5 Best Coffee Shops in Honokaa

“This farm-to-cup coffee shop is amazing. The owners grow their own coffee and other ingredients. The care and craft that goes into the final product is remarkable. They have outside seating to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee. Highly recommend it!“

“If you love tea and have any interest in how this ancient and magical treat is produced, a visit to this farm is highly recommended. We met with a very knowledgable tea expert and agriculturalist who took us on a little journey through the plantation where we learned about tea's ancient history, and its modern iteration in the foothills of Hawaii's majestic Mauna Kea - one of the very few spots in the US where tea is being commercially produced. We enjoyed the intimate Japanese tea ceremony as it became a meditative experience where we were really able to simply focus on the sights and sounds of the beautiful tea house situated on this idyllic farm, the sounds of the tea being prepared in the old fashioned way, and relish at sipping some of the most delicious and complex varieties of green and black teas that were harvested just a few yards away. This would be a great visit for local Hawaiians as well as for visitors to the island. For us, it was certainly a highlight of our visit to Hawaii and, as dramatic as is may sound, a day we will recall every time I will drink a cup of tea. Tip: I believe reservations are required. I highly recommend their Orthodox Black Tea which can be purchased on site, in some stores and can also be shipped.“
