The place itself looked nice, but since we only picked up drinks, it felt more like a quick grab-and-go spot. In Hawaii, smoothies are kind of a must, and this is definitely one of the places you can stop by if you're in the area. We didn't explore many other smoothie spots, so I can't really compare, but this one did the job well. P.S. I noticed they offer one of my favorite drinks, a cortado, with different styles and flavor options, not just the basic version. That made me curious, and if I ever come back to the Big Island, I'd love to try it!

Long beautiful leis to ho or the great king. Staff at the restaurant was friendly, and full of aloha, we are grateful for their honoring of the islands mana. If we could encourage all island visitors come to see the beauty of Hawi and embrace the local love, DO IT! You will be grateful. Following this stop, we are headed to Kilauea to visit Pele. Best day on the island EVER! Pizzas was delicious, we had three at the table.

I love the Surf Camp cafe in Niu Valley on Oahu, so I had to visit the Big Island location in…read moreWaimea! This coffee shop is located in a small plaza with a pizza place, taco spot, and Merriman's. The plaza itself has plenty of parking even when it's on the busier side on a weekend morning, so it's not hard to find a spot. Inside the cafe, there's a retail section that sells clothing and small goods, and a separate side to place your order and sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is bright and welcoming with a minimalist vibe, and even when we visited on a weekend morning, it was easy to find seating either indoors or outdoors. Service was wonderful -- we were helped promptly by staff, and my drink came out quickly. I got the black sesame latte with a chocolate chip cookie. I thought my drink was perfect, as the flavor of the black sesame was nutty, pleasant, and just the right amount of sweetness paired with the espresso. The cookie was on the softer/puffier side, and although it's not my preferred texture, it wasn't too bad! To sum up, I really enjoyed dropping by to get coffee here, and I feel like the quality of the drinks at Surf Camp is consistent across their different locations. I'll definitely come back if I ever find myself on Big Island for another trip!

It also happened to be where we hung out and ate pizza and had drinks during the latest tsunami warning! Luckily, we were safe there and there wasn't any damage. Piko offers a different menu based on time of day, plenty of grab and go options all day long and there is also a filtered water station available. Service is fast casual and friendly. We've only been at this hotel for 48 hours and I've been here on three occasions so far and have a feeling I'll be here plenty more during our stay.

The views are just amazing. Day and night. Sparkling wine is better priced at $9 or $11? while an aperol spritz was $19. Stick with the basics and the bill won't be that bad. Or get a fancier cocktail that's more worth the buck. They have music every night and that was the cherry on top. Relaxing island vibes. Pianist to Guitarist to mesmerizing singing. The staff was very nice so how could you go wrong? I would come here even if I weren't staying.

I'm posting an updated photo of the current menu to help other visitors. That said, this place is definitely worth the stop. The coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere has that relaxed Big Island local charm. It's the kind of spot where you can sit, sip your coffee, and just enjoy the slower pace of Waimea. Service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. Perfect stop if you're exploring the Waimea area or in my case, heading to Hilo. Extra! You can order your iced drink with coffee flavored ice cubes for an additional charge of course :-)

Honestly, I can't stop thinking about that Ube Banana toast. It was so tasty and I wish I was still in HI to have it again. I'm already thinking of how I can recreate it here in Florida. Great ambiance and just a fun little spot. My mother also said her Americano was good, which is had to do with her particular tastes!

The sandwich was great. Hubby had a weird experience of receiving an incorrect sandwich twice before getting his ahi one. Service was kind regardless.

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.
