KONA COAST. Kona coffee has no peer according to aficionados, and this fun, relaxed place really lets you enjoy it. Locally grown and roasted on-site, the beans produce such a unique flavor and aroma that you may find yourself returning every day to get your coffee fix. Muffins, bagels, and other bakery items round out the offerings, and bags of coffee beans are sold for home use as well.

CAPTAIN COOK. A great stop-off, Coffee Shack is little more than its name suggests – a nondescript place where guests can saddle up to the counter, order fresh-brewed Kona coffee, munch on carrot cake, and enjoy warm island breezes. In recent years, the Shack has earned quite a reputation as a breakfast hotspot, and for good reason – there are few better ways to properly kick off the day than with the help of homemade eggs Benedict, poi-bread French toast, and fresh-baked pastries.

HILO. If you're lucky, Hilo Homemade Ice Cream will be on the menu at restaurants you visit; if not, get your fill of the delicious stuff at their stand-alone location. Favorite flavors include standards like chocolate and vanilla, along with wickedly delicious concoctions like macadamia nut, Kona coffee, passion fruit, and banana-poha (gooseberry). In fact, you may need to visit several times to sample them all!

KONA COAST. Coffee fans love the Big Island for many reasons, and this place is one of them. You'll find freshly brewed, 100% Kona coffee here, along with an assortment of sweets and sandwiches. A great place to people-watch, it's situated directly across from the beach, where human activity is non-stop.

KAILUA-KONA. A handful of tables overlooking gorgeous Kailua Bay and some of the best Kona coffee on the Big Island are keys to Java on the Rock's success. Stop by in the morning for a lovingly-brewed cup of their popular Three Stone brand and a hearty omelet or a bagel with lox and a side of papaya. Experienced baristas will guide you through the menu, whether you opt for a simple cuppa joe or a more involved espresso drink. Grab a seat and let the coffee and the view work their magic!

KONA COAST. You'll almost certainly have a difficult time choosing which candies to sample here. Among the temptations are hand-dipped, chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, chocolate-covered coconut, chocolate-covered nut brittle, coffee toffee, chocolate-covered crystallized ginger, and guava rum truffles – oh my! Perhaps the best option is to get some of each and take them home for further testing. Good luck!

HAWI. The combination of coffee and ice cream under one roof may seem odd, but it's actually a clever strategy. The 100% Kona coffee is for folks who need a morning jumpstart, while the island-made ice cream is for folks who need an afternoon pick-me-up. Obviously, the coffee is great, and the ice cream is just as good. It comes in a variety of intriguing flavors, like pineapple-coconut, chocolate macadamia nut, green tea, and lychee. Enjoy your choice in the slightly down-at-the-heels café, which has a loyal local following.

HILO. Regularly voted "Best of the Island" by readers of the local newspaper, Kope Kope certainly has a few fans. Tons of them, in fact, and they show up every day for a java fix and either a quiet moment of solitude or a bit of friendly conversation. Designed as a retreat from the hassles of the outside world, the café is appealingly decorated, and tables are arranged for maximum privacy. Accompany your coffee with a pastry or a freshly made sandwich.
