11 Best Cafes in Kailua Kona

“It was delicious and great service!“

“This was not only the best latte I had in Kona, but honestly the best latte I’ve ever had.
The details matter and this spot knows it.
From the chocolate covered coffee bean on the top of the cup, to the actual shot of espresso. It was so delicious. Extra points for being a shop that’s open early.
The chocolate macadamia nut cookie was also delicious.
This place packs a punch for being a coffee truck.“

“They make proper espresso coffee here. We're from Australia so have to navigate that in US they put a lot more milk in than we do. Anyway the barista was great and we had 8oz size, 2 shot latte. All v tasty. They had great bagels to go which we got for our trip over the Saddle Road. For those with little kids, they had a lovely set up for kids to play in like a mini cafe with fake food etc, plus kids books etc. A lovely place.“

“New favorite breakfast / cafe spot in Kona. Everything exceeded our expectations from the food to the service to even the fun table markers they put on the table when you order. Probably one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had in all of Hawaii (don’t forget to add peanut butter) and something about the way they cook their eggs in the jet lag wrap is drool worthy. Have not been able to enjoy their coffees but they have so many fun options. Will definitely be back…. All the time.“

“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!“

“This is a nice family owned business with convenient hours and location. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm a vegetarian, so I tried the Vegetable Fried Rice. It was decent. The portion was extremely large. I was able to get two meals out of it. Based on this experience, I would be willing to return and try other menu items. Service was very polite and the atmosphere was comfortable. I love the way they use their windows to display their menu!“

“The food is fabulous, so delish..highly recommend“

“La vue, les patisseries, et... le café !“

“This is a hole in the wall eatery. The food was fantastic, everything is given to you in a togo container. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, I did not want to dine in.

That being said, that is one of the best omelets I've had in a while! I got the vegetarian omelet with bacon. The pancakes are what you would expect, basic but good! The ham eggs Benedict was good. The English muffin was soft. The ube coconut pancakes were flavorful!

Would order from here again, but I would not dine in.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place wonderful Aloha vibes! Live music is also great. 😊“
