Great Customer Service! Amazing crossiant sandwiches!…read more The gelato was great too, but the serving was not consistent. I went there 2 days in a row for gelato. Also, the price listed for a small gelato is $3, but I was told it is $4. Actual prices need to reflect posted prices. 6-22-26 Hoping to find consistency in future visits!

We had breakfast at this place this morning, and I was left with a very unpleasant impression. We…read morewaited about 20 minutes for a croissant and 30 minutes for a cappuccino. One of the drinks ( ole coffee ) was completely forgotten and was only brought 50 minutes later ( and it was watery ) , after we reminded the staff. Additionally, our second croissant was replaced with a bagel without asking us first. We were so taken aback that we didn't even say anything - we simply didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. I do not recommend this place.

My husband and I stopped by Koana after a recommendation from a friend while we were on our way to…read moreVolcano. I mean this with all kindness, but I think my friend undersold the place! At first glance, it may look like other small, local shops, with locally made products and a few interesting goods to browse. (I ended up buying the last 'I'iwi bird pin they had on display, which I loved!) After reading some other reviews, I realized we may have just gotten lucky because the owner happened to be in that day. Let me say this upfront: they advertise slow black coffee and they mean it! The owner (Brian?) takes his time with each customer, chatting with you to understand what you're looking for and making some suggestions. It's clear he enjoys both his craft and engaging with customers. It was not very busy while we were there, which added to that relaxed, Hawaiian vacation vibe. We really enjoyed the conversation with him and even walked away having learned a few new things. We took our coffee and other purchases to enjoy on the bench outside, along with some stone cookies from nearby. (There were also additional tables and chairs available on a side patio.) Overall, we loved both the experience and the coffee, and we will definitely plan to stop by again the next time we are in the area!

Service was incredible, very personable and educational. Atmosphere was very homey. 10/10 would…read morerecommend. Will definitely be back. The mocha was really good.

They had cute chairs and ig post worthy wall backgrounds. I love how everything is PINK! The service was very fast, maybe took 3 minutes to make. My strawberry oat matcha was delicious, but I did see they had some baked goods but opted out this visit. Will come back again soon!

Coffee Girl is no doubt one of the coffee spots Hilo can boast about although it wasn't super…read moreimpressive in my opinion. This, however, is not to say that it doesn't have charms in it. Mostly in mint color, the interior is simple and yet it does emit a lot of cuteness. What was eye catching to us was the swing inside at one of the side windows. Whether it's okay for a person to actually sit on it to enjoy a little swing time is something I didn't find out from the young lady who manned the upfront bar by herself, if it's solely as a decorative piece to create the kind of ambiance this place suits to manifest, it does do a lot to attract visitors' attention. The lady was quiet and yet kind enough to give us everything we needed for the late morning walk into the town. My daughter and I wanted to split quads of espresso shots so that was our only order and yet we needed two separate cups with lots of ice in each cup with a little side cream (half and half) so we could make our own iced latte or cappuccino later (we didn't want ice immediately after the espresso was made as it would have diluted the coffee had it been made that way. Sounded like it was a little too much to ask which we felt a bit awkward. The kind lady simply did everything for us. Thanks to her for being so accommodating to our demanding needs!!) The shop is located from other businesses oceanfront so it's walkable to other things as long as you are talking "the center of Hilo". So for the location, convenience, cute ambiance and patience in service, we enjoyed our quick pick up experience while we were in town.
