“🌺🤙🏽 Huge shout-out to Kohola Coffee 🐋 🙌

Every time I stop by, I leave feeling so much aloha. This coffee truck is a true gem in our community, with reasonable prices and the freshest local ingredients.

What makes it extra special isn’t just the amazing coffee, it’s the heart behind it. Jeannette built this business from the ground up, and you can feel her passion and hard work in every detail. It’s rare to find a spot that serves incredible drinks and creates such a genuine sense of community, but she’s nailed it.

Even if you’re not a coffee person, there are plenty of other delicious drinks (the matcha is my favorite) and the food always hits the spot. The convenience of the drive-through also makes it so easy to swing by and grab something tasty on the go.

Highly recommend stopping in, it’s the best coffee shop in Kona. Plus supporting a self-made local entrepreneur who pours her heart into everything she does is the best bonus! 🌴✨“

“Try the Kona Coffee Ice Cream, Da Best 😋🥰“

“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!“

“Very good food and coffee, friendly staff. However, the inside of the restaurant was bizarre with an unappealing arcade room attached. The inside could definitely use a different vibe. Almost didn’t eat here when I walked in. Glad I stayed and ate though, the patio was a nicer spot to eat and chill.“

“Nice views & great coffee! ☕️“

“This is by far our favorite breakfast place on the entire island. The view is amazing. The staff is fantastic. The food and coffee are the best that you can find! Each time we come back we buy extra beans just to take home a taste of menehune❤️“

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

“Super solid local spot. The food was exactly what you want simple, generous, and really well executed. The pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the butter + syrup combo hit perfectly.
The grilled meat was juicy, well-seasoned, and had that nice char from the grill. Mac salad and rice were classic and balanced the plate well. Portions are big, so you definitely leave full.
The vibe is chill, no fuss, and feels authentic not a tourist trap. Service was friendly and efficient.
If you’re looking for good, affordable comfort food done right, this place delivers. Would definitely come back.“

The path eventually leads to a breathtaking infinity pool, an oasis where you can relax, soak in the stunning views, and, of course, savor their exceptional Kona coffee.
Beyond the beauty and the delicious coffee, the Japanese hospitality at Doutor is truly remarkable. The staff are attentive, gracious, and make you feel incredibly welcome. Their dedication to providing a memorable experience shines through in every interaction.
