Kona Coffee Factory

Highly recommend the Local Kine smoothie. It was out of this world delicious! Coffee, bagel, and breakfast sandwich were also great. The smoothie was so good we made sure to visit a second time while on our vacation!

Our first time getting drinks here, they were delicious and the coffee cake was delicious. Customer service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Fast, great customer service. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and that ube whip is 🔥. If you don’t know what you want Jeanette won’t steer you wrong.

🌺🤙🏽 Huge shout-out to Kohola Coffee 🐋 🙌 Every time I stop by, I leave feeling so much aloha. This coffee truck is a true gem in our community, with reasonable prices and the freshest local ingredients. What makes it extra special isn’t just the amazing coffee, it’s the heart behind it. Jeannette built this business from the ground up, and you can feel her passion and hard work in every detail. It’s rare to find a spot that serves incredible drinks and creates such a genuine sense of community, but she’s nailed it. Even if you’re not a coffee person, there are plenty of other delicious drinks (the matcha is my favorite) and the food always hits the spot. The convenience of the drive-through also makes it so easy to swing by and grab something tasty on the go. Highly recommend stopping in, it’s the best coffee shop in Kona. Plus supporting a self-made local entrepreneur who pours her heart into everything she does is the best bonus! 🌴✨

Best coffee on the island! Very reasonably priced too. The owner is so sweet and knowledgeable about coffee and espresso. I got the Ube latte with Ube whipped cream and my sister got a matcha drink (mermaid garden).

Shaylee was an outstanding barista, hospitable and warm and bright even at 6:30 in the morning. The special matcha drink, “Mermaid’s Garden” comes very lightly sweetened only by the blueberry compote. The blueberries in the bottom was giving healthy boba sipping experience. I like my matcha with some sweetness, and Shaylee happily added some vanilla for me. It made all the difference. the ube whip cream on top was spectacular especially on its own. I’m craving it still. The ham and cheese croissant was perfectly toasted. It totally hit the spot and fueled me for my hike.

AMAZING! Service was wonderful, and delicous coffee and smoothie, best we’ve ever had! We tried the Ube iced latte with her homemade Ube whipped cream- OMG, a must try (wish I would’ve gotten the biggest size)! 😋 We also tried the Kai Uli smoothie with coconut milk, the fresh fruit made this very refreshing and tasty! Kohola Coffee is a must stop visit, definetly making another stop before we leave. Mahalo! 🐋

Others have said it because it is so true... The Ube Latte is amazing. Get it with the Ube whipped cream!!! Great food truck for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, and other amazing beverages! Worth the stop! Drive up, like a local.

Struggling to understand the hype of this place. It was nice that we could drive through. $11 for a red bull smoothie is pretty steep (I'm from Alaska where red bull smoothies are the norm). There was almost zero flavor in it. I asked for raspberry and she poured the rest of the bottle in the mixer and never opened a new bottle to put more in. It was also not blended very well and had chunks of ice in it. We also got a white chocolate mocha with caramel. She put the syrup in the bottom and every on top and never mixed it up. So when you drank it, it was bitter/zero flavor for 3/4 of the coffee and then all syrup at the end. There is better coffee on the island.

We just arrived in Hawaii, and this was the perfect first stop! The coffee is absolutely delicious and the croissant sandwich was amazing: fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. Smoothie has real fruit so many flavors exploded in my mouth it was so delicious! Jeannette was so warm and welcoming, even gave us little flowers, which made it feel extra special. The quality of everything here is outstanding. We left a generous tip — they truly deserve it! A must-visit spot if you’re in the area. Thank you so much for such a wonderful start to our trip!
