Arvo Cafe Waimea

Neat coffee shop recently opened here on the Big Island. Never been to the one on Oahu... But it's a good espresso bar.
My wife had avocado toast, and loved it.
The lattes are rich and creamy, with good art.
Nice attached outdoor apparel store.
Two thumbs up!

This place is clean and vibrant. Great music playing in the background and also sells apparel in another section of the store. They had some interesting lattes that tasted good and were decorated nicely. The Smoked Salmon Toast was flavorful and is a must try if your into the ingredients. Overall, great place to start my day!!

This place is the stop you need to make for coffee in Waimea. Best flat white we have had on the island and the strawberry guava mint ice tea was amazing!! The vibe and asthmatic of the place is adorable. The workers were friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. We didn't try their food but it looked good. The prices were so reasonable, not outrageous at all for coffee. We will definitely be back every time we come to Waimea.

Love that there’s one of these on BI now! So yummy. Everything is delicious. We especially like the egg salad on sourdough, avocado toast and cappuccino. This particular location has a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely atmosphere and shares space with the next door surf shop. The staff are very kind, helpful and attentive. Mahalo!🤙

If you’re a coffee-fiend and appreciate a proper espresso made with properly roasted beans; that is not oily, then make the trip here. It’s worth the journey. And you can get delicious sandwiches and pastries.

This is only the second real coffee spot I’ve found on the Big Island. And ironically it was recommended to me, as the only other good coffee spot on this island, by the owner of Ka Lea in Puna. The family raises Kau coffee which I find has a deeper flavor than Kona. Seems like coffee-fiends learn where to go.

Most of the Kona coffee I’ve tasted works for pour over, but not espresso. And many of the roasters on the coffee farms don’t seem to know how to roast. They roast oily coffee, even the medium roasts, and they add flavors.

As a result, I’ve come to the conclusion Kona coffee at $29 for an 8 oz bag ($3.63 per oz) is over rated and no where near worth the premium price.

This shop uses Sight Glass coffee, from L.A. Calif. It’s delicious, makes great espresso and a 12oz costs $1.58 per oz.

Great spot for coffee , and super clean and modern looking spot , nice little patio, the coffee shop is part of a nice surf shop selling apparels and gears. Overall I love the vibe !

Very good coffee and cookies 😉. Ambience, decor and the location is amazing. Highly recommend this place!

Best coffee on the island. And luckily served in ceramic, not paper cups.
Avocado and salmon toasts are also really delicious.

Great coffee, friendly staff! A perfect stop on your way to or from the Waimea farmers markets!

What a lovely place with perfect coffee, delicious chia pudding and salmon toast!
Absolutely recommend!
