Hilo Coffee Mill

The coffee here is delicious and unique and if you can, I highly recommend booking a tour with Jeanette. We had a fantastic tour that was educational, interactive, and extremely personable at a very relaxed pace. All of the staff here were friendly and engaging. Our time here will certainly be one of the highlights of our vacation here. Thank you! 🙏

We had an incredible tour of the coffee farm with the HCM staff! Chelsea, Rachel, and Lilo were super enthusiastic and friendly. They led us around the beautiful farm to see the coffee trees. We were also joined by the coffee farmers Tom and Tim, who shared their expert knowledge of the farm. We learned about the coffee production process, and got to see and taste ripe coffee cherries, as well as a number of other fresh farm fruits. The tour ended with a sampling of the coffees produced on the farm. The flavored coffees are divine, especially the pineapple coffee! Hilo Coffee Mill staff no ka 'oi!

The Hilo Coffee Mill tour is a must-do if you're staying on the big island. The coffee farm itself is on 24 acres, but has a quiet and calm feel to it - not at all crowded and everyone is incredibly friendly. The tour was just Jeanette (the owner), my husband, and myself. She showed us the roasting room, the drying area, the coffee plants, and some special stops along the way. At the end, you get an opportunity to taste test some different coffees in their store, where they also have a full cafe set up if you'd prefer to just grab a cup and go. We ended up buying several bags to take home as well, which they were nice enough to ship! Jeanette's passion for coffee is evident in what she does, and she goes above and beyond to provide you with a great experience!
