26 Best Coffee Shops in Hilo

“Hilo iced coffee was one of our favorites places to grab coffee when in Hilo. We drove all the way from pepeekeo every day so we could have all those amazing options. My hubby and I each got a coffee and a matcha to share. We made sure we tried something different every time, usually staff recommended, just to see what were a “go” or a “no.” Honestly, every thing we ordered exceeded our expectations. “Honey girl” was a clear winner for us, the mix of Mac nut milk and honey, chef’s kiss- 10/10. And if you’re not feeling something too sweet, their namesake “Hilo iced coffee” hit the spot- 9/10. We also tried their black sesame coffee and matcha, both were 10/10. We had the chance to also try the strawberry matcha and while I can see the hype for strawberry matches are real, the strawberry Puree was a wee too sweet for us, still very good- 8/10. We will be sure to stop by every time we go Hilo!“

“The chef welcomes you and personally comes to your table to tell you about the food and menu of the day. Then you you see him and his assistant prepare your food in a tiny cooking area behind the counter. A more personal experience you cannot find besides having a personal chef. We showed up without a reservation, got lucky getting a table, and came back in about an hour for a spot at one of only 3 tables in the whole place. And for the quality, presentation, and value of the food you cannot find a better dining experience in Hilo or anywhere else. It was great food.“

“I only drink light roast coffee. I was excited to find this Starbucks in Safeway along the main road. The gal working was delightful.
I was surprised my Starbucks app payment would not work and the system would not allow me to tip.
The Barista was so delightful I made a purchase in Safeway so that I could get funds to tip her!
Thanks for light roast coffee!“

“Such a great place, Loved the Kava there and staff was very friendly!“

“I really enjoyed stopping by here for a refreshing drink! The variety they offer is fantastic, and everything tasted super fresh and high quality. It’s a great spot to grab a tea or a quick snack if you’re looking for something different and delicious. The service was quick and friendly, making it a perfect little break during the day. I’m definitely looking forward to trying more of their menu next time I’m nearby.“

“First, food is excellent! They do a very nice job, make it fresh and the place is very cool...right next to two other food counters, also right around the corner from the market. One is Thai, very good as well and another acai bowl place which we also love. I took a star because of the hours, twice now we have gone wanting this and they are closed?? Both times were within what they say open on here, but nothing there but a closed sign, frustrating because we love the food.“
