Service is poor. Of the four workers behind the counter, not one acknowledged we were there. Worker on the register was on her phone while we were standing at the register waiting to order. When she did look at us, no greeting and did not ask us what we would like. She just stood there. At this point my wife and I were the only two in the shop. The couple who came in after us ordered and received the same service. Coffee is overpriced for what it is. I thought this picture they have hanging on the wall was fitting for my experience. read more

Great stop before hitting the road to Hilo. We grabbed coffee at Kohala Coffee in Waikoloa Village on our way out of town and it was the perfect quick pick-me-up. Good coffee, friendly service, and a convenient stop before starting the drive across the island. read more

Very nice place to get coffee and decent variety of baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. We were happy with everything we ordered and prices were quite reasonable. My son especially enjoyed the apple turnover. So much that we had to order another one! The food came out fast and gave us a nice start to our day. read more

Stopped in for a nice cup of hot mocha and treated myself to a Candy Cane Mocha instead. Drink was very tasty and at the perfect temperature. Nice cozy and quiet atmosphere. read more

Came here with my daughters and wasn't impressed with the drinks. My daughter got the matcha, and it tasted like sweet milk with no matcha flavor. I ordered the salted caramel macchiato and it had a very strange taste. The only way I could describe it was a "jalapeño pepper" taste. The pesto sandwich was good tho. read more

Disappointing experience. The staff lacked organization, communication, and any real sense of attentive customer service. Instead of making customers feel welcomed or informed, the service felt disorganized and inattentive from start to finish. Orders and customer interactions were not handled efficiently, and it was clear that improving organization and prioritizing customer service should be a focus. read more

On an island famous for its iconic Kona Coffee bean, it's pretty darn important to serve a good cuppa joe, and I'm happy to report that Kohala Coffee holds true to those expectations. Kohala gives you plenty of options on how you'd like your daily java. Standard drip, pourover, cold brew, iced, espresso...lots of variety to suit your need. I went with the pourover method, as it's something I usually prefer whenever it's available, and I was happy with the brew here. One of our group members went for the Dirty Chai option and happily reported that it was "one of the best ever". If this is your jam, it has our seal of approval. To pair with our caffeinated beverages, we browsed their selection of Pastries & Sandwiches and chose a few different options. All of these have a great bun, and are worth getting as well. As a place away from the uber-touristy beach areas, I was happy to find this place for a morning java, and I'm sure you'd be happy too. read more

SO MANY CHOICES! This place is aesthetically pleasing - THE perfect ambiance and vibe! There were so many scrumptious choices on the menu that I walked away with 5 drinks for my daughter and I since they were closing at 2 today so I wouldn't be able to come back this evening: Honey Lavender Cold Brew (for now) and White Hot Chocolate (for tonight because Waikoloa is COLD at night) for me and a Vanilla Latte for my daughter while we're sharing the Pink Starburst and Lilikoi Colada energy drinks this afternoon. I sampled all of them and they are ALL so good. Service was great - I'm so sorry I didn't get the young man's name - and FAST! I'm going back tomorrow and the morning I leave Kona. Thanks, Kohala Coffee!! read more

A great find! Coffee, tea, and chocolate drinks, along with energy drinks, sodas, etc. Oat, soy, and coconut milk options. Pastries, breakfast sandwiches on bagels or croissants, muffins. The perfect stop for a quick and easy breakfast. Order placed and ready quickly. I like the atmosphere here. Lots of funky art on the walls, plenty of tables, and even a little picnic table for little kids. read more

Coffees are great. Sandwiches are ok. They r so light on the fillings. One slice of ham very thin. More bread than anything. But coffee is good. read more

It's very yummy! I stopped by for a quick coffee and it did not disappoint. The staff are also very kind and the give is cute.

Walking in here has a chill vibe, it actually reminds me of Greece with all the blue and white stone tones. Big room with lots of seating areas, only one ordering station so o can see this place getting a long line but from what I've seen so far they are fairly organized and move quickly. The music on the overhead speakers or chill island music with the likes of Jack Johnson and some Bruno Mats thrown in the mix. Art canvas pieces fill the white walls and a neon blue quote, "maybe coffee is addicted to me?" Anyways, I recommend the Haupia Latte with coconut milk and coconut shavings and pair it with a sausage egg biscuit (when their oven is working lol). You won't be disappointed, give these guys a try if you're in the area! Mahalo team for the sweet service! Aloha read more

