Merrie Monarch is a cherished time in Hilo—a celebration of hula, culture, Hawaiian heritage, and Hawai‘i’s most prestigious hula competition.

Held annually in Hilo during the last week of April, the world-renowned event honors King David Kalākaua—fondly remembered as the “Merrie Monarch”—who played a pivotal role in revitalizing hula, music, and Hawaiian traditions during his reign in the late 1800s.

At Big Island Coffee Roasters, we’re honored to share in this festive season with flavors and experiences that reflect the beauty of the islands.You're invited to join us for special drinks, foods, and intimate, educational events at our Hilo café.


☕ Silver Jubilee Latte

Each April, in honor of King Kalākaua’s enduring legacy, we feature the Silver Jubilee Latte — a coconut-based creation topped with rich cocoa powder, dusted in the shape of Kalākaua’s Jubilee coin. Available for a limited time at our Hilo café, this specialty latte is a tribute to Hawaiian history and regal celebration.


🌟 Locally Made Food & Drinks

Fresh Malasadas, Spam Egg Bites, Seasonal Drinks & Hawaiian Coffees.
