The Coffee Shack

Was recommended by a local. Went there before sea kayaking. Hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had! Went out of my way to go there again to get coffee and their banana nut bread. The best stop on the Big Island.

This quaint little coffee shop had one of the most breathtaking views on the Big Island. The service was prompt and friendly. The place was off a major road but easy to miss if you weren’t looking for it. Equipped with WiFi, good snacks, and even beer and wine, it was definitely a place I would frequent if I were lucky enough to live there.

Great views. Flavorful food. Good staff. Delicious coffee.

Wait was too long (for good reason)so we opted for to go. The hot pastrami, fried egg sausage with Portuguese sausage, and iced coffees were sublime 😍. On the hot pastrami, they used a Dijon with mustard seeds that was so delicious and it came with a pickle, pepperoncini, and chips. The fried egg sandwich was one of the best my husband has ever had. Definitely worth the stop!

Great coffee, awesome view, amazing food! Recommend the French Toast and Papaya Bowl.

Loved this place and so glad we stopped by!! We came for the geckos and were not disappointed. Additionally, the view was absolutely incredible and the food was delish. They had multiple different homemade bread options for the sandwich, and we loved the one we chose. Highly recommend.

Wow! I came here every morning. I came for the incredible views but kept coming back for the incredible food and coffee. The staff is the best. How can a place be this perfect? Somehow it never feels crowded. It's peaceful, even when it's busy. You must come here if you visit Kona. I recommend trying the daily special. They make these fresh and get their ingredients for the following week. So it's a legit daily special. The portions are big too. Don't forget to get the cheesecake.

The place is lovely with tropical plants surrounded. The view of coast line is very beautiful.

* Update: just visited for our 2nd trip to Big Island and it was JUST as amazing as we remembered!! A must visit!! 🌺🤙
LOVE this place!! The coffee, breakfast, cheesecake, THE VIEW! It's one place we miss the most from our trip to Big Island, can't wait to go back!

My family thinks I'm being stingy by only giving 4 stars because they would have all given 5. The atmosphere was amazing (and the view is a 10 star), the staff is super awesome, service was quick and perfect, and my family all loved their sandwiches. I wish I had gotten a sandwich because then I probably would have given 5 stars, but I ordered the pizza and I wasn't very thrilled. I didn't like the crust at all and even though they grow their own pineapple, they used canned pineapple. We bought a couple of mugs on our way out and they gave us a couple of their super-awesome pens!! Woot!
