I got an americano and someone with me got a latte with macadamia milk. I think we just got burnt espresso shots. There were no vegan baked goods out.

We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed spending time there. Great coffee and little things to eat.

I had the oatmeal which was vegan, and my husband had the yogurt and granola (he's vegetarian). Both were really good. For coffee, we went with traditional drip, and it was fantastic. Staff was friendly. Space was great. Would visit again. Updated from previous review on 2024-12-08

The place that sells 100% Kona coffee, where you can enjoy your coffee comfortably both indoors and outdoors.

The coffee is good! However if you’re looking for a spot to work, this probably isn’t it. I was hoping to charge my computer for a bit after use and one of the staff quickly ran over to inform me that they don’t allow people to use the outlets and there are no outlets that they allow customers to use. Another customer had just charged his computer for a good 20 minutes without trouble. This was going to be my go-to spot for coffee but I’ll be looking elsewhere for my trip.

Constant leaf blowers outside no matter what morning I’ve went. If drinking coffee next to a road with constant leaf blowers is your thing, go for it. If you want a relaxing coffee go elsewhere. Typical American coffee shop otherwise, the usual syrup drinks and plastic cups for everyone, and no real food. Don’t forget to tip. Very disappointing.

Great people, great atmosphere. I always recommend this place to people who visit. Everyone here is very kind and welcoming, and there’s great merchandise to choose from if you’re interested. Their coffee is great, and I honestly think it’s some of the best on the island (also it’s locally grown!)

(p.s If it’s in season, I highly recommend their pumpkin spice latte. They make their puree in house and it’s delicious. Also, they have a great mamaki mint tea, it’s so good!)

This place is serving the best coffee in Kona. The competition is HiCO, while they have a larger choice of coffee drinks, the regular espresso-based drinks with milk are not as good.

I tried the cortado and cappuccino and both were outstanding. I tried an iced latte for fun later and had a blast. Careful, the caffeine amount in the drinks was quite high, make sure not to overdose on caffeine :-)

Their food selection sucks. They don’t have much. But I tried their salmon and cream cheese bagel and it was delicious.

It’s a popular place, so you may have to wait a bit to get your order. It took me a good 15 if not 20 minutes to place my order and get it. But it was worth it.

I highly recommend this place if you are into coffee, you won’t be disappointed.

I thought they sold acai bowls, but they said they don't have any anymore, so I had chia seed pudding and it was delicious.
Is it okay to just add chia seeds to coconut milk...? Should I have asked you to tell me? LOL
Even now that I’m in Korea, I’m curious about the recipe ㅠㅠ
I tried the single origin pour over and liked it so much that I bought coffee beans and made a pour over at home and it tasted almost the same!
I went in just before the end, and it was nice to see Kona locals quietly working and drinking tea.

The best coffee in Kona. When I travel to Kona. After the airport this is my first stop, my last stop and all in between. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Nice place to stop for coffee drinks, gifts. Spent the least on drink, a kombucha type. The rest of purchases were coffee and Mac nut gifts;sic souvenirs. Nice variety for one stop shopping.

Best coffee I’ve had in the US. Refreshing as an Australian to see a flat white on the menu
