"What a great little spot. Big area to sit and hang out. Located close to the action in Kona. Little darker espresso than I prefer but overall solid coffee. Kona coffee which is obviously awesome for a trip to Kona!"

"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."

"Nice avo toast bagels. Papaya is fire. They have coconut yogurt too if your lactose intolerant. Coffee great. Drip was a little watery for dark. Maybe do a pour over if you want some texture and viscosity. Vibe is nice. Outdoor seating around back is nice little hideout."

"Being a healthy foods enthusiast, I was delighted to try the Kona Bullet coffee. The shop was super busy, with large groups of people enjoying the outdoor terrace. 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!"
