The barista said the drink hasnt been ordered before and she was going to try one and possibly at the combo to her menu.

Staff are friendly and the ambience is fun! Great Hawaiian coffee here. Highly suggest for coffee and matcha lovers. They also sell Hawaiian coffee beans!!

It was the last day in Hawaii and I hadn't had my Loco Moco so I was on a mission to find it. I…read morecame across the spot as we were walking by. It is two stories with open views of the ocean. It has great views from both levels. They sat us upstairs, which was more quiet than the downstairs. Our server was nice and attentive. I placed an order for my Loco Moco. It is plated beautifully. It tasted really good and flavorful. It was a bit on the salty side, but it was balanced with a perfectly cooked white rice. It is a hearty meal so it was perfect for a long plane ride. They had a sign for a daily happy hour from 3:30 to 530, FYI

I was really undecided so I asked for more time and the server came back with drink orders. I still needed sometime so he said he'd be back. 20 minutes later he finally comes by - I get he was busy but wow! I ordered the Fried Rib Ends w/ a side of White Rice. The ribs ends were decliciois! I really loved the house-made guava-lilikoi BBQ sauce as it was sweet and had a nice tang to it. It was topped with tropical salsa and served on island slaw. The slaw was crisp! The server come back once but didn't come back again just to give the check. I was truly disappointed by the service which really left a bad taste in my mouth, hence the 2 stars.

Ono Loa Loco is a mountain of local delicious-ness... rice, mac salad, rings, gravy and meat. You have the option of two meat choices with the kalua pork/loco moco - I went with one of each. So good. Lava burger was finished with gusto and the sweat was rolling off my son's face. Great little spot!

We started with the Kaulua pork spring rolls. Melt in your mouth. The service was superb from when we first walked in to when we left. Warm, attentive, and friendly.

Kona Brewing Company was one of our favorite casual spots during our stay. Great service, great food, and a beautiful, relaxed setting that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy yourself. I had the Brewben both times and loved it. It was incredibly flavorful, generously portioned, and clearly good enough that I didn't feel the need to try something different on our second visit! One of my favorite beers of all time is their Hanalei IPA. It somehow manages to be light and refreshing while still having the flavor and complexity you expect from an IPA. I can never seem to find it on the mainland, so I was especially happy to enjoy it here and introduce a few of my friends to it. We also had the opportunity to try their seltzer with shave ice flavors, which was such a fun local touch. They absolutely nailed the shave ice flavor! Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and consistently great service, this became an easy repeat for our group. Definitely worth a visit while you're in Kona!

Great experience. We…read morewent here a few years ago and had a good experience, so we wanted to try it again. First, we went on a Monday evening around 6:30 PM, and there was plenty of seating. The hostess seated us right away. Our server was amazing (I wish I could remember his name), but he was definitely friendly, efficient, and had a good personality. We ordered the Edamame, which had sesame oil and a little chili flakes. It had a slight kick, but it wasn't hot or spicy. Amazing! We then ordered the Captain Pizza, which had house-made tomato sauce, MOzzarella, Pepperoni, Tomato, Black Olives, Mushrooms, and Portuguese Sausage (Large /14" for $36. It was absolutely great! We ordered light sauce, and it came out perfect. The crust was cooked perfectly. Crusty on the outside, soft and hot on the inside. The toppings were perfectly seasoned, and the large size was more than enough for the two of us (we took half home). I also ordered the Liliko'i Kea Beer, which was a tropical passion fruit, coriander, and grains of paradise beer. Perfect! Another great experience. 100% recommend!

My friend and I both had hard seltzers, which are always refreshing and delicious without being too sweet. The smash burgers and shoe string fries are so good, and the service is outstanding!

We liked this place so much, we ate here twice in less than a week!…read more We are always on the hunt for epic veggie burgers. I mean, we have literally had a veggie burger all over the country and Caribbean. You can say it's our thing...except we really didn't plan for it to become our sole mission in life. Alas, here we are, and veggie burgers are tasty, so there are worse missions to have. In any case, Google steared us to this restaurant, and we were happy with the suggestion! The restaurant is very small inside; there are probably 8 tables inside. Just something to keep in mind right at the beginning. You order at the counter, then take a seat should you want to dine-in, and they bring your food to you. My husband and I both did a veggie burger with fries. Service was very quick, which is great when you're so hungry you threaten to eat a chair whilst chewing on your hat. I mean, we've all been there, I'm sure! The fries come with a garlic aioli, and it was very good! The fries themselves were equally good and served nice and hot. The burgers were really good! They weren't super tiny, and the bread choice was a great one. The flavor of the patty was fantastic and didn't taste generic, but it also wasn't full of massive chunks of vegetables like some places do. My husband is super picky at times, and he enjoyed everything...even the garlic aioli, which was super surprising! They have a pretty decent menu for regular burgers too!
