    Ube Banana Bread - so purple and equally as delicious
    Ruchi J.

    What a VIBE Loved the ambiance, the hawaiian flavors (ube! matcha! more!) and treats (chimney cake! banana bread! more!) available on their menu. I got the Hilo Ube hot latte and my friend got the iced version. I ended up liking the iced version more (also because it comes with a purple cream on top which is always a delight) so I will probably get that next time. I also got the ube banana bread which ended up being a great snack during my hike later that day.

    I've known about Kona Island Coffee from when they had their coffee truck in Sunnyvale. So I was excited to hear they finally opened a brick-and-mortar cafe. The interior is spacious & nicely-decorated, though I wonder if it could be better optimized. Such as: the amount of seating, and where the napkins & utensils are located. The service is good; the staff are friendly & the wait times are reasonable even when crowded. The centerpiece of Kona Island Coffee... is naturally the Kona coffee. I'm not the most attuned to the subtleties, but I can say it tastes pretty good. I've tried a few of their lattes & enjoyed most. The Kamoa Mocha, with raspberry & coconut, is quite unique. (I wish they brought back the salted caramel Kīlauea Mocha though.) The Hilo Latte has some good ube & taro flavor. However, the Kona Island Latte was underwhelming & not really worthwhile, since the macadamia & coconut were too subtle. I tried some food as well. The ube-banana bread is decent but not spectacular. But, the Nutella Chimney Cake was 100% worth it. It takes some time to make, but it comes out hot & fresh. Kona Island Coffee has some opportunities for improvement, but they have a good foundation. I'll likely return every so often since their menu is distinct from most other cafes.

    Loved the decor of the place - simple, modern, yet inviting. There's plenty of parking too. You can order from the kiosk or at the counter. Service was quick. I was hoping to order crepes as I'd seen on Yelp; but, those were unavailable. The food readily available were the chimney cones, ube banana bread and Hawaiian bread. Needless to say, I was disappointed and unfortunately the drinks were not as expected. Very light in flavor. We ordered the hot Kona Island and hot Hilo latte. Unsure if we'll be back to give it another shot.

    Experience (3/5 stars): *Drink: kona island latte was ok, not too sweet *Food: ube banana cake was dry, lacked the ube and banana flavor *Price: $7 for coffee Overall, it's a no for me. :(

    A nice addition to the area! The lattes, chimney cone, and service... all pretty good. The lattes were not overly sweet, which is my preference. Everything was served hot as soon as finished. (The Chimney Cone requires a short wait.) There is some seating both inside and out. Parking may be a challenge during peak hours, but there is a garage nearby, if need be. Come check them out!

    Grand opening day. It was busy when we arrived around 9 am. Line move pretty steady. You can order via the 2 touch screen or at cashier. Itvis faster to order via touch screen kiosk. It serves Kona coffee , cold and hot. There are are many interesting coffee choices and I never have many of them. They also serve pour over and looks like sell coffee beans. The coffee is on the light side and that sweet which is good. The chimney cake is made to order so it is served hot. The chimney cake is yummy. It is like layer. I like the pistachio one. Overall it was good experience and they did good job on grand opening.

    Saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try authentic coffee from Kona immediately. Location is nice, neat, and has plenty of areas to sit and relax. Parking garage is close by. Did self order so not too much interaction with the staff, but they seemed nice and welcoming. Coffee was good, nice spot to get. Got the matcha also which was more on the light, creamy coconut taste with coconut shavings. Though I prefer a much deeper matcha taste.

    I visited Kona Island Coffee when they had their trailer in front of Fremont High School back in 2023 and noticed they had a store front when I was visiting the business next door. This is their first and only store front and what a beautiful space inside. The barista station is neat and tidy and two people were inside making drinks. I walked in and there was no cashier waiting but I noticed the kiosk so ordered the Kona latte. Pretty straight forward transaction with zero human interaction. I sat and waited and my order was ready within a few minutes. I asked the barista if this was the trailer and Sunnyvale and he pointed at the owner who was busy filling syrups. I congratulated them and wished them well in their business and was on my way. My Kona iced latte was delicious balanced flavored of coffee, macadamia, and coconut. This is a sweet drink but was just what I was craving this visit. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Kiosk machine to order. Will come back and try their chimney cakes.

