Sep 11, 2026"The coffee at Kona Coffee & Tea was excellent—we enjoyed it enough to return several times. The outdoor seating is cute, although it is located alongside a neighboring fast-food drive-through, which makes parking and navigating the area awkward. Lines can also be long. Online ordering was not working. Our biggest disappointment was ordering a plain avocado toast with no additional toppings. Despite clearly explaining the request, it was prepared incorrectly three times, and the staff gave us a surprisingly hard time about correcting it. I would still return for the excellent coffee, but the handling of a simple food request and note the parking can be a challenge."

I was quite impressed with the staff. A team of one girl and one boy were calmly keeping the line moving. They remained patient and polite, even while having to deal with rude tourists. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order. During that time, I enjoyed browsing the locally made soaps and scrubs, candles, pottery and hand bags. They even had a wine cooler stocked with some bottles that looked amazing, and were all in the $30 range. And the coffee? Well, it was phenomenal! The grass fed butter made it creamy and gave the foam a nice golden hue. The coconut oil nicely complemented the bright flavor of the Kona Coffee beans. Most importantly, it left me with a sense of well being and gave me a mental boost. Can't recommend enough!"
