“Great gelato excellent service.“

“Stopped here on a whim for some shave ice and was pleasantly surprised! Folks working at the truck were super friendly. The syrup on the shave ice was made with real fruit!!!! We tried mango + lemon and blueberry + lemon and both were delicious. Also you can’t beat 3 shave ice and a fizzy water for less than $20!

Parking: Truck is in a gravel lot-plenty of space for parking“

“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!!“

“One of the best meals we had on the big island. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked. We went back for another the day before we departed but the store was closed for renovations. Although we were disappointed we didn't get a second chance to enjoy, we're grateful we were able to experience one of the best burgers we've ever had! Highly recommend“

“Excellent food, friendly staff, excellent experience!“

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Amazing Tacoz with unique sauces! highly recommend!“

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

“I’m not much of a reviewer but i felt the need to leave a review because they are genuinely fantastic! Not only are they so kind but their coffee is a 10/10. Just try it for yourself! You can tell they are using quality ingredients in the vanilla latte. No complaints:)“

“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. 👍🏻“

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

“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!“

“This is a cool modern vibe coffee shop. I really enjoyed the selections of coffee with local flavor options. The bread was amazing, made in house I believe and it was quite tasty. The food options are limited, but good quality. The coffee was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was nice and it had free wifi for anyone looking to relax and work. I would recommend a stop here.“

“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!“

“The people were nice, the food was delicious, including the pastries, and it is a nice little shop to have a bite to eat. Would definitely return if I come back to area.“

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

“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!!“

“Friendly staff and fantastic food 😋“

“My son and I frequent this cute business. The staff is friendly and service is good. Management treats their employees well and the teamwork and positive vibe feels great .The smoothies are good and you can choose your ingredients including making healthy choices. You can get all whole non sugar based real ingredients for your smoothies.Coffee is smooth and the baristas make the drinks properly. My son is on a strict healthy lifestyle kick with his father and the staff modifies any stuff and is so nice about modifications and answering his ingredient source questions.“

“Fantastic spot next to Magic Sands beach. We had lunch and dinner at this spot during the week. Lunch wasn't too crowded but reservations are a good idea for dinner. My family's celiacs were extremely pleased with the gluten free fish and chips.“

“Love the food We are making this our favorite food spot. The BOYB was great“

“We love poke and this place did not let us down. Very easy to understand the ordering and they had streamlined, fast service. Definitely would go back!

Only suggested upgrade is more seating. We sat down the road at another vendor’s food/shaved ice truck near the ocean.“

“This place is special. Awesome crew , killer food and amazing live music! Only a few years old and already a Kona landmark! Do yourself a flavor and get ya some Willies!!🤙🏽“

“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!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday breakfast by the water listening to a musician play great island music. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent. She was quick, knowledgeable, and the food was amazing!“

“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❤️“

“Wow, this place is amazing! The açaí bowls are HUGE, super fresh, and loaded with toppings — hands down the best we’ve had in Hawai’i. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the vibe here is so chill. Definitely a must-stop if you’re nearby. 🌺🥭🥥“

“Food o Hawaii is by far the best delivery service. Noah is the best as well!!“

“My husband got a ninja star roll and said this was some of the best sushi he’s ever had. The wait time said 2 hours when we first walked up, but we only got the 1 roll and only waited maybe 10 minutes, so we were really happy about that.

Definitely a must try when in Kona!“

“Pleasantly surprised . . My hubby didn't want to go because he said nothing in this location has ever been good. I said c'mon . . Let's give it a try. Boy did he change his mind. The smoked tri tip flat bread and tacos were AMAZING !! We both left there wanting more. So good 🥰“

“We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset while we sipped a Maitai. Followed by a delicious Caprese appetzer and the entrees which included Egg plant parmigiana and Aloha Chicken and Build your own pasta. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and extremely professional. all in all we had an excellent experience hope you try it.“

“I went to the Hilo location with my mother last night and was treated in a very racist and disgusting manner by the FOH staff. There were many empty tables yet the host avoided talking to us for a half hour. Then when I asked one of the waiters if we can sit at one of the open tables he said, "He cant let us do that" Then when I finally was able to talk to the host. He said it would be a 40 min wait for food. Ok I get it, the kitchen is swamped. So I say can we just sit right there pointing at the table he just cleaned. He says "no". Keep in mind there were at least four more empty tables. So we decided to leave. On the way out the thought comes into my mind, that he is going to seat the people who walked in behind us. So I tell my mother to wait a second and I go back in to look and there goes the host immediately seating these people bringing them water and menus. So I head back in and ask him "Whats going on here? Can I talk to a manager?" He tells me there are no managers. Then the waiter at the bar who said he couldnt do anything to let us sit down, says "I am the manager" So they lied to my face. Then I go to the bartender she barely bothers to tall to me and says "we are all managers" and that then tries to defend this discriminatory behavior by saying they are not being prejudiced against us. Yet the people behind us are chilling and going over their menus. and here we are not able to even talk to a manager never the less receive service at this racist establishment. We were systemically blocked from sitting. Then some manager esque fellow comes out trying to do damage control after all of this ongoing nonsense. To little to late. Im not going to eat spit burger with some bigot lougies in it. Mind you both my 76 year old mother have hosted various business meet ups there over the yeara bringing them business supporting Ola Brew and they treat us like this. Do not support businesses like this in Hilo. black people of Hilo be aware. This place will treat you second class. Over priced too, for the worst kind of service. dont do it, dont eat there.“

“We stopped in for a couple slices (both types of pepperoni and the veggie) they were so good we ended up getting a whole pie to take home.
Amazing service at the counter, very friendly staff. They have comics available for purchase and comic related movies playing, it’s a vibe. Highly recommend.“

“The food is awesome the owner is friendly the view is amazing ❤️“
