Big Island Coffee Roasters

Big Island Coffee Roasters in Hilo roasts 100% Hawaiian-grown coffee on-site, and there's a window into the roastery. A live USGS feed of Kīlauea plays on the TV. It's rustic-modern with Hawaiian touches and indoor seating only. The entrance can be hard to find on Google Maps, so keep looking. It can get loud with music and kids, so come early for quiet.

Try the pandan latte, lavender honey latte, Kona latte or s'mores latte. The three-coffee sampler lets you compare Hawaiian origins side by side. For food, there's an açaí bowl and a veggie breakfast burrito, plus li hing mui lemonade. They host community art classes too.
