ruffage natural foods

easy to walk right by but agoodfind. it's located in the same shop as the ahi bowl & pot. ruffage hasgoodportion sizes (not large like everywhere else) & the sunflower special sandwich i had was loaded with plenty of fresh, healthy produce - ripe avocado, sunflower seeds, grated carrot, tomato, alfalfa sprouts & mustard. it was very tasty & satisfying. along with the house special smoothie i got (banana, papaya, almond & date) i was completely full afterwards! i'd go back again & definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice bite to eat.

best food in hawaii. some of the best food i have ever eaten, especially the chilli - nothing fancy, just an all around awesomelygoodquality meal, fresh and tasty. went here twice in one day. would call it more of a takeaway/cafe than a restaurant, i would get food to go and take it the short walk to the beach to eat.

the service was great, the girl there is super friendly and remembered me (only ever got take out so cant comment on table service)

reallygoodfood. the spicy ahi tuna and avocado salad is amazing. everything else i've had there has beengoodtoo!

for a red and white meat free meal hit, ruffage is a great place. they have agoodselection of meals and smoothies. we had the vegetarian burrito and the pok'e on brown rice.

this place is ticked off the back streets of waikiki

overpriced for portions and truly nothing tasted spectacular (we got anti oxidant smoothie, leafy salad with taro burger, veggie chili dog). customer service wasgoodthough. cashier allowed me to use the veggie dog instead of a sandwich for the combo option.

food wasgoodand serving size was decent. i got the veggie burrito which was more than filling. didn't get a chance to try the smoothies, but they looked really yummy!

with poisonous customer service and skills, what goes into the food can't be healthy!. being vegan and staying at a nearby hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to have found a natural food store, however this is where thegoodnews ends. each and every time we visited the store the staff had shown next to no interest in being there, questions answered with silence, so having to repeat asking. the management again and again giving blank looks when asked for vegan options. this attitude is just not how the operator of a natural food business should cater to the vegan clientele or anyone for that matter. lastly when we were asked to order within 5 minutes because of closing time, we decided to just up and leave then suddenly both operators chased us out of the store, literally yelling at us. such behavior from what appeared to be the owners might be had in a dodgy bar but it's evident that whoever is running this 'natural food' cafe has little to no customer skills and doesn't care for customers natural dietary requirements. we chose whole foods to meet our vegan needs during our month long stay, it's out of town but well worth it for being treated with respect and for real customer service.

good smoothies & sandwiches. smoothies aregood& healthy and sandwiches are not bad. skip the poke. i ordered poke with avocado for $12 and it was mostly rice. probably 1/2 cup of tuna.

no at all what i expected. as a vegetarian traveling i always check out my options before i travel. ruffage/veggie star seemed to be agoodoption. and it was so close to my hotel. i would have eaten there every single day except for one major problem. the service was so so bad. the two girls working were not at all helpful, i simply tried to switch one natural milk for another i even offered to pay more. i just wanted what i wanted. no way no how was that an option even though they make them to order. ok so i decided to give it another try the next day. soggy burrito i could even eat half and it was like $9.00.
not overly clean either.
so sad i had high hopes but it was an epic fail. save your money and hit the international market and the local fruit market. $2.00 for the freshest most amazing pineapple cut up i could eat that every day and be one happy woman.

great smoothies and chili. we are going back again today. the vegan special with the chili and avocado was the highlight for me. definitely a refreshing change from the local tourist food. my husband thought the banana strawberry smoothie was the best he ever had.
the service was pleasant and full ofgoodvibes.

it's a little "hole on the wall" place i might have walked past if not for the high urban spoon rating. it wasgoodand fast. very fresh.

yum!. this place was nearby my rental condo during my recent honolulu vacation. due to a pretty packed schedule we were only able to eat here on our last day in honolulu. thank goodness we did! their menu said they specialize in packing veggie / vegan snacks for airplane travel so i ordered the veggie burrito, which came with some vegan chili on top. they kindly separated the chili so the burrito wouldn't get soggy. i opened it later and was delightfully surprised. the chili was delicious. the burrito was just asgood- filled with refried beans, avocado, lettuce and some diced tomatoes. will definitely eat here on my next stay in waikiki. service 5/5 food 5/5 value for your dollar 5/5.

good healthy food alternative. the place could use agoodrenovation but i think that's part of the charm...:) bottom line.. healthy, cheap & tasty !

finally a gf sandwich!. if you do not eat gluten it can be a challenge to just have a sandwich in waikiki. but, at ruffage they will make you a gluten free sandwich. it is a verygoodsandwich made on commercial gluten free bread. combine that with one of their amazing smoothies and you are set for the afternoon.
buy some udies gf granola there for your breakfast and you are set. actually they had a number of gf offerings in their little healthfood area.
the added plus is that this can be found within a short walk from most of the hotels on the beach front in waikiki.
take a walk thru the zoo when your done. it is very relaxing.

try this place. outstanding fresh food. outstanding happy counter service. very clean. this food makes you feelgoodafter you eat it.
