Hawi Coffee Company @Kohala Coffee Mill

"We stopped for the Tropical Dreams ice cream which is of course delicious. But what we found was Trevor: who was delightful. He was friendly and efficient! But the best part, he made the most amazing cappuccino. Seriously, the best I have had in years! Thank you Trevor for making the end of the day so perfect!"

"The cortado special was fabulous. The wraps looked mouth -watering: large, filled with veggies. If I hadn't already had fruit and a smoothie, I definitely would've gotten one."

"Everything I had was delicious! I ordered a coffee ice cream called the Milky Way and the breakfast burrito....both were superb and I can't wait to come back! Staff were very friendly and welcoming."

"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."

"Great coffee and their lemon coffee cake is to die for! The last time we went we were treated to live music as well. Love this little coffee shop. One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is get a coffee and walk around the cute shop next door ☺️"
