I love the Surf Camp cafe in Niu Valley on Oahu, so I had to visit the Big Island location in…read moreWaimea! This coffee shop is located in a small plaza with a pizza place, taco spot, and Merriman's. The plaza itself has plenty of parking even when it's on the busier side on a weekend morning, so it's not hard to find a spot. Inside the cafe, there's a retail section that sells clothing and small goods, and a separate side to place your order and sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is bright and welcoming with a minimalist vibe, and even when we visited on a weekend morning, it was easy to find seating either indoors or outdoors. Service was wonderful -- we were helped promptly by staff, and my drink came out quickly. I got the black sesame latte with a chocolate chip cookie. I thought my drink was perfect, as the flavor of the black sesame was nutty, pleasant, and just the right amount of sweetness paired with the espresso. The cookie was on the softer/puffier side, and although it's not my preferred texture, it wasn't too bad! To sum up, I really enjoyed dropping by to get coffee here, and I feel like the quality of the drinks at Surf Camp is consistent across their different locations. I'll definitely come back if I ever find myself on Big Island for another trip!

I couldn't decide what to get, so I asked for a recommendation, and what they suggested was an absolute delight: The Wrangler. A MUST! The coffee was spectacular -- honestly, the best. My daughter ordered the matcha latte, and the matcha was ceremonial grade and so smooth. You can truly taste the quality. It was our first visit, but definitely not our last. We can't wait to come back again!

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'm incredibly thankful for this family in taking the time to show us the amount of work it goes into producing organic 100% Kona coffee. Tasting the coffee and sitting on their patio overlooking 2 Step and Captain Cook monument (best view in town!) was a delight. This is what traveling is all about. After the tour and tasting, we had the chance to purchase coffee beans and merchandise. I'm looking forward to brewing the coffee I bought. When I tasted their coffee, it was the best coffee I have ever had! Not just in taste but in feel. It didn't have that lingering acidic taste. Nor was I anxious to brush my teeth like I usually am immediately after drinking coffee.

I sampled all of them and they are ALL so good. Service was great - I'm so sorry I didn't get the young man's name - and FAST! I'm going back tomorrow and the morning I leave Kona. Thanks, Kohala Coffee!!
