Looooove this place. Every coffee is amazing. I love the cortado specials, the dirty chai, the ube latte, this coffee shop is the best I've found on the island. I haven't had the acai bowls but they look yummy! For food, all of the baked goods are delicious, I'm a particular fan of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. The lox bagel is perfect and I love that it's a spread to build your own the way you want. 10/10 stars, I'm embarrassed to say how many times I come here each trip! And everyone is so nice there too :) read more

Stopped here after we went sky diving. I had the best coffee drink of our vacation. Don't ask me what it was because I don't remember. All I know is it had ube in it, and it was delightful. read more

We stopped by and grabbed two smoothies. I ordered a green smoothie, and it was really delicious: not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and honestly exactly what I needed. The place itself looked nice, but since we only picked up drinks, it felt more like a quick grab-and-go spot. In Hawaii, smoothies are kind of a must, and this is definitely one of the places you can stop by if you're in the area. We didn't explore many other smoothie spots, so I can't really compare, but this one did the job well. P.S. I noticed they offer one of my favorite drinks, a cortado, with different styles and flavor options, not just the basic version. That made me curious, and if I ever come back to the Big Island, I'd love to try it! read more

We came in on a Monday afternoon with the sole purpose of finding and ordering ice cream. There are a few patrons, but it was relatively slow. They had a little bit of outdoor seating and the inside had a bunch of different locally made products you could buy in addition to food and/or coffee. This ice cream texture almost reminds me of a mix between ice cream and gelato. My husband and I both absolutely loved the flavors that we had. They didn't have too much of a selection, but if you're in the area and are craving ice cream, this is definitely the place to go! read more

Latte and coffee cake were both amazing! Plenty of outside seating and a relaxing atmosphere.

We stopped here for some ice cream and a coffee. I had a mud in a cone and it was so good. I also ordered a cold brew (they forgot the cream but wasn't an issue for me). The coffee was still amazing and hit the spot the cream didn't. If I lived here, this place would be a regular stop for me. read more

Great coffees to taste and nice tour showing exotic fruit grown there along with coffee bean process.

The coffee here is always spot on, and the food is delicious too! All of the baristas are consistently friendly! I highly recommend this cafe! read more

Located on the Main Street in Kapa`au you'll find street parking as well as a gravel parking lot two doors down. They serve tasty pastries, ice cream and a variety of coffee drinks. You'll also be able to purchase merch and coffee beans to go. Large front lanai with 6 tables to grab a bite, service was efficient when ordering lunch. The barista is friendly and talkative which helps to keep the tourists engaged. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch, or just coffee, if you're in the area. I had a breakfast burrito one day and a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Everything was delicious, portions were ample, and the island- grown coffee was excellent. read more

I love coming here for their lox bagel. Condiment ratio is on point! With it being one of the best places to get coffee in the area there can be a wait, but it's not crazy. The cakes are bomb and the coffee hits. It's a must to swing by! read more

Driving through and grabbed a BLT, MOA and burrito sandwiches. BLT came with tortilla chips while the MOA with potato salad. The burrito was more like a panini. All were fairly tasty with compliments especially on the MOA. BLT had cheese in it, and burrito a bit of a kick. Highlight was the lavender iced tea which all were very happy with. Service was good and ate outside at the limited number of tables. NB. They close at 2pm and can get quite busy. read more

One of our favorite places to visit when we're in Hawi. The chai with mac nut milk and a dusting of cinnamon is great. My partner loves their cortado. Their baked goods are always fresh and tasty. Their lunches are good too. And they have a selection of island made ice cream and gelato. You can get it way cheaper and with far less misgendering than across the street. (for my enby and trans family) read more

Disappointing. Their coffee is great, I'll give them that. However, we had to wait 1 hour for 3 sandwiches and they even forgot to call us, so our food - average at best - sat for a while and came barely warm. We ordered before 12p. Don't even bother going. It's a scam. read more

Came across this scrumptious gem as we drove north for the day. It caught our eye when we heard a musician sitting outside. The casual vibe seemed perfect to rest and catch a bite at. Our daughter wanted a smoothie and I tried the tuna melt. Both were delicious and I would definitely go again. Cashier gave good recommendations and service. read more

Very fresh food, quality ingredients, delicious too! The ice cream was yummy too, but we never got a picture of it! Prices are $$ Located on the main road through Hawi, it's worth driving the road to Hawi for the beautiful views and the gourmet food. It's a charming town to explore too. read more

This is a wonderful place to get good coffee, breakfast food, and meet locals, as they really do gather here very frequently. We went the first time on a Sunday, as I was in need of some good coffee that they could grind for me as we were housesitting for people who had a sub-par grinder. They were so very helpful and guided me to their Puna Punch bean, which was the light roast I wanted. They then grinded it for me for the moka pot. I also got a Salted Caramel Cortado, and a Lox Bagel. Both were delicious...especially all the parts of the bagel...capers, onions, tomatoes, cream cheese, and good lox. Hubby got one too with his cappuccino. We came back the following Saturday fairly early so we could park in Hawi and sit at the coffee mill to watch the Ironman bicycle leg, as Hawi was the turnaround point. It was amazing to be there with all the locals and all the women flying through (it's grown so big, this is the first year they split the field & it was women only in the Kona event). All the local youth had tables out for the feed zone and got the chance to hand water bottles etc. to the elite athletes. Excellent experience and all right there at the Coffee Mill. By the way, a week later I ran out of coffee, but we were in Waimea so went to their sister (mother?)-store Waimea Coffee to get the Puna Punch beans and they were just as friendly. Go for the coffee, stay for the local vibe. read more

