    Make your own smoothie strawberry and mango
    Sydni K.

    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.

    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.

    ONE OF MY FAVS ON Hilo. friendly staffs, yummy foods and drinks............................................... check them out‍

    Chai

    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.

    White chocolate mac nut frappe!

    Best frappes ive ever tasted. The young girl (don't remember her name) gave such great customer service and recommendations that I'll definitely be coming again every time I island hop to Hilo. White chocolate Mac nut frappe and zebra frappe is the best!!!

    $7 mocha frappe. so tasty!
    Wanna L.

    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!

    Macadamia nut white chocolate espresso latte *chefs kiss*
    Rozanna M.

    Was our first time trying here, Just Cruising Coffee was on our must do list since we flew down for football. Didn't know what to order so I asked for a recommendation and it was so good! She made me a macadamia nut, white chocolate espresso latte *chefs kiss* so good! I wish I could have this daily and try everything else. Super cool setup and super friendly staff, all of them had smiles while taking orders and working inside making drinks.

    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

    Chicken Mac nut and pesto sandwich and bbq chicken sandwich
    Katie S.

    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.

    Hilo's best kept secret tho I can't keep it a secret any longer!…read more FIrst stumbled upon Baumkuchen Farms 16 months ago when I visited the Big Island from Oahu... scouting where I would like to bring my college reunion group. They were gathering from places like Taiwan , Canada, the continental USA so betcha I wanted to show them only the best! Finding anything outside of downtown Hilo can be a challenge as WIFI gets a little sketch. Baumkuchen Farms is easy to find as they are marked on most Hilo (paper) maps. From the phone calls I made to the first welcome from Danielle who was on site to greet us on our scouting trip we felt welcomed. Danielle met us in the parking lot and guided us to the meeting place of the tour. She gave us a brief overview and showed us the bakery, the bathroom, the gift shop, before escorting us to "the hale" the meeting place under shade. Marcus, proprietor of the Farm with wife Maria, further told us about the rich history of the Baumkuchen estate as well as the products they baked and sold. Loved the tour of the farm where we saw vanilla beans growing in greenhouse, jurassic looking fruit trees and beautiful royal palms. A year later returned with my college friends who were absolutely impressed with the operation. We purchased baumkuchen cake, flavored cooking rock salts, other treats and of course ICE COLD drinks (in fact grabbed a few of these before the tour and after). And we enjoyed the tasty samples. In fact, have since seen these delectable morsels of Baumkuchen at Neiman Marcus in Honolulu at much higher price..! Still, nice to know where I can get more when I run out. Or, will have to take another trip to Hilo and Baumkuchen Farms! Thank you Maria, Marcus, Danielle for your hospitality. Visiting Baumkuchen at the Farm or Hilo Farmers Market is always a highlight on my Hilo trips!

Instead, Keaukaha General Store (within easy walking distance of the Port of Hilo) provided a great selection of sundries, some souvenirs of Hilo, and a small menu of Hawaiian favorite dishes at prices that were the lowest I've seen in Hawaii. My wife and I came here twice: first while walking into town, when we picked up souvenirs and an unexpected loco moco plate. It was a lot less crowded then, with us being the only ones there...allowing us to have a completely different experience. When we came back as we headed back towards the ship, other cruisers from the ship had discovered this place, and were stocking up on various things. It's a large modern space inside, with things organized displayed very neatly. There was no sense I needed to check for expiration dates. There was a portable ATM machine right by the door. A decent selection of alcohol at good prices were displayed (e.g. $8.81 for a bottle of Barefoot Cab or $18.99 for a 12 pack of Budweiser). I took the opportunity to get something I've not seen elsewhere: a bag of dried clams (aka Asari) for $4.19. Ended up finishing it that night...was really good. It has an all day menu, and was able to order a Loco Moco for breakfast. The all beef patty was very thick and dense, definitely from a frozen patty...good for Salisbury steak or Loco Moco, but wouldn't be great for a burger. The brown gravy was served hot and hadn't congealed, and the 1 egg had been cooked over easy, just as requested. It was obviously freshly made. It was packed to-go, with condiments and utensils available near the registers. There wasn't much space to eat inside, but because it wasn't too busy, found a space to sit in the back. I scarfed it down (probably too fast) while my wife finished her shopping. Also in the back, there are gourmet coffee machines and a chest freeze full of hand scoopable ice cream. There is a Pepsi self serve soda machine, along with various sizes of chips. My wife initially bought a couple of t-shirts as requested souvenirs for our travel mates ($25 a piece), and bought another one as we were heading back. On the 1st trip, she also liked a perfume body mist...the tester was the last one so the attendant sold it for half price ($14). For us, she bought a Hilo waterproof sticker for $2.75. And her favorite part of the store was the small portable Pokémon card machine, that dispensed random Japanese Pokémon cards for a quarter. She kept changing out dollars for quarters and ended up getting $5.75 of them...and a couple of them were hollos that we like. They do charge a 3.25% credit card fee, so cash is preferred when possible.

And you need a reservation. The tiny restaurant only has three two person tables (the other party of four had two pushed together). And it is only open Wednesday thru Saturday, 7:30am- 2pm. I made the reservation for my friend's Birthday lunch by text. It is conveniently located by the farmers market, and there is plenty of free parking in the area. The space is airy, and on our visit, decorated for Easter. We were immediately greeted by Paul. The restaurant is staffed by him, and one other employee. The menu is short, and all the better for it. Paul explained the menu and gave us recommendations. I was already interested in the Pasta de Marco, which appears to be a part of a regular menu. Angel hair pasta, lightly fried, tossed with fresh veggies and pesto, and lightly toasted baguette on the side. We also had the tuna, two ways, and papaya salad. Both were perfect, incredibly fresh, all ingredients balanced, beautifully presented. Paul had us end with the Belgium waffle. I've had waffles in Belgium, and these were the best I've had. Crispy, soft, with berries, whip cream, and powdered sugar, it didn't even need the (warm!) syrup. This experience felt like being a guest in the chef's home. Paul treated all customers as a friend, he was funny, relaxed, and personable. I also personally appreciated it is the safest restaurant for me to eat at as he hates bell peppers as much as I do! The only disappointment when the meal ended. Mahalo!
