Reviews Summary
Healthways II is a well-stocked natural foods store praised for its selection of local produce, unique ultra-local goodies, and made-to-order plant-based deli items. While many appreciate the friendly staff and healthy options, some customers have noted high prices and occasional issues with product quality.
"Well-stocked natural foods grocery store with prices appropriate to the area of the island. It was good to see fresh local produce, locally made chocolates and some teas available amongst the selection of food & household items here. There’s a nice assortment of bulk dry goods, too. (Reduce plastic usage & bring your own container or bag!)"

"My recent visit to the health food store in Waimea left me with mixed feelings, particularly when it came to finding a healthy vegan lunch option. Arriving mid-afternoon, I was disappointed to find the lunch counter already closed. While they did have a few pre-made items in the cooler, the selection for vegans was limited to a vegan cheese sandwich and a tofu salad.
To the store's credit, the vegan cheese sandwich I chose was surprisingly good for a pre-made option. It was packed with a generous amount of fresh vegetables – crisp carrots, refreshing cucumber, and plenty of sprouts – all nestled between slices of what seemed to be whole grain bread. It definitely hit the spot and was a far better experience than the overpriced and unsatisfying jerk jackfruit wrap I had tried at another establishment across the street.
Where this store truly shines, however, is its impressive selection of vegan and gluten-free snacks and ice cream. They had a wide variety of interesting and appealing options, which was a definite plus for someone with dietary restrictions.
Overall, while the lack of fresh vegan lunch options in the mid-afternoon was a letdown, this health food store in Waimea does offer some decent pre-made choices and a solid selection of vegan and gluten-free snacks and frozen treats. If you're looking for specialty items, it's worth a visit, but plan accordingly if you're hoping for a freshly prepared vegan lunch."

"It was great to find a takeout lunch option for a health-conscious vegan to take to the beach. Great smoothies too!"
