    Our two newest members of the family, that we brought home from Kona Kat Cafe.    Angel

    Every place we vacation, my adult daughter HAS to visit a cat cafe. We are all cat lovers, and she wants to support a local cafe and also love on kitties, so it's a win-win. She found Kona Kat Cafe and made us an appointment for a visit. What a treat! Such cute items to purchase to support the cafe and lovely, well-cared-for cats to visit and love on. There were a number of kittens when we visited early in the week, and throughout the week, my daughter tried to talk me into bringing one home. We ended up going back, filling out the paperwork, and bringing two babies home with us to Seattle. Great experience all around! Angel

    We were so excited to come here! It was near the condo we were vacationing in and we're suckers for cats. My family loves cat cafes because we used to have cats, but they've sadly passed. Jenny the owner was very sweet. I adore the cute cat shirt I bought here and the socks. All the cats were very relaxed and friendly. It was such a highlight to hold the kittens. The photo op area was fantastic too. I can tell by how calm the cats were and how very clean the place was that they've loved and cared for. Definitely support this amazing cafe and hopefully all their cats find loving homes!

    Awesome cat cafe. I love that they actually have a purpose of getting cats and kittens adopted any cats that are contained to cages due to waiting on vaccinations you can take them out and hold them.

    Wonderful place! This was a highlight on our trip to Hawaii. My daughter who is 9 loves cats and she really enjoyed this cat cafe. They had lots of kittens and some older cats. It was clean and comfy.

    All cat lovers must come to this wonderful store. I bought 2 Tee-shirts and other souvenirs. Jenny is very hospitable and knowledgeable. The cats in the patio are super cute. I highly recommend any visitors to Kona to come and see the kitties.

    Climbing up!

    There were so many adorable kitties! I wish I could adopt them but it was so fun to play with them, take photos, and give them treats! The person who worked there was very friendly, helpful and patient.

    The inside area was so cute!

    10/10 experience here at the Kona Cat Cafe!! Definitely a much needed therapeutic session surrounded by these cute kitties in this comfy space. There were about 12-18 kitties freely roaming around the area and all of them had such fun personalities. One really beautiful part in all of this is that all of them (other than the shop cats) are up for adoption to the public! Some already were adopted :) Its $20/person for an hr. Food is an extra $2 per bag but you get a good amount to feed to the whole bunch. Definitely stop by here if you love kitties, cafes, and calmness wrapped all in one

    Enjoyed my time at Kona Kat cafe. Lots of young kittens and maybe a few older "house cats". we got there early and everyone was very playful and full of energy. Some cats climbed on me and just wanted endless cuddles and made lots of biscuits. Person running the show was very much a cat lover and he was very caring and helpful. Highly recommended for any cat or animal lover. Please adopt the mini spicy torties and say hi to gigi for me.

    Super friendly staff and amazing cats. What else could you want. Kids had a blast. Two got adopted while we were there which was nice. Great concept.

A nice quiet place to feast but also relax and enjoy a beverage or coffee. The staff, although busy, very friendly and welcoming. My all time favorite is their Panini Caprese. So savory, so flavorful I have had it on several occasions . Highly recommend. Close your eyes and bite into the panini after dipping it in the balsamic dip or the garlic dip. Immediately you will feel like you are at a cafe in Italy maybe on the Amalfi coast. Only thing missing is the ocean breeze off the Mediterranean Sea. 10 out of 10 I also ordered an everything bagel with salmon capers and pickled onions. 9 out of 10. A Chicken panini for my wife. Very tasty. Well made. 9 out of 10. If you're in Kona and don't want a huge meal but looking for a satisfying one, stop here and grab the Caprese Panini. Kimo

This coffee shop is located in a small plaza with a pizza place, taco spot, and Merriman's. The plaza itself has plenty of parking even when it's on the busier side on a weekend morning, so it's not hard to find a spot. Inside the cafe, there's a retail section that sells clothing and small goods, and a separate side to place your order and sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is bright and welcoming with a minimalist vibe, and even when we visited on a weekend morning, it was easy to find seating either indoors or outdoors. Service was wonderful -- we were helped promptly by staff, and my drink came out quickly. I got the black sesame latte with a chocolate chip cookie. I thought my drink was perfect, as the flavor of the black sesame was nutty, pleasant, and just the right amount of sweetness paired with the espresso. The cookie was on the softer/puffier side, and although it's not my preferred texture, it wasn't too bad! To sum up, I really enjoyed dropping by to get coffee here, and I feel like the quality of the drinks at Surf Camp is consistent across their different locations. I'll definitely come back if I ever find myself on Big Island for another trip!

