    The drinks are strong and the service is extremely fast. You can order on a kiosk and they make it right away. Lobby is great to study or do work! Parking is a bit easy with a parking garage nearby. In an extremely saturated coffee spot in the Bay Area. This was okay!

    (iced) Kona Island Latte

    Before getting into SJ, both my relative and a close friend recommended Kona Island Coffee. The coffee here is so delicious!! Tastes so smooth and has just the perfect amount of sweetness and caffeine. Every time I stopped by (multiple times over the past couple weeks of me visiting the Bay), the waits to order and for the drink to be ready were very reasonable. Plenty of tables inside and outside too. My go-to here was the iced kona island latte! The macadamia flavor was delicious and the latte itself had a good amount of caffeine. I have nothing but good things to say about this cafe.

    Got the hot and iced Kona Island lattes and really loved the macadamia flavors, really reminded me of Hawaii! Only downside is that it is pretty expensive, came out to like $8 a coffee, if not more. Inside has some seating but is pretty dark, but there's some outdoor seating as well which is nice especially in the summer.

    Finally went to Kona Island in Mt. View on a Sunday! Parking is always hard in the plaza but managed to find one in the parking garage. Nice place. There's 2 screens available to order and a cashier. No cash. They have outdoor seating outside, with table signs specifically for Kona customers. We ordered 3 iced drinks, traditional chimney and 2 bottled drinks for later. There was a bit of a wait. I was told the chimney will take about 10-15 minutes. My Nutella latte was good. The sweetness was not overloaded. The chimney tasted like a sweet pretzel. It was cool to see the smoke coming out, yes, like a chimney! Lol I believe there's options to have ice cream inside. Overall, great experience!

    Overall: 4.5/5 Parked in their public garage. Inside is very spacious with plenty of seating and some outdoors. Overall, service was good and friendly, I ordered on the kiosk but you can also order at the front with a person. I was surprised to find their coffee to be creamier than other places, which also tastes good. However, drinks are definitely on the pricier side. Drinks: - Iced Cappuccino w/ Caramel: light, refreshing, satisfying, classic - Iced Creme Brulee Latte: creamy, thick, perfect sweet

    We stopped by this new Hawaiian coffee shop and found a couple of things that make it stand out from the crowd. First, they use 100% Kona coffee, which is surprisingly hard to find. The owner is also from Hungary and serves traditional chimney cake. Each one is baked to order, so you get it fresh from the oven. Ours was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and paired wonderfully with the ube cream. It's an absolute must-try. I also appreciated the little details. When we ordered their siphon coffee, they asked whether we'd like it served in a paper cup or a ceramic mug. We chose ceramic, and I really think coffee tastes better that way. It's a small touch, but it shows they care about the experience.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I really liked the inside! I got an iced kona latte, which tastes really good and you can definitely taste the macadamia nut! I would definitely come back if I'm in the area, I wouldn't drive all the way out here for it though. They have a lot of options such as snacks and smoothies, and non coffee options! I didnt really get to talk to the servers as I ordered on the kiosk. They have a small merch area as well. Definitely will be back!

    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.

    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.

    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.…

Nice location - lots of parking and we love to have found a Vietnamese coffee place. I typically get the egg coffee but decided to go with their new Peanut Butter Latte and I'm so glad I did. It comes already with oat milk which is perfect. I will say - for the large the ratio on cream to coffee was little off. I'd prefer less of the cream and more coffee but it was still delicious and refreshing - not too sweet and had a lot of the PB flavor. Hubby got the Pandan Matcha. He loved it - though it was a bit too sweet for him so he waited for the ice to melt a bit. Not sure if we could have adjusted the sweetness. Youngest got the Banana Latte and devoured it quickly. Fair to say I think she really enjoyed it! Nice that they are so close to us now. Will definitely be one of our go to for Vietnamese coffee!!

Highly recommend going early because the parking fills up fast, therefore, the seating in the coffee shop fills up fast as well. Our go-tos are usually an Iced Hojicha Einspanner and a pour over, Iced Americano, or an Espresso Tonic. We've tried their matcha as well, which is also solid! Every single time we have gone (which is usually when they open), there is already a line forming outside the door. Depending on how busy it is, we have waited between 12-18 minutes for our drinks (on the high end), but the drinks are always so yummy! They also have an amazing selection of pastries including an everything croissant, cookies, mochi, pistachio raspberry croissant, spinach and feta croissant, and a mushroom croissant to name a few! Their Hojicha Einspanner is sooo good. The Einspanner is so creamy and their Hojicha is the perfect, balanced amount of nutty flavors. Whenever I have ordered this drink, people are always eyeing to see what it is because the presentation is also that good! The Espresso Tonic is also a perfect summer drink and the shot was pulled perfectly. If you want to get some work done here, I'd highly recommend coming early so you can grab a table and to also bring your headphones because it does get busy and loud. They also have WiFi and one single bathroom. Thanks Covour Coffee!

The people who go here are not real coffee connoisseurs. Careful with the reviews. For the connoisseurs - the drinks are not refined. It's slapped together. It doesn't have the layering connoisseurs seek. Iykyk. I had so much hope, I mean, how bad can a coffee shop be if it's in a coffee town. The decor and vibe is nice, however.

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava.

My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side.
