Upon recommendation from our Shaka Guide we stopped by to try some coffee and ended up purchasing a bag. Nice location in a rural setting with plenty of parking, seating and clean restrooms.

Great place to see a coffee farm, get FREE coffee tasting, and buy handcrafted drinks. There are two free coffee farm tours a day at 11am and 1pm. They don't have coffee tours on the weekend though. The gift shop smelled like coffee heaven! There is outside seating to enjoy your drinks, and they have a very clean public restroom. They also have a store in Kona if you just want to get some of their coffee.

We saw the sign after leaving the black sand beach . I thought at first I was getting lost driving through local neighborhoods past Macadamia nut trees . Then out of nowhere I see Kau coffee. It’s not a big place but it s perfect . The employees were so wonderful and helpful almost like we were family. I suggest next time you’re in Hawaii it’s a must .

During our time on the big island, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. We had the opportunity to sample various flavors and indulge in the gift shop. The guy who toured us was very knowledgeable about coffee. Additionally, we explored the property, observing coffee plants at various stages of the harvesting process. For coffee enthusiasts, this visit is a must-see experience.

A beautiful drive back off the road by macadamia nut trees and delicious coffee and espresso! Sampled coffee and it is so good we bought a bag to take home!

Cool that you could walk around the building, into the trees and see coffee drying. Good shop.

Pretty cute coffee place. They have a coffee shop up front for you to buy a cup of coffee or a bag of beans. You can sample the different types they have available before you choose which is nice. They have plenty of sitting area outside that overlooks the orchard. If you would like to walk around instead of sitting, they let you walk around the orchard. They also have free tours at 11 and 1 o'clock if you would like to know more about their process
