About Green World Coffee Farm
Green World Coffee Farm is a working coffee farm located in Wahiawa in Central Oahu. Established in 2013, the farm has grown into a popular stop for travelers who want to experience a different side of Oahu while learning more about Hawaiian-grown coffee.
The property is home to thousands of coffee trees, along with a coffee garden visitors can explore. You can sample coffee and tea, order a drink from the espresso bar, browse Hawaiian coffee and gifts, and learn more about the coffee-growing process.
One of the best things about Green World Coffee Farm is how easy it is to include in an Oahu itinerary. You can make it a quick morning coffee stop or spend more time exploring the farm before continuing toward Wahiawa, Dole Plantation, Haleiwa, and the North Shore.
Where Is Green World Coffee Farm?
Green World Coffee Farm is located at 71-101 Kamehameha Highway in Wahiawa, Hawaii, in Central Oahu. Its location between Honolulu and the North Shore makes it an easy stop to include on a day of exploring this part of the island.
From Waikiki, the drive is typically around 35 to 45 minutes without heavy traffic, while Haleiwa is roughly 20 minutes away. Green World Coffee Farm is also just a few minutes from Dole Plantation, making it easy to visit both before continuing toward the North Shore.
I recommend adding the farm to a larger Central Oahu or North Shore itinerary rather than making a special trip just for the coffee farm. Oahu traffic can significantly affect drive times, so always check current conditions before heading out.

Our Experience Visiting Green World Coffee Farm
We first visited Green World Coffee Farm in September 2015 while we were living in Oahu. It was actually the day after National Coffee Day, so my friend Justine and I decided there was no better excuse to grab the kids and head out for a morning coffee date.
I ordered a Vanilla Mocha Freeze topped with whipped cream along with a chocolate chip muffin, and both were absolutely delicious. Justine went with a Mocha Freeze and a Pumpkin Bar, which she loved just as much. We clearly took our National Coffee Day celebration very seriously, even if we were technically a day late. 😂
After grabbing our drinks and treats, we sat outside while the kids had space to play and run around. We also browsed the gift shop and checked out the indoor sitting area, which was filled with fun coffee-inspired posters at the time. I specifically remember a Pirate Starbucks poster and a Decaf Zombies poster being my favorites.
It wasn’t a big excursion or an attraction we had planned our entire day around. It was simply a fun morning spent enjoying good coffee, hanging out with a friend, and letting the kids enjoy being outside. Looking back, those simple outings are some of my favorite memories from our time living in Hawaii.
Our personal visit took place in September 2015, so menu items, seating areas, décor, and other details mentioned from our experience may have changed since then.
What to Do at Green World Coffee Farm
Green World Coffee Farm may be an easy stop to add to your Oahu itinerary, but there’s more to do than simply grab a cup of coffee. You can sample Hawaiian coffee, explore the coffee garden, learn more about how coffee is grown, and browse the shop before continuing your day.
Grab a Coffee, Drink, or Treat
Start your visit at the espresso bar, where you can order hot, iced, and blended coffee drinks along with other beverages and treats. It’s the perfect excuse to grab something to enjoy while exploring the farm or before getting back on the road toward the North Shore.
The menu can change, so check what’s available during your visit. And while I can’t promise my beloved Vanilla Mocha Freeze from 2015 will be waiting for you, I definitely recommend treating yourself to something while you’re there.
Sample Hawaiian Coffee and Tea
One of the perks of visiting Green World Coffee Farm is the opportunity to sample different coffees and teas. Complimentary samples allow you to try a few varieties and discover what you like before purchasing coffee to bring home.
Explore the Coffee Garden
Take some time to walk through the coffee garden and see coffee plants growing up close. Informational QR codes throughout the property allow you to learn more about the farm and coffee-growing process while exploring at your own pace.
Take a Free Coffee Farm Tour
If you want to learn even more, Green World Coffee Farm offers free guided farm tours on a first-come, first-served basis. The tours give visitors a closer look at the farm and how coffee is grown in Hawaii.
Tour schedules and availability can change, so check the current schedule before planning your visit around a tour.
Browse the Gift Shop
Before leaving, stop by the gift shop to browse the selection of Hawaiian coffee, coffee-themed gifts, souvenirs, and locally inspired products. If you find a coffee you love during the tasting, this is also a great opportunity to grab a bag to enjoy once you’re back home.
Hawaiian coffee makes an easy souvenir from Oahu, especially if you prefer bringing home something you can actually enjoy rather than another traditional souvenir collecting dust on a shelf.
Is Green World Coffee Farm Kid-Friendly?
Yes, Green World Coffee Farm can be a fun and easy stop when exploring Oahu with kids. While coffee may be the main attraction for the adults, the outdoor setting and coffee garden give kids a chance to walk around and see something different from the typical beaches and tourist attractions.
When we visited with our kids, we spent time sitting outside while they played and ran around nearby. It made our coffee date much more enjoyable because we weren’t trying to keep little ones entertained inside a coffee shop the entire time.
I wouldn’t necessarily plan an entire day here specifically for the kids, but it works well as a family-friendly stop on the way to the North Shore. Pair it with other nearby attractions and you can easily turn it into part of a fun family day exploring Oahu.

Things to Do Near Green World Coffee Farm
Green World Coffee Farm’s location makes it easy to combine with several other popular Oahu attractions. Instead of making the drive solely for the coffee farm, use it as one of your stops during a full day exploring Central Oahu and the North Shore.
A few places you can pair with your visit include:
- Dole Plantation: Located just a few minutes away, Dole Plantation is an easy next stop for families. Explore the Pineapple Garden Maze, ride the Pineapple Express Train, walk through the gardens, and don’t leave without grabbing a Dole Whip.
- Haleiwa: Continue north to historic Haleiwa for local shops, restaurants, food trucks, art galleries, and shave ice. It’s a great place to stop for lunch and spend some time exploring before heading to the beach.
- Waimea Valley: Walk through beautiful botanical gardens before reaching Waimea Falls. This is another great option for families and gives you a chance to experience some of Oahu’s lush tropical scenery.
- North Shore Beaches: Spend the afternoon exploring some of Oahu’s famous North Shore beaches. Depending on the season and ocean conditions, you can relax on the sand, look for sea turtles, or watch some of the massive waves the North Shore is known for during winter.
One easy itinerary would be to start your morning with coffee at Green World Coffee Farm, visit Dole Plantation, continue into Haleiwa for lunch, and spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the North Shore. This lets you experience several different sides of Oahu without spending your day driving back and forth across the island.

It’s free to visit, doesn’t require a huge time commitment, and gives you a chance to experience something a little different from Oahu’s beaches and major attractions.
I wouldn’t necessarily plan an entire day around the coffee farm or drive across the island solely to visit it. Instead, stop for a coffee, explore the garden, sample some Hawaiian coffee, and then continue on to Dole Plantation, Haleiwa, or the North Shore.
For us, it was simply a casual morning coffee date while we were living in Hawaii, but it’s one of those little memories that has stuck with me all these years later. Sometimes the smaller stops end up being just as memorable as the big attractions.
