    Custom Bagel Sammy

    Fun stop on our way through Hawi - staff were friendly, doors were open so sitting inside was still nice, the smoothie bowl was delicious. Would love to come back and try the Lox sammy.

    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.

    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.

    Was staying at Kohala Village Inn nearby, decided to go on a whim. Some of the best coffee and açaí bowls I've ever had. I'm from SoCal and the the açaí bowls back home just don't hit quite the same.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delicious coffee, yummy fresh sandwiches and sweet potatoe sides and sometimes live music. Will be back! Looks popular for a post cycling stop too - especially for ice cream!

    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.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Ben. Very sweet and attentive greeting when we walked in…read more We felted so welcomed The fish and chips was delicious - as well as the gumbo- i didn't order either or, but i had to try what my company was ordering. I enjoyed the pull pork sandwich w onion rings. Everything on the plate was fresh and delicious. Their Lava Flow and Blue Hawaii were also super tasty and refreshing. Thank you for the wonderful experience

    my Son raved about this restaurant because he had eaten there on previous trips to the Big island…read more. I was so looking forward to dining on delicious BBQ . we had to order our meals as take out online because of young children , so we looked to order at 4:30 pm . so i went online and believe it or not I was incredulous that they were sold out of Every single BBQed Dish pork, chicken, ribs etc I was so disappointed and in disbelief That I called the restaurant and sure enough it was true! shocking for a BBQ RESTAURANT to run out of BBQ! because our hearts were set on having their food , so burgers were ordered by the family and i ordered the ONO grilled with a side of cole slaw and grilled pineapple, and O NO the fish was so tough it was difficult to cut with a knife... it was tastless and chewy ... threw away half of it ! It was not the fresh Ono I expected and love! hopefully this does not happen often !!! I understand that Restaurants have an off night sometimes ... but this was SO SAD !!! in addition there was something (maybe a spice or something on the grill ) on either the fish and/or the pineapple , that I had an allergic reaction to ! my tongue swelled and was extremely uncomfortable!!! I have never had that happen before... it is sad that the cornbread and the coleslaw were the best part if the meal! The burgers were enjoyed so that boosted my score !

Lots of people coming in: they could sell stuff if they had stuff. Very strange.

We got the chef special Lava Lava Roll & a ham sandwich...both items were made to order so they're super fresh. The hoagie roll was soft on the inside and chewy on the outside with lots of ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato...perfectly seasoned with mustard and mayonnaise. The Lava Lava Roll was a spicy tuna roll with avocado and spicy poke on top along with fried onion and green onion. Service felt a bit disjointed, but I was on Hawaiian time so it's all good in the end. The shelves looked a bit sparse, but the store was clean, organized, and had everything I needed. I also found some interesting photos from Warren Fintz, a Hawaii photographer and videographer. We were able to come back and finally got to taste the "famous" macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies and they're as delicious as everyone said. I hope you're lucky enough to try them.
