    Such a cute little fruit stand / smoothie & juice stand! The owner was super friendly 'and talked to us about her produce and how everything is natural no added sugar! Loved it recommend stopping!

    Lilikoi bars are amazing!

    The BEST smoothies on the island! We loved their smoothies so much (and the Lilikoi Dessert Bars) that we visited twice! Smoothies were so packed full of fresh fruit - they are delicious and so nicely priced. We tried the Pineapple Passion Fruit, Pineapple Guava, and Papaya Banana. The best smoothies we've ever had. They have snacks, gifts, macadamia nuts, local products, and tons of fresh fruits in addition to smoothies and sandwiches. The staff was lovely, especially the woman who had fresh flowers in her hair daily.

    The cutest little fruit stand/ lunch spot. Delicious smoothies, coffee, sandwiches & the best carrot cake we've ever had. You stop in the shop and then you go around back to the coziest little spot to sit and eat, surrounded by Hawaiian nature & a natural water fall/ fountain. Definitely recommend.

    The fruit just hits different in Hawaii! We made this a multi day stop for smoothies. Even doubling back a couple times as we explored the Kona side of the island. Worth the drive!

    Every time we're on the Big Island, we now make it a point to stop at the South Kona Fruit Stand -- and it never disappoints. It's one of those places that feels like a true local treasure. Everything is fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. The white pineapple, papaya, and mango are always perfect, and the smoothies are honestly some of the best I've ever had. It's more than just a fruit stand, it's a peaceful little stop where you can slow down, enjoy the view, and soak in the aloha. The staff is friendly, the vibe is laid-back, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. If you're driving through South Kona, do yourself a favor and pull over. Whether you grab some fruit, a fresh coconut, or just a smoothie, you won't regret it. This place is a favorite for a reason.

    The merchant who helped us was so sweet, just like the fruit she sells. Really excited to try some new fruit.

    Really cute and cozy local fruit sand. Good smoothies, I loved my Lilikoi and pineapple which was tart and fresh fruits with coconut water, and very refreshing. You'll find Avo, Papaya, unique local fruits and packed salad (papaya salad), dips (guacamole) and sandwiches. Back seating area has shaded tables and view of the ocean on one side and fruits trees & birds on the other. Really peaceful vibe here. Takes CC with no service charge, $10 minimum.

    Rambutan!

    The cutest fruit stand with exotic fruit for cheap, friendly workers, and a nice seating area with a view. Saw this fruit stand on the side of the road as we were travelling back and forth from Captain Cook. Wanted to stop by and see what kind of fruit they had. We ended up picking up rambutan, papaya, apple banana, ugli fruit, and these cherries that were almost bell pepper-like. The cashier was super sweet and helpful as we browsed and shopped. Didnt get to try their fresh smoothies but I bet those were delicious too.

    Wonderful treat after visiting the national park. Great smoothies, fruit and sandwiches well worth a stop. Thank you, Greg and Roberta From Napa, California

    Fresh organic fruit, refreshing smoothies, yummy sandwiches, friendly service. A must stop if you are passing thru. Lots of outdoor shaded seating in the garden

    This place is a cute little place that we went to today. They sells a lot of tropical food including snake fruits. I always wanted to try snake fruit and this place has it. There are also bake goods and drinks. The lady that sell us the fruits was super nice and give directions on the proper way to eat the fruits. It was great.

