    mermaid's Garden
    Elaine D.

    Shaylee was an outstanding barista, hospitable and warm and bright even at 6:30 in the morning. The special matcha drink, "Mermaid's Garden" comes very lightly sweetened only by the blueberry compote. The blueberries in the bottom was giving healthy boba sipping experience. I like my matcha with some sweetness, and Shaylee happily added some vanilla for me. It made all the difference. the ube whip cream on top was spectacular especially on its own. I'm craving it still. The ham and cheese croissant was perfectly toasted. It totally hit the spot and fueled me for my hike.

    The owner was super great--its women owned truck and her beans were from a local female roaster, so we loved to support that! We tried a new coffee place every morning and Kohola by far had the best cold brew on the island! She had awesome specialty lattes and sandwiches too! The beans were from Misma Lani Farms, you can buy them from her website (which we did) would totally recommend. Even though it's a food truck Old Airport Beach is right down the road where we were able to find a picnic table under a pavilion, if you're looking for a place to sit and enjoy your coffee.

    Ube latte with ube whipped cream

    Solid espresso and delicious ube flavor if you like sweet. Service is amazing!! Also you can just pull up to the window in your car;)

    don't miss kohola coffee! there are lots of coffee options around the big island and i've tried many of them, but this place stands out. there are so many options with lots of local influence which i love. i had to try the ube latte with homemade ube whipped cream and it was so delicious! service is quick and very friendly (thank you jeanette!). i will be back to try everything on this extensive menu! can't recommend enough!

    I forget what this was called but it was good and beautiful.

    We found Kohola Coffee truck. Amazing Coffee and specialty drinks. 100% look her up. She is looking for a permanent place to have her coffee truck so google her and see where she has landed. You will not be disappointed with the drinks.

    Literally the best iced ube latte. I got it with the ube whipped cream, which she makes herself!

    Outstanding coffee. Great flavors but not too sweet. I've tried four flavors in two days. They're all great.

    I was so excited to try this place, and the excitement was definitely earned! We decided to stop in…read morefor dinner. There are so many yummy things on the menu that it was so hard to decide, but I decided on a crunch wrap and my husband ordered a burger. First off, I love how the restaurant is set up with almost food-truck atmosphere and outdoor seating. That's so perfect for such a wonderful area and beautiful weather. The two employees working, which I believe are the owners, were super nice and genuinely happy to help us. I ended up asking a few more questions while we waited for our food, and they were very helpful. Due to their input, I ended up also getting a cheesecake slice (yum) and dole whip (for the first time, and holy *!+$! it was sooo good I've been dreaming about it since!). Our food was available pretty quickly, and it looked amazing! My husband greatly enjoyed his burger, which is saying something since he's all about veggie burgers now (recent convert to vegetarian, so still extremely discerning). My crunch wrap was AMAZING! Everything about it was so good. The dipping sauce was fantastic, and I would have that for virtually every meal if I could. The crunch wrap was perfectly hot and full of all sorts of yummy! The tortilla was toasted well and wasn't just a boring white tortilla: I'm pretty sure it was a wheat tortilla with a great flavor. I wish I lived closer. I'd be here all the time. Until then, I'll wear my merch with pride and continue dreaming about dole whip and crunch wraps!

Jackfruit nachos - 4/5 - hefty bowl of jackfruit nachos with lots of toppings! The bbq jackfruit was very good, it's on the sweet side but that's how bbq sauce is. More vegan queso would have been nice too as it kind of got overwhelmed by the other flavors. Kona sunset drink - 4/5 - very pretty drink and not too sweet Cashew cheesecake - 3/5 - super dense dessert. Also not too sweet but had kind of a weird cashew flavor to it. Not sure what it is, but overall, not bad!

    Cute bakery and cafe during our visit to the Big Island…read more It was a pretty long line to the door when we got there around 9am. When we got to the front, it looked like the regular croissants were already out but it seemed like the breakfast croissant was still available so it was an easy choice for us to choose this since pictures online looked good as well as the customer demolishing the sandwich from his seat across the room. We also ordered a passion fruit tart and Strawberry cinnamon roll for food and got a latte as well as a morning Kona coffee shake for myself. We asked for our drinks to go but there was a small mix-up since the receipt stated both "For Here" and "To go". Apologies!! as we know it may have caused some frustration during the busy morning rush. Overall, I enjoyed this place would love to return to just enjoy the big open space and more of their food and drink options.

    Spacious bakery and cafe on the Big Island. Limited parking so be prepared to look for street…read moreparking and there was a pretty long line right after it opened so it took about 45 minutes from lining up to getting our order. I ordered an iced mac nut latte and a lilikoi pastry. Unfortunately there wasn't any mac nut syrup in either of the lattes we ordered, but the pastry was delicious. It is a very religious cafe- lots of Christian themed merch, decor and even the wifi password. I'm sure it's a great place for religious related meet-ups but it may be the most religious forward bakery/cafe I've ever been to.

    Came here around 9am on Saturday. Wasn't too busy, we were able to order right away and find…read moreseating. The place is super comfy with really cute decor. And their staff is super nice! First off, their macadamia ice cream is really really good! Creamy, thick, sooo tasty! We also ordered: Epic Feisty Tacos - 5/5 - comes with three tacos and spicy sauce. The tacos are super tasty and perfectly balanced spicy, savory, tangy flavors. The lemon herb chik'n is also so good, you can't even tell it's vegan. The tortillas are a bit on the crumbly side, but still equally tasty as a taco bowl. Definitely would recommend this dish if you love spicy tacos! Epic journey nachos - 4/5 - the toppings on the nachos taste similar to the feisty tacos. The chips are more like baked tortillas with a crispy exterior and softer center. Journey Classic Crepe and Blueberry macnut crepe - 3/5 - The crepe itself was a bit thick, I'd describe it as more of a pancake than a crepe as crepes should be super thin. Still pretty good though all together, fruity and sweet. Latte with oat milk - 4/5 - a bit on the bitter side but not a bad latte! Asian salad - 4/5 - good salad, vegan meat is well seasoned and everything pairs well together. It wasn't very Asian tasting though, more like a Mexican-Asian fusion salad.

    I was originally a bit skeptical about vegan chicken tacos, but these were surprisingly delicious…read more That's saying a lot, coming from a mostly paleo eater! I particularly enjoyed their strawberry shake, which was so refreshing. I noticed that they also have a coffee one, which means I'll need to stop in again next time I'm in Kona. in spite of walking in during a busier time of day, service was quick both while putting in the order and waiting for our food to come out of the kitchen. The decor is a visually fun and engaging mix of greenery and art designed to keep diners feeling cooler in Kona's heat. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Even if you're not committed to vegetarian or vegan food, there's a lot to like, especially if you're looking for something light, clean, and sweet.
