Crema's Take
“Tucked in Kailua-Kona, this bright and airy café feels like an instant escape with its light-filled interior and genuinely warm hospitality—owner Jen makes guests feel like family from the moment you walk in. The menu strikes a perfect balance between quality specialty coffee and satisfying breakfast offerings like croissants and açai bowls, while the relaxed atmosphere makes it equally suited for lingering with a laptop or catching up with friends over garlic aioli-laden sandwiches.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We loved this cafe! The coffee was really good and we loved the breakfast we ordered- we got the croissant and an Acai bowl. The barrister was very accommodative and thoughtful in asking how we wanted our coffee! I would totally recommend
Great place that seems quite new. Friendly service and good food. The Acai bowl was huge but we would have wished for a second avo toast, the portion there was smallish. I am deducting a star because everything is served on disposable plates and with plastic utensils. For the…
I was basically the only person in the place, got my coffee and they unapologetically forgot to make my sandwich, as I kept looking back to kitchen, finally the front desk girl noticed and went back. No one apologized, like it’s normal to take 45 minutes to make a breakfast…
