Loved visiting this little roadside stand twice after visiting Two Step Beach! We tried a variety of baked goodies both times and all of them were moist and delicious! Still thinking about those ube white chocolate chip cookies in particular. Make sure to get there early for the best variety of options. This is such a great place to grab a snack after snorkeling and I hope to visit again next time we are on the BI! read more

We got the Kona brownie, ube mochi cake, and a chocolate chip cookie bar! Everything tasted amazing! Could use more chocolate chips and coffee in the Kona brownie though!

This is a must stop honor system stand with fresh baked goods just outside two step. So grab a nibble before or after snorkeling. Most items are $5, and we tried 10 of them :) The butter mochi are exactly what they should be, cakes fluffy, but the haupia (coconut) pie is literally the best of its kind I have ever had. It was consumed way too quickly for a pic so all you get is the cute label. I may go back tomorrow and buy 4 more. Don't expect to be able to share this! The only thing I didn't love were the Lilikoi cookies - just not the right cookie texture for me; more like a muffin. read more

Cute little stand in the Two Step/Honaunau bay area. Good deals on the items , which we took advantage of (3 of the $5 items for $13, etc, free fruit or sticker for leaving a review, free $5 item if you spend $25 or more, etc), and those deals made the items more affordable. Several bins were already sold out, but we tried the ube cake, pineapple cake, vegan ube coconut rice, brownie, haupia pie with lilikoi. We also purchased a few Hawaiian themed stickers. We saw, but did not purchase, some locally-made earrings on display. Our favorites were the haupia pie with lilikoi, ube coconut rice, and the ube cake. Everything was very tasty, although on the sweeter side (for our palates). Could have cut the sugar by 1/4-1/3 and still have been delicious for our preferences. read more

This is a wonderful road side stand selling delicious sweet. Reads, cookies and fresh fruit. Fresh picked fruits are used in all of their products. I noticed many times driving by that people buy up the products and they are out of stock till the next day. It's hurry up and get there early. I loved the banana bread. Plenty of fresh bananas in the area. Banana trees everywhere. Only one drawback. I don't live anywhere near Capitan Cook area of the Big Island. read more

Tucked away off the main drag of captain cook, Two Step is a worthy (and quick) detour for some local flavor mochi and pastries. We stumbled onto this roadside stand last time, and now we see it's got an official Yelp page! Food is still as good as our first visit. Their pastries are perfect for morning provisions or dessert! The brownie I had was moist and rich. I could taste the Kona coffee! Can't wait to try the banana bread and mochi cake in the morning. Well done, keep on keeping on! read more

Drove past here, just a tent with items and cash or Venmo payment, honor system so nobody there. Anyway, got an ube mochi cake, a pineapple coconut cake, and a lilikoi coconut cake. Got ones on sale (otherwise $5 each), totaled $7. The ube mochi was the best, consistency was good, but ube flavor wasn't very strong. Actually, none of the flavors were strong, and I'm sure all the cakes had food coloring. The pineapple one was way, way, way too yellow for it to have been only from pineapple, and I didn't really taste any pineapple flavor in that. The lilikoi was slightly better, at least there were lilikoi seeds. The ube sticky rice looked decent but was very pricey at $7 so passed on that. Wouldn't really say I'd recommend it. read more

This spot is located in a food court area and was actually the only place open when we arrived. Since it is a stall, there is not too much to say other than there were two people working and a large display case filled with donuts, with malasadas in the back. After looking things over I asked if they had a lilikoi circle donut. They did not, but they recommended a strawberry glazed donut with lilikoi filling and I went with that. It came out nicely decorated with a pink glaze and a small dab of cream on top with a butterfly. When I bit into it I was happy with the flavor. The donut itself was light and fluffy and the strawberry glaze was solid. The real standout though was the lilikoi filling, which had that great balance of sharpness and sweetness and paired really well with the donut. My dad ordered a coconut malasada and said it was really good as well. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. They had a big selection of donuts, I enjoyed mine, and I would like to try their malasadas next time.

No big deal! They do have smoothies, so we decided to try those out with a slice of cheesecake. I mean, because cheesecake. The employee here was super helpful and nice. Honestly, this location looks extremely popular for a late breakfast, and it makes sense to me: the menu was full of some yummy offerings. You felt like you were sitting in a very personal, old time diner where everyone would know each other. It was honestly very authentic, and I loved how we felt like we were at a friend's house. The smoothies were really good! Bright, vibrant flavors and very much needed after a busy morning. The cheesecake, well, it lasted about 2.5 seconds. Seriously sooo good and a nice little treat! I believe they make the cheesecake and other baked goods in-house, so that's a bonus. This wasn't what we were hunting for, but we were happy to stumble upon this cozy diner!

