Country Grounds Coffee Company

Country Grounds Coffee Company.

This little shack is located as you enter Waimea from the Hilo direction. Its a small converted trailer.

My brother, sister and nieces each got a drink to sample what we could on the menu.

I got an iced caramel milkcchiatto, brother a ice americano, sister something crazy lol and nieces had their hot chocolates “frozen”

Its nice they were willing to make an item not on the menu for our girls.

My coffee was great, perfect amount of sweetness and the roast was on point. Both the coffee flavor and Carmel shined through.

Another big bonus is its a drive thru operation which makes it easy if you have kids or if its raining.

If you’re in the area i suggest checking them out, esp if you’re headed into Hilo as there aren’t much options after them.

*EDIT: after more consideration I’ve changed my review to 5 stars. And still highly recommend stopping by

Just heard about this place, so we decided to give it a try, as we were going to be driving right past it.
It is drive thru only.. and the line was long.
However, the lattes were absolutely delicious.
They come topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean sitting on the lid !

This Alaska family LOVES Hawai’i Coffee, ESPECIALLY at Country Grounds Coffee Company! This little drive through coffee stand makes the best cup! Worth the drive to Waimea!

Awesome family!! Great coffee and customer service. I'm so happy I can get coffee and not even get out of my car. Fantastic treats and cookies. Please stop by and check them out.

Really good coffee. Quite delicious. In fact. However, the fact that you wait 15 minutes per car to get served detracts immensely from this place. I would go back but really waiting that long is kind of difficult for a drive-thru

Solid coffee drinks served roadside quickly. It is a little expensive but a good tasty splurge.

If you haven't been here..BE THERE!!!
So happy to support local. Try the STALLION! My fave and go-to.
I'll do a STALLION extra shot and then an afternoon Peach or Mango smoothie!!! Mahalo. Nui loa for fueling my mornings and keeping me going throughout the rest of the day!!! CHECK.THEM.OUT!

Drive thru convenience!

We hit up this little coffee shop on our way from Kona to Hilo and it was absolutely the best coffee we've had on the island! Such a cute little shop and everyone was so friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through or staying in Waimea!

If you like coffee, REAL, GOOD coffee this is the drive up for you. The service is EXCELLENT. The quality of coffee is EXCELLENT. St@rbucks is hot G@rbage compared to Country Grounds!

We were on our way to Kona from a tour at Waipi’o Valley and we needed a kick of energy to continue our drive. We made it 5 minutes before closing and it’s such a small, cute drive thru and I’m so happy that we didn’t miss it! I ordered the iced emerald pineapple latte and it was a pleasant surprise! Something a little different that I’m not used to.

My boyfriend, who doesn’t really drink coffee himself, ordered the iced snickers mocha and he LOVED it! The caramel and hazelnut flavor balanced out the chocolate mocha very well. And on the cup was a lovely surprise: a chocolate covered espresso bean! My boyfriend thought it was a chocolate covered raisin (I know, weirdo, right?) and just popped it right into his mouth and boy did he regret not savoring that flavor! Like I said, he is not a coffee drinker but he said it was a flavor that he’ll never forget.

Unfortunately, because we made it right before closing, we couldn’t go back to inquire about it, but Ashley was very responsive on google message when we asked about it. They sell it in 3oz bags, so hopefully, when we make it back to Waimea, we’ll be buying a couple!

All in all, I definitely recommended coming here when you are around the area!
