Why We Love It: You don’t get fresher, more sustainable plant-based eats than ‘Ōlena Cafe. Every ingredient used in the smoothies, juices, salads, sandwiches, (and all other menu items) is sourced from local Hawaiian farmers and trusted partners, ensuring that every item is organic and farmed with care. In fact, the ‘ōlena (turmeric) used in the juices and smoothies is grown in the cafe owner’s backyard in Kaneohe (aka where this Kook Aunty grew up!). Though this dedication to sustainably sourcing ingredients can sometimes mean that a menu item is not available, you can rest assured that everything you taste is the best it can be.

By sourcing their ingredients from local farmers, ‘Ōlena is also creating a stronger, more sustainable community on Oahu, and that’s something we are so excited about.

(If you don’t already know how we feel about small-scale local farming, you should check out our Kook Aunty guide to volunteering at Alemany Farms in San Francisco).
