Everything seems to be made to order, and the sandwich was loaded with flavor and all of the ingredients tasted super fresh. The strawberry bingsoo was probably the best shave I've I've ever had. Fresh strawberries with whipped cream and incredibly fine shave ice. Wish they had this back on Oahu. Definitely drop by if you're in Kona!

I've living on Big Island for 25 yrs and got thier "tourist treatment" experience recently when I…read morevisited Peaberry & Galette on Kona side. I just wanted coffee. 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.

Lovely people & lovely coffee!…read more Coffee 5/5 Dirty Coffee - Tasty and the caramel crisp is such a unique touch. Very innovative! Vanilla Bean Latte - Tastiest one we've had on the island. Service 5/5 There was a miscommunication, no one's fault. We initially got an espresso instead of a vanilla latte and so she gave us a latte on the house. Very kind of her. Happy to get cracked out on their coffee any day.

The owner are super knowledgeable and very friendly! We had a great chat with them about coffee,…read moreeverything from beans to brewing to their Weber EG-1 grinder. We got two pour overs, a latte with oat milk, and a dirty coffee with oat milk. Super smooth and tasty coffee, the pour overs were exceptional, not sour at all! If you buy beans from here, they'll even give you the recipe and a sample of ground coffee so you can compare how fine to ground your coffee, super helpful and something we haven't seen other coffee places do!

Great Kona coffee in a wonderful casual atmosphere!…read more I had to meet up/interview a potential Big Island candidate in Kailua-Kona and I was basically looking for a casual place where I could meet, enjoy a drink, and have a little bit of conversation. Kona Coffee & Tea was the place of choice here in Kailua-Kona. Located at the Kona Coast Shopping Center, you can find this little coffee shop just next door from KFC. The coffee shop is easy to find, as other business surrounding this business is the KTA Superstore, Hele Gas Station, HFS Federal Credit Union, O'Reilly Auto Parts, as well as many numerous eateries. It was late in the afternoon, so I basically came here for some drinks. I had to try their Kona Coffee, and I must say it did not disappoint! The coffee shop has indoor, as well as covered outdoor seating. The shop does sell some food items, but I did not partake or looked at what they had to offer. There was also coffee shop merchandise, but I did not have time to take a look at what they had to offer. Overall, as great coffee shop and if I'm in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by for their wonderful coffee.

Kona Coffee & Tea really makes it a point to articulate that their coffee is 100% Kona coffee. For…read morethat reason, some of their drink offerings are priced accordingly, with a 12 oz medium pour over costing $10. Unless you're a coffee connoisseur, you may want to skip the pour over for something a bit less special to save yourself a few dollars. The coffee was fine, but my unrefined palette was not able to fully appreciate the cup of brew. In terms of atmosphere, Kona Coffee & Tea has plenty of seating outdoors around the porch and a few high tables indoor, where they have AC blasting at full strength. They have free Wi-Fi available as well, so I saw a lot of people posting up on their laptops. Parking is plentiful and easy to find since this coffee spot is located in a strip mall. If you have a discerning palette for the subtle flavors that show up in different coffee beans, you will definitely want to stop by for a cup.

HICO is known for their ube which I tried- I like that it's not super sweet, just a hint of and I think that's all you need for good coffee. You still want the coffee to come through. The salmon loc was also not bad- good breakfast. Thank for letting me bring my . I'll be back when I'm in town.

I ordered the ube latte, for some odd reason it had no sweetener when I took my first sip. It was…read moresurprising. I went to the bar and saw a bottle of simple syrup with writing that said "help yourself" perhaps they don't add sugar to any coffee and you have to do it yourself? Cold brew was really sour, perhaps that's the taste of the coffee beans itself. We ordered the loaded spam musubi and spicy crab musubi. They are really loaded, for $17 each, it's pretty expensive for rice and spam. It's heavily covered in sriracha and mayo. We weren't fans of how much sauce covered the musubis, we had to scrape it off. Id opt to eat a normal musubi, save yourself $17