It was a nice and bright, clean shop. But let's really talk about the coffee. THE. COFFEE. OKAY. When I saw that they serve ONYX, did I die on the inside? ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE ONYX. Immediately, I ran out of the bar area looking for my sister because she and I are ABSOLUTELY HUGE fans of Onyx. Did we freak out? Absolutely. It was probably the best cup of coffee I've had while on the big island. It was amazing. I would GLADLY drive 30 minutes one way just for this coffee shop. This is the ONLY coffee shop I've found in the entire state that serves onyx. I hope they never stop.

It seems most of the bad reviews are for dinner so I can't comment on dinner fare, value or service. We stayed three nights at the Outrigger Kona resort and spa after a few days in Hilo. Breakfast options outside of Piko are getting into your car and driving out or having access to the Voyager 47 club. Captive audience we were. During our stay we ate or drank, Lox bagel, Avocado toast, Macadamia nut croissant, Ham cheese croissant sandwich, Cold brew (decent) and Drip coffee (just ok). The lox bagel surprisingly came with a sizable amount of salmon. The bagel itself was nothing special, but the good size schmear of cream cheese had some herbs and spices mixed in. The schmear wasn't the kind you'll get in NYC where you have more cream cheese than bagel, but most people will be happy with the amount. The avocado toast was tasty, with a sizable amount of fresh avocado, arugula, halved tomatoes, and thinly sliced radish, over toasted bread, with a slice of orange and a strawberry. My better half loved the Macadamia nut croissant, being buttery with a large amount of cream dotted with mac nuts. The ham and cheese croissant was less buttery than the mac nut croissant, but had a good amount of warm melted cheese and ham. The cold brew was smooth and not bitter, with solid caffeine, being a good afternoon pick me up for a session in the adult pool. The drip coffee however was quite bitter and not to our liking. You can charge your room directly if you're a guest. 3.5 stars only for breakfast ala carte or the grab and go.

We were able to book a 9:30 am Sat appointment online and it was nice they had us answer some questions to pair us up with a dog. You can also see which dogs are available to be taken out for a field trip from their website, since they have a filter option. At their brief orientation they'll give you a pamphlet with suggestions on where to visit, but they are all mostly taken from the Lava Dogs Hawaii site if you want to plan ahead. There are also some suggestions on dog friendly places to eat. They'll also provide a backpack with all the supplies for the day - some food, water bowl, water, towel, toys, poop bag, etc. All dogs will have a leash and a bandanna advertising for adoption, and the shelter will provide a seat belt for the dog to use in the car. The only catch is that you have to bring the dog back before 4 pm. We got paired with Riley, a roughly 4-year old girl who was a former stray. Riley was a bundle of energy and a great hiking buddy! My fiance isn't much of a dog person but really warmed up to Riley (and even ran with her on the beach). You don't really feel exhausted when you have a dog buddy to hike with. I would caution you'll want to keep an eye on where you take the dogs so they don't overheat, also because the hot lava rocks can be rough on their paws. Although Kaloko-Honokohau National Park is dog friendly, the guide at the visitor center suggested we take the trail head at the harbor to explore Honokohau Beach and the Ai'Opio Fish Trap due to heat concerns (dogs have passed out on the trails through the lava rock fields). I hope the sweet girl gets adopted - they do have programs set up for folks from the mainland to adopt. If your island accommodation is dog friendly, they even have a program set up to let you have a shelter dog stay overnight. Totally recommend looking into taking out a shelter dog, and be sure to book an appointment online and research (I suspect Story C. didn't do this, hence the 1-star review).
