Finals thought it would be a yogurt bowl, but it was only a spoonful of yogurt. The eggs Benedict's had great flavor, and the fish tasted sooo good with the hollandaise sauce . The omelet was very cheesy and we loved the cheese pull. While the cheesecake was good, the crust needs work. It's pretty hard and we couldn't break it up easily. Cookie was dry and not something we would get again. The bar was also pretty hard, but the flavors were nice.

No big deal! They do have smoothies, so we decided to try those out with a slice of cheesecake. I mean, because cheesecake. The employee here was super helpful and nice. Honestly, this location looks extremely popular for a late breakfast, and it makes sense to me: the menu was full of some yummy offerings. You felt like you were sitting in a very personal, old time diner where everyone would know each other. It was honestly very authentic, and I loved how we felt like we were at a friend's house. The smoothies were really good! Bright, vibrant flavors and very much needed after a busy morning. The cheesecake, well, it lasted about 2.5 seconds. Seriously sooo good and a nice little treat! I believe they make the cheesecake and other baked goods in-house, so that's a bonus. This wasn't what we were hunting for, but we were happy to stumble upon this cozy diner!

Great Kona coffee in a wonderful casual atmosphere!…read more I had to meet up/interview a potential Big Island candidate in Kailua-Kona and I was basically looking for a casual place where I could meet, enjoy a drink, and have a little bit of conversation. Kona Coffee & Tea was the place of choice here in Kailua-Kona. Located at the Kona Coast Shopping Center, you can find this little coffee shop just next door from KFC. The coffee shop is easy to find, as other business surrounding this business is the KTA Superstore, Hele Gas Station, HFS Federal Credit Union, O'Reilly Auto Parts, as well as many numerous eateries. It was late in the afternoon, so I basically came here for some drinks. I had to try their Kona Coffee, and I must say it did not disappoint! The coffee shop has indoor, as well as covered outdoor seating. The shop does sell some food items, but I did not partake or looked at what they had to offer. There was also coffee shop merchandise, but I did not have time to take a look at what they had to offer. Overall, as great coffee shop and if I'm in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by for their wonderful coffee.

Kona Coffee & Tea really makes it a point to articulate that their coffee is 100% Kona coffee. For…read morethat reason, some of their drink offerings are priced accordingly, with a 12 oz medium pour over costing $10. Unless you're a coffee connoisseur, you may want to skip the pour over for something a bit less special to save yourself a few dollars. The coffee was fine, but my unrefined palette was not able to fully appreciate the cup of brew. In terms of atmosphere, Kona Coffee & Tea has plenty of seating outdoors around the porch and a few high tables indoor, where they have AC blasting at full strength. They have free Wi-Fi available as well, so I saw a lot of people posting up on their laptops. Parking is plentiful and easy to find since this coffee spot is located in a strip mall. If you have a discerning palette for the subtle flavors that show up in different coffee beans, you will definitely want to stop by for a cup.

The lilikou lime refresher was also good. Not overly sweet, good amount of bubbles, passion fruity and a very light hint of lime. The ube was alright, we couldn't really taste the ube flavor. We came back another day and got their matcha latte with oat milk (sweetened), loaded spam musubi, and avocado toast. The matcha latte was not our favorite, it had a weird macadamia(?) and stevia taste to it, not entirely sure what it was but it threw off the matcha flavor for us. The loaded spam musubi was very dense, but pretty good. The avocado toast was very good. Huge bread slice and lots of toppings!

My father and I were driving…read morearound the southern portion of the Big Island and had stopped in Naalehu when I decided to see if there was a coffee shop nearby. Ka Lea Coffee came up and happened to be right across the street, which worked out perfectly. The shop is split into two rooms. One has the coffee bar where you order along with some beans for sale and a pastry case, while the other has a mix of comfortable and traditional seating. There also was a good amount of seating outside if that is your thing. After looking over the menu I decided to go with an americano with a splash of cream. The coffee here is Ka'u coffee and it was excellent. It was smooth and rich with a nice natural sweetness that paired really well with the cream. In hindsight, I probably should have bought some beans to take home. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. The menu itself did not stand out, but that ended up being a good thing since it let the quality of the coffee speak for itself.