    The new modern and cool coffee spot in the Bay! Previously Kona was open as a food truck version. I loved the chimney cake with Nutella dipping--so delicious and my first time seeing this in the area! I paired it with an iced latte (around $8), which was a really solid, well-balanced medium roast. A few quick tips for your visit: * Ordering & Service: The staff is very nice, and you have the convenient option to order in person or via the kiosks. * Drinks: You can regulate pretty much everything and customize your drink, you can control even the amount of ice in your beverage, but just a heads up--you will be charged extra if you order a drink with no ice. * Parking: Super easy, there is a parking garage right next door. * Restrooms: There are no restrooms inside the shop; you have to walk around the corner to use them. Overall, a great spot. I'll definitely be coming back for more of that chimney cake!

    Happy grand opening day to Kona Island! I was really excited about having Hawaiian coffee in the bay area as I am personally not aware of anything like it here. You can order in person or at the two self service iPads in the corner on your left when you enter. We got a Kona island latte which is Kona coffee with coconut macadamia flavor and a honalo macchiato which was a hazelnut flavored coffee. Both were very strong and delicious which is what I like! I also saw these interesting chimney cakes (I don't know if that's the exact name of what it's called?) If I lived closer I'd go all the time.

    Macadamia Nut Iced Latte

    As someone who enjoys Kona coffee, I was excited to try a coffee shop that serves 100% Kona coffee in the Bay Area. I came here on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy, I waited about 10 minutes for my drink. I ordered the Macadamia Nut Oat Iced Latte ($8), which wasn't too bitter or too sweet and was enjoyable overall, though it felt a bit small for the price. The ambiance was simplistic and modern, there were many spots to sit and wait. This is a solid spot to try if you're looking for Kona coffee!

    So excited to try this new spot, parking will be in a lot nearby so you just walk around the corner and you're there! No lines when I went, you order on their touch screens so it's fairly quick and easy, although if people want to scroll through that may take long. The inside is nice and clean. They offer water on the side which I alway appreciate. There is indoor and outdoor seating and they have lots of options and alternatives to customize your drink which I enjoyed. I thought the coconut cream was going to be a soft top but it's the coconut cream mixed into the drink! I feel the coffee was strong and not too sweet for the Kona latte but the Nutella was definitely very sweet! Like a dessert in a cup!

    Iced ube drink - delicious!
    Michele L.

    My first visit but not my last! There was no line when I arrived mid-morning. I wasn't sure what to get, and had a tough time determining from the photos which cold drinks might be more frappe vs liquid. I decided to try the iced ube coffee drink on the menu. I requested less ice, less sugar; it was still on the sweet side, but delicious, smooth and reminiscent of Hawaii. I look forward to trying additional beverages here in the future.

    Ok coffee, but insane price tag for the amount of coffee you get. $10 for about 6oz of coffee is ridiculous.

    Is the business hour correct? Somettiems i stopped by and the truck wasnt there. Are you guys still in the same spot on Fremont Ave?

    Hello Nhat, our operating hours are correct, but for the most up-to-date information on our whereabouts throughout the week, we recommend visiting our website. Hope this helps! :)

    Can they make lattes decaf?

    Hello Lauren, we can make any coffee beverage with decaf espresso, we also have decaf pour over as well. Hope this helps :)

    Where should I park if I'm not a patient or employee at the hospital?

    Hi Marissa, we’re off of clove Dr and Turner Dr - close to building T5 (unfortunately, Google doesn’t have a pinpoint on building T5) there are parking spots across from where we’re located.

    I usually get a double latte at Starbucks. Low milk, iced. What low cal would you suggest I get from Kona and what's the price. I'd like to try it?

    Hi Joy, we’ve never been to San Leandro on Floresta Blvd. Our main and only location is at 105 E Fremont Ave, Sunnyvale.… Read more

I had a really nice chat with one of the owners there and they all seem like really lovely people--kind hearted with little kids around so hopefully they stay around for some time! They were still redoing the front of house so not sure when they will open fully but looking forward to trying more Azerbaijan food. Since I've never had Azerbaijan food before, I asked for a recommendation and he said all of the food is good but did say that the chicken shawarma was big and I was feeling a bit hungry so went with that. It came with fries and some peppers, which reminded me of banana peppers. Not spicy with a briney taste to it, great accompaniment. He also tossed in this yogurt drink (I didn't get the name) that was tasty. Overall, good food and will be back to try their lamb kebabs and the burger as well and interested to see what their pizzas will be like as well. Love seeing small family businesses like this and hope they do well!

This is their most recommended dish and for good reason. Side of fries were nice and crispy too: I also tried the grilled chicken plate and that was pretty good as well. Again, good portion! On my first visit, they offered a drink for free and I tasted the Ayran (yogurt based drink). Friendly people. Next time, I'll try the Baku Chicken sandwich. Btw, it's in a small parking lot next to a restaurant, and you should have parking spots at the back. There always seems to be a decent crowd occupying the tables near the food truck.
