Small and upbeat cafe with Jamaican patties, salads, wraps, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices…read more The cafe is bright and cheery with music that will get you in a good mood! Service is quick since everything is grab and go style. I tried the spicy beef and cheese patty and Jamaican jerk chicken salad bowl. The patty had a golden, flaky, toasty crust with a nicely spiced beef and cheese filling. It was still warm too! The salad was fresh with lovely seasoning on the chicken. The pineapple provided a nice burst of tartness and the pumpkin seeds added crunchiness. Such a refreshing salad to go with a hearty beef patty. Overall, Jam Pot is a great spot for a fresh, flavor-packed lunch when you are in a hurry or just craving a warm and toasty Jamaican patty. They do have a lot of vegan options which is amazing! I'm looking forward to trying the spicy vegan patty and a fresh juice the next time.

The juices are freshly made in Hilo and then delivered to this location so it is possible for them…read moreto sell out of certain popular juices. I tried the green juice and the roots juice and both tasted very natural fresh healthy and great. I like how they come in glass jars especially. I kept the jars but you can also drop them back to the store if you have no use for them (they will recycle for you!). They sell food items and everything looks good, I only tried the Turkey pesto wrap and I liked it, it tasted very healthy, it was light and not overly filling so if you are super hungry you may want more food with it. I'm excited to try more of their menu in future.

I'm posting an updated photo of the current menu to help other visitors. That said, this place is definitely worth the stop. The coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere has that relaxed Big Island local charm. It's the kind of spot where you can sit, sip your coffee, and just enjoy the slower pace of Waimea. Service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. Perfect stop if you're exploring the Waimea area or in my case, heading to Hilo. Extra! You can order your iced drink with coffee flavored ice cubes for an additional charge of course :-)

I couldn't decide what to get, so I asked for a recommendation, and what they suggested was an absolute delight: The Wrangler. A MUST! The coffee was spectacular -- honestly, the best. My daughter ordered the matcha latte, and the matcha was ceremonial grade and so smooth. You can truly taste the quality. It was our first visit, but definitely not our last. We can't wait to come back again!

Didn't try any food items per se but did order a few of their drinks. Really wanted to fall in love…read morewith this place, but it was just ok. My blended coffee tasted like the powdered coffee from the can at Costco. Despite me adding extra espresso shots, it was just a sugary milk with a hint of coffee. The refresher my husband ordered seemed like a Red Bull over ice. And my son's fruit smoothie was sooo sweet he couldn't drink more than a few sips. Was super bummed because it was right down the road from us and I love me some good coffee and drinks. However I must say I love the drive up idea. The menu items are cute, creative and easy to read. The staff was super helpful, responsive to all our questions and very friendly. Tried it my one time, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be back. Sorry!

I got the pork bento which came with miso soup and an iced tea and it was $32 with tax and tip. Kind of on the expensive side for lunch but it was a lot of food and it tasted flavorful and fresh. Pros Fast fresh Japanese food Cons Food court or take-away (not a major con but worth noting)

We were able to order an iced Matcha tea and it was really good, but a little light in flavor. Lol. I was really excited to try their Ube smoothie, but it was pre-mixed with cow, milk, and since I'm lactose intolerant, I wouldn't be able to have it comfortably. Lol. The lady that helped us was incredibly friendly, sweet and nice, and she knew everything about the food and drinks. She was very apologetic about the cow milk and the smoothie being premixed. Hee. They also had a little Ready To Go take out counter area with some delicious looking items. I took a picture of that as I took a picture of the drink. I will have to go back for lunch and write update my review. Hee

Ambiance/Environment: I love the open space. There were so many products, groceries, and food. There is also limited outdoor seating. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the owner was so nice and welcoming. She gave us good recommendations from the drink menu. Everything we got: 1) Maui Vera - I bought this reef friendly sunscreen. I was told regular sunscreen will not help, so I waited until we came out here to buy sunscreen. This sunscreen helped protect me from crazy sunburns. It is very thick and dries up quickly. It does leave you looking whiter than usual lol. 2) Smoothies - My ILs ordered the Hawaiian Superman, Strawberry Bliss, Chocolate Monkey, and Super Soursop. All these smoothies were recommended by the owner based on their preferences. They absolutely enjoyed their drinks. Perfect refresher after 2 hours of ziplining. 3) Tropical Dreams Ice Cream - My BIL got an 8 oz ube ice cream. We all took a spoonful to try it. Wow .. the ube flavor was unbelievable. Sooo good!
