Pono Coffee & Bakery

Great sweet and savory scones and other baked good. I had the strawberry scone and a blended spicy chai. It was the perfect treat after our long hike. They also had air conditioning and places to sit. It was perfect

Wow!!! Food here was surprisingly yet pleasantly delicious! Highly recommend stopping by here for coffee and food.

Surprising because we originally planned to eat at Pono Market, but it was closed, so we ordered food here and didn’t have strong expectations about hot meals at a coffee and bakery shop. Pleasant because every bite was super yummy!

Great value and tasty pork (recently added item on the menu), fried chicken, and loco moco. Lattes and musubi were good too.

We’re coming back for round two!

Service was also great! They topped off the coffee after adding some creamer to the cup, and asked how is everything during our meal sitting down at a table

This is a very cute coffee shop the staff is friendly and they have good pastries! We went here twice for coffee during our vacation. The first time my fiancé and I had 16oz iced white chocolate and Carmel mochas. We did not taste the Carmel so we believe they might have forgotten it.

The Second time we got the cheese, Ham and egg Pastry this was pretty good, I also had a blended Kona Mocha Frappe, this did not have any taste of coffee in it (tasted like a chocolate Frosty) and my fiancé had the same drink as last time but blended. Hers tasted way better t blended then iced. The use a white chocolate powder and a Ghirardelli Carmel sauce. If you like your coffee a little more sweet like I do, I would recommend asking them for a little more flavor due to the little flavor added to their drinks.

They do offer freshly made breakfast, but we did not get to try these.

Went in after a run on the beach path. The girl taking my order was super nice. I asked her for recommendations on the bakery items. I got a sausage roll and lilikoi cranberry scone based on what she said. They were both good. I ordered a mocha and asked for a cup of ice water which she said I could have. When the mocha was ready, the girl who made it didn’t give me the water so I asked and she said I would have to buy one out of their cooler. She was pretty rude. Too many other good coffee shops and bakeries. Definitely won’t be a repeat customer.

I had intended to go to Pono Market, but it was closed. As of 8/7/22, the market is closed Sat-Sun, and the bakery is closed Mon-Tues (despite what the google hours say). But the bakery had everything we needed- spam musubi, fried rice/egg/Portuguese sausage takeaway boxes, coffee, and pleasantly surprised to find freshly made malasadas. The family claims these are the fluffiest ones they have tried!

Came a little late, forgot it was Mother's Day weekend, they were mostly out of pastries, but we got to try their coconut and coffee ice cream. The combination was great, consistency was good and flavors really stuck out.

I called around for a special birthday cake and they made me a decorated guava chiffon cake. Hands down one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. Our group unanimously voted it a favorite. Going back to try other offerings!

The Pono Market (next door) has been there since the beginning and is an authentic Kapa’a original with lots of great finds. They just expanded and opened up the Cafe and Bakery next door which is fantastic. I got an iced chai latte and shared a pumpkin crunch slice - they were both fantastic! They’ve decorated the cafe with old photos of Kapa’a from when there was barely a store on this side of the island - very nostalgic. The staff is friendly and professional and we will be coming back here regularly!

Great place to start your day. Recommend the Chai, they make their own recipe. The pastries were also very good. We got there late in the morning and choices were limited. The staff was excellent and helpful. Only knock was the location and parking.

The manapua sells out quick, so get there early! This was the nearest bakery to our stay so we came here several times for breakfast and coffee! Nice and clean little shop. Lots of local Hawaiian treats that we love to snag every time we come back to the islands.
