About
For an authentic taste of the Big Island, a visit to Kona Gold Trading Company is a truly worthwhile experience. Since 2002, this family-owned business has become a beloved fixture in Kona Coffee Country, evolving from a bakery into a celebrated purveyor of exceptional 100% Kona coffee and their signature Hawaiian Rum Cakes. Their Kealakekua shop, a charming 'coffee-shack,' welcomes with the aroma of daily-baked rum cakes and genuine Hawaiian hospitality, deeply rooted in showcasing the island's agricultural richness, especially its world-class, locally grown coffee. Kona Gold's commitment to quality is evident in their estate-grown coffee, often sourced from their own Kona Gold Estate farm (part of Buddha’s Cup Farm), ensuring each cup features pure, award-winning 100% Kona. A standout is their pioneering UVB Light Infused Coffee, noted for its uniquely smooth profile. Alongside their coffee, the 'world famous' rum cakes, rich with local macadamia nuts and offered in tropical flavors like pineapple and lilikoi, are a must-try. Their passion for local produce also extends to bean-to-bar Hawaiian cacao, crafted into artisan chocolate. What truly distinguishes Kona Gold is this profound connection to local sourcing and sustainable approaches, including biodynamic farming. Beyond the Kealakekua bakery and tasting room where visitors can enjoy free samples, they operate a farm and visitors center in Holualoa, offering a deeper glimpse with UTV tours. Kona Gold Trading Company provides a delightful and insightful experience into the Big Island's bounty and aloha spirit, reflecting a genuine dedication to their craft and community.
