It's that good. This little coffee shop does a lot of business. The line wasn't long though and they work quickly preparing the food with love and attention to detail. You can eat inside or out with lots of tables to choose from. The açaí itself was a bit soft, but I liked that it wasn't hard as a rock. The granola was great. The berries and banana were plentiful. The big scoop of coconut peanut butter was fabulous and the honey and chocolate on top were the crowning achievement. It was an A+ in my book, and that is saying a lot.

Fantastic malasadas, best on the island. Hot and fresh every time. Look for the food trucks!read more

A friend of mine who lives on the BI strongly recommended this malasada spot as she knows and…read moreunderstands my previous disappointment with two other malasada places on the BI, as well as the standard I'm used to from a particular spot on Oʻahu. She assured me these were made to order and, most importantly, not biscuits pretending to be malasadas. So far, we are winning! The location was easy to find, and on a Wednesday morning the line was minimal -- small kine wait. I ordered a dozen to share with our friends from Kentucky who had NEVER had a malasada before, so I was excited to introduce them to this deliciousness. First impression: these malasadas are HUGE. Like baseball-sized huge. And true to what I was told, they were made to order and came out piping hot! We ordered cinnamon and powdered sugar, which was new for me since I'm used to malasadas coated in granulated sugar. They were so hot that the powdered sugar immediately started melting into them. First bite? Not bad. Definitely NOT the biscuit like texture I experienced at another BI spot, so that was already a win. But they still didn't quite have that soft, pillowy texture I was hoping for. That being said, these were easily better than the other two malasada places we tried on the BI in the past. Our Kentucky friends, however, had absolutely no complaints. I'm pretty sure there were some squeals and happy dancing happening, so their first malasada experience was clearly a success. If you've never had a malasada before, this is definitely a good place to start. They're huge, made to order, served piping hot, and most importantly, not biscuit dense. Of the malasadas I've tried on the BI, these have definitely been the best. Oʻahu still holds my malasada heart, though. IYKYK.

They're very short and clipped, which I get because there were quite a few people in line, but when we went back up to ask a question, they were not willing to help until we (overtly and somewhat rudely) had to flag them down. Now, it seems like whoever is pouring the syrup is REALLY inconsistent. My shave ice was perfect. Well doused through and through without pooling in the bottom. However my mom's coconut was literally made with maybe a tablespoon of syrup. 80% of the entire ice had no flavor at all, and when we asked about it, they were quite rude saying "you can see some right here". So for that, you're kinda rolling the dice, I suppose. If it's close by, might be worth a shot, but I'd caution driving here form further away since it seems like you don't really know what you'll get. They also charge $0.52 for an extra empty cup, which seems a little chinsy to me.

I went to a LOT of coffee shops during our week on the Big Island, and I have to say, I was surprised by how annoyed some people seemed that tourists were actually there. Kind of comes with the territory when you work at a coffee shop in a vacation town, doesn't it? Not here. Everyone was genuinely nice, friendly and accommodating. The place itself is so cool, and the coffee was damn good. I figured Hawaiian coffee would be good, but this was easily some of the best coffee I had all week. If I lived anywhere near this place, I'd be here all the time. Thanks for such a positive experience. I have no idea when or if I'll ever make it back, but I wish you guys nothing but the best.

However there was zero aloha spirit coming from this place. If someone is spending 50-70 bucks in your store at least try to manage a little friendliness. People work their whole lives to visit the place you call home, and you're lucky enough to live there. We never have experiences like this with native Hawaiian or true local businesses who embody Aloha and all the reasons we love Hawai'i so much. Yes I'm a visitor, but I definitely wouldn't shop here if I was a local either. If you're having a tough time that's okay, we all have our days, but don't bring it to work where people are financially supporting your business with their hard earned money.

Well that ain't happening here. Stopped here to grab a few basics. Shelves are almost empty and selection sparse. But the kicker was the attitude of the woman behind the counter.

Arguing with me because I want to buy twelve Sparkling Ice drinks? Another eye roll when we added another popsicle to our items before she was finished ringing up all our items! I should have just left everything on the counter and walked out. Instead I spent $100 and got tons of attitude. Couple days later I needed more ice. Go back here? Heck no. I drove to Foodland where the folks couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Our Hawaii visit was wonderful and we experienced the Aloha Spirit every where. Just not here.