Banana Bread Spot

This is a must try if you're on the Big Island!! It's just a cooler on the side of the road…read more $4/loaf of the best banana bread you've ever had! You can either drop some cash into the little metal box on the table or use the Venmo code under the lid. We picked up 3 loaves, some apple bananas, and avocados on our first day. Then, we went back near the end of our trip to get a few more! They were sold out, but there's a number to call and the baker's husband brought out a few piping hot loaves of bread. Wow!!! It's even more amazing when it's hot. I do a lot of baking and I make a lot of banana muffins, and even I'm impressed with Jeanette's skill. The bread is perfectly caramelized on the outside, the sprinkle of crushed mac nuts and sugar on top, with the moist interior is just perfect. Our kids were fighting daily at breakfast for the "end pieces", lol! We'll definitely be back someday! Mahalo!

Definitely plan a stop here while visiting the nearby coffee farms. We bought 3 loaves and it was…read morethe best decision ever. The loaves are topped with a sweet topping containing macnuts that make it unique and better than the rest. It's moist and flavorful, definitely one of the best banana breads I've had while visiting the Hawaiian islands. It's also super affordable at $4 per loaf. You pay via honor system through Venmo. When we arrived around 6:15pm, there were no more loaves in the cooler but there were a few phone numbers with a note posted on the cooler that said to please call if there were no more loaves so they can bring some up :) The owners are super kind and happily brought up some more loaves so we can purchase some. I think they said they filled the cooler with 52 loaves before they left for the day! I don't have a picture of the loaves because we ate them so quickly but just trust me when I say this is a must stop and you won't regret it!

Rooster Farms

Found this by Google searched "oldest certified organic Kona coffee farm". Booked a free tour on…read moretheir website. It located up a hill in Captain Cook. The road was narrow with many turns, but it worth the drive. Received warm welcome from Tara after parking on the ground floor. While talking about their move from New York and their works in Hawaii, we were joined by Ed on the upper level. He talked about his visions to keep and operate this coffee farm in all-nature ways to keep certified as organic. Even with some diseases on the tree roots, they used the nature and sustainable methods to control possible spreading and to treat the bacteria. The tasting was then hosted by Jessada. He explained from the volcano's contributions, tree growing, coffee cherries, hand picking, washing, fermenting, drying, grading, roasting, and more. They even separated those fancy peaberries! We were able to enjoy both freshly milled and brewed medium and dark roasted coffees. Those were our youngest family member's first ever coffee! He also talked about growing and caring turmeric. We bought multiple packs of their coffee beans and one pound of turmeric to go. We then walked about their farms and also saw papayas, bananas, avocados, and other tropical fruits. The entire visit was highly professional, knowledgable and educational! We received warmest welcome from Tara, Ed and Jessada.

Came on island with little research and a big checklist of ideas of "experiences" we wanted. I…read morefeel like we fell into the most authentic micro roaster experience we could have. Don't let the slick website fool you. This is a mom and pop, 2 people with an idea/dream who made it a reality. If mass market produced, easy parking and quick stop with bathroom is your vibe, this ain't it. I made my reservation on the website, we received a confirmation, and a text with directions, my maps app did just fine. We had a late start and since it was a Sunday and not overbooked Ed way kind enough to say still come we will see you when you get here. The turn off was easy to miss, and the road up the hill is not for the timid driver- we did fine in our rental sedan going slow, but an suv, our something with higher clearance would be more forgiving. The roads are local and small, be polite and use pull outs for letting other cars by. The pay off is views of the coast, the mountain, coffee - blossoms, berries and picked trees. It is other worldly in an agricultural Willy wonky way. Then you arrive... Ed met us on the road and directed us to park in his carport. It is a home, with an in basement tasting room where you discover the magic Ed and Tara have been brewing. Ahem. We sampled a medium and dark roast. I will state for the record I am no coffee snob. I don't know enough about coffee to have opinions. But the coffee we had today was other worldly good. I think it was pour over style in this cool contraption that reminded me of an ice cream cone holder with sample cups collecting the coffee below. Ed heated the water to 174 precisely. He amiably chatted about his family's story and what a designation of Kona Coffee means. Small batch hand processed coffee is special and comes with an expensive price. As I stood in the farm basement, which is a cluttered mash up of tools, farm equipment, packaging materials and bags of beans- this is a labour of love and inspiration. The coffee was hands down the best I have ever had - European, African, Costa Rican- nothing tastes like Rooster Farms Kona. It is like tasting the island aloha in a cup. We bought 3 bags for $100. We will make that last long time, and fun fact, they offer mail order so replenishing is possible. The tasting is free. Walking the grounds allowed, but no formal tour. Bottom line: Authentic, sincere, and an amazing cup of true Kona coffee. Off the beaten tourist path and a real experience. 10/10 no notes.

Where some of the Kona magic happens. This is a very dedicated, passionate family!

We had a hard time even picking what to get, as there were so many delicious options and they were still warm when we got there early in the day. We shared a ham and cheese bread and a macadamia nut brownie. Both were SO GOOD and I love how adorable the baking stand is. I really appreciated that it was easy (honor system paying) and that it was set up as a quick pick up and go. Honestly, the cute bread stand was a highlight of my trip and I'll be sure to go back when we visit the Kona side of the island again.
