9th Island Vegan

With touches from the owners time in Vegas, 9th Island Vegan was hands down the most unique spot I ate at in Hawaii.Located on the quieter end of Haleiwa, 9th Island Vegan has plenty of indoor tables and a street-side small patio with several tables and some umbrellas for shade. You'll walk up to the counter to order, but food and anything you need will be delivered table service.As a plant-based eater for nearly 20 years, I am always overwhelmed by the amount of choices on an all-vegan menu, because as the owner said to me - "at most restaurants, you're just an afterthought!". This menu was no exception and I had to turn to reviews to choose what to order.I ordered the caesar salad as a side (a MUST-try, I'll seriously be dreaming about this salad until I'm back - and the side salad is HUGE, it could be a meal in itself) and the Jackfruit Melt Sandwich. The sandwich was like nothing I expected and was slammed with flavor. Their jackfruit is so unique.I will be looking forward to trying more on their menu next visit.

NEW spot on the North Shore and they are killing it with some of the most delicious, freshest vegan food I've had on island! Highly recommend the quesadilla or the cheeseburger in paradise -- still dreaming about that garlic aïoli!!Service was also 10/10

My go-to vegan cafe on the North Shore. Love the variety on their menu. The tostada pizza was my favorite. I love the beans and chili on it. The crust was a little bread that was yummy. Would get it again. Decent personal size with 4 slices, too. Had the Mocko loco that had delicious gravy. Had the fried pickles and the side Caesar as well. Cute wooden table and walls inside. Surfing and Vegas decor inside. Very clean. They just opened 2 months ago. Love the bench seating on one side. Order at the counter on the right. They bring it to your table. Closed on Thursdays, but open 10-4 the rest of the week. Cafe is run by this couple. She minds the front with the orders and customer service. He is in the back making the food. Homemade ricotta and other items. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade. Perfect place to bring your dogs. The music wasn't too loud. Clean single-stall all gender bathroom. You can also do pick up orders. Would definitely come back again. Had a great first visit.

Amazing vegan food as you're traveling through O'ahu! Everything was made with care, intention, and love! A must try!

The food is absolutely incredible ! I can't even tell there's no meat. The flavors are all perfectly balanced . The chef cooks with passion ! This is a husband and wife owned restaurant with excellent customer service and a unique Vegas meets Hawaii vibe . I totally recommend this place . North Shore Oahu hidden gem.

Former location of Beet Box Cafe, 9th Island Vegan brings back another vegan spot to one of my favorite places, Haleiwa. I first stopped I here before my trip to the mainland for our son's wedding. It just happened to be their opening day! Being vegan I needed some food for my long flight and I picked up a meal. This is a fully vegan restaurant located in historical Haleiwa North Shore. They offer a range of international and American cuisine including lasagna with housemade pasta, rice dishes, wraps and more. Family owned and make their own cheese, pasta and sauces. Open Mon-Wed 10:00am-4:00pm, Fri-Sun 10:00am-4:00pm. Closed Thursday. Address is 66-437 Kamehameha Hwy, No 104, Haleiwa* Outdoor seating* Dine InThey have a good sized bathroom, too!Saudia, one of the owners, is incredibly nice and her husband is one good cook! when you come in, spend some time chatting with her, they have lots of experience and some pretty great stories. My quesadilla was subtly flavored and was one of the best I have ever had. I could taste every single flavor. We shared the Jackfruit "CHX" Sandwich was also flavorful and I loved the crunch. I don't know who does the prep work but the knife work is soliddddd. I notice all the things and as a home chef I appreciate things like that. They do offer beyond beef products. Not for me but I know they are pop with many. Come give this place a try, tell them Deb sends her best!SYOY! (See You On Yelp)Deb

Great service / chill laid back AC vibe. The sweet potato wrap was killer nokaoi Food amazing fresh ingredients made to order We will be back!!

The food is freshly prepared, super tasty and the menu has lots of options. The setting is pleasant, clean and well-lit. Good lighting matters more to me as I get older. I had their chili the first time I went, and fettuccine with veggies the second time. I find the pricing really fair for what is served. I will be back a lot. Note they are closed Thursday.

First time eating vegan. It was awesome how they made meat taste so good! No egg and I was wondering how they were going to pull it off!

As I walked through the doors of 9th island vegan in the historic town of Haleiwa, I was meet with a wonderful greeting and joyful travelers dinning in a beautifully decorated ambiance, The surfboards hung to the wooden walls and peaceful piano music set the tone! Even though I was 10 minutes before closing the staff couldn't have been any more pleased to help me . Automatically I knew this was going to be a fantastic experience! I already had my meal in mind (lions main gyro) sounded so delicious when I was walked past this establishment just days before unknowingly. and the lady of the house recommend the side Cezar salad (out of this world) the price was a bit high but worth every penny in customer service. In conclusion I give this establishment 10/10
