If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to make some time and add a stop to get coffee here. The owner is truly a master.

We loved the outdoor seating area too. I almost made a 3.5 hour round trip drive back here for another matcha and I'm already planning out next trip around stopping here again.

Their specialty coffee offerings were expertly prepared without being snooty. Their chocolate lava was the perfect blend of chocolate and spice. Ambiance was nice and cozy for a cold rainy day. Can’t say enough positive things about the place. If you’re on the big island, you need to stop by.
