Ka Lae Coffee

Top choice in Hawaiʻi the Big Island


Tucked behind a family home and fronting a greenhouse bursting with orchids, the US's southernmost coffee shop is a relaxed place to rejuvenate after a morning at South Point. Along with Waimea Coffee Company in Waimea, this is an island best in show. There's a superbly cozy indoor/outdoor garden and lounge for working/relaxing, too.

Yoga classes (by donation) happen among the blossoms on Monday and Tuesday (5:15pm), Thursday (6am and 7am) and Friday (7am and 9:15am).
