Cafe Kopi
45 Kihapai St, Kailua-Kona, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Kailua-Kona, this café is a genuine community gathering spot where thoughtfully crafted coffee pairs with standout pastries (their vegan cinnamon rolls are legendary) and generous, flavor-packed breakfast dishes that locals rave about. The space itself is a work of art—literally—with rotating local artwork adorning the walls and shelves, creating an atmosphere that feels both cozy and culturally alive. It's the kind of place where you linger over coffee, chat with neighbors, and leave supporting both excellent food makers and the artists whose work surrounds you.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Loved the food and coffee. Ube cheesecake was amazing. Our breakfast bagel sandwiches were really good. Great portions, and the mustard gave them a real nice kick. Great service. Will definitely be back on our next trip.
This coffee shop is such a cozy little gem with a great vibe. The art on the walls and shelves is so unique and adds to the charm—if you can, purchase something to support the local artists. We love coming here for pastries and coffee; both are always fresh and absolutely…
Whoever the pastry chef is here, someone needs to marry them. This vegan cinnamon roll was the best I’ve ever had- vegan or not. Cafe Kopi has creative rotating pastries, friendly staff, and a community atmosphere. Can’t wait to see what creative vegan pastries they come up…
