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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Best coffee I had in Kailua during my trip! Stop in for a quick coffee break or meet friends for a coffee date. Coffee is truly delicious.
If you are looking for top-notch, local Hawaii coffee this is the place!! They do a fantastic job showcasing their roasts with their quality pourovers. They also offer great lattes and do have alternative milk options! Additionally, if you are visiting the island I highly…
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!
