Best coffee anywhere! We had to drive from Volcano to to the Kona Airport early and this was the first restaurant that was open along the way. The food was great! I had the skillet while my wife had a bagel, my son in law a croissant sandwich and my daughter had a bagel. The skillet wasn't served in a skillet but you don't eat the skillet. The eggs and peppers were perfectly prepared. I had a croissant and the strawberry jam was outstanding. But it was the coffee that I really like. It is a coffee that is grown and roasted locally. I wished I could get that coffee here! read more

This place was extremely disappointing. They were incredibly unorganized and inefficient. After inquiring about our meal after a 30 minute wait, they asked if we still wanted the food or a refund - as options are limited, we opted to wait. At that time, the waitress called across to the kitchen to start our food. We spent over 45 minutes waiting for our orders and they were made incorrectly - our oatmeal's were missing the correct fruit and the skillet was missing the potatoes. Absolutely would not return; it's worth the drive to go elsewhere. read more

Just had breakfast. My omelet turned into a scramble floating in water. I don't understand what that water is all about. Also they offered sausage patty as the meat. The scramble has barely cooked (mushy) link sausage. It offered muffin or toast on menu however I received neither. Not a good first impression. Probably won't return. read more

Well they are only open until 3- not four like it says. and we just got here at 2:40- kitchen is already closed and they are refusing to make any food. they just lost probably $40. if your hours are until 3 don't close the kitchen before then! sure if you want to get a head start go ahead but are you kidding?! read more

Eh this place like every other eatery in this town gets business cause there like zero options so people eat here out of desperation and or lack of choices. Literally they pull stuff out of the freezer that you can get at Costco and whip up yourself ie: like the smoothie I had from the front fridge. The food is inconsistent depending on the cook and it's usually consistently not that great. I wish this town would open up a restaurant/cafe with some real passion in their food/service. This is just another tourist trap. Two stars for friendly staff. read more

Wonderful food and people. The coffee is always fresh. If you order any of the burritos, you better be hungry. They are delicious, and of "ample size." I'm now addicted to the Breakfast BLT on the croissant. An additional hint to the quality of the food and the service is that the locals hang out there. And a big plus: virtually any item in the menu can be prepared vegetarian or vegan. They aim to please. An essential point: YELP has the location wrong. The address is 92-8676 Lotus Blossom Lane, Ocean View, HI. Coffee Grinds is just off Highway 11 on Lotus Blossom Lane in the shopping center with the Ocean View Market and the post office. If you're headed from Kona to Hilo or the volcanoes, it's perfect place to take a break. Aloha. read more

This place would be easily passed by if you weren't aware if it, sandwiched between an auto parts store and a Post Office. Luckily a local told us of its awesomeness. We came for lunch but they serve breakfast all day. The breakfast burrito is to die for. Didn't get a chance to try the coffee but it smelled great as well. Give it a shot and also check out kulakai caverns since u are in the area. They Rock! read more

Coffee Grinds - Breakfast Butrito - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Captain Cook, Hawaii

See all

Stopped for a quick snack and had some amazing curry chicken soup. Had a cup of smooth coffee as well. Everyone was friendly, the cook came out to chat. Worth stopping in, right on hwy 11. Soup was recommended by a local and there were many local residents in the restaurant. Usually a good sign when the locals lime eating there. Definitely worth a stop. Looking forward to getting the recipe for the soup! read more

They are the only brick and mortar coffee shop in the area. For that, they get four stars. Friendly service. Limited selection but they have all the basics. And they have milk alternatives. read more

My wife and I had breakfast, I had a breakfast burrito which was very large. Eggs, cheese, onions, salsa and more. The meal was quick and easy and the food was delicious. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. No wifi, but directions were provided to where we could go to get it. We even bought a Christmas ornament made from shells, very nice. read more

First morning in milolii and we decided to try this place out. It was good. The girls are super sweet. Many locals here. Everyone super chill. I had the breakfast BLT and my husband had the breakfast burrito. Price was good for what we had. We will come again. read more

Stopping in on the way to Kona, which I wish we waited an other hour than grabbing coffee here. We had to wait a couple mins for the girl behind the counter to come out from the back. Only to have her seem annoyed to take our order. Ordered two ice vanilla lattes with added shots. They only had one 16 oz cup left, the only option she gave us was to order one 20 oz and was charged for the large cup, rather than two 16 oz that we wanted. Coffee tasted sub par, and were given a room temperature ice vanilla latte with no vanilla no added shot for 9.50+$ each. read more

They are an oasis in the volcano desert, worthy of interrupting the gotta-get-to-da-volcano drive-by! Honestly, even Starbucks doesn't put COFFEE ICE CUBES in their iced coffee! Sooooo glad we had to stop for gas and noticed their storefront behind the gas pump area. It's in a mini-strip beside a new grocery store in the only convenience area in that part of the Big Island. They have flavored coffee too as well as other food items. We live on the island and will now always include this sinful pleasure on our trips to the south end. read more

Kenny and Jenny just bought this place about a month ago and they've made a lot of positive changes. Their sandwiches are delicious, I recently had the grilled cheese and tomato- choice of cheese, choice of bread and most everything appears to be natural or local. My wife had a rosemary chicken sandwich was delicious as well very friendly very flexible in making changes to your order your request. My grilled ham and cheese sandwich with a slice of tomato they grilled the ham first which was a nice touch and then grilled sandwich it was delicious! You would never expect such good food could exist in a little strip center behind the gas station but it does, if you're traveling through its well worth it. read more

It's unassuming from the out side, next the the Ocean View Market. Great breakfast sandwiches and the coffee is nice. Jay was cool to talk with and the view is beautiful. read more

There's not much between Captain Cook & the volcanoes... so don't miss this place for excellent coffee, breakfast and lunch. Had the BEST coffee on the Island here- a coconut milk Latte - a must try!! Vege wrap was great. Service was friendly. read more

Love this little coffee shop. Great service, good coffee and a good menu selection. The breakfast skillet is fantastic!

