The most amazing little mac farm and coffee stand on Hawaii island. The samples of both the nuts and coffee are the difference that will convince you to get a bag or more of the tastiest mac nuts and purest Ka'u coffee. Just remember to share the mac nuts and coffee with your family and friends! You may not want to but you can order online and have them shipped anywhere. read more

Not much to see here but when it comes to perfectly roasted macadamia nuts, we haven't found a better spot. We've been here twice over the last two years and my wife continues to rave about your offerings. We always leave happy with some local fruit and coffee as well. read more

Dark Coffee On vacation I traveled from Volcano NP around the coast to Kona. I spent $150 on coffee a half pound at a time: road side stands, small roasters, Greenwell, Living History, people with a 'coffee for sale' sign in their front yard. I tried to get as wide swath of 'Big Island coffee' as I could. Out of all of the coffee I bought the dark coffee at Ailani Orchards was my favorite. It is expensive. It is worth the price. read more

Small stand off of the highway where you can taste some coffee and macadamia nuts. We got to try raw macadamia nuts for the first time, right out of the shell! Delicious! Tasted kinda like chestnuts because the nuts still had all their moisture. Also got to try dehydrated, unsalted macadamia nuts. So much better and cleaner tasting than salted nuts! Four ounce packs are $5. They do everything on the farm from dehydrating to roasting the coffee. They also sell some honey and macadamia brittle. The stand also has some fruit for cheap- navel orange, white grapefruit, butter avocado, lemon, lime. We got two oranges for $1. read more

Mahalo! read more

"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. read more

Ailani Orchards - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hawaii, Hawaii

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. read more

I Always love stopping by for fresh produce, and to visit the donkey. You never know what fruit will be available, but there is always coffee and other food goodies. read more

Very nice farm stand to stop at. The produce is very inexpensive: 4 for $1. The white grapefruit, oranges, and avocados are HUGE. There is also free coffee and macadamia but tasting. Both very good. read more

I had the opportunity to stay at Ai Lani Orchards and I highly recommend it to you if you are interested in a luscious experience of eating the most beautiful produce from the land, tended and cared for by Elizabeth and Barney. It is beautiful, quiet, delicious and a deeply soulful experience. In my 20 trips to Hawaii, this is my absolute favorite place because of the opportunity to connect to the land and the people. read more

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. read more

I passed by this place on Highway 11 between mile markers 67 and 68. It is on the side of the road on the way between Kona and Mt. Kilauea. It is west of the southern most town in the 50 states, Naalehu, and the road you take from Highway 11 to get to the southern most point in the 50 states. The signage is not very prominent, but it mentions free macadamia nut tasting and coffee tasting. It is on the right side of the road when you are driving towards Kona. The coffee and nuts are awesome. you can buy more after tasting. They have dried unshelled nuts or moist shelled ones. It's good stuff. You should try it if you get a chance. read more

Sweet spot in Ka'u to find authentic island made value added goods- seasonal selection including coffee and mac nuts.

We decided to do some coffee tasting after hearing good things about the Ka'u region. We were on our way back from Volcano along the scenic route and these places made the trip so fun. Our host offered us coffee and macadamia nuts. Their dehydrated mac nuts were so good. He also gave us some macadamia nuts straight from the source. Cracked the nuts right there. I picked up a bag of the medium roast and we headed on our way! A must stop! read more

We stayed with Elizabeth and Barney on the farm for three months while I was on a work assignment close by. I have to say this was a life changing experience for both my boyfriend and I. We felt so much Aloha here. We got there right before Christmas and they included us in everything. We felt like part of the family from day one. We became healthier while staying here. We started to work out, eat good foods, and even quit smoking!We owe this all to Elizabeth and Barney. They are wonderful healing souls with the biggest hearts ever. If we could have lived there forever we would have. At night it is so peaceful and quiet. The sky is so clear and lit up with all the bright stars. During the day you see all the animals roaming the grounds to include sheep, turkeys, peasants, horses, and of course the family dog Winston, who we became very attached to! There is an abundance of fresh fruit on the farm. Papayas, oranges the size of softballs, lemons, grapefruit, avocados, bananas and macadamia nuts of course. The house we were staying in had everything we could imagine, and good quality stuff! Elizabeth even bought a new washing machine for the house while we were there because the old one stopped working. The place was clean and it had a light and airy feel to it with plenty of windows to watch the beauty of the nature outdoors. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who would be in the area. If I could give 10 stars I would, too bad they only let you give five. read more

This was one of the stand out places my wife and I stopped at on our Honeymoon in December 2016. We were on our way to Volcano National Park and decided to stop in at the stand on the side of the highway. This was one of the first days we had been in Hawaii. Tried some coffee and bought some oranges and left. After a week of touring the big island and visiting the coffee farms we came back to this stand and bought coffee to take home. This farm and Kona Joe was the only coffee farms we bought coffee from. Barney the owner of this orchard was warm and friendly and his stand is an experience in itself. Highly recommended. read more

I stopped here on my vacation to the Big Island and tried their coffee and bought some, and when I got home I realized just how _fantastic_ it was. So I ordered 3 bags off their website and paid with Paypal, and I waited with great excitement for my delicious coffee to arrive, and I waited, and I waited. After multiple phone calls and emails I have heard NOTHING from these people, and Paypal won't refund my $$$, so I'm out $61.98 for 3 bags of coffee that I never received and $15 shipping, so how's THAT for Hawaiian spirit. Yeah right, Mahalo my ass. No way to run a business. Super nice people at the farm, and I support what they're doing, but they totally ripped me off, and that's not cool. read more

One of the best stops in Kona. While driving to the Volcano we stopped at the fruit stand and WOW. The coffee..... the fresh produce.....and the nuts. I bought some of the macadamia nut brittle and it was delicious. After I returned home, I ordered some more. Can't wait to return to Kona and find Barneys stand again. read more
