Nector Cafe - Coffee shop in Hilo - 216 Kamehameha Ave, USA

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.

It is nestled behind a gift shop, but the order screen is right at the entrance of the gift shop. I prefer to give my coffee order verbally and didn't appreciate the order stand, although the options were pretty good and you could adjust everything in your order. The place is cute and very hip looking but the latte was bad. It was espresso and milk simply mixed, no foam or froth. Even after I made a note to the staff when I took my first sip, they reassured me that I was having a latte with frothed milk... It definitely was not frothed milk (or very lightly foamed). I would pass on the drinks but cute enough to visit once

Delicious bubble waffle and great coffee. Got there first thing to beat the lines everyone else mentioned, and got the waffle really quickly. It was delicious! I had the UniBliss with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, ube, and strawberry cold foam.

Loved the place! The drink menu is huge 🤯 but the super friendly staff is happy to help ☺️! Food looked great too! And do not forget to order sparkles for your lemonade!

The espresso seems like it has potential. Didn't have any crema on it for the Americano and fell flat after a few sips. The cappuccino/flat white is more like a flat white. Personal preference is a cappuccino so wouldn't be back for cappuccino. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

This is the most magical artsy coffee shop I have ever seen! Its literally located in an art gallery filled with crystals and whimsy! My husband ordered the root beer float and really enjoyed it! I ordered the brown sugar latte and I wish there was less milk because you couldn’t really taste the brown sugar so much, but overall it was good! The entire place had an awesome vibe, from the art to the staff! Definitely stop by!