My family stopped here on our way to the Nat'l Volcanoes Park. It's the perfect road trip stop - right off the highway, next to a gas station, and with lovely food and service. We were a group of 10 with allergies and the team at Coffee Grinds gave us phenomenal service. Also, great coffee! We really appreciated the warm and friendly atmosphere. read more

Coffee grinds was amazing! Excellent coffee, the food was fantastic, and the service was amazing. We had a big group of people with some dietary restrictions, and they were incredibly accommodating and very kind and super friendly. It's a popular spot with locals too and we can see why! Great for a stop on the way to the Volcano Park as its right off the highway. read more

In town from oahu. Everything about this place is great. I recommend the pesto breakfast sandwhich.

5 stars for a place in the middle of nowhere. Great sandwiches. Great coffee. Friendly and cute staff.

Super delicious! I had the pesto breakfast sandwich and it was fresh and tasty. Iced coffee was on point too!

Great Little Jewel in a Sea of Lava !! I had breakfast and coffee here 3 mornings in a row and tried their Breakfast Burrito and the Croissants. Both were Surprisingly Good. The Staff ( Owners ) and Cook were all Friendly and Engaging with their Customers to create a Relaxing Island feel. The place is clean and well kept. I will most definitely be back....A Must Try ! read more

This place is awesome! They have delicious coffee drinks and quality breakfast and lunch food. I love that you can choose (from many options!) add ons to your breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito, or sandwich. They have choices for meat lovers and vegetarians alike-missing that veggie sausage as i write this. Great staff, friendly and present. read more

Frozen coffee ice cubes and great food! So glad we found this little gem. Small cafe with a huge menu! Definitely worth a try!

We stopped by for breakfast in our first day on Big Island. Very nice place, clean, very friendly staff, delicious food. Highly recommended. P.S. I wrote my review immediately after I ate my breakfast for the very first time in there. It happened that my husband and I had breakfast in Coffee Grinds for 8 days in a row, for as long as we stayed on Big Island. I absolutely love this place - food is great, local coffee is delicious, plus - this place serves mostly local people who gather there everyday for breakfast and lunch. My favorite is turkey roll with sriracha mayo. And always ask for extra avocado!! They use only local avocados, which are the creamiest, the most flavorful in the world. read more

Delicious breakfast, friendly staff. Great spot to grab a quick bite. Stopped by on our way to Punalu'u Beach with a group of 13. Cashier and Cook where great at accommodating our large group. read more

We stopped here for breakfast and coffee on our way to volcanoes. We weren't expecting much, but boy were we surprised! This place was FABULOUS! The breakfast skillet was clearly made with fresh ingredients, and was totally delicious. And they give you real butter for your toast, which I thought was a nice touch. Also, the coffee was amazing, the owners and staff were incredibly friendly, and its overall just a great place. Highly recommend stopping here, even if its just for a quick latte. read more

Everything on the menu sounded amazing, and I was very impressed by the option for gluten free bread (I have celiac disease). And on top of that, it was the best gluten free bread I've ever had. Everyone working was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. I cannot wait to come back here next time I'm in Hawaii. read more

The owners, the staff and the food is tops! We love everything about this place and we live just 5 minutes from it so we frequently enjoy their food. Such a surprise that the little town of Ocean View has such delicious food. read more

Nice healthy food and snacks, including gluten free breads. Nice greeting place for a small town. Near Ocean View Market.

this shit is so god damn good i can't even explain it. 5 stars all the way every time i eat here its like my mouth is having an epileptic convulsion of flavor and i feel like i need 17 more of what I just ordered. if you haven't ate here then move to hawaii and drive down here god damnit this is good. read more

in the middle of nowhere, who thought you could find a delicious local, organic egg skillet or one of the best dirty chai with the option of almond or rice milk? that and the spot with the nicest locals in the south since the desert rose... read more

AMAZING. I have no idea why they're located in Ocean-View, they'd make a KILLING in town. With that being said, I'm so glad my little family can come in and grab breakfast while we're on the go! The food is delicious, the service is amazing and the prices are INCREDIBLE! We come here at least once a week, my boyfriend gets a full order of Biscuits & Gravy, I get a breakfast burrito with ham and our daughter gets oatmeal with fruit (and a complimentary fruit popsicle), and they're constantly surprising us! Everything just gets better each time we come in! This place is a must! read more

One of the best places for coffee and breakfast ! Serves lovely sandwiches with lots of vegan options ! Must stop by

Stopped for a snack on way to Volcano. Fabulous cup of potato corn chowder with fresh herbs. Pesto, cream cheese and tomato on toasted ciabatta was really good too. Nice lattes. Friendly staff. Forgot one item in order and threw in a free cinnamon roll. Yummy pastries at shop next door. Busy, so grab one of their books and take a breather as you wait. read more

This is not the real location. The real location is back on the highway. This address will bring you to nothing. Cheers!

Love this place! Been here twice and the service is excellent, friendly staff and always smiling. I ordered bacon, potatoes, avocado and egg. The bacon melts in your mouth, talk about heaven! Great eggs and potatoes as well! Coffee is nice and strong(yay for that)! Thanks for the great service, catch you next time I am on the island. read more

Coffee Grinds is sooo great, it would rate +5-Stars in a big city, anywhere! Between Kona and Hilo, it is an outstanding must-stop. Agreed, the Skillet with no cheese is also my favorite all day:) Atom read more
