Welcome to Nector Cafe

“ Atmosphere is nice here. Beautiful art work throughout the store and cafe. There was some seating inside and some outside. We got our food and coffee pretty quick despite reading reviews where people felt it was quite slow. We ordered from the tablet at the front but the ladies working were friendly and attentive. They even brought us our coffee while we were browsing through the store. The food was also good. We got two bubbles waffles and the chicken sandwich on sourdough bread. The waffles were not too sweet which was nice and the sandwich was actually a lot larger than we thought it would be. The only thing I’d say about the sandwich is that it was a bit hard to eat with the chunks of breaded chicken. Cutting them in pieces I feel would make it easier to eat or using a fillet. The only gripe I really had was there was no public bathroom. I really wanted to wash my hands after eating and couldn’t. ”

“ This establishment is the crown jewel of the Hilo Bayfront shopping district! To get to the cafe, you must pass through an extremely posh gift boutique. While the atmosphere feels upscale, the lovely girls working there are completely down to earth and full of the Aloha Spirit. They made me feel so welcome and we had fun talking story. I treated myself to the "Brew Shake." This was a grown-up version of a milkshake, made from Kona Coffee ice cream, cold brew coffee and salted caramel sauce. It was fantastic! Not overly sweet, just wonderfully smooth and creamy with a rich, satisfying coffee flavor. I really appreciate the way the owners strive to create their offerings from wholesome, quality foods rather than rely on cheap, processed ingredients. Their menu is extensive, with a great variety, so I can't wait to return! Mahalo for the 5-star experience! ”

“ Hot day in Hilo today me and partner decided to get ice cream at the Nector Cafe. Huge menu lots of options. I got the salted macadamia ice cream and the vanilla and she go the Cookie Monster and mint. Cookie Monster and the macadamia WERE AMAZING. HOWEVER the mint was very artificial tasting and not very good. Other than that very nice little cafe! ”

“ I really enjoyed the Heart Chakra Latte. There are so many drink options to choose from and lots of ice cream as well. Was so smooth and not as sweet. The shop in front has so much to look at for purchase and is super zen. A very nice spot to relax and mindfully enjoy a nice summer drink. ”

“ Such a cute little store that has a cafe at the back. Good service, unique drink and a great atmosphere! I will be back! ”

“ I was genuinely impressed with everything about this place. The atmosphere was amazing and so were the drinks. As someone who's really into coffee and usually prefers to drink it black, I tried their flight with 2 types of cold brew and 2 house drinks and I thought they were amazing. Definitely would recommend them to anyone. ”
