Reviews Dimple Cheek Cafe & Local Market

Terrific, homely and authentic breakfast and brunch options either on the way to or back from volcano National Park... Or if you find the handful of cafes in Volcano aren't open for breakfast and you're ok with a 20 minute jaunt down the road. The burgers are outstanding, moco loco was authentic and tasty, coffee is free flowing... It's good value and as local as you can imagine. Nothing fancy, but friendly and good.

We left with dimple cheeks after dining here! Food was so fresh and immaculate! We were there during prime rib night and it was seriously hands down BEST prime rib ever! Be sure to make a reservation if possible. They had lines waiting out the door around dinner time. People wishing they had reservations.

Best meal I've had in Hawaii. This is a place where pretty much everything is home made. Huge portions. Friendly staff. Great laid back vibe. Highly recommended stopping point on your way back from Volcano Park to replace some calories. Enjoy

My 2nd visit was every bit as wonderful as the first! Updated to add how much I enjoyed returning. I honestly can't decide which I love more, the delicious food or the friendly and cheerful service here. This time, it was a prime rib and salmon special with mashed potatoes and veggies, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! We once again stopped in the market in the back as well and picked up a few items there as well. If you haven't been to this place yet, you need to check them out. Well worth the short 10 minute wait for dinner. In fact, we popped into the little market behind the Cafe to grab a few items we had planned to stop to get on the way home and saved us a stop while we waited. The parking area is a little small if busy, but we were still able to get a spot. My hamburger was cooked exactly how I wanted and super juicy, the lettuce was fresh and crisp, the tomatoes were ripe and very tasty, and the bread toasted perfectly. My husband ordered buttermilk fried chicken with a jalapeño corn gravy. The chicken was nice and crispy and flavorful. The gravy was not spicy, but had a good amount of jalapeño taste to it with whole kernels of corn. The atmosphere was great. We ate out in the partially enclosed patio, and it was lovely. The service was even better! Super friendly, welcoming, and readily available for anything we needed. Definitely a great place to stop.

Wow, wow, wow! This place was DELICIOUS! My husband and I visited for a late lunch, around 2pm after visiting the volcano park, and we were so glad we did. We got the fried cheese for our appetizer and we were just blown away at the quality, presentation, flavor, and how quickly it got to us. You can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into their food and their service was great! Our waitress was very polite and attentive and worked quickly to help all the tables. I was a little bummed they were out of smoothies, but our waitress said they sold them all early morning so they must be really good! We will definitely return back for more delicious food.

Quite a nice Cafe on the way to Volcano National Park. I enjoyed 2-egg breakfast and coffee was also tasty. Service is good, friendly and relatively fast. Prices might seem quite high but fair considering the location etc. Breakfast for 2 will cost you about $50. A few parking slots are available on site. Nice terrace for outdoor dining is present as well as indoor dining space.
