Perfect place in Waialua to get a great cup of Hawaiian coffee. The staff is always pleasant and besides great coffee and smoothies, they have a little bit of everything a tourist could be looking for. Quaint little shop.
Kid-friendliness: There’s a cute area for the keiki while the parents shop.
Wheelchair accessibility: Owner is in a wheelchair. Definitely wheel friendly.

What an experience! Didn't expect to see a full coffee processing mill with free samples, but they gave it all. Had a great conversation with the owner. Love what they're doing and would highly recommend visiting for any coffee enthusiast. Only place on Oahu I found where you can buy green coffee beans too.

One of the best places on the island! Free samples of chocolate, coffee, and sugar. Brought a funny t-shirt, hawaiian honey, and shave ice. The shave ice was huge and you can pick up to three favors for $4.75.
They have the best chocolate and coffee in the world!

In the center of Waialua, on the site of a former sugar factory, there is a surf shop, a surfboard factory (PYZEL!), a soap factory, and Island X Hawaii at the far end.First of all, you can buy pure Oahu Waialua coffee beans here. Even on Oahu, Kona and Kauai coffee are the main ones.It's hard to buy pure Oahu beans, but here you can buy pure Oahu coffee. That's why my family buys coffee here as a souvenir (for myself).You can taste it, and if you like it, you can buy it. Some of the staff can speak Japanese, so if English is difficult, it might be a good idea to find someone who can speak Japanese. So, just before the coronavirus pandemic, he said, "I'm going to work at an airport counter. I wonder what happened after that...".Beans can be purchased including raw beans. There are several types of beans, depending on how they are washed, how they are roasted, and the shape of the beans (peaberry).There is also chocolate (this is also super delicious!). Cacao is also grown here. If the time is right, you can see the process of fermenting cacao beans! It seems that vinegar is used to ferment cacao, and it has a strong smell...Be careful if you don't like strong smells lolReturning to the topic of coffee, Waialua coffee has a different taste and acidity depending on how it is roasted, washed, and dried, but overall it has a fairly clean taste and no off-flavours.I like it so much that I personally want to import it and drink it all the time in Japan.As I wrote earlier, this is one of the few shops where 100% Oahu beans return. It's perfect for Oahu souvenirs, so come on!(The store also sells various souvenirs, so please check it out!)

This was such a cool little place! We were on our way back driving from The Dole Plantation (aka tourist trap) and stumbled upon a sign leading to this store. As we were looking around, Reba approached us and asked if we wanted a tour of the coffee and chocolate estate. We saw staff sorting beans and washing beans, the holding containers, press containers, etc. Not knowing what we were going to see, it was very authentic and Reba told us everything there is to know of the coffee and chocolate process and history. This was the real deal. We were even offered various samples of coffees and chocolate! This is definitely a must see! Reba even recommended a few local places to see and eat and they were delicious! I'm so glad we stopped.You will find lots of souvenirs, coffee, chocolate, novelty items and more. There are also other locally owned and operated shops in that same area.They do have shaved ice here and I hear it is the best around. We didn't have any only because we had coffee and chocolate samples from our tour. Shop local!

You can sample Oahu coffee in the store before shopping, and you can also take a tour of the process from raw beans to products.
I tried harder to make our relationship work out, but my husband didn't seem to care. and he broke up with me. I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather i got in contact with OJO , He did a love charm that made my husband come back to me, We are now very much happy with ourselves.OJO makes him realize how much we love and need each other, This man is for REAL and for good. He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. His Facebook page :

There is a place for kids to play while you shop and take the tour for the coffee and its process. Everyone is nice here :)

This place is spectacular. First, it is set up in an Old Sugar Mill ( in addition to other surrounding businesses) but has a quirky tourist appeal with Hawaiian items. It is impressive that Wailua Coffee is grown, and hulled next door. They buy it and you can see them roasting it in a big machine set up art the front of the store. * Sidenote- this process does not smell as good as coffee being brewed. I get espresso here and enjoy them. My favorite is the shave ice- their natural pineapple is the best shave ice on Oahu and I have been to ALL the shave ice stores- the natural dragon fruit and banana are choice as well. Bill, the owner is often around and give you the run down himself if approached, very cool guy. I go at least once a week for espresso /shave ice; sometimes two. Aloha and Adios
