Amazing macadamia nuts and chocolates!!! A must stop if you're heading to the south point. People are super nice. Food products are amazing.

  STEPH JUDGEMENT: Nice stop for a bathroom break, samples, and more!

We were on our way to Ka Lae (South Point) and were starting to feel the need for... read more a break when we happened to see their sign along the road. It turned out to be a very nice stop--definitely more than just a restroom break. We sampled their coffee and various macadamia nut/chocolate combos (bought some nuts), walked the pleasant grounds and viewed their flora and fauna, and of course, made use of their facilities, taking care not to let their house cats out (did not actually see any cats, darn). They also had a lot of art in the main house where the bathrooms were. A lot more to see than we were expecting, with a pleasant, courteous staff--worth the stop.

  On our way back from the furthest southern point in the United States (on the Big Island), we stopped at Paradise Meadows for some Macadamia nuts. We found the staff... read more were more than willing to offer samples. We walked out with 4 different varieties of Macadamia nuts. All delicious. The owners farm most of their properties with coffee & Macadamia nuts.. We sampled their coffee, and it was SO good, we took some back for tomorrow morning's breakfast.

  I truly thing this place is amazing and should be on your list as a stop as you explore the Big Island
It's the only place that we found ... read more clean bathrooms. Not just one but 4 of them with in a beautiful art gallery filled with art by the Resident / Owner and Artist

MAKE IT A MUST ON YOUR TRIP TO THE BIG ISLAND

  I first came across Ka'u local buzz coffee and Paradise Meadows a couple of years ago and decided that this was the best coffee I've ever had. Same... read more for the Mac Nuts. I immediately subscribed to their newsletter so I could keep up to speed on what they where offering.

In a recent trip to Hawaii, we were finally able to visit in person and it was a fun experience. Enthusiastic staff, lots of laughter, delicious fruit slushies, Art Gallery with featured local artists, penny the pig, baby ducks, parrots that would squawk at you until you engaged in conversation.

Premium Kau Coffee, Macnuts, chocolate, short bread, slushies, pizza (on the day we were there)
made by two Italian guys. Yes please!

After we gorged on free samples and margarita pizza, we went on a shopping spree at the well stocked gift shop (not sure if that's the correct term, maybe farmstand?). Since we spent a certain amount on goodies, a discount was given along with free shipping to Alaska (what?!?).

It makes me so happy just knowing that places like this exist.

My only regret about stopping is that because we were in go, go, go mode to get to a birthday party, we didn't spend nearly enough time here as I would've liked. Next time!
