Hi, we’re Ashley and Robert, and we started Country Grounds to offer a convenient, distinctly-local coffee experience in Waimea. Our family built this business to embody the unique character of our community. We strive to work as hard as the people we serve. Long before the sun rises we warm up the espresso machine and prepare to greet the hands that work the rolling green pastures of Waimea and Kohala. We keep things simple. Our drive-thru only model lets us work efficiently to serve you quickly. Our customers are paniolos, farmhands, laborers, teachers, healthcare providers, and all the hardworking people of Waimea and those passing through. No matter where you’re from, stop in for a real taste of rural Hawaii.
