Today was an Upcountry day for us - we have company and took them part way up Haleakala (our resident volcano) to Kula. First we stopped at the Surfing Goat Dairy for some cheese and truffles, and to pet some goats, of course. Then on to the Ulupalakua Ranch for a picnic with their awesome burgers and a wine tasting. Then the real hi-light for me - we stopped at Grandma's Coffee House. A number of people have been telling me about this place, and finally it was my turn to check it out!

| Grandma's Coffee House.... ready for some coffee and desert! |
When you're driving through Kula towards the ranch, it is almost at the very end of town. There's a tiny Chevron gas station, a small grocery/convenience store, an art gallery and the coffee shop.
When we drove by before lunch, it was packed! On the way back it was less full, plenty of room for us. It's a 4th generation coffee farm and yes, they still grow and roast their own beans.

We were all still full from lunch, so we shared one piece of a pineapple/coconut square (delicious) and enjoyed some coffees. The tiramisu cake looked very tempting too. We'll be back!Labels: adventure, animals, Hawaiian food, kids, made in Maui, Maui to-do, restaurants, volcano
