Umeke Market

I am so grateful this place exists.I feel the aloha just as much in the meal I enjoyed todayas I did when I first tried Umeke Market years ago.Aloha is in the service and the ambiance.This place is a gem that is worth making the trip to downtown earlier in the day. Mahalo for being here! My only recommendation would be to get spill-proof containers for the liquid foods. My plate lunch was leaking all over on the way home

Great place, great food and super friendly staff. The special today (Tues) was the Tamale Bake. Oh my!!! If you ever come when it's available, you should try it- now that's if you love cornbread. It comes with a side of salad or rice or half of both. The prices are reasonable for vegan restaurant. We will come again. Tip: as a visitor, I didn't know where to park. They suggested ALI'I PLACE. See my picture for parking address.

I haven't been Umeke for a while and just thinking about it yesterday; I decided to try today's special when I woke up this morning. I rarely eat out alone because foods just taste better at home. But I have a few places that I would go and enjoy dishes that I don't usually eat or new dishes that I don't even know it exists. This place has everything I care about. They use local organic fresh produce supports local, sustainable lifestyle; and yes, most importantly anything I had so far, very tasty. I haven't try any breakfasts so that's my next list of things to explore. It's very reasonably priced for the quality you get. Plenty of seating spaces inside and outside of the shop. It's usually busy when I go there, but as the line gets longer, someone comes out and take your order before you reach the cashier. You can order online and request the time of pickup as well. Highly recommend to try if you haven't yet.

Nice, friendly workers. Didn't realize it was a vegan place until I looked at the menu. The ambience was super chill and there was AC and a decent sized dining area.The plates were huge! I shared two entrees with a friend, the falafel gyro came with cashew queso and chips and then the nachos with chili and veggies and mock chicken. It was really interesting, if you're a vegan you're gonna love this place! If you've never had vegan food, I think you'll like it but you might not LOVE it. The mock chicken was good, my friend didn't care for the texture, I thought it was delish. I also really like the cashew queso. I thought the falafel gyro was kinda dry and would've been bomb with that cashew queso inside. All in all, I thought this place was great and I'd visit again to try other things from the menu. If you're looking for a healthy, cool (AC) place to sit down for lunch in downtown this is it. I also wanna try their smoothies next time!

Wow! Rarely can you combine healthy and delicious in the same sentence but this store is amazingly delicious and incredibly healthy! The staff are full Of Aloha and their prices are in line with reality! Not to mention, they're perfectly located for everyone downtown to be here to pick up or eat in the café style restaurant this class enclosed. Hope to see you here someday.!

Been going to this amazing `Āina based , vegan food, plant based restaurant shop for a while now whenever I'm in Honolulu Hawaii I make it a point to grab some lunch . Ambiance is simple and easy to order and get your food quick which I love . Made fresh in the back or order from the amazing buffet. Always fast friendly service . Love how they serve a lot of tradition Hawaiian food . Kalo stew and anything with Ulu i definitely go for . Can't wait to go back . Parking can be a little tricky I need to find out where the garage parking is .

The staff were super cool; and once my friend disclosed his gluten allergy, he made sure to reiterate what items were cleared.I don't have a gluten allergy and ordered nachos topped with chili and mock chicken. The "chicken" had a bit of sweetness to the batter, the chili was delicious, and the other sauces and toppings brought together a unique flavor for nachos. These were some of the best nachos I've had! The portion was huge; enough for two to share! I'll definitely stop by Umeke on a future trip to the city.

Are there taco salad here for the third time..... it's delish and satisfying!!! This salad checks off all the boxes...fresh, healthy, satisfying and cleanWill be back The servers are friendly and the service is fast!

Folks, these owners are 20 years ahead. God bless them for advocating for our health and having the strength to run a restaurant. Amazing. I think they are motiavted by "doing the right thing".Jen and Rob not only feed you food that is organic and/or local, but they feed you digestable food, food that actually assimilates in the body. This comes from careful preparation. For example, there is more easily available Calcium and Magnesium in greens and beans than you can imagineEverytime my wife and I stop in Honolulu, we eat both breakfast and lunch here. AND WE FEEL GREAT afterwards.Keep it up and may your business flourish! Excited to see what you all do in the future

Don't just enjoy the rainbow you can fill your health with it as well...Located in Bishop Square 'Umeke Market is 100% Vegan offering Breakfast (8am-10am) Lunch (1030am-2pm) with everything from Salads, Sandwiches, Nachos & Tacos, even Build Your Own Plate Lunch all which is quite overwhelming my indecisive noggin so I did go for the Portabella Sandwich.This yummy sandwich is loaded with diced portabella mushrooms which was marinated in balsamic sauce and topped with tomato lettuce, vegenaise and dairy-free provolone all on your choice of ciabatta roll, multi-grain bread or pita bread.All sandwiches comes with choice of organic greens or organic tortilla chips & queso (which is made from cashews) I got mine on a multigrain with chips & queso. I tell you what a delightful bite so light yet full of flavor I savored each and every bite...though whenever it didn't fall apart lol! It's not the large portabella cap but baby Bella mushrooms so the choice of pita may be the way to keep it all contained as if it didn't keep falling out the leaf lettuce was a difficult bit which I though since the mushrooms are in bits wished the lettuce was shredded to make it an easier bite.Though I'm not vegan I do fully enjoy the freshness it all brings and I wasn't used to the cashew queso and after a few bites was craving some fresh salsa that I know would've paired best with the mushroom sandwich.Certainly parking is a challenge in this neighborhood and parking at Ali'i Place is recommended. There's so much going on here including art decor on the wall is for sale as well. The staff here is so enthusiastic and friendly, please follow them on Instagram at @umekemarket and if pictures are worth a thousand words it would leave you breathless...Thank you!
