The Milk and Honey Cafe - lotus - 03-26-2009
Aloha all! I thought about putting this in the non classifieds, but decided to post here instead because it's more a review, rather than a classified [
]I discovered a new place in Pahoa a couple of mornings ago called Milk and Honey Cafe (not to be confused with the milk and honey farm, nearby). It's inside the Pahoa Museum and they serve mostly local, organic fare. And here's the best part: It's CHEAP!! I had a nice sized cup of organic chai along with breakfast which consisted of two eggs a couple large scoops of brown rice, avocado, tomato, and some amazing raw cheese that they get from an Amish farm, all for $7.00, including tax.
The owners, Natasha and Mozy are super sweet and just delightful to talk to. So friendly! They've got the most adorable little baby who keeps them both company with big smiles and bright eyes, the cutest little gem!
Mozy is originally from Israel and the menu reflects that in such a good way. Everything is made from scratch right there in the kitchen, simple yet amazingly tasteful food. Hummus, eggplant salad, baked goods, organic coffees and teas. They even make their own pita bread. Mostly everything is vegetarian, with a Mediterranean flare. And they just got a juicer, so they're also going to have smoothies and fresh juices available very shortly!
Natasha is originally from the mainland, I want to say California, but don't hold me to that... She was just the nicest person to meet. She's really down to earth and wants to see Pahoa thrive.
Overall, I would say that this little place is a wonderful new edition to Pahoa! They even offer free wifi with your own laptop. So if you're sick of spending all your rainy days at home on the computer like I am, you can go down to Milk and Honey, sip on a cup of organic coffee or tea, order one of the delicious dishes from their small, but very well rounded (and inexpensive) menu and play around on the internet in the company of some super cool people. Not to mention taking in a little bit of art and history from the free museum....[

Unreal! Mahalo for posting this.
We need more good food, caffeine & hangout places here.

I'm with John!
Real hummus to go with the pita bread! YAH!
I just saw them open yesterday (after lunch at Ning's) - can you tell us a little about the museum aspect too?

Count me in as well. If I had the $ I'd eat nothing but organic, and if the trend continues, there may come a day when organics become cheaper than food raised with creepy chemicals and biological nightmares.

There's a museum in Pahoa?
RE: The Milk and Honey Cafe - mikeDOTexe - 03-27-2009
Yeah, their food rocks. [
] Mozy and Natasha also make a mean Acai smoothie. I had an acai breakfast there that totally filled me up. A huge bowl with granola, coconut, and "bee pollen".For lunch I had tempeh lentil cauliflower quinoa extravaganza.
Good music going in the joint, and free wifi!
I've heard rent is expensive in Pahoa, I really hope they stick around. I definitely plan on going there a couple times a week.

Thanks Lotus, that was a great bit of information.
It sounds like a really fantastic place to go and especially with free wi-fi! The food and drinks sound incredible. Do you know their hours? Do they only serve breakfast? Are they open on weekends too?
These sound exactly like the kind of people we should be supporting!
Aloha au i Hawai`i,

I go there first!**S**
The hummus and pita plate is the ultimate...generous portion, super good quality and only five bucks. The organic Peruvian coffee was the smoothest I've had in a long, long time.
Their talking about having soft music during the evenings.
A little cafe that is a major win for Pahoha, imho.
Mahalo Milk & Honey Cafe folks!
