I stopped by for their Kona Island Iced latte after an appointment nearby and didn't have much expectations as I didn't think it could match Island Vintage and I was wrong! The coffee was so good! I specially asked for less sweetened and forgot to request for an extra shot & had to rush home but it came out perfectly strong, balanced & tasty. I saved half of the drink for my husband and he also really liked it too, believe it's a great substitute to our favorite iced macadamia nut latte from Hawaii . read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside has some seating but is pretty dark, but there's some outdoor seating as well which is nice especially in the summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have outdoor seating outside, with table signs specifically for Kona customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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! read more

Overall: 4.5/5 Parked in their public garage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is very spacious with plenty of seating and some outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 read more

Kona Island Coffee - Cappuccino, Creme Brulee Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the decor of the place - simple, modern, yet inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

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.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some seating both inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking may be a challenge during peak hours, but there is a garage nearby, if need be. Come check them out! read more

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. read more

What a VIBE [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the ambiance, the hawaiian flavors (ube! matcha! more!) and treats (chimney cake! banana bread! more!) available on their menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is their first and only store front and what a beautiful space inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The barista station is neat and tidy and two people were inside making drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kiosk machine to order. Will come back and try their chimney cakes. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Stopped by and it was actually pretty busy for later in the afternoon. Ordering was easy at the kiosk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were setting up for some indoor live music which seemed cool but we left before it got started. The service was friendly. The drinks were pretty good. For the blended drinks if they made too much they give you the extra in a little cup which is nice! read more

Coffee was delicious. I am kinda glad it's outta my way because I'd be here everyday, and it's pretty expensive-more than Starbucks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was clean and modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the iced Kona latte and Hawaiian bread. They seem to only have one size and I would have ordered a bigger version if they had it. The bread was fresh and full of flavor. Also do not follow the directions for California Ave-use The Village at San Antonio center. I was walking up and down California Ave. and then realized it was in the promenade/alley space on San Antonio Road. You can park in the parking structure. read more

We drove all the way here to try Kona coffee. Let's just say it wasn't worth the drive. I ordered their Kona iced latte. I think I should have ordered some type of Kona coffee without any syrup. It's a nice touch to add macadamia nuts, but it kinda ruined the coffee experience. My hubby ordered the cappuccino which he liked, so I guess it wasn't an entire miss. Anyway, definitely not the same as the Kona coffee you'd get from the big island. read more

Kona Island Coffee - Average - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer water on the side which I alway appreciate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is indoor and outdoor seating and they have lots of options and alternatives to customize your drink which I enjoyed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was simplistic and modern, there were many spots to sit and wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a solid spot to try if you're looking for Kona coffee! read more

Excellent customer service. The woman behind the register was so friendly and helpful. I felt like there were many options that sounded good. I ended up getting the iced Hilo latte, which is a coconut Ube latte. I would say it was not sweet at all, which is good, but for some they may not like the taste. There was minimal coconut flavor. The Ube whipped cream was also flavorless. I know Ube is a very mild taste but still. The drink was around eight or nine dollars. I feel like it's pretty pricey so I will not return again. read more

Came the day after their grand opening, pretty popular since it's new but wait was not too bad. Cute little table stations and outside seating. Nice quiet area. Coffee had good flavors but a little small and pricier side. About $8 per cup, maybe 7-8oz? Smaller than average. Has options for oat milk, coconut milk, heavy cream, etc. read more

Went for their grand opening and was instantly transported to being back in Hawaii! There was traditional music and dancing that you could enjoy while waiting for your coffee. Pretty easy and quick to order as you could order on one of two available kiosks or directly at the counter. Large menu of coffee with a few baked treats to also try out. I got the captain cook and americano. It reminded me exactly of coffee back in Hawaii! Giving it 4 stars only as I did find it a touch expensive compared to other coffee shops in the area. read more

The staff was very helpful & informative as it was my first time. They just soft opened their store location at 2565 California St. Ste 84. Mountain View, CA last Friday. Grand opening is May 16, 2026. My drink was delicious. I love the mix of ube & coconut. I ordered it cold & it definitely was awesome. The drink was about $10 since I selected almond milk but definitely was a good treat. read more

Love the Hawaiian theme and that they have Kona coffee. I tried the raspberry mocha with oat milk. It wasn't as creamy as I expected, but maybe it was because of the oat milk.

