Reviews of Ka Lae Coffee (Coffee Shop)

Edmund Cotta

Greatest coffee and treats in South Point Naalehu area. It's way better than Starbucks will ever be. Wonderful staff and service. I come here often.

Timothy Cooper

I can only comment on one aspect. It's a beautiful little stop on the way to or back from South Point, don't get me wrong, but for me I had the liquid fire that is Gingeraide here and it was amazing. Not for the faint of heart, but if you want a real pick-me-up that doesn't pull punches, get some. It's amazing!

Annette Tyler

There is a huge selection of orchids. People are real nice. The signage for prove and what is and not for sale needs to be better.

D Gibbs

A lovely, little eclectic coffee shop with interesting locals and beautiful green houses! Sit and spend time! No rush!!!

Pavel Lurie

Nice place in the middle of the road. Trees farms and nice service

Moses Whitcomb

Great coffee great spot good free WiFi to get some work done

Katherine McCusker

A great stop on your way to or from the Southernmost Point. The cafe has a variety of delicious drinks, including their detoxifying charcoal latte. Enjoy your drink while you relax and sit or wander through their orchid greenhouse.

Noah Farris

My wife and I stopped in here after visiting South point and were blown away not only by the coffee but by the atmosphere. It was very peaceful and we had it all to ourselves. Not only that it was a perfect indoor outdoor combination. Stop by this place if you're visiting South point!

Kristine Westland

This is a beautiful place to grab a really great coffee and bite to eat. Very friendly staff, lots of aloha down here. Would highly recommend stopping in if you are in the South Point area! I ordered the coffee that they use from Navarro Farm and had it shipped back home to the mainland - it is worth every penny for that smooth, dark, American Roast!

Suzana Sumire

I love it. XD adorei. O café é ótimo. O lugar é lindo. Se for de Hilo pra Kona de carro, tem que passar aqui. <3

Cordula FoxyBrown

Gorgeous place, wonderful staff, delicious coffee, cakes and smoothies!! Must stop by for a peaceful rest after a day at the beach.

Kirsten Farris

Amazing coffee and the atmosphere matches! My husband and I sipped on our coffee and had a peaceful quiet moment to ourselves in the little barn. We will be coming back before we leave!

기대하고 찾아간 곳이 아니었으나 너무 예쁘고 커피맛도 좋았다. south point 쪽을 지나갈 일이 있다면 강추! "ka lae" 는 현지말로 south라는 뜻 ㅎ

Squatchy Coffee Talk

Great coffee, friendly environment, and quiet place to enjoy local beans.

Nicole Elin Antoine

Such a nice coffee spot to visit...whomever does the succulents and plants is very knowledgeable! Beautiful design...they were closing so I didn't get to shop that much and they didn't know much about the product I was interested in, but Im giving them a break because it was the end of the day. Mahalo!

Eric Roos

Super adorable, friendly staff. Worth stopping back from beaches.

The Word became flesh

Greatest coffee spot in the state! Really really nice place, it’s farm like with flowers everywhere, reminds me of the farms of California with the tropical plants of Hawaii, fresh breeze in the morning, really a peaceful place. Great tasting lattes.

Taby Seebart

If i could give more stars, I would. The atmosphere is beyond amazing! The baristas are knowledgeable and seem to love their job! Get your drink and walk through the amazing property viewing the most amazing flowers. A great start to any day on the Island!

J Gorne

Beautiful spot to sit down and relax. Tons of flowers to see/buy. Little shop of island merch, soaps, honey, etc. Espresso brownie was tasty and a decent selection of brews (tea, coffee). Great stop on the way to Volcano or Hilo!

Marta Millard

Perfect cold drink....lovely orchid greenhouses too!

Kaitlyn Fogarty

One of the best coffees I’ve ever had!! I ordered an ice latte and added vanilla flavoring. The lady behind the counter was extremely nice and helpful. The restroom was clean and it’s a super cute environment to be in while you enjoy your coffee, snack, juice or just want to look around.

Ray Ingram

Always a great stop before visiting South Point.

