    Beautiful farm filled with coffee plants, fruit & nut trees - you get to harvest some fruit to take with you!! Picked some citrus, perfectly juicy! February 2025, $5 per person entry fee recommended. Gorgeous garden, peaceful, beautifully landscaped. One ends with a variety of coffee tasting options. If you pick some fruit, they'll wash and cut the fruit for you too. A complimentary shuttle takes you back to the free parking lot. Super fun, enjoyable for all the senses! Great for the whole family with paved walkways. Manager can answer questions regarding coffee inquiries. Friendly staff. Loved it!

    We were here in April and it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It's a coffee farm, AND a fruit orchard, AND Japanese gardens. For a suggested donation (I think it was $5?), you can take a self-guided tour of the grounds. You start at the top of the hill and work your way down. Along the way, you're allowed to eat any ripe fruit that you find, which changes seasonally, and there is a table with a nutcracker for cracking fresh macadamia nuts. When you get to the end of the path, there's a large gazebo overlooking a beautiful infinity pool and the ocean. There are also coffee samples to try and multiple varieties avail for purchase. Staff was really sweet and gave us a ride back to the top of the hill, because it had started raining pretty hard (but I think they'll give you a ride back up no matter what, if you want one). The day we were there happened to be my birthday and it was our last full day in town, and I'm so glad this is how we spent it. I recently ordered more of their coffee to give as holiday gifts, and it arrived in Seattle very quickly. The peaberry is my fave - highly recommend!

    If you're looking for a good place to have some good coffee (tasting cups), enjoy sone good view of Kona, enjoy some tree ripe fruits (if it's in season), and some good conversation with the personnel from Japan, this is a place to go. Fabulous service including a shuttle both ways from the parking if you do not want walk or if you're unable to do so.

    Great coffee and a beautiful place! You can pick fruit as you walk down and they will cut it for you to enjoy! The view is amazing

    This is a must stop when visiting the Big Island. You're surrounded by a perfectly manicured garden as you walk thru the fruit trees and down to the tasting area. When you reach the bottom you are greeted with the most beautiful infinity pool and view of the perfect blue ocean. There was plenty of tables to sit and relax and to take in the beauty of it all.

    Definitely a must to visit!! Only $5 per person over 15 and free coffee samples, as well as free fruit harvesting. The managers are always there and they're super sweet and welcoming. Amazing place to take a walk and take pictures.

    This is one of the most beautiful gardens I've experienced. Such majestic, romantic place. And the coffee tastes amazing too. I highly recommend it to those who have an appreciation for nature, gardens and coffee.

    Could this place be any more beautiful? They used the space incredibly well. Your encourage to roam around between all the fruit trees and pick at well. There's a beautiful infinity pool at the bottom of your walk and staff are there to wash and cut your fruit for you as well as serve you, fresh coffee. There is no obligation to buy And you're encouraged just to relax. I love this place. I can't wait to go back. I'm curious if they do weddings there. It's such an amazing experience. Make sure to take your cameras and a comfortable pair of shoes and enjoy every second of it. The fruits are also delicious.

    Amazing place! Very interactive and relaxing. The price is very affordable $5 per person. We went on Tuesday and it was pretty empty. You can pick fruit and take it down to the sitting area and the staff will cut and plate it for you. The staff was very friendly and kind they brought us additional chairs for our big group without us even asking them. The views are immaculate. I'd definitely come here again!

    This is some of the coffee they sell.

    It was the most beautiful place I have seen. I absolutely loved it. The coffee was delicious, the people there were very nice. It is a steep road down, however they provide a shuttle back to the parking lot.

    What a magical find! You walk through gardens of beautiful flower. Groves of different fruit trees that you are welcome to pick and eat, a great cup of coffee and spectacular views. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. What an amazing experience. It is a little difficult to get down the hill side but walking down is a glorious experience.

