Beautiful cafe close to the goat dairy and akaka state falls. The lady inside the shop was working the hardest because she made drinks for a bunch of people who came in the shop before us and then still managed to make the best avocado toast I’ve ever had in my life. The combination of flavors was so good. The avocado itself was delicous and I’m Def gonna say Hawaiian avocados are the best in the world, so mild and buttery. The balsamic drizzle was so good with it and the presentation of the plate was absolutely beautiful, absolutely worth the price. The egg was perfectly cooked, a bit runny to drip down onto the bread. Our coffees were amazing as well. The honey girl was yummy. I loved this place and everything about it.

We padded into The Hive on the Big Island like the regal Maine Coons we are—tails high, whiskers forward, senses alert. And let us tell you: this place is the cat’s meow.

The vibe? Vibrant, joyful, and humming (yes, humming) with just the right amount of buzz. Not too busy, not too slow—just a perfectly balanced purr. The kind of rhythm that lets you linger without feeling rushed, yet still keeps the energy sparkling like a sunbeam on a freshly groomed coat.

First, the goods. So many cute presents to buy, we nearly knocked something off a shelf out of pure excitement. Thoughtfully curated little treasures everywhere—gifts that make you want to paw through every corner. If we had thumbs, we’d be swiping half the shop into our tote. Claw-ver merchandising, truly.

Now let’s talk about the food—because we are not kitten around.

The sweet pesto sandwich? Absolutely hiss-terical (in the best way). Fresh, vibrant, layered with flavor that made our whiskers quiver. It was herbaceous and bright, yet grounded—like a well-balanced prowl through a garden.

The lovely “Common Latte”? Silky. Smooth. Froth so fine it could rival the fluff on our winter ruffs. Comforting but not basic—more lion-hearted than housecat.

The vanilla matcha? Earthy, softly sweet, and unexpectedly elegant. It felt like sipping a breeze under palm trees. We lapped it up with refined enthusiasm.

And the deluxe toast? Listen. This was no ordinary loaf lounging about. This was a stacked, textural masterpiece. Each bite had crunch, creaminess, depth. It deserved its own scratching post of honor.

What truly makes The Hive special, though, is the atmosphere. There’s a warmth here—not just temperature, but spirit. The staff radiate kindness. The space invites you to settle in, curl up, and stay awhile. It’s the kind of café where you could easily spend hours grooming your thoughts and watching the world wander by.

In summary: we arrived curious cats.
We left fat, happy, and fully feline fine.

Five paws up. We’ll absolutely be prowling back.

For me, The Hive was an incredible find! I stumbled in on a Sunday morning, looking for a latte. I was really excited because the flavors on the menu seemed quite exotic. The owner definitely isn’t afraid to think outside the box (or should I say, outside the cup?) I went with the Habibi latte, which was flavored with cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and vanilla. It was exquisite, paired with a big, fresh, flakey croissant.

As I was waiting, I looked around the cafe and noticed a plethora of healthy snacks for sale (grain free, organic, etc.) I expressed my delight to the barista and she informed me that the owner is passionate about serving fresh, locally sourced produce. She added that much of it is grown right in their own garden which is outside the back door! I was so impressed with the Hive’s commitment to fresh, healthy and delicious options that I can’t recommend it enough!

Super cool local coffee shop with great drinks and a small section of local crafts for sale. The coffee drinks are excellent and a great variety of choice. The local jewelry selection was extensive and we enjoyed picking up gifts for friends and family. Plenty of seating inside and out front. Didn’t try the lunch options but the menu looks delicious. Also the cookies were amazing.
