    While I can appreciate the gorgeous ocean view and the incredible lush greens surrounding the property I'd be lying if I said they were the draws to this location. A quick tour through the separating and roasting rooms gave some depth to the finished product, but ultimately the smell of that ground up bean is too tantalizing to resist. You can buy authentic, 100% Kona coffee anywhere if you try hard enough. You fly 3500 miles across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean for the peaberry blend. The view is just a bonus. The trip was worth the 10.5 hour flight.

    What a peaceful and memorable experience we shared at Kona Joes! From the moment we walked up to get a coffee we were greeted by Kenzie. After ordering our drinks and hearing about the tours, we decided to book one. Kenzie ended up being our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant, friendly and passionate about coffee. She made the whole experience enjoyable. Not only is the views breathtaking, but the coffee was amazing too. We even stopped by again during our stay in Kona and shipped some to our home. If you're a coffee lover I highly recommend grabbing a cup of Kona Joe!

    Stopped here on a whim and so glad we did, once you pass the parking lot you are met with the most unexpected and magical view. Staff was very friendly and informative on the options. I'm not a huge coffee drinker but our friends were, I opted for a shake with coffee in it and honestly it was delicious. The best part was sitting and relaxing enjoying the view.

    Even if the coffee were to be bad here. The view would make up for it. Such a beautiful setting. And lucky for us, the coffee was so good too. The service was friendly and quick. We sat here taking in the beauty while sipping on warm coffees that morning. What more could you want?

    There are many coffee shops and plantations in Kona and the surrounding areas, but none of them have the view that Kona Joes has. Great coffee, and great service. Love this place.

    Kona Joe's is by far my favorite coffee spot in Kona! I was here two years ago and have been dreaming about their coffee ever since. Finally back -- this time with my mom and sister and they love it just as much as I do. We all had the caramel macchiato with coconut milk, which is absolutely delicious. And the view? You simply can't beat it. Perfect coffee, amazing atmosphere, and the best start to any Kona morning!

    3 Ono fish tacos

    Fish tacos at a coffee plantation?!?!? Yes! You can get delicious Baja California -inspired grilled Ono fish tacos on Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday from 11am to 4pm at Kona Joe's. The order window is located where the tour film is viewed; and you are able to enjoy your delightful meal (fish tacos, birria tacos, quesadillas, etc.) while taking in Kona Joe's breathtaking view. Enjoy some coffee while you are there or take in one of the very informative tours. @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle

    Beautiful view overlooking from their fields

    This place is amazing. The view is breathtaking and absolutely just for that worth coming here. I will say their service is a bit limited, I think they're kinda understaffed and your coffee will vary with whichever barista is available. I wish they had more food choices, that would make this place even more amazing. Just some pastries and bagels. But unfortunately due to lack of staff I think that's kinda impossible as of now to increase their food choices. They have a lovely gift shop as well to purchase company's coffee, mugs, etc. Anyway when in town, this place is a must visit!

    Grind em up!

    Great place to visit if you are driving from the Kailua-Kona area to visit 'the Volcano'. Or, just drive south and come get some coffee for the day. They offer coffee tours and classes but didn't catch one when we stopped by. However, we just wanted to get a good cup of coffee and enjoy the view and Kona Joe's delivered on both of those. Check out my pics but the view is great! And, they have on site parking

    INCREDIBLE VIEW AT KONA JOE'S COFFEE ==================================== My sister lives nearby and let me use her car to explore, so I popped into Kona Joe's one morning. I didn't do the tour, but you can try samples in the nice gift store and I did that. I walked out to the lawn to soak up the amazing view and helped a few tourists take photos. There is a little cafe where you can just soak up the amazing view too. Definitely check it out.

    Great coffee...so good! Beautiful mountain setting to sip a latte while enjoying a panoramic ocean view! Bought 2 bags of 100% kona coffee to bring home, though not 100% from their farm. Hopefully they have a bigger production next year, cause it's really delicious coffee! Highly recommend!

    View from the coffee bar.

    My family did the $30 tour & it was awesome! The tour was quick about 30 min but packed with information. The girl who gave our tour was incredibly kind and informative. The two girls making coffee were also very knowledgeable and friendly as well. The farm itself has a great view and the coffee was very tasty. Definitely worth making the stop!

    Such great views of the Pacific Ocean down below the coffee fields, and you certainly cannot go wrong with that. Kona Joe's Coffee is definitely one of the many great coffee farms to check out, and they offer a variety of different tours. I went with their "Combined Tour", and that also included roasting my own coffee beans (in a 10 oz. bag) and a cute Kona Joe's souvenir mug as well as touring their facilities! And a fresh cup of Kona Joe Coffee was also included, and it was nice and refreshing, especially as someone who loves and depends on coffee a lot nowadays.

    We had this on the list of a must do in Hawaii. We caught the last tout of the day. When you…read morearrive, you meet at the outdoor coffee shop where we were greeted and welcomed. If this area is also where you can sample the different blends. When the tour started we gathered outside and there were quite a large number of people. We have one guide and she was very nice a knowledgable about the farm and the coffee making process. She spoke about the family, how it was started, the amount of different types of trees that is grown: mango, lychee, papaya, avocado, and bananas. They even have black peppercorn which we were able to sample and how it tastes different. Their roasting process was well explained. Bottom line, to be deemed Kona Coffee - it needs to be grown on Kona soil. It is too bad we couldn't get close to the coffee trees cause the bride was damaged due the bad flooding that occurred early in the year. The campus is beautiful and of course we bought some coffee. When we return to Hawaii, I would like to go back here if the bridge is repaired.

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.

We also happen to love astronomy, which made the stargazing tour an easy choice for us. It was also extremely important that we selected an experience that offered *small* tour groups and was locally owned and operated. Drew was an absolutely fantastic and entertaining host. His enthusiasm and knowledge shines through the way he spoke non-stop from the moment he picks you up. On this tour, we visited Bay View Coffee Farm, Punalu'u Bake Shop, Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and stargazed near Mauna Kea. This was a LONG tour, but was filled with so much fun that time flew by. Although we missed Kīlauea's most recent fountaining episode (51) by a few days, Drew still made time for us to catch the lava glow which was super cool and a highlight of the tour. Our weather was not super favorable with thick, overcast skies; and my partner and I actually gave up on our hopes of stargazing. But Drew is so observant of the weather that when a window to view the night sky opened up, he did so. He provided thick coats to those that needed them and spent some time pointing out different stars and constellations. By this time in the evening, it was really cold and we didn't mind our limited stargazing time. We truly enjoyed our experience, as well as Drew's expertise and respect in regards to Hawai'i's culture and history. We highly recommend that you take a Wasabi Tour early in your trip (like first day if you can), and then you can tailor the rest of your Big Island afterward.
