Ordered one every day I was there. I tried it with the upgraded Hawaiian coffee and with regular coffee and the one without the more expensive coffee tastes just as good! No burned taste you'll get at many coffee shops. My husband and co workers all got other types of drinks and everyone loved theirs and also continued to get one every day. The shop isn't big (but it is cute) so there might not always be a spot to hang out and enjoy it in shop and the parking lot isn't very big so sometimes parking can be a challenge but well worth the effort. It will be my first stop next time I'm in town.

First off, the place smells amazing, and it's got a perfect little coffee shop/cafe vibe to it when you enter. The only downside to this place, especially with how busy they are, is their extremely limited parking situation. Other than that, staff was incredibly kind and, since it was my first time, they were very helpful in suggesting some popular drinks. Truth be told, I can't even remember the name of the drink the woman recommended to me (which I ordered), but all I know is it was DELICIOUS. A must try spot if you're a coffee lover in the Hilo area!

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 :-)

At first glance, it may look like other small, local shops, with locally made products and a few interesting goods to browse. (I ended up buying the last 'I'iwi bird pin they had on display, which I loved!) After reading some other reviews, I realized we may have just gotten lucky because the owner happened to be in that day. Let me say this upfront: they advertise slow black coffee and they mean it! The owner (Brian?) takes his time with each customer, chatting with you to understand what you're looking for and making some suggestions. It's clear he enjoys both his craft and engaging with customers. It was not very busy while we were there, which added to that relaxed, Hawaiian vacation vibe. We really enjoyed the conversation with him and even walked away having learned a few new things. We took our coffee and other purchases to enjoy on the bench outside, along with some stone cookies from nearby. (There were also additional tables and chairs available on a side patio.) Overall, we loved both the experience and the coffee, and we will definitely plan to stop by again the next time we are in the area!

We were staying nearby, so every morning turned into a quiet mission--pull up, breathe, and share a little aloha with the crew here. The energy felt genuine right away, not forced, not touristy... just real people, good vibes, and that island pace that makes you slow down whether you want to or not. After long days of work, this place hit different in the mornings. Coffee was always on point--smooth, rich, and exactly what you need to get your head right before getting back out there. But honestly, it was more than the coffee. It was the smiles, the conversations, the way they remembered you after a couple visits. In a time where everything felt a little heavy, this spot gave us a small sense of normal and a whole lot of warmth. If you're anywhere near Kaʻu, do yourself a favor and stop in... not just for the coffee, but for the feeling you didn't know you needed.
