    We stopped by to try the coffee and order the Kona Reserve Warrior blend pour over and it was really good. I drink mine black and it was smooth and did not have an aftertaste. The cafe is very clean and has a variety of pastries, food and juices as well. The staff were very friendly and greeted us when we walked in and brought our coffee to our table.

    Nice place. Good lattes but their bagel lox needs tomato. And when I asked for lots of onions and capers that didn't happen either.

    Spam Musubi

    I stopped in on my way to work because I've had great coffee experiences in Hawaii and was curious to see how Kona Reserve stacked up. I ordered the Lavender Bloom oat milk latte (lavender syrup, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon powder), and it struck a nice balance--not overly sweet or overpowering, just smooth and comforting. I also grabbed a spam musubi and expected it to be chilled and grab-and-go, but it came out piping hot. I ended up eating it while I waited for my drink, and I'm glad I did--saucy, flavorful, and really satisfying. Only surprise was that there weren't any musubi out in the case, so I wasn't sure they had any at first. The shop had a few island-inspired touches, but the overall vibe was clean, white, and modern. The team behind the counter was quick, efficient, and welcoming. Not overly energetic, perfect energy for me on a morning stop. I don't usually make it over to that stretch of Richmond in the mornings--there are a ton of coffee spots in the area--but Kona Reserve could be a great option if you're looking for a solid cup of joe and some island flair snacks. Bonus: there's free parking in the attached garage, which makes popping in quick and easy.

    Better service than my first visit a year ago. The baristas were attentive and friendly. The Vietnamese coffee was pretty good. It wasn't as strong as I like but I would order it again. I also ordered a vanilla latte which was less sweet and more balanced than many others I've had. Still a bit pricy but worth it for great coffee.

    We picked this place because we love Hawaiian coffee! The parking was street parking and behind the location. This place is beautiful!!!! So clean, sleek, modern! Very quiet, literally everyone was on a laptop, no talking. I got a dirty chai latte with oatmilk and it was very creamy! No complaints. We were a table of 5 people so we were chatting and having a great time! Upon leaving the owner actually introduced himself to us and asked us about our experience. We gave positive feedback and he thanked us! We don't live in Houston and picked this for our love of Hawaiian coffee and it was such a good choice. Upon coming to yelp too worried my review, i see that there is a location in north Dallas (frisco) that I'll have to go try as that is where i live! I am excited!

    Always an unbelievable quality bean, nitro is amazing here, 16oz for 3.70$ is an insanely good price for this quality, be sure to double your order! So glad they're finally near me!!

    Kailua Latte

    Tried the kailua latte and I love that the coffee was strong, but still flavorful. Service was super quick!

    Royal Kona milk tea
    Robert Z.

    Continuing my tour of Houston spots to work on my dissertation, I found myself out at Kona. Its a very bright, quiet spot that was conducive to working (wifi, outlets, chairs/tables). It wasn't the largest space but it wasn't overly crowded on a Saturday afternoon. This is a Hawaiian coffee shop that's located in a sort of businessy area. Its on the first floor of some sort of office building so there's some other food places as well as attached, underground parking (which is free). I ordered the royal kona milk tea and really enjoyed it (more than some boba shops in the area). The tea was very smooth and creamy and it had a slight floral hint to it. I would definitely come back just to get more milk tea! They also have quite a few options for coffee, which all sounded excellent. You could even get some lunch/snack options like sandwiches and spam misubi.

    Aloha Latte, Kailua Latte and Chocolate Muffin
    Meris R.

    I needed a pick me up, so I stopped by for lunch. I got two coffees and a muffin for $20, yikes. I was excited to try this place since I fell in love with the macadamia coffee from Hawaii, when I visited a while back. To my understanding/surprise, they don't serve that kind of coffee. I was a bit disappointed but still wanted to give their two most popular orders a try. The Aloha latte has macadamia syrup, and I just subbed oat milk. It came out ok. The Kailua latte has more of a cinnamon taste, which was a big overwhelming but still decent. The chocolate muffin was warmed up, but still cold in the center. A pretty basic muffin. The inside is really nice. It gives a nice chill vibe to come and work or hang with friends.

    Spam musubi
    Ann L.

    I'm a fan of Hawaiian-inspired coffee shops. It's too bad that I don't work in Greenway plaza anymore otherwise this would be my go-to coffee place. Love the chill vibe here. You can park in the garage which is free parking. A good spot to do work or study. Plenty of tables to sit at. I ordered my favorite iced chai with a classic spam musubi. I love spam musubi in Hawaii so I was excited to see it on the menu. Good rice ratio to the spam and it came out warm. Services were friendly and quick. Looking forward to coming back to try more of their coffee and musubi.

    Lavender Bloom coffee. Sweet but delicious.
    Fabian L.

    Disclaimer: I'm on a hunt for the best cafe to work from as I'm working remote. My review is based on factors for a good place to work from and not necessarily the coffee or food. Overall good cafe for work and coffee. Noise level - 55db quiet Wifi speed - 27 down 31 up Power plugs - more than 12 Seats - 40 indoors Parking - free covered garage 10 lots The menu has lots of coffee choices. The coffee is delicious. The service was great the barista was friendly. Coffee came within 5 minutes. I was able to take a zoom audio call with ease. The 2 restrooms are also super clean.

    Fun themed drinks, nice staff, and cute spot but they close pretty early. And you need to park in the garage and then walk over.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
