    Honey Girl Latte
    Shirley W.

    Located with other 'food trucks' and minimal tables around. There's also a large park nearby as well and there's plenty of parking! It wasn't busy at all when I visited, so we were quick to order. My friend and I ordered the Honey Girl latte and it was realllly good! Mac nut milk was really tasty. I wish the caffeine was a bit stronger. The longer the ice sat, it tasted more like a sweet coffee drink lol. Honestly, it was the best coffee I had during Hawaii trip!

    My coworker told me about her fav coffee so I gave it a try. No regret. one of the best!

    It was early and this place was open. Hard to find places in hilo that open early. I think I may have given this place more stars if they had 2%milk and maybe not putting so many black sesame seeds in my matcha. The matcha itself was good, and from Japan which I look for when getting my matcha's. The barista was super sweet and fast. Great service. Food truck style, a shared table near trailer. But other than that it is grab and go style. Off the road, look for the flag to know if it is open because you can't see the window open from the road.

    Vietnamese Coffee
    Gregory F.

    One block away from our glorious Airbnb and was a delicious stop. The Vietnamese coffee was wonderfully refreshing and reasonably priced. The breakfast pastries were solid too - had the entire carpark essentially to ourselves, service was quick and approachable, and something about a food truck just makes everything taste that much better. We were in such a good mood pulling away from here. Great start to the day!

    Honey Girl

    Tucked in a little lot with some other food trucks, you'll find Hilo Ice Coffee. Don't drive too fast down Kalanianaole St or you might miss the turn into the lot. We parked in the small parking lot for the park that's located behind the food trucks. There was no line when we got there so service was quick and friendly. Very casual place, there's a table under tents for you to sit down, but we were just there for a grab and go coffee before our next destination. We got their specialty latte drinks, Honey Girl (iced) and Ube (iced). Both drinks were sooo good! The ube latte featured ube in the milk, syrup and was even topped with an ube foam, but it wasn't an overpowering flavor. It was a well-balanced sip of ube and coffee that I could have just kept sipping away without stopping. I've been on a honey latte craze lately and it's been my go to order at all the local coffee shops so I was excited to try this place after seeing their menu had a speciality drink featuring honey. They used local honey and balanced it with macadamia nut milk and foam, YUM! It was not overly sweet and I feel like the honey really helps to make the espresso flavor pop. I believe the speciality drinks only came in one size. Prices are reasonable and a great price for the quality and local ingredients they use. Soo happy we stopped by this local gem and will be back to try their other speciality drinks the next time we're visiting.

    Walk up window to order.

    Everyone stop at Hilo Ice Coffee truck! I took forever trying to decide which coffee I wanted because everything on their specialty coffee list sounded so tasty! I went tight the Honey Girl (Macnut milk, honey with mac nut cold foam)!!! Delicious! Amazing! I love trying new coffee shops when I'm traveling and I highly recommend stopping by! There's a few tables to sit at, but it's more of a walk up and go.

    Iced black sesame latte with almond milk
    Hannah F.

    Wow! What an excellent tiny coffee truck! Located in a small food truck park on the side of the main road, Hilo Ice Coffee is an unassuming hidden gem that you don't want to miss. The barista was very kind when taking our orders and clearly put thoughtful effort into each drink. I ordered the iced black sesame latte and it was wonderful. The sesame flavoring is very subtle and the espresso was strong without being too much. Great find. Definitely a must visit spot during a trip to Hilo!

    Strawberry Matcha and Regular Matcha

    This place is such a hidden gem. I love supporting local and it did not disappoint. Located right after ponds in a cute little food truck. We tried the matcha lattes and it was sooooo good. They didn't charge for a milk substitute or added syrups which was a bonus. The people are the sweetest and the menu has a variety of options. Definitely coming back to try more things or get the matcha again.

    honey girl
    Sarah C.

    never thought I'd see an iced mac nut latte with mac nut foam but that was the honey girl latte ($6.75) they recommended and boy it was an amazing recommendation. it was nutty and the espresso was strong and not astringent. would definitely revisit to try other specialty lattes!

    Sweet little food-truck style spot
    Taren M.

    13/10 experience. Highly recommend. The women were kind, helpful, and patient. They had a small tent as well to keep you out of the rain or sun, with a little table. I am what you might call a matcha snob. Very very specific about what qualifies as a good matcha (creamy, smooth, energizing, good flavor) and this place checks *all* the boxes. I got a black sesame matcha with oat milk and I was not disappointed. There was no bitterness from the matcha and the oat milk was smooth and creamy-- not weirdly savory and tangy like some I've had at other spots on the island. If you're looking for good matcha come here. My partner got a cold brew and said it was delicious as well thanks ladies! You guys are crushing it!

    Coconut shaved ice
    Shelby S.

    We were in Hilo and I was excited to get shaved ice somewhere. This was a great choice because they have coffee and my husband was seeking caffeine. He really liked their iced coffee and I enjoyed a simple coconut shaved ice. They only had one size option available. It was super yummy. This is a food truck but accessible from a nearby parking lot and several other trucks were stopped here too. The server taking orders was really friendly and got items out quickly, despite how busy they were on the Thursday afternoon we went.

    black sesame latte with vanilla
    Raelene S.

    Best coffee, matcha, and service in Hilo and it isn't even close. The black sesame latte with vanilla is one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Premium ingredients and fast &friendly baristas is why I keep coming back!

    Wanted a sweet treat and decided on the Honey Girl....she was worth every penny. Not too sweet and great pick me up. The place is an area with some other food trucks so the area has a little bit of something for everyone in the group.

    My wife and I visited Hawaiian Shrimp Company since we were craving garlic shrimp. Located inside a…read moreseemingly deserted food court inside a strip mall, Hawaiian Shrimp Company is well hidden. Unless you're actively looking for it, you probably won't stumble upon it randomly. Between the two of us, we shared a single plate with garlic shrimp and lilikoi shrimp and three sides -- two scoops of taro potatoes (extra charge for having a duplicate side) and some broccoli. For close to $30, the shrimp plate feels expensive, but you actually get quite a bit of food -- definitely enough for two to comfortably share. Between the two types of shrimp (a plate comes with four of each), I liked the garlic shrimp a bit more. I loved how intense the garlic flavor was in the shrimp. In the past when I've had garlic shrimp in Hawaii, it's always been drown in a pool of butter, resulting in an oily coat around your mouth after each bite. The shrimp here uses a fraction of the butter and oil used elsewhere, leaving a much cleaner taste after each bite. With the lilikoi shrimp, my first bite reminded me walnut shrimp: there was a subtle sweetness to the shrimp. Unlike the garlic shrimp, the lilikoi shrimp are butterflied, making it easy to distinguish between which shrimp is what flavor. The fact that the shrimp can even be butterflied means the shrimp used here are quite large in size, indicative of the value you're getting with your plate. With the sides, the broccoli is well-seasoned, and the taro potatoes have nice large chunks mixed in. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my meal at Hawaiian Shrimp Company. I understand some folks would be quick to write-off a restaurant as understated as this one, but definitely give it a try if you're looking for some good tasting garlic shrimp.

    The food was epic. I got the shrimp plate, then the awesome workers allowed me to try the lilikoi…read moresauce. Everything worth the price
