Crema's Take
“Tucked away from Kona's tourist corridors, this espresso-focused cafe delivers genuinely excellent lattes and pastries (their cream puffs are legendary) alongside a genuinely warm staff that makes you want to linger on their ocean-view balcony. It's the kind of place locals return to morning after morning—unpretentious, beautifully quiet, with quality coffee and fresh-baked goods that justify the drive off the main roads. Whether you're grabbing a perfectly pulled espresso or settling in for a full breakfast and work session, you'll find yourself in a rare Kona gem that prioritizes genuine hospitality over hype.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Good food, coffee, breakfast, bakeries with nice indoor or outdoor views atmosphere & seating. Parking front and side lot. Restroom CLOSED for Customers, needs to reopen.
amazing spot for a light breakfast. the outdoor patio has a nice ocean view. the staff was very nice. the food all tasted so fresh, and the coffee selections were great. we had a tomato/egg sandwich, a veggie quiche, and a danish pastry, all of which tasted fresh and flavorful.
An amazing cup of coffee. Food was good, service was good. Well worth driving off the beaten path for. Nothing fancy but a nice quiet experience away without a touristy vibe.
The staff is so incredibly nice, the food is amazing, and this was hands down the best latte I’ve ever had. The views are stunning, and the pastries are out of this world, especially the cream puff. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Great service and outstanding food. Glad we found this gem. The outdoor seating area was lovely.
We stayed near this cafe for 3 nights and we ate breakfast here all 3 days in a row. Delicious food, friendly staff and nice view from their balcony eating area. We got smoothies, eggers and the lox bagel and I'm sure the lunch menu is just as tasty. Thanks Caffe Florian!
