Was a busy stop when I visited. Samples are self serve, but I wasn't impressed with the flavors.
When I hear of anyone travelling to the Big Island, we always tell them Buddha's Cup is a must see! Not only do they have the best coffee on this planet, but they have teas, chocolate, rum cakes, honey, and more! Do pencil in time to take a tour of the property. It is a magical place to set foot on and is the real Hawaii most never get to see. Their staff is a perfect example of what the true Aloha Spirit is all about. I love visiting with them as much as visiting the property. I can't get a ride home from the airport without Buddha's Cup Coffee in my hand for the people picking us up - everyone I know is now addicted! And for what I can't bring home with me, they ship to the mainland!

We did the ATV tour and the deluxe tasting. Such a good experience! The place had a relaxing atmosphere, and the variety of animals was a pleasant surprise.
Our guide was great. She shared a lot of knowledge about the farm and the coffee process, including both well-honed traditional methods and cool innovations. She made us feel totally at home.
The tasting was really fun too with the pairings, the beautiful view, and the helpful comments from our guide. We had a hard time deciding which coffee was our favorite. Totally recommend these tours!

What a buried treasure! We found their brochure and happened to go — Allison was so friendly and informative- it was such a friendly stop! We had fresh coffee tastings, samples of chocolate beans and rum cake. Even with a room full of customers she made everything feel like a private tour. We left with a bag full of coffee.

Manny gave us a detailed personalized, very knowledgeable tour of the farm. Not only do they grow coffee, with different types at different altitudes, but they also grow oranges, lemons, bananas, guava, avocados, cacao, macadamia nuts, Australian grapes, pumpkins and other various things. The flavor of the coffee is affected by what is growing near it, as well as by how it is processed.
We then had a coffee and tea tasting, served with rum cakes, and chocolate covered coffee beans and macadamia nuts. This was so much more than we expected! We left with a slight buzz, and a shopping bag full of delicious coffee and tea… and some great memories! It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours, relax Hawaii style!

These fine folks do much more than just coffee. The tour covered not just coffee but a ton of other stuff as well. As a Chef, this is one of the best tours I've ever been on.
I love this place so much! I went the other day for a coffee tasting and atv farm tour and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a guest here on the island. Highly recommend if you’re looking for things to do if you’re just traveling. Mahalo to the Buddha coffee fam ???✨

We did the ATV tour and tasting. The ATV tour was so much fun and we learned alot about everything they grow on the farm. Alison was a wonderful host for our tasting, explaining the coffees and teas and pairing it with delicious treats.

If anything makes drinking Kona coffee in the Kona area, Big Island, Hawaii, U.S., it is THIS place. To drink your favourite 100% Kona, you have to meet the owner ans listen to what he has to say about his product. Plus the view point....Coffee heaven on Earth.

We did an adventure tour with Manny and it was absolutely amazing. We picked and ate fresh fruits, nuts, and berries. I highly recommend this as a stop on the big island.

Highly recommend Buddha’s Cup’s ATV experience if you’re seeking an accessible yet exhilarating + informative tour!
We came for this tour when two relatives with limited mobility came to visit - one being wheelchair bound. Our guide was incredibly accommodating and drove up to our car to minimize transfer distance.
The estate itself is a coffee farm AND more. They practice biodynamic farming and the complementary plants crates a really interesting landscape! It’s a productive farm but living environment too.
The VIP tasting was very generous and well worth the time/ money. Three large samples and fun suggested pairings with locally grown/ produced products. I especially liked the chocolate treats made from cacao grown on this farm.
Highly recommend.
Wheelchair accessibility: ATV tours are friendly for some wheelchair bound individuals. The seat is taller than standard wheelchair so the guest will have to be lifted or climb. Once in, all passengers are strapped in for a fun ride.
