    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!

Perfect lunch stop for those on their way to Waipio Valley or heading out to Waimea or Hilo side. My partner and I shared the Tri-tip sandwich and a quiche. The quiche had a golden flaky crust, peppery bacon, and fluffy eggs. So good we forgot to take a picture. lol. The sandwich was packed with flavorful beef, roasted peppers, arugula, and a spicy horseradish sauce all on poi bread. Pricey at $18, but big enough for two to share. The combination of toppings on the homemade crunchy poi bread makes it worth it! Service was pretty quick, friendly, and helpful. There's so many cool local products to look at while you wait, so that's a nice way to pass the time. There's also outdoor seating and a bookshelf to browse. We definitely want to try more of their delicious sandwiches. Honokaa Country Market will be our go-to sandwich spot on the island!

We rolled in with a family of 10, which is usually enough to make any restaurant quietly panic. To make things even more interesting, our group was split in two, with the second half arriving about 20 minutes later. The staff didn't miss a beat. They made sure everyone was accommodated and able to enjoy lunch together without making us feel like we'd just thrown a wrench into their afternoon. That's the kind of service you don't forget. Speaking of service, the wait staff was warm, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They struck that perfect balance of making you feel welcome without hovering over the table asking if you're "still working on that." Now for the food... wow. The BBQ sampler was loaded with smoky, tender goodness, the poke nachos disappeared faster than I could claim a second helping, and the tacos were absolutely delicious. Every bite reminded us why people rave about this place. And then... dessert arrived. The banana cream pie and the chocolate cake didn't just end the meal they stole the show. If you leave without trying one (or both), you may want to reconsider your life choices. The rustic décor and relaxed atmosphere make this BBQ joint feel like you're eating at a friend's house and if your friend happened to be an incredible pitmaster. Fantastic food, outstanding service, and a staff that genuinely cares about their guests. Fish and the Hog isn't just worth the drive it's worth planning your day around. Five stars without hesitation. We'll definitely be back... preferably wearing stretchy pants.

The flavor wasn't kicking nor was it really that spicy at all. BBQ Sampler Plate w/ fries & grilled pineapple $37.95 - Good price point for a sampler. We've eaten a ton of BBQ around the US and the brisket was one of my favorites. The ribs had a sweetness I really enjoyed. Reuben Spring Rolls $16 - Not pictured but loved them! Chocolate Cake $12 - Since it was my actual birthday, my partner wanted to get me a slice of cake but boy are they huge. It was absolutely delicious but we had to take it to go. I would recommend they have smaller slices as eating a ton of BBQ and devouring a huge slice of cake is due for a heart attack. Ambiance 5/5 Got a nice table by the window minus the horsefly. Service 3/5 The lady who sat us and took our drink orders is extremely sweet and friendly. Our service was just okay, she didn't really add to our experience as if there was something on her mind.

Well that ain't happening here. Stopped here to grab a few basics. Shelves are almost empty and selection sparse. But the kicker was the attitude of the woman behind the counter. Surly, snappy and went out of her way to be unpleasant. We all have bad days but rolling your eyes because I ask for sauce on the side instead of on top for a poke bowl? Arguing with me because I want to buy twelve Sparkling Ice drinks? Another eye roll when we added another popsicle to our items before she was finished ringing up all our items! I should have just left everything on the counter and walked out. Instead I spent $100 and got tons of attitude. Couple days later I needed more ice. Go back here? Heck no.
