    Lavender latte
    Alisa K.

    Lavender latte is the best! Friendly service. WiFi ,toilet service. Spacious inside. Relax ambiance. You can stay long time

    Kohala coffee is one of my go-to spots Their banana bread cold brew latte is soooo good and the white gummy energy drink is a fave too. I will say it can be a little inconsistent sometimes depending on who's working, but when it's good it's REALLY good. Prices aren't bad at all, they have a solid rewards system, and their happy hour specials are worth it. Plus my kids are obsessed with the cookies & cream milkshakes

    Kiani and Justine were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. They ALWAYS are. They treat my client and I so very well and never get irritated with how much times I'm at their counter with yet another request. They accommodate our every need and always make us feel, not just welcomed, but also like a part of the Kohala Coffee family. Thank you ladies, you have no idea how much your positive vibes impact our day and we appreciate that oh so very much!! Oh and...as always...the coffee was perfect!! These beautiful women deserve a raise

    Is this your large? Cup is large, liquid more like a regular or even less.

    Ordered a large latte. This is what I got. Glad I took the lid off. Plus top inch is whipped cream. Sad. Won't come back. Stars for taste only. Spoke to the girl at the counter. She tried to say the liquid was higher and then cream on top. Lost one star. Customer service sucks.

    I've been coming here when they first opened during the pandemic. Customer service has always been awesome - even at the height of the pandemic, the staff was always courteous, authentic and just good people. The coffee is tasty, furniture is comfortable, prices are reasonable, WiFi is good and overall great cafe. I've hit up all the coffeeshop on Hilo side and Kohala Coffee is top notch.

    So cool! They have so many options! I wanted to try their coffee, teas, lemonades, white hot chocolate, but I was only able to go once during my stay in Pahoa. I ended up with the chai tea latte which was very good. The drive thru is open so it's safer!

    Waiting to order.

    We got the honey lavender and s'mores cold brew. Honey lavender taste exactly what it sounds haha. It's good. The staff here are super personable and nice. Although, the coffee isn't that strong. Kinda taste watered down.

    First time visiting this cute coffee shop. It's new in Pahoa and the ladies working while I visited were friendly. Seems like a great place to grab something to drink and meet up with friends.

    Pretty solid coffee in the area, a little pricer but the hours open are really good as well

    Just realized I didn't take any pictures. Sad! Well let me paint one for you…read more If you're missing your fancy big city food then this is the place to come. While they appear to be a casual, local, hippy establishment (and they are). The food and wait is worth every penny, (and pennies are more valuable now). You will hear live music when you approach building. It's bright and colorful, open air and you can feel your inner artist being inspired. The place is packed but you find a seat and listen to the laughter, singing, and sizzles from the kitchen. It's small and bundles of fruit seam to just be around everywhere. Your server gives you a menu and you think. "Oh wow! That's a bit pricy." But you're all in. Considering this place is proud of its farm to table reputation. Yes, nothing goes to waist here and it as fresh as you can possibly get. So you order and wait. And you wait, and you wait. Finally the plate arrives and it's beautiful. A paradise of fruit, veggie filled omelet and some things you're not sure if you can eat them or if it's just decoration. (You can eat them) Have you ever heard of a cranberry hibiscus? I'm not a fan of salsa with my eggs but they make their own from scratch and they also sell it. So I have to at least try it. "What is in this! Magic?" Before you know it a whole days life experience has just happened. There were ups, there were downs, and surprises. Not just from the food but the whole surroundings. Let's just say nothing was left on the plate and I have stories to tell. Our server was the sweetest older lady who you can tell just loved her job and people. In fact all the workers were just rays of sunshine and smiles. Did I just have breakfast or walk into a magical world where time stood still and surrounded me in song and colors. I swear I don't do substances, it's just that good.

    Fresh fruits are served with your meal. I have ordered pancakes and their homemade tropical syrups…read moreare so delicious! Highly recommend
