Grab a coconut malasada and an avocado toast to go with your ube latte. Perfect for a pre-flight meal especially before a delayed flight. The staff could not be friendlier!

You hear it here, folks! This is by far and away the best coffee on the entire Big Island of Hawaii. We went back three times which is unheard of on my trips because I love trying out new shops every day. The Ube sweet cream cold brew was to die for. Don't miss this place!

HICO Coffee in Kona is a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast! This Hawaiian coffee haven offers an impressive array of expertly crafted drinks that will delight your taste buds. From classic lattes to innovative fusion creations like matcha ube and coffee latte, the menu is a coffee lover's dream come true!

My personal favorite is the ube latte coffee, and it's clear that I'm not the only one - it's a popular order among customers! The rich, smooth flavor of the coffee pairs perfectly with the subtle sweetness of the ube, creating a truly unique and delicious experience.

While the prices may be a bit premium, ranging from $6 to $8 per drink, the quality of the coffee and the expertise that goes into each cup make it well worth the investment. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a special treat, HICO Coffee is a must-visit destination in Kona.

Highlights:

What a cool vibe in this place! We enjoyed the ube matcha , iced tea, iced matcha. They have a wonderful variety of toasts and we had the procuitto fig toast that was delicious. My husband had the wrap and we finished with some chia pudding! Highly recommend you try this cool coffee spot! Great ending to our day at the cloud forest sanctuary which I also highly recommend.
