Island Naturals Market & Deli - Hilo

"A haven for those who have allergies. We were able to stock up on basic essentials that are tough to get at other stores due. It's small but has plenty of choices. Don't forget your bags."

"Connie store manager is VERY rude! I came for lunch 2 days in a row ordered salmon bento both days. Second day there were a lot of bones in the salmon. I asked to swap for something different. Connie made me break apart the salmon in front of her and after destroying it, she wouldn’t replace the meal. Definitely couldn’t eat it after that and had to walk out without a replacement or refund, hands smelling of salmon, VERY HUMILIATING. The store owner wouldn’t talk to me despite me trying to speak to someone above Connie. Store Manager: Connie needs training in customer service. VERY RUDE terrible experience."

"I want to like this place, I really do. I live close, want to support local businesses, prefer healthier alternatives, etc. It should be a homerun for me, but it's anything but. Their produce section, such that it is, has invariably disappointing offerings. I've purchased three of their self-made (or at least self branded) loafs of bread there, and all either had mold already or developed it within 24 hrs... preservative free is one thing, but pawning off already day old bread on customers is a bad look. The only things I trust their are pre-packaged goods, and those are insanely over-priced, like $13 for yogurt. They do offer things harder to find at larger stores, but finding other places to get those things is worth the effort."

"Island Naturals Market & Deli's ambiance is organically cool. The produce is au naturel and the variety of global and local products keeps me coming back with a hippie-dippy smile. The service is causally friendly and helpful with a smile. I'm particularly fond of their chocolate, baking aisle. Everything from GF pizza flour to finding the fundamentals of a good honest chocolate souffle. Mahalo."
