Sunrise Flavors on the Kohala Coast

Stepping into Big Island Breakfast in the quiet, sun-drenched town of Puako feels like joining a local family gathering. The air carries the distinct, sweet scent of roasted Kona coffee beans and sizzling island-style Portuguese sausage, immediately grounding you in the laid-back pace of the Hawaii Island lifestyle. It is the kind of spot where the walls are kept open to the tropical breeze, allowing the ambient sounds of morning birds and distant crashing waves to serve as your soundtrack.

The Morning Plate

The kitchen leans into local sourcing, focusing on what makes the Kohala Coast special. Their macadamia nut pancakes arrive at the table with a generous drizzle of coconut syrup, striking a balance between fluffy texture and the rich, buttery crunch of locally grown nuts. If you prefer a savory start, the kalua pork benedict is a standout, pairing the smoky, slow-cooked meat with a perfectly poached egg that flows across a crispy English muffin.

A Local Morning Ritual

Because the shop is situated along the main thoroughfare of this serene seaside community, seating can fill up rapidly during the weekend rush. You might find yourself sharing a picnic-style table with a local diver heading out for the morning or a visitor planning a day trip to the nearby petroglyphs. Parking is a bit of a dance—you’ll want to pull carefully into the small lot to avoid blocking the narrow roadway. It is not a place for a hurried meal; it is a destination for those who want to watch the sun climb over the horizon while enjoying honest, well-prepared island fare.

Overpriced breakfast buffet. Food wasn’t terrible, but the pricing was. $55 a person.

Overpriced and disappointing. First impression: staff was less than enthusiastic and seemed bored and annoyed. There was a lot of variety but everything was under/overcooked and lacking flavor. For being a coffee island the coffee was burnt and lacked depth. For the price ($55/adult; $27/keiki I would have expected immensely better food and service.

Having breakfast here was neither relaxing in service, inspiring in cuisine, or fulfilling in any form. The breakfast buffet was 2 tables with 4 warm pans on each table, there was typical sugary cereal options, 2 juice dispensers, an assortment of fruits and cold salad, and some pastries. These types of things can be found at an airport contenential breakfast, if anything, the airport contenential breakfast might be executed better. This is not what I expect at a large, sprawling beach side resort. The food was sufficient and did the job of filling our stomachs ahead of a pool day, but it was a far cry from being worth $55 a person. Even with the food and beverage credit ($18 per person a day as a gold member Hilton perk), we are still offended at the price. We highly recommend finding your breakfast elsewhere. There didn't seem to be enough staff, and the ones that were on shift at the time were kind but clearly are overworked. They seem exhausted and stretched thin.

I recently had a blast trying out the Big Island Breakfast at the Hilton Waikoloa Village! The buffet spread was seriously impressive, offering so many tasty options that it was hard to choose just one. And if the buffet wasn't enough, the menu had plenty of great picks too. While my wife tackled the buffet, I went straight for the loco moco dish, and boy, was it amazing! Our server, Rebecca L., was an absolute gem - super friendly, quick on her feet, and really helpful. And let's talk about the view! Sitting by the water's edge, enjoying a coffee or a Bloody Mary, it was pure bliss. Definitely a spot worth hitting up for a laid-back breakfast with fantastic food and great vibes.
