9 Best Coffee Shops near Pahoa

“Love Kohala Coffee .The staff is freindly and the place like cozy, better than starbucks, as far as atmosphere, also the coffes are really yummy !“

“The new owner's are super nice! I usually get the shaved ice in a cup, which is always sweet and refreshing! Their chicken sandwich is yum too! Rib taco's was mouth watering also! They have tasteful art, that is for sale if inclined to buy, and cookbooks too! We're so glad this happy food place is here!“

“Sometimes the red shoes demon grasps your entrails by the stomach and demands a sacrifice. That sacrifice is invariably your health.

I found myself drawn to the McAlter myself just recently and while my heart was clogged with nostalgia at the smells of hot fries and what looks like sizzling beef, my wallet experienced no such relief.

Interestingly, the food was less greasy than I remember from my childhood. Everything arrived hot and fresh with minimal delay. The few veggies trimming my sandwich seemed crisp and fresh. The waxy American cheese imparted it's mild flavor and generally all was a I remembered. My craving satisfied, the demon relinquished his grasp upon me and remanded his fuzzy red hair and shiny yellow onesie to the ether from which he sprang.

I was impressed by the cold hard efficiency of the kiosk that has replaced the front desk. No longer are the employees distracted by unnecessary interaction with customers. Instead, they can put their heads down and really focus on frying frozen pies and slinging salt at steaming piles of fries as of trying to cast out their own demons.

While I can't in good conscience recommend the place in the framing of any health conscious rhetoric, I also can't say that I won't go back. Perhaps it is a curse, or the allure of a grim purple smile cast from the shadows behind the bench seating, but something always brings me back...“

“Loved the garage sale going on today! Wish there were more like this one. An awesome amount of great vendors too! A fun time and great deals!“

“Great people great coffee“

“Impressive little shop. Every time I visit they have different sandwiches to offer on the menu. Same with the Gelato. There's a great variety to choose from. While they do offer chocolate for people who want to stay safe 😉 They also have unique flavors & sandwiches that I've never had before. So far I've enjoyed everything I've tried. The staff is super sweet & now acknowledges me by name. This shop is exactly what was needed in Keaau & I plan to stop in & try something new wherever I'm in the area. 🍦 🍨 🥪 ❤️ 💙 💜.“

“It was so awesome to be able to grab a coffee here! I miss this place! I wish there was one closer to me! Maybe someday they will return to Kona side! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ oh well, glad I got to stop by and grab one of my favorite coffee’s! Aloha! 🤙🤙🤙🤙“

“Some of the best coffee I've ever tried. Belong to the cuppers club, get two different bags of beans each month from different Hawaiian crops. Excellent, fresh coffee beans. Well worth the money.“
