A lot of places aren't open on Sundays in Hilo, and I'm so glad Just Cruisin is. Their drive thru line was fairly slow on a Sunday mid-morning, but I don't mind waiting for their quality food. My friends and I all got some form of the Mac nut pesto. I got mine in a salad, and I really enjoyed the dressing it came with. The Mac nut pesto topping was super flavorful and light. This is a great spot to grab a bite, and I love that you don't have to get out of your car. read more

Great little coffee stop in Hilo. Super friendly staff, easy drive-thru (or walk-up if you park), and really solid coffee. The latte was good with a lot of flavor options, the mocha frappe was delicious, and the breakfast sandwich hit the spot. No frills, just good coffee and food at a great value. It is a great vibe to kickoff the morning. Perfect place to stop in the morning before heading out for the day. read more

I have had experience running an ice cream shop and took pride in whatever we made. Just Cruisin' is every bit as good. That means these folks are using quality ingredients and combining them with thoughtfulness. They are not fast, but the products are worth waiting for. They are delicious. And ordering is well organized. read more

A must stop when on Hilo. Local coffee in Hawaii is the only way to go! Local coffee with the best service and served conveniently changes everything. The location makes it easy to access. Hawaii is called paradise because of the coffee, chocolate and people. You get the best of all three at this place. Not jonesing for coffee? I definitely recommend the chai. Handcrafted and Amazing. They have breakfast bagels as well. read more

Service was super slow, but hey...we are on island time. Coffee and bagel was excellent and staff were so kind.

St*rbucks could never! Delicious and reasonable! For $7 I got a triple shot mocha frappe with whipped cream. We also had a hot chai latte. Very yum! I saw the line of cars wrapping the building. I parked and went inside. Small, clean and bursting with energy! This team is a well oiled machine. Hilo, take care of this gem of a business! read more

5/5 - A must-stop coffee spot on the Big Island! We stumbled upon Just Cruisin Coffee during a morning drive and it instantly became one of our favorite finds! I got the Toasted Macadamia Nut and my husband had the Caramel MacNut--both were smooth, perfectly sweet, and full of rich island flavor. You can taste the aloha in every sip. The drive-up vibe is super chill, and the staff was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone needing a caffeine fix with local fla read more

Breakfast Pilgrimage: Still Worth It I first stumbled into this place back when I lived in Waikīkī and--OMG--life. changing. food. and. coffee. I'm talking angels-singing, hallelujah-chorus-in-my-mouth level. Years later, after moving to the Big Island, I returned like a pilgrim on a sacred breakfast quest, tasked with bringing back food for everyone. And let me tell you: the soy mocha, the breakfast sandwiches--still just as legendary as I remembered. Worth the drive, worth the calories, worth canceling lunch plans. Bonus: the vibe is peak old Hilo charm. You know those classic wooden storefronts that look like they've been silently keeping everyone's secrets since the 1930s? That's the backdrop. So here's what we do: park the car, actually walk inside (like humans did in ancient times), chat with the genuinely friendly staff, and then sit outside to soak in the moment. Meanwhile, the drive-thru line snakes on forever with poor souls stewing in their cars, engines idling, fumes puffing, stress levels skyrocketing--all because they couldn't be bothered to roll down a window and say "hi" to another human being. So yeah: 5 stars, all the applause, and a standing ovation for reminding us that life is better with good food, strong coffee, friendly people, and zero toxic tech vibes. This place is pure joy in sandwich form. Highlight zinger: Skip the drive-thru--park, breathe, eat like royalty while the car zombies age ten years waiting for their turn. read more

I was able to stop at Just Cruisin coffee before going to the airport. Be prepared to wait if you don't call your order ahead of time the service took a while, around 30 mins. It wasn't too crowded but when I first passed the other day on a Friday it was crazy busy. I definitely would recommend trying to go on a weekday and get the chicken Mac nut with pesto sandwich and the macadamia nut milkshake! They have so many other flavors of milkshakes to choose from. read more

Food a bit expensive but those smoothies are really good. Oreo remains my favorite. I will be coming back. Line is long but worth the wait

Cute little drive-thru coffee and light snacks spot. A couple small tables outside to sit, but I always drive-thru for the convenience. Love that there are so many choices and the frozen beverages are made with real fruit or ice cream! Staff is always so nice & if the line is long, they'll come to your window to take orders at the car. Took off one star because sometimes the wait is pretty long (sometimes it looks like only a couple people working). read more

JCC is always a great place to get a quick bite and a good coffee!! Maybe won't blow your mind, but when it's 5 AM you don't need gourmet- you need straight shots of caffeine and a sandwich that's filling! read more

we drove through and waited about 30 minutes? not sure if worth the wait but I loved the chicken mac nut pesto salad sandwich ($15) the best! the breakfast bagel was more normal, I wish it had more egg to bacon ratio. we also asked for jalapeño bagel but got asiago bagel. the mac nut latte was pretty strong, but the papaya smoothie was bomb, and we saw they used fresh papayas which was nice read more

Good coffee for a decent price but the service isn't the best. They don't acknowledge me when I do walk ins and just have me standing around for minutes at end til someone is available which I understand but... atleast ACKNOWLEDGE your customers when they are in your presences! Doesn't take much to say "good morning someone will be with you shortly" I've had to find a new place because customer service is a make or break for me anywhere I go. read more

The food was really good! My gf and I both got breakfast sandwich. She got with saugage and croissant (BOMB) and I got ham with onion bagel.