Wonderful coffee and wonderful people. We came here because it was pretty close by to where we were staying and decided to grab a coffee and a breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious and so fresh. The latte had beautiful latte art, and the burrito was filling and so cheesey! I wish I lived closer because I would be here every weekend. read more

Every time I go to the big island I always come to this adorable coffee shop! Pre-pandemic, they used to have a lot of retail, as well as whole beans by the half pound as well as pound. Perhaps due to the pandemic, they stopped caring so many extra things yet everything here is delicious and fresh tasting! There's almost always a line here, but definitely well worth the wait!!! read more

This is a great spot for coffee and/or a quick bite of food to get your morning started as you travel up the coast.

This is a very cute spot in the heart of small town Hawi. The coffee and food is good but make sure you try the bbq chicken burrito with avocado. It's amazing! read more

Nice coffee place. They have local and international coffee choices. We ordered Kona coffee. When we were standing near the back wall looking at the coffee, one of the ladies seemed didn't care and left us alone. But another lady came to us and answered all our questions nicely and patiently. I forgot her name but she was pretty young with brown hair. Anyway, we bought 3 bags coffee beans to go just because of that nice lady. read more

Coffee was ok. Pastries were stale. The sign inside says that baked goods are baked daily. That may be but they are certainly not fresh. Avoid this place - sadly. read more

Came here to chill and grab some food. Looked like the ice cream wasn't available by the time I arrived so we tried out the Kimbaya Açaí Bowl. It came with a good mixture of peanut butter and granola along with many fresh fruits. Overall I've had many açaí bowls before and this one is pretty solid. It's a nice spot to grab a quick bite or coffee and relax. read more

The coffee, the smoothie, the sandwich, the ambiance -- all excellent! We enjoyed our stop here on our drive around the Big Island!

Love this little gem in Hawi, Hi.... Service, food, atmosphere - all 5 stars! I love a breakfast sandwich, so I was thrilled to see I could still order one for lunch and customize it! Highly recommend their pesto on whatever you order. Bomb ass. Lilikoi iced tea is also delish. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a rip off. $10 for a dry bagel and less than an once of crème cheese. Given out in a box without a utensil or napkin. Must not care what people think bc mostly tourist traffic. This is what makes tipping before service so crazy. You order at the counter and give a tip on a wing and a prayer. Would not have given them a penny if I knew what I was going to get. read more

Came here to try some local coffee grinds while touring the northern part of the island. The medium roast Kona French pressed coffee was flavorful and the iced Chai was delicious. Three Stars because the server seemed impatient with a few questions about the local estate coffee. read more

Do not under estimate the ugly and non artistic picture I've taken on the affogato. The espresso was wicked good. Strong and flavorful. The coconut ice cream (you picked your own choice) was richly flavor. The espresso shot was not much. I prefer a little but more but the flavor worked perfectly together. It's not on the menu, just ask them. I was gonna make my own and they knew what it was and got it for me. Due to the strong flavor, those who may not like coffee too strong can try latte. The cappuccino was too strong. I think the latte is better with more milk. read more

Aloha Everyone. My name is Gaynor Kalima. I'm a musician that Plays classic Hawaiian music/slack key music. I've been playing live music @ KCMill since 2023.

Service is great, and their drinks are delicious (especially the smoothies, I recommend the Blue Hawaiian) but the food could be better. I tried their breakfast bagel and burrito, both had egg in them, but was surprised to find it was a solid, square block instead of something scrambled or fried...tasted fine, but a bit disappointing nonetheless. The ambience was great, right by the road, it allows you to take in the energy of the entire town, and they have good music playing in the background. 4/5, would go again! read more

This is one of my favorite spots on the island, it's such a shame that I don't find myself in the north side very often but when I do, I will for sure come by grab this açai bowl. The bananas were so sweet and the homemaker Nola was Spectacular. I asked if they sold it and unfortunately they don't! The staff were so sweet and so can get pretty sweet but after the ATV tour it really hit the spot shout out to Samson from Kohala UT adventures for the recommendation! read more

Great little place on the north shore of the big island. We stopped for ice cream, and got chai lattes too. The staff was friendly and service was quick with a smile. The seating area outside was clean with enough shade for everyone to get out of the tropic sun. And then there is the ice cream. So creamy and smooth. I would drive there just for a scoop. I had never had a chai latte before. This place ruined them for me. This drink is so good. I've tried a couple since and none have reached the pinnacle of smoothness and flavor of Kohala Coffee Mill. Go there. Have some ice cream. Chill. It is so good. read more
