That said, the sandwiches were excellent. The BLT was the best I've had - the bacon was crispy and overall just delicious. The tri-tip sandwich was also great.

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!

Visiting from out of town and stopped by this market during my extended stay on the Big Island…read more Pros: 1. Super convenient location if you're nearby. 2. Carries all the essentials, plus some fun local snacks worth trying. 3. Clean and well-organized layout. Cons: 1. Prices are on the higher side. If you're staying for a while and have a Costco membership, I'd recommend stocking up there for better value. 2. Customer service isn't particularly warm--but it's a grocery store, so I didn't expect much more than the basics. 3. Limited options for non-dairy or gluten-free shoppers, which could be a downside for those with dietary restrictions. Overall, it was a solid first local market experience. I probably wouldn't return unless it was out of convenience, mainly due to pricing. That said, I do appreciate having it close by for quick grab-and-go items.

I highly recommend this as one of the best chocolate tours!…read moreWe took the two hour tour with our family - it was a nice small group of six in total. Mike was not only an expert in all things chocolate, but he is easy to understand, he takes time to teach you and answer any questions and he has a great personality! It was pouring down rain the day we went, yet the tour was still a great success. We started out at the farm and then concluded down at the shop. You get to taste fresh cacao, nibs, cacao tea and kakao brew - of course at the shop are the full chocolate bars. Mike clearly loves what he does and enjoys sharing that love with his customers. The only down side is that after listening to Mike you will be ruined forever on eating any other general retail chocolate. So long Hershey and friends!

He built his cacao farm from the bottom up and it was amazing to witness his progress ever since 2017. He walked us through the seed germination process, the growing process, the fermentation process and everything before, in between and after that.. from seed all the way to chocolate bar. This tour is meant to expand your knowledge and change your perspective on how you think about, taste, and experience chocolate. At the end of the farm tour, you drive down to the gift shop (about a 3 min drive from the farm) to make any potential purchases as well as taste even more chocolate! What an amazing and unique experience in Honaka'a and 100% recommend adding this tour to your Big Island itinerary. P.S. my favorite chocolate bar is the barrel aged bourbon bar!! Notes of dark cherry with a bourbon finish :)

The produce we sampled was all absolutely delicious, especially the blimbi (which tasted like a crunchy lime and is related to star fruit).

The t-shirts are super breathable and perfect for summer weather, and the hat is very comfy too. I still can't believe what a great deal everything was.

When we finally decided to move here, this coffee soon became our daily drinker. It makes a wonderful pour over in a Chemex. We place an order more or less monthly and delivery via mail is always prompt. The beans are always freshly roasted as evidenced by the noticeable effervescence (bloomimg) as the entrapped carbon dioxide gas bubbles off during the pour over. The coffee trees are raised organically and grow under a canopy of Koa trees to keep them shaded and to produce an environment that sustains Hawaiian wildlife. Strongly recommended,