So kind of them Staff is really nice and gave such great service! read more

We walked in rather than sit in a car and waste gas. Lotsa parking there. Very helpful and friendly young lady who helped us with the order. Macadamia nut chicken sando was so ono. An unexpected find in Hilo - mahalo, JCC! read more

Oh the famous macadamia nut chicken salad sandwich was all it's cracked up to be. Many little nuts, extra creamcheese on the bottom, (I feel like I wish they gave you a choice of creamcheese flavor), the bread holds up but isn't heavy. Drive thru wax the option of the day, it was hard to see the menu options from the car when theres a line and the staff want to take your order. The cookies were OK, would have been better baked in house. read more

Why do they take orders without writing it down? I've gotten my orders wrong and that's frustrating. I've asked for decaf and sometimes they write it on the cup sometimes they don't, does it mean that it is even though it's not written? The consistency is why they only get a 3 star. read more

LOVE THE COFFEE! Its strong just how i like it. Service is great and fast. Always my Go-to for coffee or fraps

The mocha Frappuccino was really exceptional. I had the chicken macadamia nut sandwich as well and it was not bad it would be better if I had added avocado and may be if it was offered on a croissant. They have two drive-through's and the people working there come out to your car to take your order. So the line goes fairly fast. My dogs were in the car with me and they started barking at the girl when she came up to the window so she walked away and tried a couple of times finally my dogs chilled out and she was able to take my order but I really appreciated how she was patient and persistent. I parked near the lake right next to it and had a beautiful view as I sat in my car and ate my lunch. read more

Okay, this little gem in downtown Hilo is the place to get some really strong coffee. The only issue was the whipped cream on the outside of the cover, I mean it's typically 80-something degrees everyday, even if it's raining; so it melted and went everywhere! I should take a star for that, but honestly their coffee worked to give all of us a boost of energy to continue working on things for my moms service. They also had breakfast sandwiches and bagels which were fresh, hot, and delicious. If you're ever in Hilo, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

This little drive-thru sandwich/coffee shop in Hilo is a winner. Expect lines as the fare is popular with the locals. Our sandwich/coffee order was taken quickly, and our food came out in 20 minutes. The sandwiches are on your choice of bagel. I choose the veggie sandwich but added bacon on Asiago cheese bagel. The sandwich is immense with generous portions of lettuce, avocado, egg, cheese, tomato and onion. The bagel is fresh, soft and chewy. So good. The mocha coffee was perfect-not too sweet. There are no tables, but there is a park close by that you can stop and eat. The staff is friendly but got one of the sandwich orders incorrect. We did not want to wait to fix the order. That said, I'd go back! read more

I stopped by Just Cruisin' Coffee with a friend JUST before a long line of cars came through and flooded the parking lot. Judging by the amount of folks that came through, this spot seems to be quite popular amongst locals and tourists alike. We certainly were lucky with our timing and didn't have to wait long for our order. I ordered a mac-nut frappe along with the vegetarian breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Let's start with the least best: the mac-nut frappe. It was disappointing as it was more of an iced latte opposed to a frozen/blended drink. The whipped cream topping was also forgotten which was a bummer. Had I not ordered the frappe, I would've given a 5 star rating! Now onto the best: the breakfast vegetarian sandwich with cheddar cheese on a croissant. This was SO delicious! The combination of freshly prepared and fluffy eggs with an abundance of fresh greens and vegetable toppers made for a fantastic sandwich. I would absolutely visit again just to re-experience this sandwich. Overall, I recommend this place to all folks looking for a solid spot for a well-made sandwich and a variety of coffee/tea offerings! read more

Honestly, really good drive through coffee at a reasonable price. Normally this type of coffee in Waimea side costs $10-12 for a 12Oz since it's flavored latte (I got Nutella) with almond milk, but for $6-7, I say it's worth. Nutty, with slight sweetness from the Nutella syrup (had to ask for less sweet and extra shot of espresso). A good ratio. Came in the morning, and there was a bit of a line in the drive through , but goes by pretty quick. Faster than the line in Starbucks that's down the street. Not pictured here, iced matcha latte: Really good, dare say similar to the one I get from Starbucks. Would NOT get matcha latte from Waimea coffee co. : terrible Tastes like breast milk flavored matcha. read more

Far too sweet, would suggest 50% sweetness. Couldn't even taste the espresso. I should have gotten a plain latte. Service was ok, I asked what brand syrups they use and the cashier says "What do you mean?" So had to add "like Torani?", which was the case... Nothing really stood out, felt like Dutch Bros if you're familiar with them, just not overtly friendly. In comparison to other coffee shops in Hilo and Kona that even make their own syrups, I would hard pass on this place for specialty lattes. read more

At 3pm, I sat outside the side door (Kilauea side) for five minutes, watching people work, talk stories and or stand around (owner included) and no one came to take my order. ‍ They were open and I don't know how to explain why I sat there watching them and nobody approached me so instead, I left and gave my business to another coffee place. Bummers cause I went for a specific shake that I heard was good because I couldn't eat after a dentist appointment only to be ignored. Weird.... read more
