Cute little cafe on the drive to/from Pololu Valley. High quality and great value. We had an amazing sandwhich and good coffee.They have a nice area out back to sit and enjoy your food/coffee in peace and quiet. They do have a restroom on site.

High quality food & coffee. Outdoor seating area is huge with Tropical Plants & Palm Trees. Local establishment with local vibes. Priced less than local competitors with same or better quality. Wide selection for breakfast & lunch. We live on Big Island and always stop here for coffee and bagels.

I ate here yesterday and the coffee was amazing! This little unassuming cafe had a great sitting area in the back that was clean and very tropical.I had a ham panini and my husband had a bacon panini. Not only was everything amazingly hot when it arrived at our table it was fresh and to our table in minutes.Totally worth the mile or 2 drive from Hawi. And the SUPER nice thing is we had the place to ourselves and didn’t have to deal with the crowded place down the road that was standing room only.Check them out, food was great and it wasn’t crowded. Cute stores in the building and next doo.

Such a great little café!! Their menu is so diversified that you can’t go wrong with anything on there. The food is great and the outdoor seating has such beautiful views of the plant life that it honestly feels like you’re in paradise. My family and I probably ate here 4 or 5 times during our vacation. Food wise, I’d highly recommend trying the bagel with lox, the chai latte, and/or the lilikoi iced tea!

Tiny Cafe for coffee, I got a lilikoi frosty which was delicious!Did not feel appealed to fresh baked goods unless they were already wrapped .They have a shop for more of their items which is right next to them which was cool to look through, that side of the shopped seemed a bit more welcoming.Li hing mui gummy bears are so soft !A tad pricy but so good.Parking: There's maybe 3-4 street parking spots directly infront of establishment, otherwise there's other parking around!

Amazing Cafe! Just had a wonderful breakfast here. Great selection of food and drinks. We got turkey panini, breakfast sandwich, and an ice latte. Everything was perfect, just what we need to start the day.

Note: closed at 2- but luckily we happened upon it at 1!! I had mochi for the first time - loved it. You step into a small room but…lo snd behold…you can exit into a charming breezeway. Restrooms are in a little separate structure (straight back, then left)Put MOCHI on the list of food! I couldn’t find it again other places.

We stopped here for a coffee break until Pololu and then stopped again after hiking for a lilikoi frosty. The shop is cute with some seating out back, and the town has some nice shops to check out!

What a lovely place! Great coffee and sitting. Early morning crowds seem all local, which is an excellent sign for a good place for coffee and food 😊.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! AND GO GIRLS!!!We are visiting the big island for the first time and are attempting to go around the entire island! Stopped at a beautiful beach and then needed to get some coffee and breakfast! This is a must stop for coffee, their signature iced tea, and baked goods. Definitely must have one of their light and fluffy homemade and made every day cinnamon rolls. And their cinnamon coffee cake…WOW!!!! The gals that work here are so fun and sweet! And be sure to stop next door at their adjoining gift shop for locally made items from the sweet & sassy Priscilla! Love you all!!!

Really good coffee! Yummy fruit juices! Delicious breakfast sandwiches, too! They have a lovely garden patio area out back among trees, flowers, and happy birds. It’s also covered just in case it rains.

I would give this place a six star rating if I could. Delicious food, great ambience, owned by a local business, what's not to like here? I recommend this place 100%. Cherry on the top: hey have a few vegetarian options on the menu too!I must also add: everything on the menu is very nominally priced!

Got a macadamia nut milk latte and a very veggie sandwich. Everything was great, especially the service and the vibes. The outdoor seating area is open and beautiful. I walked from Hawi to get espresso today, and it was worth it.

I have rated many restaurants 5 stars on this vacation so I am not overly negative. This place was terrible. The second star is just for the lovely patio. Too bad the food doesn’t live up. The breakfast sandwiches look and taste like Costco ingredients slapped together, the cinnamon roll was so boring, and the cappuccino not great. The staff was just ok, not overly helpful. I don’t understand all the 5 star ratings, I heard there are new owners, perhaps the 5 stars are for the previous. Given the location on the road to Pololu, they should do better. This is strip mall food in paradise.
