Banyan Tree Cafe

This is a GREAT place for coffee in the Kona area. It's on a university campus with a guard shack, so don't be put off by the secured entrance, as you just stop and say that you're interested in visiting the coffee shop and they gate attendant opens the gate for you. It's a beautiful campus and the shop itself is just up the road from the guard shack, with an amazing view, lots of outdoor seating on a deck, and gorgeous plants and trees surrounding the shop. The espresso drinks were first rate, they have oat milk, and the guava and cream cheese danishes were tasty as well. We visited multiple times during our stay in Kona and highly recommend for mochas and lattes. The only downside is they appear to be closed on weekends (which allowed us to enjoy another really good shop in town... Kona Coffee and Tea Company, on Palani).

Very cozy place, refreshing drinks and very friendly staff. Definitily can recommend!
