggs Mexicali style in the future. It was nice to have microgreens as well. We also ordered two vegan ice cream sandwiches (banana and Carmel coffee) which were delicious. Don't let their size fool you ..if you just ate, it's best to share one with someone as it's a good amount of ice cream in the cookie.

    My sister is vegan and I'm not. We had lunch here and it was awesome! She had healthy plate (tamari on side) I had yogi bowl with beets. The food was beautiful, delicious and filling. Their rice is yummy. I would eat here every week if I lived nearby. I highly recommend this place if you want healthy and satisfying food.

    I see why the Beet Box Cafe consistently gets such great reviews. Everything was excellent and, as is not always the case at plant-based restaurants, very filling. Great service, clean and snazzy decor, and, of course, amazing food.

  • 5/5 Vikram S. 4 months ago on Google
    Great vegan options, whether hot or cold. Plenty of options available for everyone. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking available.

    I contemplated making a review because I really have enjoyed this cafe for years. The staff have always been pleasant and the atmosphere welcoming. Their vegan pastries and in house kombucha is delicious however I have noticed the past few times that I’ve attended the quality of the food decreasing while the price has increased. I understand that costs are going up everywhere however I am still disappointed with the quality of the breakfast burrito I ordered for carry out today. It was essentially a pile of rice and beans on top a tortilla (3 slices of avocado and egg). It was very difficult to eat as it was not a burrito, just an open tortilla. I just don’t see the $16.75 value.

    Decided to try out the Açaí Bowls (the Green bowl and the Rio) and they were delicious!! Food came out quickly and had a very nice presentation. The cashier and cook were friendly and overall a cute spot to eat. There’s plenty on the menu I’d come back to try. Highly recommend if you want healthy eating/ vegetarian options

  • 5/5 High C. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing vegan place! The "Half Local Papaya" is one of the best papayas I have ever ate! SO healthy and juicy!! And having been to Southeast Asia, that is saying a lot! Lots of other scrumptious healthy options. Must stop in if you're in the area.

    Really nice breakfast with my daughter. Great service and accommodations for gluten-free and dairy free. Really nice staff and a down to earth feel with healthy fresh options.

  • 5/5 Molly H. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fresh, healthy, high quality ingredients! No sacrifice on flavor. A true representation of healthy and delicious eating as a Vegan/vegetarian

  • 5/5 Julian D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! We got the tacos and the bowl. Both were amazing and moved me, as someone who is often moved by good vegan food, the taste of fresh vegetables. Expertly cooked. Amazing.

  • 4/5 Vanessa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little vegan cafe! Cute atmosphere, food was good.

  • 5/5 Ana S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time eating here, had the Thai Tacos and it was amazing! Will be coming back to try other dishes!

  • 5/5 Gabriel M. 1 year ago on Google
    On vacation in Hawaii, I’m vegetarian and I had the Yogi bowl, I can confidently say this is the most tasty food I’ve had in Hawaii so far!! The ginger lemonade is also great!

  • 5/5 Matthis P. 1 year ago on Google
    Just fabulous. Yesterday we went to the other location and it was so fresh and delicious, alongside some great live music. Today we were randomly beach hopping and hungry — we looked around on Google and saw their second location was nearby. We just had to come back — we tried the famous award winning burger — ummmm delish!!!! Their salad dressing is one of a kind, light, airy, garlicky - and we also tried the portobello burger which was charbroiled with feta, also yummy. Come here even if you’re not vegetarian, get your fiber in and stop by because everyone here is so friendly!

  • 5/5 Jane L. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to eat vegetarian food! Recommend getting the Thai tacos and the VBQ burger. I love how colourful each dish was. Great service and would definitely go back if I lived in the North Shore! Not everything on the menu is vegan, but some items may be customized to suit your needs 🤙🏼

    I really enjoyed the Pitaya bowl! Any of the beet box locations are a just stop when I'm on Oahu!

  • 5/5 Ava A. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best avocado toast I've ever had! They also have amazing juices & pastries!

  • 5/5 Miriam H. 2 years ago on Google
    So enjoyed our breakfast here! Tourists from the mainland, we were looking for an eatery for our vegan daughter. We all found something good to eat. My husband and I enjoyed What’s for Breakfast. Our daughter had the Mexi Blues. DELICIOUS!

  • 2/5 Madison Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little stop but food took way too long to come out for quick service style. Waited close to an hour for our food. Food/ acai bowl just okay.

  • 4/5 Bryan 2 years ago on Google
    There’s quite a small crew running the restaurant - so it took some time for our food to come out. If you want a quick bite I would recommend getting an açaí bowl as those came out fast. Once the food arrived it was good!

  • 3/5 MiKayla 2 years ago on Google
    Pro: cute place great portions great desserts con: food took long - wouldn't have minded if it was great but it was just okay. no flavor at all warm pressed juice - didn't taste fresh got very over crowded very quickly- ppl waiting had to stand in line for a table or sit in the very limited seating area. two seats happened to be right next to our table and it was kind of awkward having a stranger basically right at my table .
