The verdict

Field notes

Worth the line Packed Locals + tourists

This is the place for world-class pastries—specifically the Black Sesame Kouign Amann—paired with smooth Kona coffee. It's a high-energy, high-volume spot where the payoff is a James Beard-level pastry and a quality cup, provided you're okay with a line that often stretches out the door. If you're looking for a quiet, slow-paced morning or a place to linger over a book, this isn't the fit for you today; head to a neighborhood spot instead.

In their words

The story

If you want to make a good cup of coffee, make friends with the farmer. Trade stories, share meals. You’ll know which plants are doing well, you’ll see them yourself. Three thousand feet above the North Pacific on a third generation coffee farm in Kona, Hawaii, where the views alone are worth the forty minute flight from Oahu. If you want to make the best cup of coffee - do all of these things. And aim to do more. This has worked well for Kona Coffee Purveyors’ Raymond Suiter.
