50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Holualoa

“We had an amazing coffee flight tasting. Not only did we have coffee to sample but they did pairing with products that they make from the farm. Justin was our coffee tour guide. He was great. We also did their game trying to identify the oils by smelling them. It was the best experience for coffee tasting in Kailua Kona area. I highly recommend it.“

“Beautiful grounds, a view to die for, excellent coffee and the help are wonderful!!! A tour well worth your time!“

“It was delicious and great service!“

“What an easy 5 star review to write!!! The quality of the coffee here is outstanding as well as kind and fantastic customer service. I tried the dirty coffee and vanilla bean latte (both were delicious!). This is the coffee stop that I can't stop talking about!! My only regret is not going every day of my vacation. I would highly recommend this spot!!“

“Ate here today with my wife on our honeymoon. We were originally going to eat a restaurant on the ocean but I saw the reviews and decided we had to give this a try. The Ono fish tacos lived up to the hype. Best fish tacos we’ve had in America. Thanks again!“

“We learned so much and Carlos was a great tour guide! It’s so interesting and informative! I highly recommend this tour. Everyone was friendly and answered all of our questions!“

“Awesome, fresh food with healthy options! And so close to work!! 😁“

“WOW! These are the best donuts I have ever had. We came here with our young family of 6 and started out with 6 donuts and ended up licking the box clean and got another 6. They are perfected, delicious but not too sweet so you can eat and eat! also they are not your regular donut so ask about the flavors!!“

“Always our first stop for breakfast when we get to the Island.“

“My family had just gotten out the airport after flying from San Francisco and we were hungry. The kids wanted hamburgers and so we found Ultimate Burger. It was one of the best hamburgers we have ever had. We still talk about it and its been three weeks since we were in Hawaii. I myself loved the Spicy Lava Burger and would do anything to have it again. It was that good.“

“Hands down phenomenal! Rosie was a great server and took great care of us. The lemonade was unbelievably good and the food was top tier. I'm glad that Kealakekua has a restaurant of this caliber. Get the party pack of sauces, you won't regret it.“

“Clean tables, friendly staff, roomy and THE BEST WAFFLE WE EVER HAD!!!! Gotta do the CHANTILLY WAFFLE ! We loved the Big Island Grill so much, we went three times for breakfast during our vacay. Hubby LOVED the Loco Moco. I wish this restaurant existed in our town 💕 and seriously the chantilly waffle deserves an award ⭐️“

“Great gelato excellent service.“

“We got the beef bowl and some shave ice and it was so good we decided to get more to go (Curry rice and Spam Musubi) and let me tell you, this place is soo good. Best Japanese Curry I’ve ever had possibly. The seating area had some friendly cats and hens roaming around which honestly added to the experience!“

“I was looking up ice cream spots near me during a stay this past week and saw all the glowing reviews and knew I had to try it. Went yesterday a few hours before my flight home and it did not disappoint. I had guava and passionfruit in sweet cream and it was fantastic! So so good. Owner was friendly and nice to chat with :) I only wish I could have tried more flavors but not a bad problem to have ;)“

“Great gelato excellent service.“

“My husband and I ate there when we were famished and the food came out quickly and hot. The seafood platter was delicious and contained shrimp, breaded squid, breaded oysters and breaded white fish. That was my husband’s dish and he truly enjoyed it. I, on the other hand had grilled mahi mahi, green salad, onion rings and beef stew. We both tried everything and the food was to our liking. The staff was very accommodating when we asked for e tea lemons and a to-go set up (bag & container). The restaurant was clean and the food was hot, quick and delicious! Kuddos for a meal and job well done!“

“Lovely Coffee Shop! Five Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I absolutely adore this place and go out of my way to enjoy it“

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.“

“Our food was delicious and made to order. Kalua Loco moco was the first for me but so glad I tried it. Husband had the fresh ahi tuna sandwich, cooked great. 👍🏻“

“I ordered an Acai smoothie with almond butter drizzle. And my mom got a mocha frappe. Both were very delicious! This coffee shop has plenty of parking and seating inside is ample. Great place for families, remote workers or a place to chat with a friend. The baristas were super friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. They have vegan options for drinks here and food. And I loved that they also sold locally made sourdough bread and tons of other goodies sold by local artists and bakers! We also got the chia peanut butter bites that were delicious! You gotta try them! I would highly recommend coming here! They have such a diversity of drink and smoothie and Acai bowl options that you won’t have a hard time finding a drink or snack you like!“

“This place was recommended to is by a friend of m8ne who lives on Oahu. When you walk into the store it smells like heaven..many different items to choose from. The staff there is very friendly ans accommodating. Bought to much but ate it all.😋😋😋😋 Highly recommend you visit if you are in Kona.“

