    3 stars for coffee and 5 for service so I settled on 4 stars. The coffee was so watered down and weak in flavor. To be fair, it is a tea house so maybe improve coffee or ditch altogether? The inside is so adorable. My favorite were the gratitude journals where anyone can express their gratitude. The cukoo clocks were super cool.

    Desserts and pot of Hot Tea for 2 :)

    This is the cutest little tea gem in Kona! Perfect place to unwind with delicious desserts and tea. No Wi-Fi, so choose to drink tea with your thoughts, read, or bring a friend/date to enjoy with. They have a large selection of teas to choose from, coffee, desserts, breakfast, lunch items. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is definitely on point with Victorian style decorations. My favorite dessert was definitely the Portuguese tart. That crackly top was so great to bite into. We got one of their local teas grown on Big Island. Even comes with some honey and milk to add! There's free parking outside too! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Kona :)

    What a feast! The breakfast was enough to feed two people and came with orange juice as well! Their coffee and pastries are also amazing.

    Great food and quaint decor. Staff were friendly and helpful at answering questions. The AC is cold and they have lots of books to enjoy while you are there as well as coloring books.

    Super cute cafe - and delicious food! Can't get over the hats on our eggs. Service was kind and laid back. This is the kind of place you can spend an hour at to clear your head, just breathing and sipping your drink. They were playing holiday music too!

    boba tea

    Gave me a normal straw and a spoon for a drink with boba. According to an employee, the owner doesn't order items until they are completely out, it's ridiculous.

    I don't know where the people whose reviews mentioned poor service are coming from. I have NEVER experienced that here, & I come almost every year. I was there this morning and, as always in my experience, it was a little oasis of calm civility & wonderful food & ambiance. They were busy, but everyone was prompt, polite, cheerful & accurate with my order (which was eat in and take out. All I can say is go, you won't be sorry!

    Such a great spot by our hotel! We searched for coffee and this place was a short walk away. It's in a little shopping plaza at the corner. Cute decor. Out front is a small shaded seating area. Inside are several lovely spots to sit and relax. There's also tea for sale and cute pottery items. We got the matcha latte with honey and an iced kona coffee with oat milk. Very good quality. The girl who served us was so nice and helped with our order since it was our first time there. There's a gratitude journal at front table - love the personal touches.

    Ham croissant, iced latte, hot coffee

    This place was really cute. We got a hot coffee and an iced latte. My iced latte was more like an iced coffee with a lot of milk. The employees were really nice.

    Nicely little cozy cafe with lots of pastry and tea options, with some coffee and food options. We would have come to try more items, but the parking lot was basically full and the inside of the store was full as well, so we just ordered two pastries to go. Would have loved to come back to sit down and try their tea set, but alas that will have to be for another time. We got the swiss roll with mixed berries fixed with whipped cream, and the portuguese tart. Both were very delicious pastries and well worth it. The swiss roll was super fresh and light. The portguese tart had a crunchy and flaky exterior but nice and smooth inside. Staff was very friendly, though a bit distracted by the number of guests. Parking lot here was very very tight even for sedans, so not the easiest place to visit, and they were super busy in the morning. Still a cute cafe though that many seem to enjoy.

    Chai tea
    April C.

    Beautiful place. Incredibly friendly staff. It was packed, but as soon as someone got up, she said, "There's a spot over there!" How observant and helpful!!!! I had the fog cinnamon Chai tea, which was excellent, the ham and cheese on a croissant (life changing), and the desert fruit roll with whipped cream. I probably won't do the desert next time, but I'm definitely coming back for another Chai tea and ham and cheese. Yum!!!!! 10/10

    Best cream roll everrrrr
    Brooke V.

    I'm in love with their cream roll with berries!!! London fog tea is also my go to :-) Cute small cafe, has ac and pastries baked at the store which is kind of a specialty on our island.

    Iced coffee was pretty good. Ask for whole milk.

    Do the sell individual slices of cake?

    I've tried to come by this place 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Always closed when I arrive. When exactly are you open?

    Normal hours are 6am-4pm. But if in doubt, just call them and confirm they are there and open. Much easier to make a phone call than to drive all the way there to look.

We visited on a Saturday in the mid-afternoon, and most of the pastries were already gone. They're usually well-stocked at the farmers markets, though, so that's another option. One downside: If you're buying at the farmers markets, be sure to bring cash. They don't accept electronic payments, which is always disappointing. I never seem to have cash on hand, so I've only purchased from the bakery itself. Beautiful space, delicious drinks, and sourdough worth coming back for!

The overall experience felt lively and relaxed, and even the little geckos running along the railing trying to sneak a sip of syrup added a fun, memorable touch. That said, the food didn't live up to the setting. While everything tasted fresh and the presentation (especially the avocado toast) was beautiful, it was surprisingly lacking in flavor. It honestly felt like the island ran out of salt and seasoning--very bland for how fresh it was.

To begin, the greeting from Richard was welcoming, informative, and made us feel like we were visiting long-missed family friends. Once seated, the ambiance was open and comfortable, and of course, the view is beautiful. Our server, CC, was genuinely friendly and efficient despite being the only server on the floor AND shadow training a new server as well. She is skilled managing the floor! Now, as to the food.....I cannot praise it enough. The Brunch menu had a variety of options that made our choices difficult. We opted for the Lilikoi French Toast and it was fabulous. Truly memorable. We also tried the Banana Bread and it was heavenly. We were told that the everything on menu is house made, and I can say that this level of care shows. While we didn't get the chance to try any other menu items, we did watch the Salmon Eggs Benedict being served to several diners near us - it was a beautifully plated dish and we overheard rave reviews. Adding to the comfort was a musician playing guitar and singing beautifully. Frequently, he shared interesting local tidbits and stories about the songs he chose. Our party agreed that returning to Kalikala Cuisine is an absolute MUST when we get back to Kona. A big Hell Ya!
