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.

Beautifully bright and airy café that instantly made me feel welcome. The interior is light-filled and tastefully decorated, with cozy seating and warm details that create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The iced latte was excellent — perfectly balanced, smooth, and refreshingly cold. I also tried their acai bowl, which was absolutely delicious: fresh, beautifully presented, and topped with a wonderful mix of fruits and crunchy toppings. Overall, a charming and cozy spot with great drinks and high-quality food.

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

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 sandwich. They are much more interested in their phones and chatting with each other. Coffee was good sandwich was not. Pass on this place.

Kona’s newest hidden gem! I stopped in for lunch and can’t wait to come back to try breakfast. Friendly staff, timely service and delicious food! I could swim in their garlic aioli sauce!!
