My neighbor surprised me with an avocado sandwich; my gosh it was onolicious. So, I had to go there and get a sandwich.As I walked into the store I was greeted (that's #1 for me).. The menu is small; which is great because too many items would be a harder decision and it would take too long to get your order, as customers were walking in to order off the menu. And of course they entice you with their variety of smoothies to top off your order. Perhaps one day I will order a smoothie. As I waited for my order to looked around the store ; there are a variety of Natural food and supplements, Baggu, all, kind of things interesting items! The gent working was like a walking encyclopedia as I overheard his conversation to a customer regarding supplements; knowledgeable employee who can address your questions about the supplements etc and a good thing.After the fact; I saw they had 2 violations that worried me. Yes, it was corrected BUT they need to adhere to the guidelines and NOT be cited again.If they are CITED, sorry but I will,not be returning for those delicious sandwiches and wraps.

I’ve only been in this shop once but I found the employees to be friendly, knowledgeable, patient. Their selection of CBD products is fantastic. Many brands and options to choose from.

Support Local! Stopped by Vim & Vigor and was helped by Fudge. As a business owner she was genuinely passionate in helping me find the right products to help my better half. Fudge took the time to ask questions and even researched to ensure I was taking home what was needed.Before I call her tomorrow to thank her... I wanted to recognize Fudge and Vim & Vigor as the best place to shop for ALL your nutritional needs! Her suggestion helped and my better half is happy!Mahalo!

Excellent store for almost any and every possible heath products and supplements needed. Just having major surgery and waiting 2 weeks to travel back home to Maui I have found my " go to " haven. I was lucky to utilize the black Friday specials offered all weekend. I purchased a " super warrior" deal for red light therapy ( for healing my body after surgery) and the other plan for " bio hacking" I'm still learning and trying all benefits. Heather was super helpful and I was lucky enough to always go to the store when she was working but everyone there is so well informed, caring, and helpful. I actually learned something from every sales person. I love all the crystal products for Christmas gifts ( I will post more pictures soon!) Another favorite are the CBD drinks and Celcius for weight loss!! They are not as easy to find.

I have been coming to vim and vigor since high school...it's the only place on my school bus route that carried natural foods drinks I enjoyed. I recently re-discovered this place as I have a client in alamoana - great place friendly and helpful. I enjoy supporting local businesses.

Excellent Service. Convenient Location. Large Selection of Products and a small little café with plenty of healthy options. I visited after researching stores who sold supplements in the area; typically I would stay away from the mall for these type of products due to the extra markup I've experienced previously; however, I was pleasantly surprised by their prices and their selection. The staff is super attentive and accommodating especially if you have questions or request recommendations. I am excited about stopping back soon to see what goodies I can discover!

My first time here, and I was in the area, just looking for something on the healthy-ish side. I came across this place, so I figured I'd try it out. I was second in line, behind somebody else having their order made. Once they left, the lady at the counter called over the people walking around the store, saying she can help them. So, I continued waiting patiently. 15 minutes in, another employee came around to help me. I ordered a chicken pesto burrito with avocado(paid extra of course).Once I got home to Hawaii Kai, I began eating one half of my burrito. I noticed with each bite, no avocado. Once I finished, I found some extra "protein" in it. This added protein made me throw away my other half of the burrito. I called to let them know I didn't get any avocado, and they said "sorry, totally forgot. You can return and we'll refund for the avocado." That's a 25-minute drive away. No thanks. I was sad, paying for a $15 burrito and not receiving what I paid extra for, but given extra "protein" that I am not sure what it is. End note: Don't forget to check your food before leaving.

Brothers and sisters, hear me. Earth Mother Gaea has bestowed onto me a miracle cure. Take this magical extract, rub on your ailments, drink its nectars, do this on a moonless, cloudless, soundless night and when you awaken...CBD ( C21H30O2 ), cannabidiol, the essential component of medical marijuana. 100 percent Federally legal (provided it contains less than 0.3%THC). You don't get high. You don't eat everything in sight. You don't lose your sex drive.Ignore the charlatans at the Mall claiming CBD cures every medical condition from diabetes to cancer with testimonials from "real people".CBD is proven to do two things:1. Relieves pain and itching.2. Reduces anxiety and sleeplessness.Other potential benefits are currently being studied (it did cure a friends dog skin condition so she now has a full coat of fur, did nothing to improve my hair though).The CBD world is hard to navigate. No regulations on purity or even labeling exist. You need a trusted source who only sells, lab tested brands and stands behind the products they recommend. Vim N' Vigor is that source in Hawaii.All staff well versed in the wide array of products carried from ingestibles to topical sprays, balms, and patches from solid brands like Social CBD and Charlotte's Web.Prices are higher than buying direct from the manufacturers however there is an advantage to trying different brands before settling on a particular one. Other ingredients in the delivery system do impact how well they work for an individualDoes it work? Topically it was the only thing that stopped my mom's itching from a CKD related heart condition and now a spray on provides her with instant sharp pain relief from her arthritis with total pain relief within two hours, lasting for 48+ hours when using a 100mg patch.Paraphrasing Stuart Chase, "to those who believe, no proof is necessary. To those who don't, no proof is possible." On the fence? Visit Vim N' Vigor.

Nice, but super small, store located in the basement level of Ala Moana center. It is more health focused rather than on vegan groceries. Updated from previous review on 2021-08-23

Location is right next to Marshall's, that ground floor garage area that has the post office and used to have Barnes and noble (is that still there?) and other lesser visited stores. Easiest to access from the area where longs and Sephora entrances from the garage side and walk down the stairs in the garage. The woman behind the counter was very sweet and solicitous and patient. This is not a place for fast food or service. Each smoothie we ordered was made one at a time and took quite a while to make but was made by her with intention and meticulously. We came here bc the hub needed his midday protein boost. He got the macacao w protein and it was a bit too sweet for him. I tasted it and thought it tasted fine. I got the gingerade and it was difficult to drink bc it was so gingery. Not just the flavor but the burning sensation in my throat and esophagus that lasted for a while even after I stopped drinking it. Neither of us could finish it. So this place is nice bc it's a small business and the woman working there is nice and I think the prices are reasonable. Difficult to find and also prolly would ask for no honey in the smoothie. And also maybe don't get the gingerade or ask for less ginger. Also don't be in a hurry.

I really was impressed by the knowledgeable staff Mr. Cory and Ms. Fudge. They listen to my concern regarding an elderly women in her 80’s with Dementia and many mood swings . They pointed out what was most concentrated and $$ your paying for what’s in it compared to $ that can be affected with the understanding how it can help. They have many products. Which you may misunderstand so it’s good to go to these guys they really do know their products.
