Crema's Take

Tucked into Kailua-Kona, Journey Cafe is a lush, enchanted garden-like space where innovative vegan and vegetarian cuisine steals the show—even non-vegans rave about dishes like their macadamia nut ice cream (genuinely some of the best on the island) and perfectly crafted savory crepes that transcend dietary expectations. The vibe is pure island relaxation with cozy outdoor seating perfect for lingering over slow coffee and fresh acai bowls, making it an ideal spot to settle in with friends or family and let the plant-draped, laid-back atmosphere work its magic.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Of all the places we've been to on the Big Island, Journey Cafe is by far the most innovative when it comes to vegetarian and vegan cuisine. We had the acai bowl and the savory crepe. Both were delectable. The savory crepe is easily the best I have ever had. They even made a…