    OH WHAT FOND MEMORIES we have of this place!!! *** DISCLAIMER - I visited Mauka Meadows Doutor Coffee Farm way back in 2007 (13 years ago). However, based on current reviews & pictures, it virtually looks the same! So I thought I'd add my review. 2006 marked the beginning of our wanderlust and by the following year we were starting to check off bucket list destinations. It was our first-time visiting Hawaii or ever taking a long flight, so EVERYTHING was exciting!!! At the time, I don't exactly remember this place having a name or being a business. I just remember driving along and seeing a sign in a tiny parking area at the top of the property inviting people to come look. The sign also said that we could park, walk downhill and someone would shuttle us back and although we thought that was strange, we figured "why not?" The path through the "farm" is basically a long asphalt driveway to the bottom through fruit tree fields, flowers, flowering shrubs and delightful landscaping. There may have also been a coffee bean vineyard, but I don't recall seeing one. What I remember most is passing a grove of small trees that we (for some reason) thought were rubber trees. This spawned a family debate over whether or not rubber tree branches bend or break. Me being the wise patriarch of the family insisted they would bend, so I grabbed a small branch tip to demonstrate. Well, I was wrong and literally for the past 13 years it has been repeatedly brought up in nearly ANY SITUATION when I'm claiming certainty of thought. "Sweetie, I'm certain the hotel is this way!" I might say. "As certain as you were that rubber tree branches don't break?" is likely the follow-up. It is the quintessential definition of not ever being able to live something down... thanks to our happenstance visit to this place! ~ FINAL THOUGHTS At the time it wasn't much to see other than great views of the Pacific as well as beautiful landscaping, which culminated at the infinity pool and cabana. However, they did give us a large sample cup of the coffee made in a small house right there on-site using an impressive roasting machine. While it was a lovely experience, truly the only thing I fully remember is that dang "rubber tree incident" LOL! We've had a good laugh about this place for 13 years now and although we visited a total of 4 islands during our week long visit and saw all kinds of wonders, my most vivid memory of Hawaii is here! Funny how some things get lodged in your head, eh? IF ever we were to return to Hawaii, coming back here would be a must simply because of the fun memories of just how much we laughed when that dang branch snapped! Truth be told, I'm not even sure it WAS a rubber tree, but it would ruin the story if it wasn't! 2020 / 66

The grounds itself are absolutely gorgeous and that view from the hill onto the ocean is unreal!

Learning about the different coffee variants that are grown such as Kona typica, Progeny 502, and the "boujee girl" Geisha was awesome to learn about and see for ourselves. Did I mention endless coffee sampling? Such a relaxing atmosphere to sip all the coffee you want and enjoy that view. And the cutest cats on the property were such a delight mingling with the guests. All staff members were so helpful and they even treated us with a goodie bag of freshly picked fruits from the farm and a bag of peaberry bites (my new favorite) all as a thank you for paying a visit on our honeymoon! Was not expecting that all but such a sweet gesture! I would highly recommend Heavenly Hawaiian farms to anyone if you're on the Big Island or in the Kona area.

I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Kona coffee from what I tried at Heavenly and at other local spots, but for what it is, Heavenly makes a good product. I wish they would have let me take a to-go cup of coffee after the tour, especially after paying for two tickets + $70 of bagged coffee, but they unfortunately limited me to the little sample cups with no lids. That's the only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review.

They have samples of everything out in their gift shop, and they're doing some pretty fun stuff - we absolutely bought a couple bars (as usual, I liked the darkest and my wife liked the lightest chocolate the most, but they were all quite good.) I'd give the *tour*, which they only do a couple times a week, so we had to adjust our schedule a bit to make it to one, a 4/5. It was interesting, but you don't actually get to see any chocolate being made, a lot of it was just discussion (albeit: discussion while standing in a production cacao orchard - I'd never actually *seen cacao trees in person, they are pretty cool! Cool, but also full of spider webs.) They also cut open a fresh, ripe, not-processed-yet cacao bean at the end of the tour, and we got to try a little bit (it's delicious - sweet and fruity, nothing like chocolate. I wish we'd gotten to eat a bit more of it, honestly.) It was an interesting tour, not sure it was worth the extra planning it took to be there for it though - other than the fresh cacao fruit, you don't get anything you can't also try in the gift shop any time of day.

Many who have tried to grow cacao know that Hawaii is actually not that easy to grow and ferment quality chocolate, so I understand the challenge. Like wine, the weather year to year can affect the bitterness and richness of flavor as much as the processing. I tried 5 different flavors, Hapuna milk chocolate with Hawaiian sea salt, surprisingly bitter for milk chocolate and salt was too strong...my family found it inedible. The matcha blend was a good flavor but had a sandy gritty texture and also on the bitter side. The seasonal pumpkin was better, because I love those flavors and aromas but had a flat taste like it liked cream or fat. The pelagic dark 90% was as expected, on the bitter side but in a good way. Still have to try the 70% leeward cashews with salt but don't have high hopes. Their chocolate dipped peppermint sticks were good, and the turtles were fresh and chewy. Their shop is lovely and nice to take a hot chocolate and enjoy one of their sweets as a short break and the staff are nice. Their merch is cute, the stickers in particular. In summary it's worth a visit to the shop in Kona, but buy their merchandise not their chocolate bars.
