Waialua Estate Coffee and Chocolate

Amazing! Visited today and got the history and the process of coffee and cacao by the very friendly staff. Best chocolate we have had on the island. So many great suviners and local artist items. They also have local shaved ice with all natural flavors, amazing! A must do on any trip to the island.

Very nice staff. Pretty neat looking old mill building. It started to get pretty hot in the afternoon, so we did not stay for the tour. There were samples of coffee out; tasted like water. We did not get to sample any chocolate (which would have been the highlight).

The iced coffee was pretty good, the espresso was ok, the wait was pretty long.
Items in the store, seem a bit pricey. My husband was looking for a little bowl for his watch; but they weren’t made locally, the labels said “made in….Not Hawaii”. The mill is a large building so there is lots to look at and purchase.

7/5 stars! This place, and the service, is incredible! Sure, the drive is out of the way, but worth it. The coffee AND the chocolate are grown down the road and processed right at the facility - both of which are world-class. The Hawaiian ice has literally won awards. And the keepsakes are much more unique than what you'll find at the ABC stores. If you happen to be lucky enough to helped by Tiffany, you'll have an experience you'll cherish forever.

Fun to stop here and see multiple stores. A very rustic and old fashioned looking gift shop with coffee and chocolate from their area farm for sale, and even some shave ice too I think. They even give a short talk on where the beans come from and show you how they make the coffee and chocolate finished products. With plenty of free samples. This farm also has a surf shop. And another gift shop/clothing store.

Delicious coffee and shaved ice (with real cane sugar syrup)!
We spent some time talking with the folks here about their coffee, shaved ice, and notes about the island.
Prices were reasonable given the local and artisanal value. If you're near here or even at the Dole Plantation, then this is worth the stop!