I dropped by Kona Island Coffee during their grand opening weekend around 11am and decided to try the iced Kona Island Latte with added coconut cream. The total came out to a little over $10, which is on the pricier side for a coffee drink. For the latte itself, I'd give it about a 7/10. It was smooth and decent quality, but I personally wish it had a bit more sweetness and stronger flavor, especially with the coconut cream added. What really stood out to me was the atmosphere of the shop. The interior was very nice, bright, and well-lit with a relaxing Hawaii-inspired vibe that made the place feel welcoming and comfortable. Space isn't that big so the tables inside got taken up quickly, however there are plenty tables outside and across the street to choose from. They also had two self-serve kiosks available, which helped make ordering convenient. The staff were all friendly, patient, and helpful with customer questions, especially considering it was their grand opening and likely very busy. Overall, a solid experience and a nice addition to the area. I'd come back again to try some of their other drinks. read more

I needed some caffeine while I was running around in the area and stumbled upon this spot. We were in a hurry so we ordered ahead, which is super convenient. I got the Iced Kona Island Latte with oat milk, which is made with macadamia and coconut and OMG - it was sooooo good. It didn't taste artificial at all and really reminded me of Hawaii! My husband ordered the Captain Cook Latte, but I definitely liked mine better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is so big with a good amount of tables and chairs, making it a great spot to hang out or get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I seriously need this place to open a location in SF! read more

Captain cook -lite ice -less sweet -the cinnamon is not too strong -it's supposed to have honey and vanilla in it as well but I don't quite taste the honey. It might have something to do with adjusting it to less sweet, but it's still a shame. Vanilla however, can be detected Kona island coffee -lite ice -"wow" -the macadamia nut flavor really shines through and is like no other -it literally tastes like you bit into a macadamia nut at the same time -it has a slight hint of coconut but you'd have to search for the flavor to find it Over all pretty good and brings us back to the island. Iykyk. read more

I usually don't like to go to a new shop on the first day due to crowds and new staff learning the trade. But I went because I really like the coffee. There's plenty to parking. The place is clean. Not really fond of the metal seats. It's not the most comfortable if you're sitting for a while. I probably won't be going as often as this place is a lot farther from home. The truck was closer read more

Kona Island Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

First off: I love everything Hawaiian! The culture and the vibe is amazing so I had to take a trip and drive 40 minutes to try this cafe for sure. I was greeted by Hannah whom was super kind and helpful during my visit. The staff also kind and always had a smile on their lovely faces. Listed below are the 3 things that I placed an order for: 1. Ube - Banana Bread: Light, moist and fluffy, but also fulfilling. Not to sweet and not too bland. Perfect enough for me. I would say to combine it with a hot beverage of your choice. It would be more satisfying for me at least. 2. Iced Hilo Latte - Let's just say I want one every day. The gentleman that made it the day I was there made it absolutely delicious. I did not catch his name, but I do recall he was wearing a Jesus t-shirt. I will always order this drink as long as he makes it for me. Haha Thank you for making this beverage delicious and well worth it on my first visit to Kona Island Coffee! :) 3. Lotus Biscoff Chimney Cone - I could not eat this at the time of my visit, but you know I had to take it home and have it when I was no longer full from the Hilo Latte & Ube Banana Bread. As soon as I finished my Hilo Latte, I was just going to stick this chimney cone in my cup and be on my way. Hannah was nice enough to offer me a clean cup and lid to put it in instead of having to use my Hilo latte cup. Thank you Hannah! :) Now this y'all is like eating a drumstick ice cream cone in my opinion. I love, love, love Biscoff in general so this was my chimney of choice. What a pleasant dessert to have. Especially when you get too the bottom of the cone where all the magic is. That my friends...was thee best part of the chimney! If you love Biscoff like myself, I would recommend this to you. Seems like I will be returning here to treat myself again soon. Thank Hannah and staff for making my first day experience a memorable one. See you all again soon! read more

nice to have this coffee shop but made the mistake of ordering coconut water sunrise coffee where the coffee flavor was overwhelmed. stick to traditional kona coffee read more

