Waialua Estate Coffee and Chocolate

"Swing by here for a snack and some coffee every time I'm in the area or headed to hike. Real cool people and laid back."

"It was very difficult to find this place as even many of the local while driving up to the North Shore, and stopping at various retail establishments, did not even know about the existence of this place. They give a short tour of how they make chocolate from the cacao beans, and how they make their coffee, offer some free tastings and sell lots of products here. The chocolate and coffee are amazing and I don’t even drink coffee. I strongly recommend this to anyone going up to the North Shore or even for a separate visit."

"Great souvenirs. Free tour with tasting! There's a cafe inside with snacks, ice cream, and coffee. The highlights of this visit were the chocolate, the roasted cocoa beans, and THE CHOCOLATE BUTTERTOFFEE. Make sure you get a piece, then be prepared to buy a bag in store, then to order more from their website after you get home. Parking was confusing because it shared a lot with industrial buildings, but thankfully we didn't have any issues."

"Highly recommend the tour and tasting here, which is free! Great spot to start your day on the north shore. Staff was very informative and friendly and they have a coffee shop inside that is very good. The store has coffee, chocolate, and lots of other Hawaiian treats for sale!"

"Very nice staff. Pretty neat looking old mill building. It started to get pretty hot in the afternoon, so we did not stay for the tour. There were samples of coffee out; tasted like water. We did not get to sample any chocolate (which would have been the highlight). The iced coffee was pretty good, the espresso was ok, the wait was pretty long. Items in the store, seem a bit pricey. My husband was looking for a little bowl for his watch; but they weren’t made locally, the labels said “made in….Not Hawaii”. The mill is a large building so there is lots to look at and purchase."
