Awesome spot for a good meal and great coffee! The staff is super nice and made sure everything was perfect. The views are always amazing and it's such a nice establishment. Well kept and fits the island vibes. Little ways from the busy areas but a nice scenic drive here. Be sure to make a trip here for an all around experience! Also their cheesecakes are really really good! Different flavors like lilikoi, ube, etc.

Food: their coffee tasted great! I forgot to ask if they can make it less sweet so I'd say to me their original flavoring is on the sweet side. However their coffee is probably by far the best one that goes super well with milk we ended up buying some packs of their grounded coffee and beans. Service: it's a small and hidden shop but the staff is warm and helpful. Ambiance: deserted retro style overall. Cozy and chill.

My food was OK. My rice was hard. There was out of everything that we wanted. No potatoes menu said they had waffles no waffles. The chicken the chicken was no seasoning look like it was frozen. It's heated up, but my pancakes were good. The juices was good, but there was out of papaya. The coffees were good so I'll overall I'll give it a good three food not too well but if you come here for drinks is a good

Two eggs, fried rice, and Kalua pork.   Rice is peppery, not soy sauce

The kalua pork is delicious! We had avocado toast, an omelet a castaway cold espresso and big island also served cold. The food was very good- highly recommend. Eggs cooked perfectly.

Very yummy breakfast and smoothie. We also got some baked goods to go! We don't drink coffee but the people next to use were saying how good it was too. Well worth stopping if you are in this area!

Storefront, how cute!

What a cute little place! Almost missed it on the way to the volcano national park. Charming in-door and small outdoor seating area and friendly staff. We got a few items to-go, but would be back to sit a while and enjoy the place on our next visit. My mom got a latte and banana muffin and I got a small side of potatoes and sausage. Drink came out hot and fast and was probably the best coffee we had on the island, and that's saying something as coffee is everywhere, and locally-grown. Prices are great as I believe the coffee was around 5 and breakfast about 10. While your out driving around to a destination, or just want to get away from all the tourists, give this little gem a try.

16$ açaí bowl which comes solid frozen
Z Y.

The 16$ açaí bowl comes solid frozen ; the mango smoothie tastes like pure ice+sugar; the loco moco costs around 20$ but worths 6$; the coffee is okay; the lady cashier is unhappy today. However, if you enjoy dinning with flies dancing around, this is the right place!!!

Menehune is my go to spot for coffee and breakfast on big island. Service: the gals there are absolutely amazing!!! They treat you like family, even when they're slammed everyone's working hard and you can tell they care a lot for their customers. A rare thing nowadays. There's ample outdoor and indoor seating, tons of cute wall art, and behind the espresso bar there's a super neat mural showing the "pick to process" of their coffee I absolutely love menehune!!! Also pro tip for anyone wanting to treat your staff of lunch group to phenomenal coffee, call 24 hours in advance and they'll accommodate a full service to-go drip set up for your crew! Thank you menehune, sorry I havnt been by lately as I'm on mainland, but miss you all and sending hugs your way!

Loco moco, Kalua pork omelette, so tropical smoothie
Chelsie S.

Stopped by this place for breakfast before driving to Hilo, and it honestly was just okay. I was expecting more from the food, but it was pretty mid. There isn't much parking, and it's a small area. The Kalua pork omelette was good, and the so tropical smoothie was good as well, but I feel like you could find many other smoothies in HI that would beat the ones here. The flavor is very subtle, almost nonexistent, especially with the mango smoothie, which honestly tasted like water. This was disappointing because we didn't taste mango in this smoothie at all. Also, the loco moco was something I would not order again because I did not find the onion rings on the top to taste good, and the patty was a little tough. Service was alright, and food wasn't horrible, but I just wouldn't return because there are so many other places in HI that are more worth the money!

Stopped in for a cup of coffee and had absolutely incredible service. The store was clean. The vibe was perfect and it was on a main road traveling to other parts of the island. Highly highly highly recommend.

Classic waffles were a complete disappointment :( it was dry, tasted like unfiltered water, nothing like a waffle! Price point is outrageous although it does look nice! The local sista and brada at the register were nice too so mahalo for that. Unfortunately this dish was junk! Second time to order food from here and just disappointed, again! The coffee shake that's not pictured was good! $19 for plain waffles and a coffee shake down south Kona is crazy pricey. Should give Kamaaina discount next time

What a gem that's flung far from Kona, in the middle of nowhere off the side of Highway 11. It's…read moregot this old Hawaii meets Japanese comfort food charm that evokes a wistful presence from yesteryear. There's something about a flower being pinned to your hair as you're seated to eating a bowl of saimin as Unchained Melody plays in the background that brings a nostalgic smile to your face and makes you feel right at home. Oh - and if you ask the server what's in the Kona Beef Curry Stew... it's beef and curry. Ha. Tellin' them city folk like it is.

We tried out this legendary Japanese Hawaiian diner near the end of our trip. It is literally like…read morea slice out of history! Not to be missed! They have a TV showing historical clips of the Japanese immigrants who moved to Hawaii. We learned so much just dining there! The servers were very nice and friendly. They even offer free, hot green tea. It wasn't crowded when we went there for lunch. The server said we could order from the dinner menu too. The restaurant is decorated with a bunch of old family photos. It's not a fancy food location, but a place that is in the locals' hearts. Also, it's not standard Japanese American food, so don't come in looking for rolls and such! Instead, they serve fresh, perfectly prepared Japanese food with a Hawaiian twist, favorites like saimin and shrimp tempura. The large saimin ($16.17) was delicious and really hit the spot. Toppings were Spam, eggs, and veggies. Simple, but tasty! Shrimp tempura appetizer ($14.85) was a pretty large sized dish. The pieces have a lot of crunchy batter and the kids loved it. It was a bit greasy, but that's to be expected. DH got a Oyako Donburi with sashimi ($21.93). Wow, the sashimi was truly amazing! So tender, it just melts in your mouth. The eggs were cooked with bamboo pieces which kinda threw DH off. I liked them, but DH would've preferred it without. The flavor is sweet/salty and pretty mild. It came with miso soup and some pickles. Parking is right in the front and backs into the main road. It can be spicy getting out if traffic is heavy. They don't have a lot of bathrooms, so there might be a wait. Those are the downsides. Otherwise, a wonderful local place to eat!

So yummy! We came for coffee and tea and had to share a crepe. I was excited to see that they have…read moregluten free crepes and ordered the shrimp and calamari which also had potatoes and avocado sauce and it was excellent. I think the crepe may have been made with buckwheat as it was darker in color and had a rich taste. All savory crepes come with cheese which doesn't work for me so they put that on the side for hubby to have. Definitely recommend this cafe. They are busy and everything is made to order so be patient if you come at the lunch hour.

I walked in and was completely ignored though there were two people behind the counter and only one person in line ahead of me. I waited patiently, feeling like this was a test. Locals know you go slow and be patient and you get good service. Aloha only. As friendly as I could possibly be, I asked for drip coffee of which there was only the dregs left in the pot, but enough to fill my cup. I was okay with that and paid, about $4.20 before tip... then found my cup (16oz) was only half full. I said thank you cheerfully and left, thinking they'll just pour the rest of that pot down the drain. The food looks good if a little expensive, but I'll never go back there. There's other places where the service can really suck but the food is ono and the price is good, like L&L. You can get a meal there for less than $10. I can deal with poor service, but poor service and high prices... nah bro.
