Crema's Take
“Puna Chocolate Company's Big Chocolate Island is a chocolate lover's paradise where locally grown Kona cacao shines in everything from their signature frozen hot chocolate to creative drinks like the cacao chai latte. The vibe here is warm and welcoming with a relaxed, slow-sit atmosphere perfect for lingering over quality drinks and pastries, plus an upstairs cocktail lounge for adults looking to add a little extra indulgence to their visit. Whether you're stopping by with family, meeting friends, or just craving something special, the combination of exceptional local chocolate, thoughtful beverage options, and genuinely good service makes this a standout spot on the Kona coast.”
What to expect