Unless you are ALREADY at Santa Clara Valley Medical - this place isn't easily accessible. I found Kona through Yelp and placed an order online on their direct website because reviews looked so good! Unfortunately, my pick up experience wasn't the best. As a newcomer, I had no idea this was located in the middle of a busy hospital campus. There is no direction on their website where the actual location was - just the hospital address. Due to construction, they had moved so I was stuck driving around looking for the truck (it was tucked away hidden in the main hospital entrance.) On top of that, there is virtually no parking if you are just coming here as a customer and not an actual hospital visitor (understandable) - so you must park in the visitor lot - which is just as packed as the rest of the campus. After 20 min of driving around - I finally found a spot but there was a 10-minute walk to get to Kona's truck. My pickup was assigned to be ready by 1:10 PM - when I got there, it took another 5-10 minutes. All in all - what I had hoped to be a 10-15 min quick stop turned out to be almost AN HOUR. The drinks themselves were good. Kona iced latte and the creme brulee had interesting unique flavors. But after that pickup experience, I would much rather wait for their storefront to open. read more

First time trying Kona Island coffee today and it was yummy! I got the Iced Hilo Latte and it was bomb! My husband got the Iced Hopia Matcha Latte and that one was good too!

Was super excited about this place. Absolutely love Kona and Maui coffee in general and used to order speciality beans from a place in Maui I discovered years ago. Ordered two of the lattes and both were flavorless with indistinguishable elements to the different profiles and little coffee flavor. One of the drinks almost had a rancidity to the macadamia bits that were on top. Additionally we tried the overnight oats and chia seed option. The fruit inside was abit off and the oats weren't flavored at all. The price for the small portion was around $10 which was high. Everything was quite expensive too, like $50 or so for 2 drinks and 2 small cups of oats. Sadly I just can't go back. Hopefully it was just a bad time I went and not the norm, idk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've gotta say tho, the interior was super cute and had a great aesthetic and the lady that helped us was very nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Parking was also convenient. read more

Cute food truck! Seemed like they were friendly with regulars/previous customers but we just ordered via the self service kiosk because we had our dogs with us. Crème brûlée latte (iced) - 9/10 My partner got this drink and he typically doesn't like coffee too much because it's bitter but he really liked this one! Nice and sweet for him. Though he did comment that after eating the crepe, the latte was less sweet. Kamoa Mocha (hot) - 8/10 It was light and sweet! It didn't feel heavy in my mouth or stomach and not too bitter. I love a good mocha!! It also wasn't burning hot so I could drink it pretty quickly. Maui (Crème brûlée) crepe - 7/10 We got it without pistachio nuts (sadly) but it was a nice and simple sweet crepe. The coconut whipped crème was a nice addition. I think the nuts would've added a bit more crunchy texture but can't know for sure. My dogs really wanted a piece of it LOL Overall, good coffee and a sweet spot ;) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance felt clean and service was generally friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They seemed busy and apologized for the wait. Because it was busy, orders could only be placed at the kiosk. Ordered an iced matcha with coconut milk and an iced Hilo blended with coconut milk. The iced matcha is one of the worst drinks I've ever had -- very watered down and no matcha flavor at all. Not worth almost $9. The iced Hilo had no issues but it's nothing spectacular. The wait and cost for mediocre to poor drinks were not worthy of the Kona name in taste and value. I don't plan to return. read more
