Mouthwatering Scones… I had the best blueberry cream cheese scones at Waioli Kitchen & Bake Shop in Mānoa on the Salvation Army Family Treatment Services campus. Their baked goods are comforting and warm. The scones are very filling.

Ramen, For the Win! I love a great ramen. It’s my go-to meal, especially on a cold, nippy day. What’s exciting is that I went to a ramen joint that offered vegetarian and vegan options with kale noodles! And it was so tasty! The kale noodles tasted like regular ramen noodles.

Soba Salad & Izakaya Reivew My friend and I dined at a Japanese vegan izakaya restaurant in Honolulu. We were so excited to try this place. Finally! I’ve frequently driven by and have always wanted to eat there. However, the location isn’t the best, and the parking is limited. They have a small lot. There’s […]

Conversations is a cute, dainty café and store on the […]