    When you just hike the Captain Cook Monument without liquid with you of course you're dying to slurp anything cold after. Goodness along the way to Hilo this fruit stand stall is a savior for our thirsty throat. We stopped here for some smoothies and watery fruits. Bandit got the chocolate peanut butter banana and rice milk smoothie while I got the mango banana apple juice. T'was okay. Not the best. It's refreshing though coz its cold. Got the Caimito with us to munch along the road. The Caimito fruit was so good. It's sweetness is just right! If only there's other fruit stand nearby I'll check it out for sure. I mean, the woman who took orders are a bit grumpy. Also, when I tried to ask for a knife to cut the Caimito she said that they won't do it coz of Covid. I don't wanna comment coz it's just unreal. Like duh, I can wash it for you if you like Auntie. But yeah, ended up using my teeth to slit the fruit. LoL. A bit messy but all worth it! Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

    Cute local stand with lots of different fruits we have never heard of or seen before. The owner was super friendly and helpful, helping us decide which fruits to try and informing us to wash the fruits with soap and water. We ended up buying apple banana, strawberry papaya, snake fruit, white guava, abiu, and rollinia. We also got a #7 smoothie which had mango, papaya, and apple juice - we chugged it! In the back they have some baked goods and bottled drinks. We got a lilikoi bar, candied ginger and some bottled water.

He reassured…read moreme that he would have it ready for me to pickup later in the day and that it would be readily retrievable by any of the available staff. He emphatically declared that it was not unusual for him to take an order over the phone. I should have realized that it was probably not going to happen when I had to give him my name before ending the call. In retrospect, I should have called him later in the day to see if it was done but it was the first time dealing with him so I was giving him the benefit of my doubts. Guess what? After making a special trip to the store, there was no order to be found anywhere. That was my protein for the next three days and what they had in the counter was not that appetizing and were much larger cuts of fish cuts and no guarantees that they were, in fact, yellow-fin tuna. He guaranteed that he was going to cut a specific weight for me of yellow-fin tuna caught fresh the previous day. I spent at least ten minutes on the phone with him having a very friendly conversation that sounded genuine. The staff offered no apologies or compensation of any sort for my ordeal almost insinuating that I was fabricating the whole situation.

So you won't get all that fake plastic junk that smells foofy. Instead you will get REAL 100% Kona coffee beans, fresh fruit, lush flowers, and geckos. You will hear frogs at night, and roosters in the morning, mid morning you will hear chickens making those cute chicken sounds. You will see Daisy the dog running through the grass following her trusty master Todd. This is a working farm people, so there is work for the family to do. Sitting on the lanai having fresh coffee in the mornings and then having a beer in the afternoon is all great. There is a grocery store about 10 minutes north that has everything you want, and there are also local places to eat. Two step is a close drive, Captain Cook and Kealakakua Bay are a nice drive and a town where you can, if you want, get foofy things. Volcanoes NP is 1.5 hours away. Note: be patient driving down the driveway!! GO 5MPH or you can do some damage to your rental car. You will bounce around if you go any faster than 5mph. Todd was a great host and was easily accessible by text. He will take you on a tour of the farm (which I highly recommend) and make sure you are comfortable and set in your rental. Thank you Todd for making this a great stay!

    KTA Express, you're a lifesaver!…read more I came to the KTA Express store twice in recent weeks, and this store/supermarket totally saved me from having to drive back in town (Kailua-Kona) to buy something I sorely needed. I was working at a local bank next door doing some lock work when I realized I needed a few 9-volt batteries to fix something. Being that I was traveling, and did not have access to all my normal gear, I asked the bank people where was the nearest store? Originally I was worried that I might have to drive all the way back to Kailua-Kona to get what I needed, but luckily KTA had a store in Kealakekua. Walked over to the KTA store, as it was just a hop, skip, & jump away from the local bank (where I was working). Got what I needed, and time & resources were saved that day! Last week Thursday I found myself back in Kealakekua working at a credit union this time. No, I didn't need anything in particular for the credit union this time, but after finishing the job at the credit union, the KTA store was very convenient for me to get some drinks & some grub. Apparently the KTA Express has a vendor - L&L Drive-In that does pre-made - ready to eat bentos. Some of the items looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a shot & picked up a mini BBQ Chicken & Noodle Bento. The mini bento was pretty tasty, and best part of it all is that I didn't have to go far to get my lunch grub. KTA Express in Kealakekua, you're a lifesaver! Lol!
