“ Best Hawaiian coffee ever! The toast is super yummy, and the Ube Latte is a must-try. Loved their playlist too—it really adds to the vibe. Definitely coming back! ”
“ HiCO is a hidden gem in Kona. The Ube Latte is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The Smoked Ahi Toast is unreal. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s a local twist on brunch that hits all the right notes. And the Honey Bee Pollen Latte is absolutely incredible. I’ve never had anything like it before. Earthy, floral, and subtly sweet in the best way. Friendly staff, great vibes, and top notch coffee and food. Highly recommend. ”
“ This should be a must stop by on your trip to Hawaii! Their ube latte and lily special is delicious! I am usually picky with my ube and matcha flavors, but the taste and presentation is a winner! The lox toast and avocado toasts are also great light but hearty bites to fill up an appetite. ”
“ HiCo is truly a great coffee spot in Kona ! Had to drive a bit further down to get to it but it’s right in the middle in a great spot - easy to pull into and also has a drive through . Chill vibes and great service . I wish I had room to try their ube latte but I opted for their honey latte with pollen. I just don’t ever see pollen in a latte so I had to try it. It wasn’t too sweet - had an earthy flavor due to the bee pollen but it was just made so well!! Great spot ! ”
“ Great cafe shop for those who like ube everything, lattes and teas, and even ube syrup for those wanting to take some home. The fig and prosciutto toast was really good, highly recommended. ”
“ Place is a perfect Kona Coffee Shop. Great vibes, slow down and enjoy a unique coffee drink and some fresh food. Food takes about 20-25 minutes, they always warn you and I appreciate that - not everything needs to be fast in life. The brown sugar Froshakka was amazing. The Ube Sweet Cream was also delicious. HiCO has inside/outside seating and fills up quickly/is bustling. Not my first recommendation if you are coming here to work on a report, but my first recommendation if you want to enjoy a great breakfast toast and a delicious coffee! ”
“ We came here on our last day and liked it a lot. Their stuff is local and they had a really nice merchandise section with hats and clothes. We tried some good pastries but didn’t try the other foods. The matcha was great and the ube was more my taste. I would definitely come back. ”
“ This is one of the best coffee experiences you can get in the Kona area! The ube coffee is a fun and unique experience, and the atmosphere is fun and upscale. You can also check out their stylish street merch, and enjoy the warmth of the community. Should definitely stop by if you get a chance. ”
