“Arvo in Waimea is a nice and quaint cafe that is pleasing to the eyes, ears, and mouth. As soon as you walk in, the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu is simple but has everything you may crave. I tried the Nutella Toast and Smoked Salmon Toast. They were both masterfully made and well-presented. They looked like works of art and tasted great. I also tried an iced vanilla latte and that was nice and creamy, not too sweet, and delicious.The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. It seems like a great place to study or do work. There's plenty of seating indoors and great outdoor seating as well. All in all a great cafe with nothing to complain about.“
“A fabulous, and utterly delicious little boba shop, close to central Waimea! They also have a weekly drink truck at the Saturday farmers market, though they quickly sell out of their limited supply there!Personal favorites are “It’s a Vibe” and the “Mango Tango” but their house brewed chai, and other offerings are equally delicious!“
“Really nice to have this market as an option for food if you are staying at the Mauna Lani resort! Coffee is way cheaper than ordering it from any of the restaurants (e.g., $7 for a cold brew compared to $15). They sell snacks, alcohol (very over-priced), smoothies, ice cream, grab-and-go food, and made-to-order sandwiches and pizza. They also have gifts and souvenirs you can bring back from your trip. They sell Tropical Dreams ice cream and it was INCREDIBLE! $8 for two scoops, but definitely easier than driving to Waimea and back for ice cream.“
“To be honest, I have been using the Java Hut as my backup to get a morning iced latte when the other coffee house in Waimea is not open (which is often and sometimes unpredictable.) HOWEVER, on this trip I have decided that the lattes at the Java Hut are actually better tasting, so I think I have switched my priorities. Give it a try.“
“Found this place on our last day unfortunately! we would have ate here everyday if we would have known how good it was, some of the best food we had our entire visit here. We had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and spicy mayo, and regular waffle with the best whip cream and butter, ube latte, and peanut butter açaí bowl. You could tell the food was made with care.“
“Fun little place to find up in the mountains. And wow the Portuguese stew was delicious and they make a mighty good bloody Mary. The woman that worked at the bar was also a delight to chat with... Took her a little time I think to trust us, I'm sure there's a lot of tourists that come through but everybody was very nice and friendly. It was a great stop and glad we had the experience.“
