HiCO Hawaiian Coffee recently opened its doors at the BREW on Pawai Place in Kailua-Kona.
“We are so excited to provide a space for the community to come together and enjoy local specialty coffee from across the islands,” said HiCO owner Johan Forsberg.
HiCO is a 100% Hawaiian coffee collective with a rotating menu of small-batch coffee from farms across Hawaii Island, Oahu and Maui. In addition to working with farms from across the islands, HiCO has also partnered with Laird Superfood to offer superfood lattes in a variety of flavors such as cacao and turmeric. The cafe serves not only classic espresso drinks but also cold brew, pour-over, nitro cold brew coffee, and more.
The cafe features a light and fresh snack menu with vegetarian and vegan-friendly options like vegan musubi and vegan affogato. HiCO has also taken a modern twist on a breakfast classic, toast, by adding sweet and savory toppings such as avocado, cashew cucumber spread, and kinako cinnamon sugar.
“We want to do all we can to support the local economy in which we all live and work. That is why we pride ourselves on using local ingredients and incorporating other local businesses into our cafe, such as Hawaiian Licks, HI Kombucha, and Waimea Herb Company,” said HiCO General Manager David Harold.
HiCO is open from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., seven days a week.
