Once You Find This Secret Hawaii Coffee And Chocolate Farm You’ll Visit Again And Again
The Hawaiian Islands are well-known for our pineapple plantations and coffee farms, but that’s not all you’ll find here. Hawai is the only state in America that can easily grow cacao, and as a result, our beautiful islands are home to some phenomenal chocolate farms. While we love all of Hawaii’s farms, from goat dairies to lavender farms, there is one unique destination that stands out in a crowd. Nestled on Oahu’s north shore is an under-the-radar farm that specializes in both chocolate and coffee, and you need to visit for yourself to see just how sweet this spot can be.
Welcome to Waialua Estate Chocolate and Coffee, a hidden gem nestled in the small, underrated community of Waialua on Oahu’s north shore.
Grown on former sugarcane lands on the Wahiawa Plateau overlooking Oahu’s famous north shore, Waialua Estate is one of the most unique destinations you'll find in Hawaii.
The 155-acre coffee farm sits at an elevation of approximately 700 feet above sea level while the cacao orchard measures in at just 20 acres and is situated at sea level along the banks of the Kaukonahua River.
When you visit their shop at the Old Sugar Mill in Waialua, you will be delighted to find not only scrumptious coffee and chocolate but an eclectic mix of uniquely Hawaiian souvenirs.
The best part about these tours is that they are totally impromptu, meaning you don't have to follow a schedule. Simply show up, sample some coffee, and inquire about taking a tour. How easy!
This is the only coffee and chocolate farm you’ll find on the island of Oahu and one of the only commercial cacao estates in the United States. Whether you like coffee, chocolate, or both, Waialua Estate is an absolute must-visit.
Waialua Estate Chocolate and Coffee is located at 67 Kupahu St., Waialua, HI 96791, and is open Sunday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit their website. You can check out Island X Hawaii here.
