Hilo Bay Cafe and Chevron

This Chevron station sits right in downtown Hilo near the bayfront, making it the last reliable fuel before heading up Saddle Road to Mauna Kea or south toward Volcano. The attached cafe serves solid local-style plate lunches and malasadas — fuel for both your rig and your belly. Clean restrooms, decent convenience store selection, and usually the cheapest gas in town.

Hilo’s the supply hub for the entire eastern Big Island, so this is your last chance to top off and grab forgotten supplies before heading into the backcountry. The station can get busy during cruise ship days, but it’s generally quick service with multiple pumps.