Clean, great menu options and they even have a drive thru! My husband isnt a coffee guy but they have energy drinks (can custom flavor even sugar free options), kona brews including different flavor machiattos. Thanks to the yelper that suggested getting my machiatto less sweet my banana bread machiatto was perfect. The breakfast sausage egg and cheese biscuit was well made as well (better than starbies). Shout out to the staff that was very friendly read more

Absolutely so yummy. I go here almost every morning. Fast, efficient an very friendly staff

It was pretty good. We asked for our iced mochas with half the sweetener and they were still too sweet. I wasn't a huge fan of the taste. We got a few biscuit and bagel sandwiches that were average. We will probably just go to Hico again next time. read more

Must've went on an off day. It wasn't even 10am and the place was nearly empty. Most of the menu items were sold out so we were limited on what to select. Someone in my group opted for a regular house coffee, which came super super super hot. Be careful. I got an iced matcha latte. They handed me a hot drink, and I felt bad asking them to remake it. Drinking a hot matcha in 90 degree weather isn't ideal. The taste itself was so sweet it overpowers the matcha, which says a lot. Overall, disappointing, so we won't be coming back. read more

Great coffee spot! Energy drinks were tasty and packed a punch of caffeine. My wife was especially enamored with the POG flavor. Hot chocolate was delicious, creamy and sweet. We had bagels and croissants as well, all in all, a solid little breakfast. The staff was very kind and attentive, happy to offer ice cubes or extra milk to cool down my daughter's hot chocolate. The place itself is large inside, tastefully decorated, and they have board games and kids books available for patrons. Loved it! read more

This was the tastiest coffee we had our whole trip!! Service was fast. Space was roomy read more

Five stars! Highly recommended! Kohala Coffee Company is a new company that opened in the Waikoloa Village area. The food was great and the coffee, as always on the Big Island, was super ono! Prices were great and the employees were friendly. They have a drive thru also. if in town, come and visit this place. read more

What a gem of a place. Tucked away in the back of a new strip mall in Waikoloa Village. Great coffee, great service, many delicious food options and at wildly reasonable prices. So clean and new inside too. Lots is seating. So glad we found this place even on our last day on the island. read more

Good coffee. Ask for half or quarter pumps if you don't like super sweet. Staff is always friendly and makes great recommendations. Cute little inside seating read more

Pretty average coffee spot. I mean, honestly I much prefer a Starbucks. The food menu is limited and uninteresting. The coffee was average - not bad, nothing is come back for. IDK. It's Kona-adjacent so you'd expect something amazing. I don't get the rave reviews. They also don't have cream and sugar out so you have to ask for it and can't control it. I don't care for that. read more

We loved this coffee shop! The pasties were delicious as were the lattes. They were open at 6am which was a plus. Friendly and quick service. read more

The coffee selections are creative and we'll executed. We tried the Banana Fosters Cold Brew and Caramel Macchiato. The food was excellent and hit the spot. We tried bagel sandwiches, biscuit sandwich, and various pastries. Great stop for breakfast when headed from Waikaloa to Hilo for a day trip! The cafe has plenty of seating and pleasant music and a good volume. read more

Genuinely friendly staff. Clean! They are always cleaning! Good latte yesterday, with a very good orange mini loaf size muffin. I parked myself there for a few hours while waiting for my car to be repaired. So later I had a bagel w/cream cheese. Also very good. read more

If you're working remote and looking for a cafe in Waikoloa this is pretty much your only choice. Fortunately it's a decent place to work. They have WiFi and the far wall from the entrance has at least 8 receptacles, though the seating near them is sparse (threeish tables). It can get pretty loud so make sure you have noise-cancelling headphones. I'd say the average patron stays here 15-20 minutes max since most are tourists getting coffee before going sightseeing. The chai latte is good and the service is fast and accommodating (they were able to modify my bagel sandwich order to be vegetarian, since there wasn't a veggie sandwich option on the menu). Main things I'd improve is the hours (I think it's soft opening so they close at 2pm, which is kind of rough if you need to work somewhere all day), the side door that slams randomly by wind, and occasional light flicker, but nothing that deterred me from coming back to work here again the very next day. Can't emphasize enough: noise-cancelling headphones will significantly improve your experience if you want to work remote here. For those who drive EVs, chargers are like a 30 second walk away from this location. read more

Amazing pour over coffee with a blend of island coffee beans. Also great nitro and breakfast . Friendly service and cute spot.

The coffee and pastries are really good, doesn't cost too much either so that's another plus. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

This little coffee shop in Waikoloa Plaza has been a very welcome addition and a long time desire by Waikoloa residence.
