Vim 'N Vigor

This is a great store if you are a vegan or raw vegan. They have in stock lots of meals from local vegan eaters all over the island. So this is a great place to get familiar with some hard to find off the grid vegan/raw vegan hidden gems of Kauai.
They are super pricey is the only down fall. Still they have some awesome finds like local fresh coconut water daily from a coconut farm in Kauai. They also have live raw vegan burritos in the refrigerator section. They sell great vegan burgers, plant protiens, vegan snacks, dyhdrated snacks, and other health remendies.
It's a small store with tons of stuff.
Depending on who is working, you can get some help with finding you dietary needs.

Definitely worth a visit if your are vegan, raw vegan, vegetarian, gluetin free.

I truly enjoyed my summer role that was prepared by "summer foods". The employee was very helpful in helping me find supplements I needed for respiratory challenges. She was very knowledgeable and offered good suggestions.

Disclaimer: I'm not the healthiest dude, but I frequent this health food store because hey, they have a lot of good stuff squeezed into a small space, the staff is friendly, and we all want to incrementally better ourselves.

Parking can be a hassle: backing out of highway side parking can be considered an extreme sport, and hunting for a stall in the private lot may require circling a couple of times.

The store has been around for a long time, and they have a variety of stuff including snacks, stationery, fair trade/GMO-free foods and non-foods, baking ingredients, cosmetics, groceries, incense, water, soda...too much to name.

Horrible customer service!!!
When I was taking my money out she commented on me having my SS card in my wallet I just opened up a new banking account that's why!

I thought I bought something that didn't get put in the bag , so I called and asked if I paid for the Idem she said no I didn't ok we went over what I paid for all good , the lady was very indifferent and rude she made me feel like I wanted something for free this place can't get good people working for them the owner is nice finally a good owner. Why do most healthy food stores hire crazy people !!

I was really not wanting to write a bad review about the management of this business, but unfortunately I feel compelled to do so.

The manager of Vim 'N Vigor is anything but friendly. When I've been in the store while he's working, I'm greeted without a smile or a hello, and when I finish my purchase I have never gotten a thank you from this man. He appears very unhappy with his job and it seems as though it's either time for him to move on to another line of work where he doesn't have to deal with the public, or...he needs a major attitude adjustment.

I try to time shopping at this store when either or both of the female employees are working. Both of these woman are a delight and they are always friendly, professional and all about great customer service. If it weren't for these two, I would avoid this store all together.

As I said...I was really not wanting to write a bad review, but I felt it was important to warn any future shoppers of the unfriendly manager they may encounter upon coming through the door of this business.

When I land in Lihue this is always the first stop I make. It's kind of a mini heath food store with also some produce. I usually get a sandwich or wrap and some chips, mac nuts, lettuce avocados and basic stuff to have on hand. Everything is really really fresh. They also carry local products from the Island like chocolate, personal care products. They are oriented to raw food items but not exclusively as they will have fish wraps and some meat items. Everything is health oriented which I really like as the other supermarkets on the Island are not. The staff is courteous but I would not call them overly friendly. Prices on Kauai are crazy and you will easily be spending a bunch of pennies. It's so convenient though that I am very happy this place exists and will continue to support small footprint stores like this.

Great health food store. Thank goodness they have one in Lihue as well as Kapaa. The employees who work here are nice- there is some aloha here, but more like earthy-crunchy people.
Usually they have some kind of healthy sandwiches in the cooler, but I came in at 10 minutes to 7pm and all that stuff was pau (done, gone).

Lame store. I just went in looking for wheat berries. There were two employees working there, and neither one even even bothered to say can I help you. So not only did they not have what I wanted, but they were useless to boot. I rarely go in there since what they have is so limited, but after this I won't be going back at all.

Great store with lots of vegan options! Great for healthy snacks. We stocked up on some of Sommers snack boxes and vegan sweets. Very sweet woman working the store. Highly recommend coming here if you'd like some vegan snacks for your stay!

Super well curated collection of food and products! There is a lot of love put into this store. Kala is super helpful! I came in suffering from food positioning and Kala pretty much saved me by helping me pick out the right hydration and food to get my body back to health!!
