    Banana bread iced matcha
    Emily H.

    Super cute spot, friendly staff and delicious drinks. Loved the matcha, tasted flavorful and smooth. Quick service and an easy grab and go spot. It's located on the first level of a larger building and there is ample guest parking up front.

    Strawberry Guava Matcha

    Tried this spot out while staying at our Airbnb on my Hilo trip with my husband and I'm so happy we had the convenience of having this cafe so close to us! We were only in Hilo for 4 days and we came here for breakfast for 3 of them - I think that alone can tell you how much we enjoyed their food and drinks here. I ordered the Strawberry Guava Matcha and it was so good that I ordered it each time we came here! I will say it is pretty sweet because of the syrup - so just keep that in mind if you don't like sweet drinks. We also ordered the Veggie Burritos - they were simple, but in the best way possible. We enjoyed the salsa it came with too! There aren't any tables since it is a small place, but there's benches outside that you can sit at to enjoy your order. Wish we were from here so we could try more!

    Matcha with strawberry

    New fave cafe! Despite the name, I've only tried tea based drinks lol. Can attest, I loved the strawberry matcha, strawberry hojicha, and banana barrel matcha. Disclaimer: I typically don't like banana flavored things but the banana barrel is banana biscoff pudding and it was delicious! Ordering is a breeze and there's multiple options. In-person at the counter, in-person on the outside kiosk, or online. They probably take phone orders too but I haven't tried/checked. Staff is always friendly and provides wonderful recommendations. Very little seating available but it is meant to be grab and go. Large menu and I love that they have rotating weekly specials that they also post on their instagram!

    Super cute aesthetic here! The matcha is more on the sweeter side (the way i prefer it ;) and a very generous amount of strawberry purée.

    There's something about Hilo mornings -- soft rain, golden light slipping through the clouds, and the quiet hum of the town waking up. And right in the middle of it sits Hilo Coffee Corner, a cozy little spot that feels like a love letter to slow living. I ordered the Hojicha with Lilikoi Latte, and it genuinely surprised me -- a perfect harmony of roasted and bright. The earthy depth of the hojicha balanced with the tropical tang of lilikoi -- grounding and uplifting at the same time. It tasted like Hawai'i in a cup: calm, layered, and alive. The space itself feels honest -- local energy, kind faces, and baristas who pour with intention. You can tell they care about what they do, and that care seeps into every sip. It's not a place to rush through -- it's a place to be.

    Banana Barrel Matcha

    Hilo Coffee Corner is my go to Matcha spot in Hilo! The Banana Barrel Matcha has my heart. I also love that they have online ordering for quick pick ups.

    The best matcha in Hilo and they have weekly specials so there's always something new to try! My personal favorite is their guava matcha but I will treat myself to the Banana Barrel when I need a dessert!

    Ube Latte with coconut milk!
    Chan S.

    So good. Ube latte with coconut milk and the avocado toast on sourdough was great too.

    Hilo Coffee Corner is an absolute gem. The coffee is consistently amazing, but what really sets this place apart is the staff. Every single worker is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there. You can feel the aloha the moment you walk up. My favorite is The Tiffany and you HAVE to try the matcha. Parking is also incredibly easy. Curbside parking right out front makes it so convenient to pop in, especially if you're on the go. Can't recommend it enough!

    If Hilo Coffee Corner has 100 fans, I am one of them. If Hilo Coffee Corner has 1 fan, it is me. If Hilo Coffee Corner has no fans, I am dead. Truly the best matcha on the big island and all the workers are so kind (especially Tehani Seto). The store itself is a small hidden gem but is perfect in my eyes.

    Egg-cellent Bacon Muffin (egg salad style)

    Cute coffee shop with yummy coffee, tea & food options. Nice shaded benches outside to relax and beautiful koi in water features around the building. iPad ordering makes it easy with orders brought to pick up window.

    A little pricey, but the drinks were good! The cold brew was smooth and refreshing, and the matcha latte was also really good.

    I didn't find where to park. Zero stars. Never again. We lost 15 minutes driving around.

    I'm really glad I checked, the day I had planned to visit the shop downtown, what time they closed,…read moreand I'm glad I checked at 2:45, since the answer is: 3. I'm also glad I happened to be a couple blocks away at that time, cause it would've stunk if I'd missed out! They have a whole range of great chocolates, from 55-90 percent that were all great, a fantastic matcha chocolate, great dried fruit chocolates, and one very good, *very* spicy dark chocolate (I loved it enough to buy a bar, but much more so than most pepper chocolates I've had, it does *not* play around.) Definitely also loved that they had samples of basically everything they sell. Also loved, we learned, it was actually the chocolatier himself running the shop when we were there, so all our questions were being answered directly from the source. It also worked out in that they didn't actually *have* any bars of the spicy chocolate out, as he'd just made a new batch and hadn't packaged them yet, so when he learned we were leaving the next day, he pressed one for me right then and there! How's that for great service?

    So glad we stumbled upon this little gem during our travels! The owners were so friendly and all…read morethe samples were delicious. Since it was hot and we were traveling by car, we opted for the cacao nibs and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. We had them on ice cream paired with molten lava cake and I'm still thinking (drooling) about it. Lots of options for gifts and the staff will make great recommendations.
