Looking for an after-lunch pick-me-up, I saw this coffee shop as a 15 min drive away from where we…read morewere so we went for it. Going through some narrow roads and a bit of an uphill, we were rewarded with cooler temperatures within a nice woodsy shaded area. Pretty sure along the road and nearby is a bunch of different coffee farms and tours. The coffee cart/van and the set up was all visually pleasing in all its simplicity. Kind and friendly workers made the experience all the more wonderful. Among the six of us, we ordered 3 Salty Earl(Guessing this is new) and a Brown butter miso Latte. Both were excellent and even though there is more menu to try, I feel like we'd fall back upon the drinks we really enjoyed from this visit. We enjoyed these drinks so much, a request was made to return on our last day but once we realized this would've been a 50 min detour(one way) just for coffee , we postponed this until the next time we're on the island.

The coffee is just so flavorful! It is not burnt tasting, but has a lot of fragrant notes. The oat milk latte was extremely smooth and delicious. No sugar or syrups needed! DH also got a latte, because they didn't have cappuccinos. He said, "It was super smooth. It was really good. It wasn't as intense as the coffee from their beans. It was quite possibly the best latte I've ever had." We splurged for a 7 ounce small bag of Kona SL34 beans for $38 to take home. Believe us, it was well worth it! There is a small seating area under an awning. Most folks seemed to be taking their coffee to go. Also, there's a really cute shop right next to it, full of high quality home decorations, kitchen items, souvenirs, and snacks. Parking is in a nearby shared lot. Be sure to check it out!

Their lot only has space for 3-4 cars, so expect street parking. The venue itself is nicely laid out, spacious, with lots of wood and pretty design features.

My friend and I both had hard seltzers, which are always refreshing and delicious without being too sweet. The smash burgers and shoe string fries are so good, and the service is outstanding!

She engaged with a multi-national (and multi-generational, and multi-linguistic) group with energy and humor and we had a blast listening to her. I learned quite a bit! I admit that sampling hot coffee on a 90-degree day under direct sun was perhaps not ideal, but I'd never had a chance to try peaberry coffee and I'm glad I did. The tours run every half hour and take about 45 minutes or so. They travel down, and then up, a modest incline. Since the farm is on the west of the island, tours later in the day will experience more direct sun. It was very hot and very humid, but there are shady stops in the first part of the tour. Sunscreen, a hat, breathable clothing, and plenty of water will see you through it. I might consider going back once they've repaired the bridge washed out by the March 2026 floods. The coffee itself is pricey, as you might expect, but it's the real deal.

An Amazing Kona Coffee Experience…read more Greenwell Farms was one of the highlights of our Big Island trip! This is a coffee farm and tour experience, so just to clarify, they do not serve food here. The experience is focused on learning about how Kona coffee is grown and processed, touring the farm, and sampling their coffees. Our tour was about an hour, and we had such an amazing time. Our guide was a woman whose name I believe was Leilani (possibly Lenny or Lee), and she was absolutely adorable -- especially walking around in her cowboy boots! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who visits. Because of a major storm in May, the farm had suffered significant damage, including losing a bridge, so we received a modified tour. Even with the changes, we learned so much about the coffee-growing and production process, and it was fascinating to see everything firsthand. Hearing about the damage they experienced also gave us an even greater appreciation for the farm and what they've been working through. The tour is outdoors and seems appropriate for a wide range of ages. We happened to have a cloudy morning, so the weather was perfect for walking around the farm without getting too hot. Parking was easy and available right on site. A little tip: Wear comfortable sneakers and make sure you have good balance. There are some areas of the farm with gentle inclines and declines, so it's not completely flat. Since the bridge was out, there was also less walking than there normally would be. And of course, the coffee sampling was such a fun part of the experience! If you're visiting the Big Island and want to learn more about authentic Kona coffee rather than just buying a bag at a store, I highly recommend putting Greenwell Farms on your itinerary. We're so glad we went. It was educational, relaxed, beautiful, and genuinely fun -- and our guide made it that much more memorable. Mahalo to the Greenwell Farms team for such a wonderful experience!

Kona Brewing Company was one of our favorite casual spots during our stay. Great service, great food, and a beautiful, relaxed setting that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy yourself. I had the Brewben both times and loved it. It was incredibly flavorful, generously portioned, and clearly good enough that I didn't feel the need to try something different on our second visit! One of my favorite beers of all time is their Hanalei IPA. It somehow manages to be light and refreshing while still having the flavor and complexity you expect from an IPA. I can never seem to find it on the mainland, so I was especially happy to enjoy it here and introduce a few of my friends to it. We also had the opportunity to try their seltzer with shave ice flavors, which was such a fun local touch. They absolutely nailed the shave ice flavor! Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and consistently great service, this became an easy repeat for our group. Definitely worth a visit while you're in Kona!
