From early in the morning until late at night, Down to Earth offers a thorough array of vegetarian dishes on a hot bar, a salad bar and even a fresh juice bar. Although the natural food store is well stocked with a huge array of natural and organic groceries, the ready-to-eat meal element shouldn't go unnoticed here. You an either sit and eat or take your food to-go, but the quality is equal to that of a sit-down restaurant and is always a reliable option at any of the store's three locations in Pearl City, Kapolei and Honolulu.

When they open at 7:30 a.m. a wide selection of hot breakfast dishes are available. Selections such as eggs, tofu scramble, home fries and meat-free links are offered until mid-morning when they switch the food out to lunch and dinner dishes. Lunch and dinner usually includes an array of Italian dishes, such as shells stuffed with ricotta or pesto noodles.

Taking the food to-go to Honolulu attractions works well from any location. At the Kapolei Down to Earth, taking the food to enjoy outdoors at the Ko Olina Lagoons or at a beach along the West Side is an ideal way to enjoy a meal. From the Honolulu location Down to Earth, to-go can be eaten under the sun at Waikiki Beach, and Pearl Harbor is just minutes away from the store in Pearl City.
