What's Shakin'
27-999 Mamalahoa Hwy, Hilo, HI
Crema's Take
“What's Shakin' is a roadside smoothie stand that takes its fresh fruit seriously, with a menu packed with inventive blends alongside surprisingly excellent wraps and vegetarian options that justify a detour off the scenic route. The vibe is purely casual and funky—outdoor seating, friendly staff, zero pretense—making it perfect for a quick, healthy stop between waterfalls and hiking rather than a lingering sit-down. If you're craving something vibrant and actually taste-forward rather than the typical tourist-trap fare, this place delivers.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great place to stop for a smoothie or lite bite to eat. This is a very casual, roadside stand with outdoor seating. Serving staff are friendly and courteous. I tried a smoothie and the avocado wrap. It was the perfect combo for a brunch time meal. All produce is grown…
The food we had was so delicious and also healthy! I got the $15 ono fish wrap. The fish was prepared perfectly with a perfect flakiness to it. The dressing/sauces were a perfect complement to the dish with a tangy and refreshing taste. They also pair it with some fresh fruit.…
