    Macadamia coffee and Samoa coffee. So good. Small stop along the way to the volcano from Kailua. Quick and efficient service. Small inside and a few seats outside.

    Breakfast Bagel w/ no tomato. Delish!
    Dawn-Rene M.

    I'm a regular here but this is my first time trying the breakfast bagel with pesto! anything with pesto, it's a go for me! I love the community! I love the service! I love the atmosphere! and if I had the money, I'd probably show up on the daily ;)

    Kona Mocha

    I went here with my family , and we all got the Kona mocha. I highly recommend it! Then I split the coffee cake with my mom. It was the best coffee cake I ever had!

    Menu and seating

    Chai and coffee delicious! The espresso brownie and coffee cake amazing! Great little place with seating, snacks and art. Will return!

    Nice little cafe at the southern side. Not the best coffee (latte). Couldn't tell if it was the beans or just too much water for the amount of beans. Either way the flavor was a little weak. Food was great (coffee cake). They have a food truck that we didn't try but seemed to have a good selection

    This coffee shop has quickly become one of favorite coffee shops. I love the owners story. I love that this kid created a better life for himself and has a great work ethic. It's easy to support and get behind their dreams. They are the only "local" coffee shop on the west and south side of the island open at 6:30am. They are conveniently located off the highway. Lots of seating. They have game night once in a while. They also made three gallons of hot coffee and let us use their carafes for my brother funeral reception. It's nice to have this service in this small town. We were very grateful. I highly recommend stopping here for your latte, tea and coffee!

    Correct me if I'm wrong but given its close proximity to Punalu'u Bake Shop, Honua's Coffee House could possibly be the southern most coffee shop in the United States! This humble gem of coffee shop is conveniently located along the side of the Mamalahoa Highway so if you're ever driving along the southern part of the Big Island and on your long way to Hilo or Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Honua makes for a great pit stop to get your 100% Kona coffee caffeine fix. I got an iced mocha frappe and loved how smooth and perfectly rich it was as well as the cute cup they had my 12 oz serving in. Honua also sells baked goods and candies from local vendors and has this awesome maritime and sea monster art in their indoor lobby that I wish wasn't shut down by covid. Like many businesses in Hawaii, the store is manned by some very friendly and informative folks.

    Mauna Loaded

    My first time here & I made it just before closing. Ordered the Mauna Loaded. 10/10, so delicious! I asked for a little less sweetener than they would normally add.

    Carry out window only, still requires us to wear a mask to order at the outside porch window. I stayed in the car and waited, it's hot and we are outside after all. Ordered a large mango smoothie and a raspberry mocha. It cost a bit over $12. They use soy milk for their mango smoothie, makes it taste odd and not so good to me. The raspberry mocha was ok. Service was ok. Drinks were blah.

    Drinks and Baked Goods We started our day early so we could get to as many places on our 2nd day in the Big Island. Half our crew are coffee drinkers and can't function without their cup o' joe's so we stopped by Honua's to grab some coffee drinks, smoothies and some baked goods, their sweet (vegan) treats! The gals were helpful and friendly and cranked out our orders as fast as they could. Drink options offered: coffee, tea, and smoothies. I'm not a coffee drinker but I tried my hubby's mocha blended drink. Yum! I chose a strawberry and lilikoi smoothie instead. They make smoothies with plant based milk and my drink was very good. They have baked goods that are clearly labeled as vegan. I'm not vegan but I have family members that are and the fact that they even have vegan options is great. We sat outside at their outdoor patio while we enjoyed our treats. We even had a little visitor drop by in his green Hawaiian shirt... scroll through my pics and see if you can find the little guy. Honua's occupies an old building and is conveniently located next to a 76 gas station in Na'alehu on Mamalahoa Highway. We drove through lush vegetation and green valleys and hills. Review #2277

    I would recommend Honua's without a doubt. It was the perfect first stop on my trip. There were many wonderful drink options (I got a happy smoothie with guava juice) and small bakery bites like the tasty vegan lemon cake. The barista was very friendly and made everything to order very very quickly. There are also small artisan items for sale like art, jewelry, clothing, candles in the cafe as well as a large room with games or an outdoor patio. I look forward to coming back again on my trip.

    Possibly the best latte I've had on Hawai'i. Some actual strength to the kau coffee.
    Andrea A.

    Possibly the best latte I've had on Hawai'i. The Kau espresso they use has way more strength and flavor than any of the Kona ones we tried. They actually make a decaf latte as well - hubs was happy since the place we used to go to stopped carrying it. Lilikoi bar had good flavor but wasn't my fave texture. Five stars anyway because the coffee was just that far above their competition's.

    Olena V.

    The reviews don't lie - this is a very cute jungle-like coffee shop with the best coffee I've had in Big Island and a good selection of home-made snacks.

    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 first came across Ka'u local buzz coffee and Paradise Meadows a couple of years ago and decided…read morethat this was the best coffee I've ever had. Same for the Mac Nuts. 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!
