50 Best Coffee Shops near Kealakekua

1 Captain Cook Trading Co

4.9 Superb 87 Reviews

81-947 Halekii Street, Kealakekua

“Hidden gem on Big Island!! Really good selection, including green coffee beans, and by far the best pricing as well. They also have macadamia nuts, macadamia toffee, coffee chocolate, and cacao! Emmerich and Maggie are happy to chat and teach about the coffee as well as recommending other local spots. Hours are flexible but generally 10a-4p (can call to check as well). It is cash/check only and no ATM on premises. The location on maps is correct, but keep an eye out as the warehouse is shared with a granite company (left side granite company, right side Captain Cook Trading Co). Highly recommend stopping by!”

“Best coffee ever! I have been drinking it for many years, and every time I share it with somebody I never even offer them cream or sugar, which would be totally superfluous, and they all have drunk it down with great enjoyment, calling it the best coffee in the world. I have to agree. Bob and Mae and Brian and Amy are the best. You can definitely taste the love in their coffee.”

Molly was our guide and she was friendly, personable, and extremely knowledgeable on all things coffee! We got three half-flights and enjoyed stunning views while we savored some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

“This is a very cute little coffee trailer. They have some unique flavors and also offer locally sourced coffee as an option. I got the brown butter miso syrup added to my latte. It doesn’t sound like something I would ever think to add but was surprisingly delicious. The flavor is complex and creamy. My wife got the vanilla bean latte. It was also amazing and has real vanilla beans. I highly recommend this place. When parking look for the lot on the Mauka (mountain) side of the road not the Makai (ocean side). There was plenty of parking but I didn’t see it at first and tried to park on the edge of the road.”

“Having breakfast here was an amazing experience. The food was fresh and delicious especially the pickles. Everything was made in house. The focaccia was tasty and soft with the right amount of crisp. We ordered via the kiosk for convenience but apparently that was for take out orders so unfortunately we were not able to get our parking validated after we consumed our meals in house. Tip: order by the cashier and ask for parking validation as soon as you cash if dining in, otherwise parking would be $8.99.”

“My boyfriend and I had a lovely cup of coffee here! They have coffee ice cubes, which prevented my coffee from getting watered down (which I hate). I’ve never had this anywhere else on-island! That’s my favorite part about my coffee here. My boyfriend got the cold brew, which actually tasted like cold brew and not just cold coffee, which is common from other coffee shops. The cold brew was smooth and not as bitter as the espresso. I like my coffee strong, but sweet and milky, and I got the White Wash. It was a perfect blend of all those things. The cashier was very pleasant and personable, and the atmosphere was very cute! Clean aesthetic with live plants that looked well-cared for. Overall I had a great experience, and I was surprised it wasn’t more busy. I think it was because the location isn’t the most ideal. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

This is the first time that I have ever been able to drink coffee let alone really enjoy it. The friendly staff explained how the volcanic soil and the timing of picking the bean changed the acidity in the coffee. Since being home, I’ve already placed an order and I am enjoying my coffee every morning. Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing drink!”

We received a warm "aloha" with a shaka sign. The espresso shot had a great flavor and we would stop by again. They offer to make any drink iced or hot. Affordable espresso prices and coffee prices as well.”

Green Turtle coffee is just as good as what I was drinking on my trip, and much easier to buy. The owner, Linda Murphy, responds promptly to email questions, and the 2 pounds I bought from Green Turtle came to my house in less than a week. I will buy more Kona coffee from Green Turtle when I run out. R. Harris”

“We stayed at the Marriott and swung in to the coffee shop for breakfast. The drinks were perfect - latte had a nice layer of foam, and a heart to boot. The Ube cold brew was unexpectedly delicious - easy to see why it's a staff pick! We tried two different croffles and honestly I dont know why people make real waffles anymore, when they can have one of these instead. The waffle was PERFECTION, layered and crispy and buttery and chewy in the best ways. I ordered the garlic bread grilled cheese and would eat it every day if I had the chance. The chips were nicely seasoned too! Breakfast sandwich was eaten too fast by my husband to take a picture, but I heard it was good. 2 drinks, 2 croffles, grilled cheese and a breakfast sandwich was $58 before tip. Definitely reasonable considering island pricing (I actually think I pay more for a large latte in Minnesota than we paid here!) 11/10 would recommend - we'll probably go back for breakfast tomorrow!”

“Island Corner Cafe easily earns five stars from me! I came here for breakfast twice during my stay, and both meals were great. On my first visit, I got the breakfast croissant and it was delicious. The next day, I decided to try one of their hot sandwiches, and it was also very good—the focaccia bread was nice and fluffy, and the turkey and veggies were cooked perfectly. The tomato bisque soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but everything else hit the spot. My friend had the coffee and mentioned that it was pretty good as well! The service here is fast, efficient, and super friendly. On the inside, the vibe is very modern, clean, and uncomplicated—an easy, no-frills spot that delivers great food quickly. I’ll definitely be stopping by again next time I'm in the area!”
