Pros & cons
PROS
- Organic farm-grown fruit, sampler plates, and house coffee
- Shaded bamboo-grove seating on a peaceful working farm
- One of the few reliable food stops past Hāna toward Kīpahulu
CONS
- Cash only
- Selections can dwindle and they may close early in the afternoon
Overview
A beloved family-run, 13-acre organic farm in Kīpahulu, Laulima is far more than a roadside fruit stall. It’s a serene pause on the drive, with farm-roasted coffee, tropical fruit sampler plates, coconut water, jams, honey, and small house-made snacks—best enjoyed at the tables tucked into a tranquil bamboo grove.
What Makes It Stand Out
Most fruit stands are quick grab-and-go. Here, you linger. The bamboo-shaded seating and lush grounds make it a restorative stop after the O‘heo Gulch area or before hiking nearby. It’s also one of the only dependable food options beyond Hāna town, which makes it both practical and delightful.
What You’ll Experience
- Order a fruit sampler to taste varieties you won’t find in mainland grocery stores, plus fresh coffee or lemonade.
- Browse farm-made products like jams, honey, teas, cookies, and natural bath items.
- Take a short, informal walk through the grounds to see tropical plantings and coffee trees.
Wildlife
Expect common local birds in the grove. Some visitors report spotting mountain goats in nearby slopes and canyons—keep an eye out as you drive.
Need-to-Know
- Hours are generally 9:30 am–5 pm, but offerings are best earlier; late afternoon can mean sold-out items and occasional early closing.
- Cash only. Cell service can be spotty in this stretch.
- On-site parking is available; peak Road to Hāna hours can bring short waits.
Best Time to Visit
- Late morning to early afternoon (roughly 10 am–2 pm) for the best selection and pleasant, filtered light in the bamboo grove.
- Weekdays are typically calmer than weekends.
- If you’re pairing with Pipiwai Trail or O‘heo Gulch, stop before or after your hike to refuel without backtracking to Hāna.
