I asked for a purple coffee to go and it was served in a regular glass. When I asked if that was the to go cup she took it and poured it in a plastic cup and handed it back. It was all mixed together and looked like a regular coffee. Paid 10 dollars for a purple coffee only to get a regular looking cup of coffee. The coffee was also average. Nothing special. Wait time was about 10 minutes for the one coffee.

We were so happy to pick this spot for a coffee and chat before we departed. I loved my Ube cream foam cold brew. The kids had fun, the atmosphere is right up my alley and the kids shared a little vegan lemon cake. Lots nearby to walk to and parking was sufficient.

Among our favorite local coffee shops we visited in Kona. While still placing a lot of emphasis on quality coffee, they also offer up a variety of other fun, still regional, drink options with. Very inclusive set of alternatives.Personally, best drink I had was a happy little ube sweet cream white mocha. Weird right? But DELICIOUS.My husband loved the plain coffee, the “froshaka,” and the custard pastries. Overall, a great little find. We love that’s it’s a cute shop, too. Inviting and bright, with indoor and outdoor seating. Plants everywhere to add a sense of freshness and green.We’ll be back next time we’re in Kona!

The quality of the food and options are great but not justified for the price to quantity ratio. I ordered two slices of the smoked Ahi toast for $18 and there was little to no Ahi. Quite expensive to be skimped on the protein. Otherwise would’ve been great.

Drinks are slow to be made and often arrive out of order. Cold brews pulled from a tap are completed quickly. Espresso drinks seem to take 10 minutes to complete, and cocktails depend on how old the bartender is; we had to wait 15 minutes for someone old enough to come back from their break to get mixed. Prices are very high (8oz roasted whole beans for $40) and aren't in line with the quality of service.

Cinnamon roll was fresh and flavorful! Would’ve been even better warm, but was still delicious as it was.
