ChadLou's Coffee Roasters
45 Hoolai St Suite B, Kailua-Kona, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Kailua-Kona, this espresso-focused roastery excels at what it does best: crafting smooth, flavorful lattes and pour overs from freshly roasted beans, with a genuinely welcoming crew behind the counter. The quaint space invites you to linger over your coffee with a warm pastry (the mini doughnuts are legendary here) and browse the small collection of local memorabilia, all while enjoying the relaxed outdoor seating that makes it perfect for both solo contemplation and casual meetups.”

Coffee was great but matcha is not at all up to par with other Kailua offerings. Poor color green, powdery and chalky, not quality you’d expect for $7. If you want good matcha, this is not the cafe to stop at. Holoholo and The Well are both heads and shoulders above this.
Truly amazing!! This is a real coffee shop. We had an amazing plain latte and pour over. Smooth and flavorful.
Came by the cafe and ordered an iced coffee and iced Hawaiian Maui Black Tea. Was served by a friendly and approachable barista. The place was quaint, nice with small memorabilia one can purchase home and coffee packs as well. Lovely indeed!
Freshly roasted coffee, What more is there to say. Ok, I'll try to say more. First, try the mini doughnuts, you have to try the mini doughnuts, Oh, so tasty. The staff are welcoming and friendly. I could have stopped and talk for a while, yes, that friendly. The entrance doesn't look like an entrance, don't be afraid just walk in there. All the way to the end and on the left is the counter. The place to sit is outside. Great place, I can't wait to visit again.
Nice little coffee spot, friendly service and great outdoor seating area. They do a selection of food too - all in the fridge cabinet; some items served cold (salads etc) and others are heated up for you. Coffee was great, as was the muffin. They have an in-store roastery so they know their stuff, and beans are great!