Felix Ouellette

Excellent coffee and mango smoothies!

patrick low

It s just meant to be a quick stop from Papakōlea Beach but it turned out we spent a little over an hour savoring the coffee and the mango shake out side at the farm. Watched the butterflies and the felt the calmness and the cool breeze and trulyt, truly enjoyed the sun bathed patio. Love the place!!

Rachael Ferrera

Lovely spot to stop on your way to South Point. Beautiful gardens, room for your kids to play and a greenhouse to enjoy.

Debbie Gall

I have been to this coffe and Orchid farm each time I visit the Island. My all time favorite. Great smoothies, snacks and the like. The flowers are just beautiful and so are the grounds of this beautiful place. I could just sit in her outside garden all day and enjoy the feeling of Hawaii

Haydar Celik

Very nice surprise. Coffee was very good.

Toby Shaner

Good variety of specially coffee and shakes nice atmosphere

Sarah Skye McNees

A real gem. Absolutely beautiful flowers and great ambiance.

Luis

The Taro milkshake is one of the best things I've tasted here.

Mel Bail

Best cafe and best coffee (that I've tasted) on the island. The space is very unique. The staff and service is amazing. But seriously, their coffee is damn good. We enjoyed an Americano. The owner created their own unique blend with beans from various farmers in the area. As well, a cafe that sells decent baked good! Delicious!!! A MUST stop on the way to the south point.

Yewon Shankin

Beautiful coffee shop with lovely outdoor seating and very friendly owners. I heard someone order pour over too which did not seem common on the Big Island! Didn't get a chance to try it, but their drip coffee and iced lattes were good. Great place to take a minute and hang out :)

Matveh Panya

The person who helped us seemed like she was a little burned out on customer service, and they were out of the vegan baked goods. Coffee was pretty good.

Ranga Sivakumar

Its ok

junbum kwon

(Translated by Google) Quiet country secluded place without floating! I jyeoteum little envious of their life. Ice americano. Iced chocolate latte is also really delicious (Original) 조용한 시골 한적한 곳에 뜬금없이! 이들의 삶이 살짝 부러워졌음요. 아이스아메리카노. 아이스초코라떼도 정말 맛있었네요

David Blake

Nice people, cozy colorful atmosphere, cool bathroom, orchid magic, excellent coffee. I will not pass without stopping.

Corinne Wells

Beautiful gardens, excellent coffee, tasty treats, great facility, friendly employees. I look forward to coming here!

Sid Nelson

I didn't try coffee, but it looked popular for that and baked good snacks. Real reason to go is to see this fabulous working orchid farm, and wander through the aisles and aisles of exquisite orchids of all variety.

Noah Zeiler

Great coffee. Nice staff.

h. ann

Wonderful cafe with a great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the Garde around is relaxing. There is a small playground for kids and lots of flowers. Paradise to relax with a nice coffee, latte, tea or whatever.

Robert Ellwein

Awesome place. Nice to sit in the patio and enjoy your coffee

Jeffrey Stajich

What a wonderful outdoor patio, repleat with flowers and colorful birds, to have a GREAT cappuccino. Delicious pastries, amazing orchid nursery.

Steffi Hardung

Die Lage ist perfekt, etwas abseits der Straße. Inmitten von Bäumen, Orchideen und Blumen. Wenn man sich aus der großen Auswahl an Kaffee usw. etwas ausgesucht hat, ist es wunderbar entspannend im Garten zu sitzen und Getränke und Cookie etc zu genießen.

N K

best cafe i ve ever seen!!!

Cynthia Patterson

What a beautiful refuge with great coffee and excellent mac nut coffee cakes. The staff here is very nice!

Bob & Helen McCullough

Really cool stop. Clean and friendly people . Graeat coffee and all the extras.

Amanda Fletcher

Love stopping at this place. The people are amazing and the coffee is good and so are the organic smoothies! The greenhouse filled with many varieties of orchids and the sitting areas are so nice and relaxing. Every time we make our way through that part of town we stop in.

Angela Thornburgh

Lovely coffee, cookies, and conversation. We did not try other items but everything looked nice. The orchids and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Absolutely worth a stop.

