(For readers' reference, I think there's never been a GF that outshines regular pastry. But that's ok. Since this is a personal preference I'm not downgrading - just making note.)

We went at about 10:00 on a Wednesday morning and lucked out with the last parking spot. They have a cute outdoor seating area as well as tables inside. The place was busy with people on their laptops and families enjoying their morning coffee and snacks. We got haupia latte and a brown sugar latte. They asked if we wanted it hot or cold and we both chose cold. They also have hats, t shirts, jackets with their logo on it. The t shirts were nice but kinda pricey at $35.00. Service was quick and really no complaints. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in Kona.

If this area is also where you can sample the different blends. When the tour started we gathered outside and there were quite a large number of people. We have one guide and she was very nice a knowledgable about the farm and the coffee making process. She spoke about the family, how it was started, the amount of different types of trees that is grown: mango, lychee, papaya, avocado, and bananas. They even have black peppercorn which we were able to sample and how it tastes different. Their roasting process was well explained. Bottom line, to be deemed Kona Coffee - it needs to be grown on Kona soil. It is too bad we couldn't get close to the coffee trees cause the bride was damaged due the bad flooding that occurred early in the year. The campus is beautiful and of course we bought some coffee. When we return to Hawaii, I would like to go back here if the bridge is repaired.

She engaged with a multi-national (and multi-generational, and multi-linguistic) group with energy and humor and we had a blast listening to her. I learned quite a bit! I admit that sampling hot coffee on a 90-degree day under direct sun was perhaps not ideal, but I'd never had a chance to try peaberry coffee and I'm glad I did. The tours run every half hour and take about 45 minutes or so. They travel down, and then up, a modest incline. Since the farm is on the west of the island, tours later in the day will experience more direct sun. It was very hot and very humid, but there are shady stops in the first part of the tour. Sunscreen, a hat, breathable clothing, and plenty of water will see you through it. I might consider going back once they've repaired the bridge washed out by the March 2026 floods. The coffee itself is pricey, as you might expect, but it's the real deal.

I wish I had more time, there was a little seating both inside and outside. Ordered my usual americano and the wife got a tea that she really enjoyed.

First, we went to Thunder Mountain, and while we did the educational tour there, they mentioned that they occasionally processed some coffee for Kona Joe, and that they also had an educational tour which included actually roasting a batch of your own coffee. Hurricane Nolo was approaching the island, and throwing a wrench into a lot of the excursions. One of ours was canceled, so we were looking for something to do on our now open day, and Kona Joe's was the answer. It seemed a bit pricey to do the roasting tour, but it was well worth it. To walk through the whole process, then watch a video of how it comes together, and finally get an opportunity to roast your own small batch of coffee (I think it was about 8oz) was really educational and really cool. They have about a half dozen small batch roasters, and each person in the tour literally gets to roast their own beans, to the darkness and taste you desire. Then bag it up and take it home. It was a lot of fun. Amy was our tour guide, and she did a great job. Very informative, and knew her stuff. When we were done, and getting our free coffee mug (oh yeah, you get one of those too), she confessed that this was her very first tour she had given. Wouldn't have known. Again, she did a great job.
