Hilo Coffee Mill

I spontaneously popped into this shop today, and the aroma of freshly roasted beans was like heaven! I got a drip coffee and it was truly one of the best cups I've ever had. I was told that they were using locally grown beans from Ka'u and Puna. This coffee was incredibly smooth with delicate caramel undertones. Aside from packages of coffee, some earrings, and hand crafted coffee soap, there wasn't anything else in the shop. However, the girls were delightful and fun to talk story with. There was also a pretty sitting area on the lanai. I highly recommend that you stop in and experience a truly exquisite cup of joe!

We’re from Seattle so we were excited to check out local coffee options. Hilo Coffee Mill did not disappoint! Karina and Rachel took time to welcome us. The hospitality and conversation were amazing. They offered us a taste the brew of the day (YUM!), and they explained the nuances of the different roasts for sale. You KNOW we bought several to take home with us. Thank you Hilo Coffee Mill for the exceptional welcome and superior cup of coffee.

First off, the coffee is really great! The ice cream is also yummy with a shot of espresso, and drizzled with chocolate! Our to go lunch, which was a Tuna sandwich and the pork wrap, they both were prepared by Sadia, she gave us excellent service with a big smile!

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful farm tour with Jeanette, the owner. She explained to us the entire coffee making process and showed us their roasting facilities. Next, we went out to. The farm and saw the drying room and trees. We got to sample some of the wild fruit and even a coffee cherry. We finished off trying a couple of their roast! Things to note are it appears the website doesn't send everyone their confirmation email after purchasing a tour. In addition, you will be on a farm and in an area that gets a lot of rain so best to wear closed toe shoes and potentially long pants. The store will shop you coffee beans so you don't need to worry about over filling your luggage. Lastly, there are chickens running around. Overall it was a wonderful tour and we wish we could have

This is a must stop for coffee lovers. I'm a big coffee connoisseur, always seeking out the best coffee, having different coffee shipped to me from around the world. But the coffee I got here, from Ka au was one of the best coffees I've ever had! Mary who runs place is awesome and knows her stuff.
