A MUST-MUST TRY on the Big Island!…read more Patisserie Nanako absolutely blew me away. I literally had happy tears after my first bite - no joke! The vanilla fruit roll cake was so soft, airy, and perfectly balanced with fresh fruit... I actually got emotional eating it And the curry pan? Oh. My. God. Buttery and soft on the outside, perfectly savory inside -- just amazing. Everything here tastes like it's made with so much love and care. The ambience is cozy and simple with just a tiny bakery with a two tables -- but the service was incredible. Everyone was so patient and kind, and you can truly see the owner putting her heart and soul into every single item. They do sell out fast, so make sure you go early in the morning. If you're visiting the Big Island, don't miss this place, it's pure happiness in pastry form!

If you are ever in Waimea town. I highly recommend stopping by tea o clock. The owners and there…read moreteam are incredible. They are very welcoming always engaging with their customers. No matter how busy they are you will never feel rushed to order very Superb customer service from start finish. Their shop is very clean, spacious and really comfortable. There boba teas are amazing everything hand crafted and fresh each morning. There sandwiches are so delicious made to perfection. And what I like about it to they have coffee (iced or hot) served all day daily fresh. The appearance and taste is very well made. So if you are wanting some coffee I highly recommend tea o clock.

Came here on a Wednesday 10 min before closing. The person before me just ordered the last batch of…read morehouse made boba. My partner and I specifically came here for that. We were welcomed with the friendliest staff with big smiles on their face right when we walked in. We were kind of hungry after a long day coming from Hilo, so we ordered Kimchee pastrami sandwich and a watermelon refresher type drink with popping boba. The drink was very refreshing! The sandwich was DELICIOUS like a premium panini sandwich that came with what tasted like Maui onion kettle chips. Perfect combo! Told the owner I wanted to try their house made boba & because we came all the way from Hilo, she was able to give me a sample of what they had left since it wasn't enough to add to my drink. So thoughtful! I wanted to re-visit and try their hand made boba before we left the big island. We came back the following Friday and ordered butterfly pea type drink with fresh boba, tuna melt and an croffle that came with fresh Ube dipping cream on the side. Everything was great! Ambiance was calm, not too crazy. They had about 3 tables with a couple chairs for indoor seating and board games. I would definitely come back if I return to the big island!

The malasadas are great, fresh and lots of filling. I couldn't get over the AI generated menus…read morethough because it was....tacky. All the other menu items "looked" good and I ordered a coconut fruit water thinking it would be absolutely loaded with fruits but....it was extremely underwhelming. I think if you're gonna use AI generated photos you should at least make the actual product you hand paying customers, look like the photo. I got a huge cup of coconut water with 3 slices of kiwi, some blueberries and a couple slices of strawberry(she told me it would have pineapple but it didn't which was ironic because right across the malasada truck there's always the people selling fresh pineapple). The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup I tried on a different occasion was delicious but honestly that's an item that isn't complicated to make so I wasn't surprised. I also wanted an Açaí bowl but sadly they didn't have that available so I can't say much. Y'all should ditch the fancy drinks. Just sell water and canned juice along side with the real money makers, the MALASADAS. Also ditch the AI menu because at this point it's just false advertising for the photos to look so perfect and the product so underwhelming.

Stopped by the Waikoloa location for a quick snack after a long day at the pool. First impression…read morewalking in was really good -- the place is clean, modern, and has a nice family-friendly vibe. Good music playing, plenty of seating, and overall a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the Blue Hawaiian/Strawberry Swirl, a root beer float, and mint chocolate chip loaded with candy toppings. Everything tasted really good and the ice cream itself was super flavorful. My only small complaint is the extra charge for each topping. Paying $0.50 per topping can add up pretty quickly. A couple other minor things: the lights kept turning off because of the motion sensors, and the young lady at the counter didn't seem very enthusiastic about helping explain the ordering process after we mentioned it was our first time there. The interaction felt a little rushed. That said, the ice cream was definitely good enough for me to come back again while I'm on the island for the next few days. Overall, still a solid spot to check out. Aloha!

I'm posting an updated photo of the current menu to help other visitors. That said, this place is definitely worth the stop. The coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere has that relaxed Big Island local charm. It's the kind of spot where you can sit, sip your coffee, and just enjoy the slower pace of Waimea. Service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. Perfect stop if you're exploring the Waimea area or in my case, heading to Hilo. Extra! You can order your iced drink with coffee flavored ice cubes for an additional charge of course :-)

Small and upbeat cafe with Jamaican patties, salads, wraps, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices…read more The cafe is bright and cheery with music that will get you in a good mood! Service is quick since everything is grab and go style. I tried the spicy beef and cheese patty and Jamaican jerk chicken salad bowl. The patty had a golden, flaky, toasty crust with a nicely spiced beef and cheese filling. It was still warm too! The salad was fresh with lovely seasoning on the chicken. The pineapple provided a nice burst of tartness and the pumpkin seeds added crunchiness. Such a refreshing salad to go with a hearty beef patty. Overall, Jam Pot is a great spot for a fresh, flavor-packed lunch when you are in a hurry or just craving a warm and toasty Jamaican patty. They do have a lot of vegan options which is amazing! I'm looking forward to trying the spicy vegan patty and a fresh juice the next time.

I love the different flavors for the shave ice--I always get what I consider to be more Hawaiian or tropical (after all, when in Rome...) Portions are large! In November 2025, I got the 3 flavor guava pineapple and all natural lychee $6 but in the past, I've also enjoyed li hing mui, guava, and lilikoi with mochi (+$1), as well as pina colada! I keep coming back and so should you!
