Nothing like it. You can even take a walk through the coffee plants they're beautiful and it's a peaceful ambiance.

She said all coffees are pre-sold and orders are taken in advance as they roast fresh what they sell. When I looked depressed and dejected, she said they have about 10# of espresso coffee beans just roasted and if I would like that. Of course, I said yes and bought 2lbs. Next morning after landing back home, the espresso beans were just amazing. They were not as dark as I thought - it was the perfect dark roast I was looking for. Not burnt - very low acid - wonderful fruity taste/aroma. Going to mail order another 5# and try their other roasts.

Occupying a space at industrial-alike area, the place somewhat looked like a converted warehouse but did make sense knowing they had the roastery on the spot. We loved the huge and humble open space with warm-welcoming baristas who made intentional effort getting to know the consumers. We got their Macadamia Nut Latte as we're indeed on the quest of comparing this signature flavor from all across coffee shops we visited in town. Great news, we totally got the high rating Tradition got as their coffee was so aromatic and flavorful and we did love their house syrup! Besides, their packaging was literally out of the box - never seen similar one before!

My only issue was some guy was on the street smoking, and I just happened to be downwind. Other than that, looking forward to returning! Mahalo Chad!

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Ordering done through the small window on the corner but they did have spaces to enjoy your coffee right at the venue as well if you opted to. It was not overly busy but they did take awhile to get the orders ready. Prolly understandable given the server was the one accepting orders and also acting barista. She's just super sweet, making the wait bearable. We got their Kai latte, which was basically their signature latte served with house-made mac nut syrup. Great choice to try when you want to get something with Hawaiian touch, especially with the coffee being pretty good.
