A rare find in Waialua where you can actually see the whole process from bean to cup, including a free tour of the coffee and cacao processing areas. It's genuinely good for the curious visitor who wants to learn about Oahu-grown coffee and chocolate, or anyone looking for a unique, locally-made souvenir. If you're looking for a polished, high-end boutique cafe experience, this is more of a working mill and general store vibe—pick a spot in Waikiki instead.

Offers free tours of coffee and cacao processing areas and trees in the back.
Roaster-to-shelf experience where visitors buy bags of 'pure Oahu, Waialua coffee beans'.

Established in 1991, on the North Shore of Oahu, IXH is a family run business owned and operated by Bill and Reba Martin. Our store is located inside the historic Old Sugar Mill in beautiful Waialua Town on the North Shore of Oahu. The old mill site is also the site of the Waialua Coffee & Chocolate Mill, the source of our beloved Old Sugar Mill Brand Waialua Coffee and Chocolate. With the mill being literally just out the back door, we personally give visitors a quick coffee mill tour, where they can see coffee and cacao trees and observe and learn about the umilling process.
