    punatic wrap with turkey
    Tiana H.

    food - perfect spot for a quick bite! i tried the punatic wrap with turkey and a smoothie and both were really fresh and good! prices were also very reasonable. service - super friendly staff and quick service! ambiance - small cafe with some outdoor seating, wifi is also available for getting some work done

    Amazing wraps and great experience! I ordered online and picked up in store. super convenient with plenty of parking. The space is clean, trendy, and welcoming. Chic decor. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are outdoor tables if you want to sit and enjoy your food. I tried the Sunrise Pesto Wrap and the Breakfast Burrito both were delicious. Also, don't skip the the cookies... seriously, insanely good. I also liked their latte and my boyfriend liked the cold brew

    Stopped by for a sandwich to bring for the plane ride home. Superman was fantastic!!!! Beef with cheese and onions with au jus. It was small though. Also had the turkey bacon avocado which wasn't as good. Lilikoi lemonade was very sour. They had a bunch of yummy baked goods on the counter but didn't try em. Decent overall!!! You order at the counter and either take a seat or wait for them to pack your food to go.

    Why did I come here? Based on Yelp reviews I came just to try something new. I was shocked. How did they score these reviews??? I expected to see fresh baked goods at the counter and be welcomed by a great smell of coffee. I wasn't. The menu is limited, the place feels very empty. I ordered breakfast burrito and two coffees to go. The coffee was one of the worse I've had it was watered down and very little flavor. SO WEAK! If I gave it to the homeless he would probably throw it at me. The burrito was good but I had better. I returned to my Hotel (Pacific 19) and apologized to my coffee guy for cheating on him. Waimea coffee at Kona Pacific 19 has a stand at the main entrance. Their burritos are so yummy and coffee is made the correct way with flavor.

    Tomato bisque
    Kelly L.

    Food. Tomato bisque was plain and had no cheese, tasted like canned soup. Ordered turkey sandwich. The bread was toasted and I didn't ask for toasted which made it so hard. Added extra meat but it seemed like it was not extra.

    This is NOT OK!! Dead Avo and lettuce.

    If your veggies are black and bad... DON'T place it on orders. This was not good to serve. I will not be returning.

    Breakfast burrito & cheese danish
    Allison O.

    Great spot, the breakfast burrito was fire! The freshest ingredients. The cheese danish was very soft with great flavor. The gal running the front counter was busy but remained sweet, and efficiently got drinks and food to customers. 100% would come back

    got a very berry smoothie and a gobbler wrap, super good! super sweet workers, there is about 3 bar stools for inside seating and some nice table in the shade outside. the shopping complex that the cafe is in has a great parking lot for easy parking. a good recommendation!

    Chicken salad on rye
    Nathan K.

    I was looking for a quick bite for lunch and decided to give this place a try. I'm glad I did as the chicken salad on rye sandwich as recommended by the staff was very tasty. Served with potato chips, it was just what I needed to carry me through the day. Friendly and casual spot with some counter seating indoors and tables outside. Looking forward visiting again on my next trip home to explore more of the menu.

    Hot pastrami sandwich
    Joe L.

    I ordered the TBA (turkey, bacon, avocado) in a tortilla as well as the hot pastrami on rye. First thing I would like to mention is like many other restaurants, their online menu prices are incorrect. Both these sandwiches were shown as $12 but inside the restaurant, was marked up to $14.50 each. That's a 20% increase. Now, if they need to raise their prices, so be it but please have an accurate menu! The sandwiches were tasty but they were pitifully small. When I spend over $30 for two sandwiches, I would expect them to be a bit larger. I ended up eating both sandwiches at one sitting and was not fully satiated. The other thing I found odd was that although the price was the same, only one sandwich came with chips. Not sure why that would be? They were tasty sandwiches but if you have a decent appetite, be prepared to spend over $30 to get your fill. Overall, I give it 3.5 stars.

    Thanks May for great service and leading me to the Mini Plate and the Banana Workout Smoothie! Definitely would recommend this place and it's a great location not far from the central part of Kona. Look forward to coming back soon!

    Cute coffee shop a short walk from where I grabbed breakfast at L & L. Very friendly staff that helped me decide on my drink - which ended up being an iced white chocolate peppermint mocha. Two thumbs up! They have several milk options and flavors. They also serve food , smoothies and fresh baked items.

    I was very happy to see Island Corner Cafe had opened in our neighborhood. Finally somewhere nearby that I can order a breakfast burrito! The place is cute and clean. They have a nice selection of breakfast items, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and pastries. I am not much of a coffee drinker so instead typically order a tea or matcha latte. Everything has been quick, fresh, and tastes good. The staff is friendly and works hard. This will definitely be a regular spot for us to order from!

    You want local food at great prices and you're staying on the Kona side? Then head on over here,…read morebrah. They have pretty much everything you're looking for right here in terms of island staples. And the pricepoint for their huge menu is more than reasonable. And yes, they serve the LEGENDARY Yoshino's Hamburger steak here. Luckily, they didn't run out when I arrived. As stated, there is so much going on with the menu that you will be sitting there thinking about what's good. They even have off-the-menu daily specials. Everything sounds good! So yeah, had to try the Yoshino plate that comes with two patties, rice, and mushroom gravy. Huge portion that filled me up quick. The patty is tender and just reminds me of a handcrafted burger from home, not some processed crap. You can tell that they use an old-school, bread-crumb based recipe. Comfort food at its finest. The dish came with a side of Mac salad. Their's is elite as well. They make it with tuna, and it works! It's like a meal in itself. Like I said, so many food options to choose from. There's no reason to miss out on this culinary gem if you're a fan of local food. Run, don't walk.

I had the Spicy Garlic Chicken with French Fries and a green salad ($20.95) and an Iced Tea ($5.50); my friend had the Veal Patty with mashed potatoes and potato/mac salad ($19.95) and a Diet Pepsi ($5.50). Whoa, this was a LOT OF FOOD! The Veal Patty description said two veal patties; my friend's plate contained SIX patties! He could only eat half of his meal; I managed to power through most of my plate. I don't think anyone leaves this place hungry. Recommended!

    My wife and I stopped by Paakai Poke & Deli as our first stop from the airport. Between the two of…read moreus, we split a plate with three scoops of poke -- umami ahi, furikake sea salt, and spicy salmon, along with mac salad, coconut ube and white rice with furikake, eel sauce and soy sauce. This all came out to $31.30 after tax, which is almost the same price as their large plate at $35.00, with two fewer scoops of rice. Of the items we ordered, the ube coconut was by far my favorite. I am definitely coming back again for more of this. I've never had ube in this format before, but the mild sweetness of the potato came through, and I enjoyed the chunky mashed potato texture. The next item I liked from the plate was the mac salad. I can't remember the last time I've had mac salad with this much black pepper sprinkled throughout it. The black pepper brought an unexpected amount of heat. Additionally, I thought the noodle were cooked perfectly. In most mac salads that I've had, the macaroni has been cooked far too long, but that was not the case here. I also appreciate that the mac salad was not drowned with mayo, another flaw I commonly see with this dish. Although the poke here is fresh, and the pieces are nicely cut -- all uniform in size, I thought the poke was a bit too salty, and needed to be enjoyed with the rice. The rice itself was a bit on the mushy side. Overall, we had a pretty solid meal at Paakai Poke & Deli. If you're in this area, stop by for the coconut ube -- you won't regret it.
