Island Flavors with a Casual Edge

Located right in the heart of Kailua-Kona, The Spot Kona brings a relaxed, open-air energy to the Big Island dining scene. You won't find white tablecloths here; instead, expect a laid-back environment where the scent of salty Pacific air mixes with the grill. It is the kind of place where you can pull up a chair after a morning spent snorkeling in the nearby bays.

The Kitchen's Focus

The menu highlights local preferences, favoring hearty portions and comfort-driven plates that satisfy after a long day in the sun. Known for approachable, locally-inspired quick bites, the kitchen keeps things consistent for both visitors and those who call the Kona coast home. Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch between beach stops or settling in for a casual dinner, the food is straightforward and focused on flavor.

What to Expect

The atmosphere is bustling and casual, often echoing with the chatter of tourists and residents alike. It can get a bit loud when the afternoon rush hits, but that is all part of the authentic Kailua-Kona experience. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in this busy pocket of the city, so planning for a short walk is a smart move. If you appreciate a no-frills, honest meal served with a side of island personality, this is your go-to stop while exploring the west side of the Big Island.

Their spam musubi is amazing. We’re going back for more! Heads up the google maps pin is a little off - The Spot is open for breakfast in the same place the Thai restaurant is.

The Spot Kona is hands down one of my favorite places for breakfast. I’m a sucker for a homemade meal, and their food feels like it’s made with love. The malasadas? Absolutely incredible—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. The view is stunning, and the service is top-notch. Super friendly staff that really makes you feel welcome. If you’re in Kona, this is the spot!

Stopped by for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised! Food was great - eggs were clearly cooked fresh, bacon was crispy, and the POG was nice and sweet. I was nervous for the low number of reviews but this place was great! And definitely a nice break from the more crowded restaurants nearby.

It's a little confusing to find because it's actually the Tin Rin Thai restaurant. But the Spot Restaurant operates there in the morning before the Thai restaurants opens at 11am. The service was excellent. We really loved the malasadas because they are fried to order and were slightly crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. They could be better than Leonard's malasadas. We ordered the spam musubi which were okay I think they used hoisin sauce instead of teriyaki sauce. We also ordered the kona breakfast platter. Our eggs were slightly over cooked. They were very nice people though they even gave us 4 free mini malasadas to take home.

Eat well. Look good. Feel great. All you can find here at The Spot. Open only Thursday through Sunday, this is my favorite breakfast spot compared to the others. During the day, it's The Spot and later it becomes the Thai restaurant. What a perfect combo in my opinion. When something is delicious, it's zero calories. Besides your suitcase unpacked and you can take all the good stuff in. Staff is so sweet and friendly serving up the best Kona coffee. I am a huge fan of the papaya stuffed with yogurt and granola. Healthy but so good. Add a side of spam and you got your protein quota. Bae preferred their Kona breakfast platter which has rice, egss and choice of protein. Also loved their guava passionfruit juice! Don't forget to save room for the malasadas as well. I try to treat my body as a temple and The Spot lets me spoil it with goodness.
