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!

The flavor wasn't kicking nor was it really that spicy at all. BBQ Sampler Plate w/ fries & grilled pineapple $37.95 - Good price point for a sampler. We've eaten a ton of BBQ around the US and the brisket was one of my favorites. The ribs had a sweetness I really enjoyed. Reuben Spring Rolls $16 - Not pictured but loved them! Chocolate Cake $12 - Since it was my actual birthday, my partner wanted to get me a slice of cake but boy are they huge. It was absolutely delicious but we had to take it to go. I would recommend they have smaller slices as eating a ton of BBQ and devouring a huge slice of cake is due for a heart attack. Ambiance 5/5 Got a nice table by the window minus the horsefly. Service 3/5 The lady who sat us and took our drink orders is extremely sweet and friendly. Our service was just okay, she didn't really add to our experience as if there was something on her mind.

I'm incredibly thankful for this family in taking the time to show us the amount of work it goes into producing organic 100% Kona coffee. Tasting the coffee and sitting on their patio overlooking 2 Step and Captain Cook monument (best view in town!) was a delight. This is what traveling is all about. After the tour and tasting, we had the chance to purchase coffee beans and merchandise. I'm looking forward to brewing the coffee I bought. When I tasted their coffee, it was the best coffee I have ever had! Not just in taste but in feel. It didn't have that lingering acidic taste. Nor was I anxious to brush my teeth like I usually am immediately after drinking coffee.

This review is why. We bought two cakes, two mousses and two savory breads. I bought the ladybug because I thought it was cute and I do love raspberry. We go to the car, I am so excited to dig in. I grab the ladybug, and take a bite. Wow that was so good. I kept eating it and each bite got better and better. The chocolate mousse surrounds a delicious raspberry middle that has BLUEBERRIES INSIDE! Absolutely divine. There is hardened chocolate to make the design and the crunch adds to the deliciousness. Every bite was delicious and the worst part was when I finished the lady bug I had no more left:(. The raspberry lingered in my mouth and I got to have the delicious taste in my mouth. I wish I bought more. This was so good and if you like raspberry, this will brighten your day like it did mine. I hope anytime I am in the area they are stocked because this is a delightful light treat that fills you up with yummy goodness!! We got the lilikoi and coconut cake. So delicious!! We also got the mango lilikoi mousse round which I believe was the last one! Such a delicious flavor and the cookie on the bottom was perfection. I tried a bite of my brothers jalapeño ham savory breads and it was so good! The next time I went for a bite he ate it all!! Goodness for the whole family. This shop also has a sweet little chicken out front! My whole experience was beyond wonderful I HAD to write a lovely review! I hope to return soon and try other delicious items on their menu!
