Big Island Coffee Roasters is super cute!Got out of my car and could immediately smell them roasting beans. 🔥
The team is super friendly and was a pleasure to talk with. Love meeting other people who love their job and it shows in their work.
The coffee was also fantastic! Excited to come back and try each of the roasts 🥳

I could see the bluish smoke and smell the coffee roasting before I even got out of my car! Then, it was so nice to step out of the Hilo rain and into this brightly lit, nicely decorated, bustling little cafe. Inside there was upbeat music playing and a friendly staff to warmly greet me. I got the Salted Honu Mocha Latte which was amazing. Really the best cup of coffee I'd had in years. Bold, rich and chocolatey, much higher quality than Starbucks. They even had a window that allowed me to peer into the room next door and watch the roasting process. The one criticism would be that the only food they offer is a couple types of pastries, so don't come here hungry.

I’ve been a member of their coffee club for several years, and have been dying to finally visit the cafe! My wife had a latte (excellent), I had the Hawaiian pour over which was the barrel-aged Ka’u. I’ve made this at home before, but this one was a religious experience! Beautiful rum aroma and taste, an exquisite cup of coffee. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Nice coffee and very friendly staff. Many types of roasted coffee. All about coffee is here. Highly recommended.
Hot menus look better when use latte art to serve it.

I ordered a vanilla latte (Hot) from here. It was very smooth and the vanilla was delicious! The staff were very warm and welcoming. I had hoped to stop by again during my vacation but couldn’t find the time. Would visit again if I am in the area.

Stopped here while passing through Hilo and the coffee was really good. I had some coffee that wasn’t as good in other places. The service was super good and quick. We got the caramel latte, mocha latte, and the house Li Hung lemonade which was super good!! If you are near, stop by!

Very well done coffee shop and roasting room. Nice to see they support the local economy from farmers to artists. The coffee is roasted in house. Prepare to find some parking as there is not a lot.

Best coffee shop in Hilo! Nice amount of seating (inside only). Cappuccino was fantastic and very well made with latte art, very rich espresso. My wife got the drip coffee and enjoyed the robust flavor. Well trained baristas and super friendly staff! Will definitely be back!
