Crema's Take

“Nestled right across from Kailua-Kona's beachfront, Kona Wave Cafe is a small, breezy spot that excels at fresh açaí bowls—the Kona Wave and Monkey bowls are local favorites that strike the perfect balance of refreshing and filling on a warm Hawaiian day. The casual outdoor seating makes it ideal for a quick grab-and-go, though the patient staff and waterfront location invite you to linger a bit longer if you have time. Fair warning: skip the shave ice unless you're there after 11 AM, but do trust the enthusiastic reviewers who've made the açaí bowls their ritual.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Light food on the menu.

This açaí bowl came quick and was delicious! I loved the kona bowl and enjoyed the monkey bowl. These are some of the best on the island. I loved the outdoor seating and the workers are very nice. I definitely recommend for a late breakfast around 10, super lad back fun place.

My two boys and I shared a large açaí bowl and we all loved it. Great food! Will try to come back for some shaved ice.

We had some nice acai bowls for lunch one day and they were surprisingly filling. The flavors of the fruit and granola work well with the acai. Great alternative to a lot of heavy brunch food and this one was tasty.

Kona Wave Cafe – Kailua-Kona Kona Wave Cafe is in a great spot right across from the beach in Kailua-Kona. It’s a small, casual setup with only a few outdoor tables, so it works more as a grab-and-go place, perfect if you want to take your food and enjoy it by the ocean. I…
