    Coconut cream + kona coffee in a waffle cone and a cup of macadamia nut
    Taylor R.

    We came in on a Monday afternoon with the sole purpose of finding and ordering ice cream. There are a few patrons, but it was relatively slow. They had a little bit of outdoor seating and the inside had a bunch of different locally made products you could buy in addition to food and/or coffee. This ice cream texture almost reminds me of a mix between ice cream and gelato. My husband and I both absolutely loved the flavors that we had. They didn't have too much of a selection, but if you're in the area and are craving ice cream, this is definitely the place to go!

    We stopped here for some ice cream and a coffee. I had a mud in a cone and it was so good. I also ordered a cold brew (they forgot the cream but wasn't an issue for me). The coffee was still amazing and hit the spot the cream didn't. If I lived here, this place would be a regular stop for me.

    Fun stop on our way through Hawi - staff were friendly, doors were open so sitting inside was still nice, the smoothie bowl was delicious. Would love to come back and try the Lox sammy.

    Located on the Main Street in Kapa`au you'll find street parking as well as a gravel parking lot two doors down. They serve tasty pastries, ice cream and a variety of coffee drinks. You'll also be able to purchase merch and coffee beans to go. Large front lanai with 6 tables to grab a bite, service was efficient when ordering lunch. The barista is friendly and talkative which helps to keep the tourists engaged.

    Was staying at Kohala Village Inn nearby, decided to go on a whim. Some of the best coffee and açaí bowls I've ever had. I'm from SoCal and the the açaí bowls back home just don't hit quite the same.

    Came across this scrumptious gem as we drove north for the day. It caught our eye when we heard a musician sitting outside. The casual vibe seemed perfect to rest and catch a bite at. Our daughter wanted a smoothie and I tried the tuna melt. Both were delicious and I would definitely go again. Cashier gave good recommendations and service.

    Very fresh food, quality ingredients, delicious too! The ice cream was yummy too, but we never got a picture of it! Prices are $$ Located on the main road through Hawi, it's worth driving the road to Hawi for the beautiful views and the gourmet food. It's a charming town to explore too.

    This is a wonderful place to get good coffee, breakfast food, and meet locals, as they really do gather here very frequently. We went the first time on a Sunday, as I was in need of some good coffee that they could grind for me as we were housesitting for people who had a sub-par grinder. They were so very helpful and guided me to their Puna Punch bean, which was the light roast I wanted. They then grinded it for me for the moka pot. I also got a Salted Caramel Cortado, and a Lox Bagel. Both were delicious...especially all the parts of the bagel...capers, onions, tomatoes, cream cheese, and good lox. Hubby got one too with his cappuccino. We came back the following Saturday fairly early so we could park in Hawi and sit at the coffee mill to watch the Ironman bicycle leg, as Hawi was the turnaround point. It was amazing to be there with all the locals and all the women flying through (it's grown so big, this is the first year they split the field & it was women only in the Kona event). All the local youth had tables out for the feed zone and got the chance to hand water bottles etc. to the elite athletes. Excellent experience and all right there at the Coffee Mill. By the way, a week later I ran out of coffee, but we were in Waimea so went to their sister (mother?)-store Waimea Coffee to get the Puna Punch beans and they were just as friendly. Go for the coffee, stay for the local vibe.

    Wonderful coffee and wonderful people. We came here because it was pretty close by to where we were staying and decided to grab a coffee and a breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious and so fresh. The latte had beautiful latte art, and the burrito was filling and so cheesey! I wish I lived closer because I would be here every weekend.

    Delicious coffee, yummy fresh sandwiches and sweet potatoe sides and sometimes live music. Will be back! Looks popular for a post cycling stop too - especially for ice cream!

    This is a great spot for coffee and/or a quick bite of food to get your morning started as you travel up the coast.

    The coffee, the smoothie, the sandwich, the ambiance -- all excellent! We enjoyed our stop here on our drive around the Big Island!

    I wish I had found this spot sooner! We passed by it several times during our trip and had no idea…read morewhat we were missing. I love Dole Whip, but this place serves their own version called Pineapple Cream, and in my opinion, it's a million times better. They even have a poster in the shop comparing the ingredients, and let's just say they're not shy about pointing out what's in Dole Whip versus their own product. Their Pineapple Cream is made with simple ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. They offer a variety of island inspired flavors, which made it tough to choose because everything sounded delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't discover this place until our last night in Maui. Otherwise, I have no doubt we would have come back multiple times during our trip. If you're a fan of pineapple ice cream, this is a must-visit. Seating was limited outdoors and inside was full. Wish they'd have more outdoor seating.

    We spent a week in paradise, and we had to check out the highly rated Island Cream. Island Cream…read moreCo. served some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The flavors were rich, unique, creamy, and absolutely delicious, and every bite lived up to the hype. What made the experience even better was the quick and efficient service. Even with extremely long lines of customers, the staff kept things moving smoothly without sacrificing friendliness. If you're an ice cream lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great ice cream and great service make for a winning combination.
