About
HiCO Hawaiian Coffee offers a genuine Big Island experience, having blossomed from a humble coffee cart into vibrant, island-inspired cafes now found in Kailua-Kona, Kealakekua, and Waikoloa Village. Founded by Johann & Daniel, their guiding principle of "Brewing Aloha" is evident in their welcoming spaces, thoughtfully designed to be community hubs that celebrate local culture and foster connection. This is a place where the spirit of the islands feels truly palpable, inviting everyone to share in positive interactions. What truly distinguishes HiCO is its unwavering dedication to exclusively serving 100% Hawaiian-grown coffee, sourced from across the islands with a strong emphasis on Big Island beans. This commitment not only ensures exceptional quality but also directly supports local farmers and honors Hawaii's rich agricultural heritage. Their signature in-house 100% Hawaiian Espresso, meticulously roasted in Holualoa with notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and toasted almond, is a highlight. Beyond remarkable coffee, visitors can enjoy custom-crafted menus featuring locally sourced ingredients in made-to-order items like acai bowls, specialty lattes such as the HiCO Ube Latte, and various island-style snacks. HiCO's ethos extends beyond the cup, guided by mottos like "Be humble. Be aware. And don't be afraid to make some waves." They actively embody this by championing ocean preservation through partnerships and events, and by cultivating a team that is proudly "100% local and 100% Aloha." For those seeking an authentic taste of Hawaiian coffee and a warm embrace of island community, HiCO Hawaiian Coffee provides a memorable and uplifting experience.
