HiBlend Health Bar & Cafe Now Open in Wahiawa


I am so happy that HiBlend Health Bar & Cafe is now open in Wahiawa!

HiBlend emphasizes the use of fresh, organic, and all-natural products throughout their menu, which includes smoothies, salads, sandwiches, and more!

I've been following them on Instagram for a while, and they sure make healthy look good!

Having just opened in Wahiawa, I couldn't wait to stop in!

The BALT

Braised Meat Cheese Steak

The Steamer
I've had my eye on The BALT - a croissant topped with bacon, tomato, avocado, pepper jack cheese, and kale, ever since I've seen it posted on Instagram. I opted for a smoked pepper aioli dressing which gave the sandwich a nice kick. It was a simple, yet extremely delicious and satisfying sandwich.

The Steamer was amazing as well.  Steamed eggs, bacon, tomato, avocado, red onion, pepper jack cheese, and spinach topped a croissant (you can also opt for a spinach wrap or bagel), and was drizzled with an arugula pesto.  I had a bite of this sandwich, which one of my sons ordered, and it blew me away.

The Cheese Steak consisted of house-braised, grass-fed Kulana Big Island short rib, caramelized Ewa onion, sauteed Hamakua mushrooms, smoked pepper, and havarti cheese.  It comes with a smoked pepper aioli, but because my son doesn't really like too much spice, we asked for the garlic citrus aioli instead.  The short rib was just so tender and flavorful!

My husband loved the Braised Ahi sandwich   - topped with tomato, avocado, pepper jack cheese, and curly kale.

All sandwiches are served with a salad (I did not miss not having any fries!).

The Detoxinator Smoothie was a blend of curly kale, dino kale, cilantro, mint, celery, mango, orange, and ginger.

The Acai Bowl was a mixture of acai blended with strawberry, blueberry, banana, and apple juice, and topped with bananas, blueberries, strawberries, apple, granola, and honey.

Two of the three co-owners, Jason Chang and Miles Sugahara, were there, and they are some of the nicest people I've ever met!  They were super friendly, and were eager to give recommendations on what menu items to try.

Unlike many other Wahiawa eateries, HiBlend offers plenty of parking.

HiBlend Health Bar & Cafe is a welcome addition to the Wahiawa neighborhood - they make healthy taste so good!
