Kona Coffee Cafe

Overall good coffee at a good price. Be careful not to walk pass it as it is small and easy to miss.

This coffee shop on Alii drive is amazing! We love to visit this spot every time we are in Kona. My husband and I enjoy the coffee and my kids enjoy the smoothies and shakes. We ordered couple bags of the pea berry dark roast and it’s one of our favorite coffees!

The best coffee I had in Big island. The lady who runs the store was very friendly. They offered free samples, we bought some coffee from them. I am definitely going to miss that kona coffee. Wish I could get here in US.

This place mostly caters to tourists around the area. I was excited to try out some authentic kona coffee from the source, but this isn't the place to get your fix if you really enjoy a good cup of coffee.

I got a cup of coffee as well as peaberry and normal coffee.

1. None of the coffees have roast date on them and that means they do not really know when it was roasted. I should've known when they claimed they get new shipments in every day, it really means they have no clue when new ones came in and old ones went out.

2. The coffees didn't taste fresh - I should've known from lack of roast date, it tasted like it's been sitting there for awhile. I was able to get some fresh kona coffee from other places and compare, and you definitely know when coffee is freshly roasted. Overpriced for what I got.

3. This place has mostly flavored coffee. Now don't get me wrong, I like good flavored coffee here and there (a lot of good brands have couple of flavors), but this place has MOSTLY flavored coffee, focusing more on that vs plain coffee which was actually more difficult to find. You would never do that with amazing beans because you want the focus to be on the beans itself. It's like putting BBQ sauce all over $100 steak. You mask the base with flavoring if the base is not great.

4. They reheated old cup of coffee when I ordered a cup. I did order close to closing time but even Starbucks will hand drip it for you if they don't have anything and Starbucks has awful over burnt roasted coffee. I've never seen that before at a reputable coffee cafe.

In all, I would say skip this and go to another coffee roaster or coffee farm near by. There are so many choices and I regret wasting my money here.

My boyfriend and I got smoothies from here! They were so delicious and fresh! The whipped cream on top was the best!

Every time we come to visit Kona this is a must see ! We absolutely love their coffee and always take several bags home with us. This time I ordered several bags and had them ship them home , they arrived at my home prior to me coming home from vacation ! Amazing customer service and they also have the best smoothies!

My boyfriend and I were living in Kona for a few months for work. This was our favorite local coffee! We really enjoy the peaberry macadamia flavor! We like it so much that we had some shipped to us back here on the mainland! Their staff is so friendly and shipping was quick!

We were blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. We had a great experience and they were so welcoming in letting us try all kinds of coffee. We ended up taking home a few bags of the peaberry blends and, most notably, the chocolate-covered peaberries (which are beyond delicious - I'll be placing an order online shortly for more)! One of our favorite memories on the Big Island for sure.

Years and years of great coffee--chocolate macadamia nut. It is so smooth and perfect. I buy it all the time. I do not drink anything else at home or on vacation where there is a coffee maker. Just beyond delicious

The ladies here are so friendly! They have many flavors, mostly Peaberry beans but also regular Kona coffee. And right past the shop is the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee while watching the ocean.
