It's a Kava bar. The quality of the product itself is quite good, but Kava also comes with a open minded(and open mouthed! culture. Your experience may vary, but I've greatly enjoyed my experiences there.

GO HERE FOR SHAVE ICE. We were searching for some in the area and were told to go to Anuenue so we were headed that way, but stopped for coffee at the place next door. My husband happened to see this place and we were stoked. It’s the most flavorful shave ice I’ve ever had. And they use real fruit to flavor the ice. It’s not bright and toxic colors... it actually feels like a healthy refreshing treat. We of course got the ice cream at the bottom and t was just perfection. We even tried the other company later and even my 2 and 4 year old agreed that the first one we had was way better. So kuddos. Kava kafe—people searching google maps for shave ice will not find you. You should fix that. Because you guys deserve to have lines out the door for it.

I had my first cup of awa there on Valentine's Day! The atmosphere is fantastic if you're looking to engage with genuine people and enjoy local conversations. We'll definitely be back soon!

I had a fantastic experience with delicious ice cream! Hawi is a charming little town where the spirit of Aloha truly shines. The ice cream is perfect for an afternoon treat after spending the day at the stunning black sand beach in Pololu Valley, just a short drive away. We visited this place last year and enjoyed the same wonderful experience!

The kava resulted in the desired mild euphoria, and passing numbness. Super bland tasting but that was expected. I think $5 is reasonable for a huge coconut full of kava. They also have chocolates and ice cream that I didn't try. Cash only! Theres an ATM in the Coffee store next door tho.