Meghan Nelson

Coffee shop in paradise

Maria Reynolds

Stopped into this hidden gem of a cafe on the way up to Kona from South Point. It was so aesthetically beautiful with their seating, succulents and farmhouse feel. My hubby and I were just planning to grab a coffee (which had been the best brewed coffee of our trip) but ended up staying as it was really quite inviting.

Matthew von der Ahe

Delicious espresso prepared by a skilled and experienced barista. Probably the best coffee we've had on The Big Island. Serene, beautiful, shady grounds and greenhouses for strolling. A great stop after a gorgeous but hot and sand-blown walk to and from Papakolea (Green Sand) Beach

Caroline Dutra

Nice area to rest but the brewed coffee is not fresh. And I wish one day coffee places like this one will use porcelain cups and not disposable cups with plastic lids.

Yolanda Morales

Super nice people beautiful place

Rachel Grenier

Likely the best coffee on the island in a stunning setting. Great stop on the way to or from South Point, or a short detour off the highway if you're just passing through the area.

Matthew Grund

Fantastic location. A nice cafe with good coffee and baked goods. If there is any beef jerky available here, you must try it! Some of the best around.

Kristie Bento

Awesome place for a good cup of tea. Gluten free options, amazing staff. Fun crowd. Great prices. Excellent food. I love this place!

Arthur Frederick Kennedy

Delightful... This place is THE gathering place for the community. Every day when I stop by for my morning latte, I get to connect with my friends and meet new ones. They have yoga classes three or four times a week in the greenhouse. The orchid farm is a treat of its own. The coffee, as far as I know, is local Ka'u coffee, the best in the world. The place looks like a garden paradise. And it is easy to find on the way to South Point.

Lova Olsson

Very cute place with super good pastries!

Patricia Swinson

Cute drink bar to relax and enjoy your stay.

Daphne Smith

Love this cafe, I mostly come for the ginger soda, but enjoy other food and drinks too. They also have plants and great handicrafted gifts.

Jayne Kainulainen

This place has a great many orchids to purchase and look at. Nice coffee shop that sells sandwiches,sweets, and some local honeys and lotions. The landscaping around the place is gorgeous! So many wonderful displays of succulants and tropicals. The person working there was very helpful and informative. All around pleasant visit.

Jason Dohrmann

Have been in the Hawaiian island for 3 weeks and this is the best coffee I have had here!! Beautiful place.

Stephen Zilch

Lovely rustic cafe. I stopped for a latte on my way to volcano it was fantastic. They have cute succulents and an amazing atmosphere. You have to try the macnut tart it was delicious.

Kurt Thorner

My idea of paradise on an island known for this feeling. A beautiful tree lined lane leads to a quiet garden terrace to enjoy some fine local Kona coffee, organic smoothies and home baked treats. Fast friendly service, friendly island residents and cool breezes. I could have stayed all afternoon.

Ron Melster

Very friendly people. Excellent coffee!

Heather Hutchison

Was questioning this place a little bit when we pulled in and saw a house but it was actually behind the house! This place felt like Pinterest Heaven to me, it all looked so cute! Definitely a hidden gem

Really really good iced coffee and hibiscus lime tea. My boyfriend and I were both surprised by how tasty they both were. Seriously. Starbucks ain't got nothing over this place! Not to mention all of the beautiful orchids to see and smell(: They also have a couch and tables for the fellow study bugs or worker bees(;

Miranda O

Tasty coffee and shakes in a pretty garden setting, and you can walk through the orchid greenhouse.

Abigail Stokes

This is a great coffee shop on a beautiful piece of land. As you wait for your coffee, you can stroll through the orchid nursery, and there's a nice barn to sit and enjoy your beverage in. The prices are a bit high, but that's pretty normal for Hawaii.

Wendy Johnson

Best coffee! Beautiful atmosphere!

Kevin Johnson

Great coffee and nice patio!!

Jay

This is a delightful little place to stop at on your way to or from South Point. The store is actually about 1,000 ft up the driveway, so you'll obviously be unable to see it from the road. Everyone in my group that had a coffee item were very happy with their choices, and the food items were good as well. Pricing is also very reasonable, especially for the big island. Outdoor covered seating is available.
