“ As an Australian holidaying in the US, I'm always on the lookout for good coffee. We rocked up in a van with 9 people, all with different orders. The team turned our orders around really fast and everyone in the van (all of us Australians) were really impressed with the service and most importantly the quality of the coffee!! Highly recommend, if i ever come back, I would make the drive out to get coffee here again! ”
“ Why go to Starbucks when you can support local! This cute local drive thru coffee shop is local and mama owned! Always filled with friendly service and care! ”
“ Country Grounds Coffee Company. This little shack is located as you enter Waimea from the Hilo direction. Its a small converted trailer. My brother, sister and nieces each got a drink to sample what we could on the menu. I got an iced caramel milkcchiatto, brother a ice americano, sister something crazy lol and nieces had their hot chocolates “frozen” Its nice they were willing to make an item not on the menu for our girls. My coffee was great, perfect amount of sweetness and the roast was on point. Both the coffee flavor and Carmel shined through. Another big bonus is its a drive thru operation which makes it easy if you have kids or if its raining. If you’re in the area i suggest checking them out, esp if you’re headed into Hilo as there aren’t much options after them. *EDIT: after more consideration I’ve changed my review to 5 stars. And still highly recommend stopping by ”
“ Found this coffee shop by accident and we are SO glad we did. The menu had lots of options, everything from your basic cup of coffee (which my husband got) to the chocolate mocha with strawberry cold foam (which I got). We both agree that this was our favorite coffee of the coffee places we've been to (Big Island, Maui, and Kauai). The service was quick and friendly, and the chocolate covered beans with each drink was a welcomed treat. I'll be dreaming of this coffee for a while! ”
“ Sweet little drive through ft coffee, lattes, and malasadas. Best malasadas I had on my BI trip ”
“ Our new favorite Waimea coffee house! The baristas were so lovely and helpful, giving recommendations for coffee that we both loved. I got the ube frappe and my fiance got the kona country coffee. The ube frappe was so unique and delicious, like nothing I've had before. Can't wait to come back! ”
“ Just heard about this place, so we decided to give it a try, as we were going to be driving right past it. It is drive thru only.. and the line was long. However, the lattes were absolutely delicious. They come topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean sitting on the lid ! ”
“ Ordered the ube shake and cold brew with Mac nut syrup. The cold brew did not disappoint and the shake was good as well. Highly recommend stopping by on your way from Hilo side to Kona side. ”
