A bright, airy farm cafe in South Kona that's perfect for an early bird's breakfast—they open at 6am and the pork breakfast burritos and biscuits and gravy are genuinely great. It's a peaceful alternative to the crowded spots further up the road, making it a great stop on the way to South Point or Pu'uhonua O Honaunau. If you're looking for a high-end specialty coffee experience with a wide range of pour-over options, you'll find the menu more traditional than technical; head to a boutique roaster instead.

The story

High on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa, where ancient Hawaiian legends speak of the industrious Menehune working under moonlight, our story begins. We’re not just named after these mythical craftsmen – we embody their spirit of dedication, quality, and tireless work. As a veteran-owned business, we brought the same discipline and attention to detail from military service to coffee farming. Every morning at dawn, we tend to our coffee trees with the precision of a mission and the heart of aloha. Unlike many coffee companies that source from multiple farms, we ARE the farm. When you order Menehune Coffee, you’re getting beans that handpicked on our slopes, processed in our mill within hours of harvest, and roasted in small batches just for you. We control every step because your perfect cup depends on it.