“We love this place because the coffee is so good. Staff kind and knowledgeable. They offer a cool mail order service with nice savings to keep you supplied with beans. Great gift shop. A fun time in Naalehu.“

“We stayed at the Marriott and swung in to the coffee shop for breakfast. The drinks were perfect - latte had a nice layer of foam, and a heart to boot. The Ube cold brew was unexpectedly delicious - easy to see why it's a staff pick! We tried two different croffles and honestly I dont know why people make real waffles anymore, when they can have one of these instead. The waffle was PERFECTION, layered and crispy and buttery and chewy in the best ways. I ordered the garlic bread grilled cheese and would eat it every day if I had the chance. The chips were nicely seasoned too! Breakfast sandwich was eaten too fast by my husband to take a picture, but I heard it was good.

2 drinks, 2 croffles, grilled cheese and a breakfast sandwich was $58 before tip. Definitely reasonable considering island pricing (I actually think I pay more for a large latte in Minnesota than we paid here!)

11/10 would recommend - we'll probably go back for breakfast tomorrow!“

“Underrated place… a hidden gem focusing on quality ingredients. Good place to bring kids to play arcade style games for a very little amount of money. The owners seem like very kind and genuine people. They should be proud of this place. 100% worth checking it out. Could be a staple in Kona in the future!“

“This was the culinary highlight of our trip to the big island! Sam and Jennifer are super kind in explaining the business-all local ingredients! Premium ingredients (local chocolate, Kona hinted brownies-Mac nut base ice cream)-wowza! Serious stuff! Come support this incredible shop. Yum!“

“Loved our coffee from Waikoloa Village that we kept going back for more! Now we're home and had to order some for the house!“

“Having a paint party on there lanai , they have the best Kona coffee and chai in town“

“This was an awesome experience for a (know-it-all) home roaster from Arkansas (me). I highly recommend the roasting tour to any coffee connoisseurs. Thanks for a great experience!“

“We loved this place…the king combo meal was amazing and plenty of food to share between two of us. The pork and bulgogi were so tender and flavored perfectly. We were introduced to bingsu and life will never be the same…the texture, the flavor, the portions, the “real” ingredients were simply wonderful. Service was a little slow a couple of times (we went 5 times) but it was because it was so busy and popular. Put this place on your must-do for Kona! Oh, and don’t get me started on the mochi donuts!“

“This was the best meal I had on the island. I had a bento box with the Kalua Pork and spicy jungle sauce. Great flavor and the serving size was large. Dragonfruit lemonade was also a good treat! Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic Acai bowls. We visited recently from the UK and as soon as we discovered them we returned every day until we left!!“

“Think of a more local L&L’s, similar plates, less pricey, very filling, and more options! We ordered a teriyaki chicken plate for our two kids and split a seafood combo for dinner and we still had leftovers. Great portions, value, and open later than most places. Definitely recommend!“

“we got the drifter large açaí bowl (32oz, $18). it was absolutely delicious with generous quantities. i really enjoyed the nice crunch of the cacao nibs and granola. i do think the açaí base was a tad bit more watery than i prefer, but overall i’m still very very satisfied.“

“Family owned. The food is excellent, and cooked in a traditional way. The staff is friendly. Located in the International Market Place. It's a hidden gem!“

“Our server Angel was amazing! Super friendly, prompt and engaging!“

“AMAZING food! The service was just as amazing as the food. Definitely Celiac safe and great for vegans also. They take food allergies very seriously. Our new fav restaurant in Kona and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Perfect spot on Ali’i drive. Went there twice in a day because it was THAT good! Day or night it’s a great spot to get a frozen drink, hangout in a comfy chair and enjoy the view. The staff is fantastic and great to talk to. Will be going back!“

“I have always loved the smell of coffee, but unfortunately could not get past the acidic taste. Kona coffee café introduced me to Peaberry Kona coffee. This is the first time that I have ever been able to drink coffee let alone really enjoy it. The friendly staff explained how the volcanic soil and the timing of picking the bean changed the acidity in the coffee. Since being home, I’ve already placed an order and I am enjoying my coffee every morning. Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing drink!“

“Previous to this I had poke one time and didn’t like it. I followed the advice of a fellow tourist who said I had to try Da Poke Shop and if I didn’t like that then I truly don’t like poke. Well, after my visit I can say I really like poke! Da Poke Shop was great! I had the bowl, and got a scoop of spicy garlic and shop special with a side of seaweed salad and white rice. It was awesome! I’ll be back the next time I’m in the area. Eat here, you won’t regret it!“
