Great coffee is just the doorway.

Ānuenue On The Bay is Hilo’s lush corner for matcha, slow mornings, and the people who make this town feel like home. Order ahead, then come stay a while.

Ānuenue means rainbow

A shop that grew into a gathering place.

We started with coffee and matcha done right. Then people stayed. They read on the velvet chairs, met over bagels, and let the afternoon slow down. So we leaned in.

Today Ānuenue is part cafe, part living room, part maker’s corner. A place on the bay where Hilo comes together, even if just for a moment.

More than a cafe

A living room for the whole town.

Small meetings, book club, a quiet afternoon with a good book. Pull one from the shelf and settle in. When you want the room to yourself, it is yours to reserve.

Private gatherings

Book the lounge for your own gathering.

Birthdays, baby showers, workshops, and team offsites. Reserve the whole warm room, plants and velvet chairs and all, for $100 an hour and make it your own.

In the shop

Take a little of Hilo home.

Our house-made sauces and syrups, prints and crafts from island makers, and a small rack of clothing we love. It changes often, because our makers do too.
