    Perfect. The perfect place for a coffee and pastry shop, even though it's on wheels. Lizzy is the best. The best barista, the best greeter, the best example of the Aloha spirit ! Of course, they serve the regional coffee, Ka'u, which is (you guessed it) the best. Also pastries and espressos, and fantastic coconut macaroons. Stop here, if you are zooming to the volcanos on Highway 11.

    These were some of the most wonderful ladies, serving some of the best coffee we had on the island. If you're in Volcano national Park, or out at the bakery at Southpoint, and you like coffee, this is a must try. 5/19/18 - staff is still off the hook delightful! Some of the nicest people you will ever meet! We still got coffee this visit but if you want something really refreshing try the Lilikoi limeade!! It's delicious!

    I've been on many road trips and have always tried to sample local coffee over Starbucks to support small local businesses (I've had so much Starbucks already in my daily life) as well as to check out something different. This is one of the best small local cofee shops I've been to. I didn't expect it but was pleasantly surprised! I'm glad I checked it out! Best mocha I've had. Much better than Starbucks Mocha. The blend was so well-made that my sister who is not into espresso chocolate also found it very tasty. We only regret not having bought more than just mocha. They opened early enough for our road trip - a plus. It's a cute little food truck by the local street. Parking was easy for us as there were 2 empty parking lots sandwiching the coffee shop (it was early morning). The price for the mocha was $5 - not cheap but you'll get much better bang for your bucks than you'd at the generic Starbucks I'd say. Also love that they have explanations for each coffee type such as what mocha means (2 espresso + hot choco) - which was helpful for those who are not into coffee lingo. Friendly barista too - plus!!! A must stop!

    Coffee ice cubes! I wish more places would do this for iced coffee. You guys rock!

    Awesome coffee and service! My husband and I stopped here on our way back from Papakōlea Beach today and fell in love. From now on, we will definitely be stopping here anytime we are on the Big Island! The brown sugar cinnamon syrup is perfect in iced coffee or a latte--just the right amount of sweetness! I can't wait to try their dark chocolate syrup next time!

    We were driving through Na'alehu on a road trip around the big island, and then we saw the cute and funky Flyin' Hawaiian truck with its surf board menu, flying coffee cup logo, petroglyph artwork, idyllic setting, and cute tables and chairs out front. "Stop the car! We're having coffee here!" We had two of the best lattes ever served, and a passion-fruit bar (like a lemon bar, only with passion-fruit). Judy was very sweet to us. It is now a must-do stop next time we're on The Big Island. Get your coffee, sweets, and aloha spirit in one place!

    Was in desperate need of caffeine and decided to go here based on location/yelp reviews. Such a cute little truck, and the workers couldn't have been more nice/pleasant! Mexican mocha and cafe latte were delicious and had all the caffeine we needed! Thanks!

    Glad we stopped for coffee here on our way to Kona from Volcanoes National Park. We got a latte and double cappuccino, with a side of lilikoi bar. So ono!

    This was one of the stops on the way to the volcano. It was recommended by a coworker of mine, so I…read morewas glad the stop was part of our tour. They're known for their sweetbread and malasadas, but they also have hot food and ice cream. We shared one of their pork platters. It was pretty good. Pork was super tender! There were 2 portions of pork, which seemed a lot, but I was left wanting more. We also got one guava malasada. This one is just their flavored sweet bread, coated with sugar, no filling. It was so light, fluffy, and delicious! Not heavy or oily. Dare I say these are better than Leonards in Waikiki? I regretted just getting one, because getting in that line again to order more would take too long. Oh that's another thing... Your mindset needs to be on island time because you will wait more than 10 minutes for your food. The place is small, but the property is huge. All dining is outdoor in their patio and two gazebo-like structures. There are two lines to place your order, which helps with the crowd: one by the main door, and the other by the patio. If you like up by the main door, you'll find all their sweet bread loaves, rolls, and snacks. If you line up by the patio, you'll find their pastry case. Either way, you're doomed to pick up more than you came there for. This place is a must! Make the drive. It's so worth it!

    A tale of two experiences…read more.. The service? Let's just say the malasadas were warmer than the welcome. We asked for the custard-filled malasadas and the aunties in front ranted "why everyone calls it custard, it's not custard, it's vanilla" in a very annoyed voice. We also felt a little rushed while ordering, which caught us off guard. I was expecting a little more aloha and a little less hurry. Now the malasadas? Oh my goodness... absolutely worth the trip. Call it vanilla, call it custard--I honestly don't care because it was delicious. Soft, fluffy, filled with creamy goodness. I'd happily come back for the malasadas. Hopefully next time the aloha is as warm as the pastries. Mahalo!

I immediately subscribed to their newsletter so I could keep up to speed on what they where offering. In a recent trip to Hawaii, we were finally able to visit in person and it was a fun experience. Enthusiastic staff, lots of laughter, delicious fruit slushies, Art Gallery with featured local artists, penny the pig, baby ducks, parrots that would squawk at you until you engaged in conversation. Premium Kau Coffee, Macnuts, chocolate, short bread, slushies, pizza (on the day we were there) made by two Italian guys. Yes please! After we gorged on free samples and margarita pizza, we went on a shopping spree at the well stocked gift shop (not sure if that's the correct term, maybe farmstand?). Since we spent a certain amount on goodies, a discount was given along with free shipping to Alaska (what?!?). It makes me so happy just knowing that places like this exist. My only regret about stopping is that because we were in go, go, go mode to get to a birthday party, we didn't spend nearly enough time here as I would've liked. Next time!

Grab a bite from the food truck or enjoy the samples in the store. The macadamia nuts are absolutely addictive, and the thoughtfully crafted honey is just as incredible. We left a generous tip for our sample guru and went home with bags of macadamia nuts and a variety of honey. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable, and I loved learning how the honey develops its unique flavors. Best of all, it feels great to support local farmers!
