Everything here is 5 stars. Aesthetics, drinks, food and service. My friends and I ordered the banana donut, Ube lattes, loaded musubis, Ube coconut donuts. Wow everything was delicious. A must go if you love coffee. This place was packed when I went early in the morning. Noise level it gets load as the tables start to fill up. If you’re looking for a quiet place HiCO may not be it. Parking is easy to find with street and parking in the back. Theres a nice variety of snacks and drinks to choose from. Prices are a bit high.

Visited the Big Island this summer and HiCo was near the top of our list of places to visit. Super bougie in the best of ways, the vibe was modern and eats tummy. During our 10-day stay, we visited far too many times, if that is possible. The staff was always friendly, the ube lattes were consistent (And no, we tried no other drinks), and the food was excellent.

Get there early if you want a seat as both outdoor and indoor seating was often full. I ended up working there a bit as well and the wifi is solid.

GENERAL NOTE TO DEMANDING TOURISTS: If you are going to be impatient, please go to the beach until you can breathe a bit or go somewhere less local. Do us all a favor, and keep the snide comments and complaints to yourself 'cause locals have enough crappy environmental and cultural tourist impact to deal with as it is. Staff at so many places are overworked and struggling, so the last thing they need are ugly tourists being, well, ugly.

Had their ube latte. The coffee was great, but the drink was missing the ube flavor I was hoping for.

Took my Scottish friends to hico......amazing vibe, amazi g coffee and a just an all round fun place to hang out and people watch

We found Hico coffee while we were killing time before a Dive. Coffee was amazing. Gorgeous outdoor patio. Nice staff.
