    *I have spent many days over the years in every nook and cranny of the BI and this was one of my favorite stops *Barney was super cool and open about his farm and products, amazing story of what he and his wife have built, you must stop here if it is open *Kau Coffee is coming into it's own, you want REAL mac nuts, STOP HERE, trust me, I am drinking it this week and eating those amazing nuts and loving it *And Barney, if you are reading this, get back to JF with her one star below, pretty sure there is a crossed wire somewhere. Mahalo!

    "Hawaii's Best Coffee." We thought of the movie Elf when we saw the sign, but come to find out, he has indeed won the award for H's best coffee. Go figure. The macadamia nuts are pretty awesome too.

    During our travels we found Ailani Orchards. Stopped in for a tasting and left with coffee, dehydrated macadamia nuts and macadamia nut butter and nut butter with white chocolate. The dehydrated nuts are amazing. So fresh and unsalted that you can really taste the nut itself. The coffee is quite good, it really can be drank without any added cream or sugar. The host was so helpful and knowledgeable that it made for a great experience.

    Ailani Orchards has exceptional coffee, macadamia nuts, and honey. It's a small mom and pop shop off the beaten path where you can see exactly where your coffee is coming from. There's something exceptional about seeing exactly where your favorite drink is coming from. In fact, you can see the very pod it comes from. Behind the quaint rectangular shelter where the cash register and the products are displayed, you can see rows of coffee plants and a hill of luscious green behind as you enjoy your coffee in this peaceful coffee shop. The best part of the experience by far was the conversation with the locals as they helped us find our way to some beautiful stops along the island.

    I first came across Ka'u local buzz coffee and Paradise Meadows a couple of years ago and decided…read morethat this was the best coffee I've ever had. Same for the Mac Nuts. I immediately subscribed to their newsletter so I could keep up to speed on what they where offering. In a recent trip to Hawaii, we were finally able to visit in person and it was a fun experience. Enthusiastic staff, lots of laughter, delicious fruit slushies, Art Gallery with featured local artists, penny the pig, baby ducks, parrots that would squawk at you until you engaged in conversation. Premium Kau Coffee, Macnuts, chocolate, short bread, slushies, pizza (on the day we were there) made by two Italian guys. Yes please! After we gorged on free samples and margarita pizza, we went on a shopping spree at the well stocked gift shop (not sure if that's the correct term, maybe farmstand?). Since we spent a certain amount on goodies, a discount was given along with free shipping to Alaska (what?!?). It makes me so happy just knowing that places like this exist. My only regret about stopping is that because we were in go, go, go mode to get to a birthday party, we didn't spend nearly enough time here as I would've liked. Next time!

    This is a must-see stop on the way to South Point. Admission is free, and you can wander the…read moregrounds filled with lush plants, birds, and an art gallery. Grab a bite from the food truck or enjoy the samples in the store. The macadamia nuts are absolutely addictive, and the thoughtfully crafted honey is just as incredible. We left a generous tip for our sample guru and went home with bags of macadamia nuts and a variety of honey. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable, and I loved learning how the honey develops its unique flavors. Best of all, it feels great to support local farmers!

She kept shrieking "stop touching! I told you all to stop touching the fruit! I will grab for you!!". I rang up a couple mangos and lychee, and she added $3 to the charge. When I asked how she arrived the total, she tallied it up again and couldn't explain the difference. Then when she charged my card on the Square device, she forcibly added another $2?!?!? I asked her about and she said "credit card charge," with no further explanation. I'm not sure what type of fruit vendor expects any rational customer to not gently touch a piece of fruit. Avoid this place and find a nicer proprietor. She seemed irrational and rude to tourists. She was sneaky, and could be adding to other customers' bills erroneously. I'm guessing a lot of folks don't notice the difference.

    Had to make a stop at Punaluʻu Bake Shop because you can't drive past that place and not give in…read more.. and yeah, zero regrets. Walked in and it's like instant comfort--sweet bread smell hitting you before you even figure out what you want. Grabbed a few items and every single one delivered. Soft, fresh, just the right amount of sweetness without feeling heavy. One of those spots where you take a bite, pause, and go "ok yeah... this is why people talk about this place." What I liked most is it didn't feel like a tourist trap--it felt real. Good energy, quick service, and plenty to choose from whether you want something sweet or just a quick snack for the road. Definitely one of those must-stop spots when you're cruising the island... just don't plan on leaving with only one thing.

    My wife and I stopped by Punalu'u Bake Shop on a Thursday afternoon around 2:30 p.m. and almost…read moreeverything from their menu was sold out. The only items in their pastry case was two types of turnovers, bread pudding, normal malasadas with no fillings, and "Bismark" malasadas, malasadas filled with white cream and topped with chocolate. None of the fruit filled malasadas available. Like most of the guests in line, we were frustrated at the availability, or lack thereof. At the register, we overheard the woman behind the counter confirm that most of the store's inventory had been cleared out by locals who had placed large phone-in orders beforehand. In my opinion, this shortage could have been avoided: if large orders are placed well in advance, it seems like they could have planned better for their in-store guests by making more inventory? In any case, the plain malasada I had was fine, but not mind-blowing. Definitely not something I would go out of my way to try out, nor something I would wait in a line line for. The malasada had obviously been sitting around all day in the case and didn't taste especially fresh. If anything, the malasada was a little on the dense side. Out of curiosity, I also got a block of their bread pudding, and my goodness, that thing is a brick. The bread pudding here is dense! The bread pudding is loaded with raisins. If you're a raisin fan, you'll absolutely love the bread pudding. For everyone else, the raisins make the bread pudding a bit too sweet. Overall, my visit to Punalu'u Bake Shop was pretty disappointing. I would unlikely stop by again if I'm visiting this part of the island.
