Green Flash Coffee

75-6000 Ali‘i Dr, Kailua-Kona, HI

★★★★4.3(549 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Green Flash Coffee is a tiny, intimate Kona spot that's earned serious devotion for their signature Mauna Kea Mocha—reviewers consistently call it the best they've ever had—and a killer French toast sandwich that'll keep you satisfied all morning. The small, one-group-at-a-time setup creates a genuine slow-coffee experience where you're encouraged to linger and explore their creative drink menu and hearty breakfast offerings. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors alike find themselves coming back repeatedly, discovering something new each visit.

Loved the French toast Sammie with ham! Also enjoyed the Mona Kea Mocha! One of my favorite breakfast stops in my trip! Kept me full almost all day!

We have a small coffee business Hilo side, and we’re in Kona for the week looking to sample some of the local coffee shops in the area just because we rarely have the opportunity to try other peoples coffees. I would say we have pretty high standards for recommending places to friends and fellow coffee connoisseurs. This was our fav stop of the entire week. The quality of shots being pulled and the quality of local grown and roasted coffee was 100/100 This is exactly what small hand crafted batches can taste like when the stars align. The food felt the exact same for us. Like it was crafted with love and care. I did forget to include a picture of the syrup that came with the French toast Sammy but both it and the salmon bagel were the best breakfast Sammy’s we’ve had on island. Pretty sure everyone in my family is getting coffee beans from green flash this year. Thank you for such a gorgeous experience. 4 stars for atmosphere just because limited seating in the hot Kona sun 😅

Everything about this place is awesome. The people, the food, and the Mauna Kea Mocha. Hands down the best mocha I've ever had! Only 1 group at a time in the store, as it is small, so there may be a line, but don't let that deter you!

Green Flash Coffee was right around the corner from where I was staying in Kona, and after my first visit, I couldn’t stop coming back! Each time I went, I tried something new and was never disappointed. The staff are amazing. So kind, friendly, and always ready with great recommendations (which were always spot on). It’s no wonder there’s constantly a line out the door! Drink-wise, I tried the Haupia Iced Latte, the Gianduia Iced Latte, and the Mauna Kea Mocha Iced Latte and I still can’t decide which one I loved most. For food, I had the Monte Cristo, the French Toast Sammie, and the Ham & Swiss Panini … all absolutely incredible. This place is warm, welcoming, and everything they have to offer is delicious in every way. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m on the island!
