Clover and Mug (Kona Inn Shopping Village)
75-5744 Ali‘i Dr #123, Kailua-Kona, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Kailua-Kona's Clover and Mug, you'll find inventive drinks like icy Ube Cream cold brews and silky matcha lattes that locals genuinely rave about, paired with creative savory-sweet bites like crofles with smoked salmon and bulgogi paninis. The beachside location makes it a perfect morning stop to grab quality coffee and pastries before settling in with an ocean view, though arrive early to beat the crowds and occasional service inconsistencies.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available.

got their nutella and banana cream croissant waffle which was awesome! also got an iced caramel macchiato with oat milk that was really not good, low quality oat milk (you could see oat pieces floating) and no espresso flavor :/
The server girl is so rude and impatient. She literally yelled at the one Asian couple customer before me. She yelled “one second” very loud to the couple who was about to make order. We customers are here to spend money. The server made me feel like I owed her money. It makes…
- Coffee is great. We had a Ube Cream with cold brewed coffee. - Food is also good. I had a croffle with smoked salmon. It tastes salty (salmon) and sweet (the bread made by croissant dough in a waffle form), which is not my personal favorite. My friend had a panini with…
I really enjoyed coming to this small joint, they have delicious drinks you can never go wrong with any of the options they have. They do get pretty busy in the morning so just keep in mind of the wait.
