Must try spot! So much better than most of the chain coffee spots around the city. Please do not waste your money at Starbucks or Dunkin coffee. There is no better bean than a Hawaiian bean 🫘 really!

The coffee itself is super smooth and light on the palate. This is what Hawaiian coffee is renowned for. I opted for the cold brew as it was hot as balls out.

Most places give you some blend that you really have no idea what you’re drinking. But you don’t have to worry about that at Kona. In order to be true Kona coffee the beans have to be grow on a very specific part of the island which in within a certain altitude that has a unique...
