Aloha General
About
On Hawaii (Big Island), Aloha General is a café at 28-1692 Old Mamalahoa Hwy in Honomu, a small community on the windward coast north of Hilo.
Aloha General is known for its setting in Honomu, a village on the windward coast, and first-time visitors should expect a compact café stop on the road between Hilo and the island's northern towns. A score of 4.9 out of 5 from 52 reviews places it among the highest-rated cafés on this side of the island, and the review total reflects a steady stream of passing trade rather than mass visitation. The café sits within reach of Hilo, and Kailua-Kona, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona are all parts of the island that appear in its surrounding area listing.
The café maintains a presence on Instagram at alohageneral.co, where its latest offerings are posted. Visitors heading north from Hilo will find the turnoff to Honomu along the Old Mamalahoa Hwy, a route that runs through the island's wetter windward side.
Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, and the drier months from April to October, which shapes the best window for driving the windward coast. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters to breed between roughly November and May, and the coastal road passes several lookout points where they can be spotted in season.
