Rest room was out of order, which can make it tough as it's a coffee place lol. No big meals to be had here, but good for a light breakfast or lunch or to pick up some sweet treats and coffee, chais, lattes.

This was a great surprise! We came here to go to da bead shop, we parked right in front of this…read morerestaurant before they opened, on the way back they had opened up. We each got something different my favorite was the cheesesteak ! The bread is amazing (they make their own bread and you can tell) I added their own spicy mustard and it took the sandwich to the next level, My sister has the mushroom burger and she loved it too. We also had a keki menu the chicken and rice my two year old was thrilled. We ended the meal with two cookies a rocky road and a macadamia we loved the macadamia we took one to go.

No matter how hard I tried, it seems that our food just disappears within 5 minutes. I LOVE their…read moreCoconut Curry. Big chunks of Ono, plump shrimp, and mouth watering curry sauce. I just cannot resist. Can't take my time, nor pace myself. It is so good, you'll want more when you cleaned your plate. Do try their desserts! Lilikoi cheesecake is a must, but also raspberry Lava Cake was heavenly. Wonderful service. Great food. Every time we eat here.

If heaven has a lunch counter overlooking the Pacific, I think I found it…read more The Coffee Shack isn't just about the view (and trust me, the view alone is worth the drive)--it's about everything that comes with it. Let's start with the sandwiches. The Hawaiian bread is absolutely incredible. Soft, slightly sweet, fresh, and honestly the best sandwich bread I've ever had. Every bite made me wonder why every sandwich in the world isn't served on Hawaiian bread. Then came the pizza. Authentic, artisan island flavor with a homemade crust that tasted like it had been infused with fresh rosemary and other garden herbs. The pineapple and ham tasted wonderfully fresh, making the classic Hawaiian pizza feel like it was invented right here. And then there's the balcony. You look out over the emerald-green Kona coffee slopes as they tumble down to the brilliant blue waters of Kealakekua Bay. The Pacific stretches to the horizon, sailboats drift across the bay, and on a clear day you can even spot the Captain Cook Monument across the water. It's the kind of view that makes you forget your phone...at least until you realize you need to take another picture. Come hungry. Stay awhile. Order dessert and another cup of Kona coffee. You'll leave wondering if you came for lunch or for one of the most beautiful dining views in Hawaii. Mahalo, Coffee Shack--you've spoiled me for every sandwich and pizza that follows.

Delicious food with kind service. The coffee was super good with the macadamia nut milk…read more The papaya itself wasn't sweet and didn't really taste like anything. Finals thought it would be a yogurt bowl, but it was only a spoonful of yogurt. The eggs Benedict's had great flavor, and the fish tasted sooo good with the hollandaise sauce . The omelet was very cheesy and we loved the cheese pull. While the cheesecake was good, the crust needs work. It's pretty hard and we couldn't break it up easily. Cookie was dry and not something we would get again. The bar was also pretty hard, but the flavors were nice.

Everything seems to be made to order, and the sandwich was loaded with flavor and all of the ingredients tasted super fresh. The strawberry bingsoo was probably the best shave I've I've ever had. Fresh strawberries with whipped cream and incredibly fine shave ice. Wish they had this back on Oahu. Definitely drop by if you're in Kona!

Stopped in for a drink and lite dessert and was not disappointed!…read more Drink: strawberry ade refresher. Perfect amount of bubbles and strawberry purée. Dessert: Mango bingsoo: the shaved ice was so fluffy. I first thought it was finely shaved coconut , but it was a creamy shaved ice. Nice and sweet with generous chunks of ripe mango and almost ripe mango for a nice firmer mouth feel. Service: the service provided from order to pick up was excellent.

The food here is affordable and the portions are great! I got the furikake chicken bowl, which was around $10. They really load it up with chicken and rice. I didn't taste a lot of furikake in my chicken, but it was still good overall. The plaza has lots of parking and the service was quick. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by.

I ordered the meat Jun and furikake chicken combo plate with Mac salad which I enjoyed. However, the furikake chicken had a lot of pieces that felt like just skin or batter, only a handful of pieces that were real chunks of chicken. Mac salad was good. Meat Jun was about average. My mom had the kalbi and Korean chicken combo plate which she was not impressed with. She thinks it might've been overcooked or refried. She says she would not order again. Also should note that the seafood menu is not fresh caught, if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise, for the prices it's worth a stop!

We went at about 10:00 on a Wednesday morning and lucked out with the last parking spot. They have a cute outdoor seating area as well as tables inside. The place was busy with people on their laptops and families enjoying their morning coffee and snacks. We got haupia latte and a brown sugar latte. They asked if we wanted it hot or cold and we both chose cold. They also have hats, t shirts, jackets with their logo on it. The t shirts were nice but kinda pricey at $35.00. Service was quick and really no complaints. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in Kona.

And, despite hardly having anyone else in the restaurant, there was no real concern to seat us nor take our orders. There was only one person running the front - bussing, waiting, register, and cafe. They were really trying their best. When the food arrived, which was quickly, everything tasted great. Lots of available coffee beans to purchase, farm fresh. The bathroom and restaurant could also use a good cleaning.
