5 minutes away from my house and greatest place to eat breakfast. The wait may be long but well worth it. IT doesn't get more country than biscuits and gravy, corn bread and fresh juices like papaya juice.

Salt Pond is actually guarded by hawaiian families. Keive's family is one of those families. It is a salt pond that is man made to collect salt. you can not buy it. You may ask the family for salt but they will ask you to work. As it should be, Hawaiian communities were one of the most civilized cultures that showed how life was sustainable without money. So civilized we had electricity before the USA!
