Kona Coffee Roasters - East Village

Highly recommend this place! The coffee and bakery were amazing. I loved the guava scone and the Hawaiian latte. The staff was so friendly and nice. I would definitely go back 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I really liked the cozy vibe at Kona Coffee Roasters. The interior feels warm and welcoming, with a nice, simple design, and the service was friendly. I tried the iced matcha with almond milk - smooth and refreshing, not too sweet, just right. It’s a bonus that they stay open until 7 PM, which is rare for coffee shops around here. You can sit both inside or outside, depending on the mood. They also have a pastry selection, though I didn’t get to try it this time. For visitors, there’s a restroom with a code lock - just ask the staff. Overall, a stylish spot where I’d happily come back for coffee again.

Love Kona! I usually go to their Chelsea location for some laptop work and a black hot drip, but I was in the area and noticed they have a location here too so I popped in. Seb, the barista and absolute legend, suggested an iced Hawaiian Latte that was, in fact, fire! Sooooo good! Probably my new go-to drink there, at least in the summer. The space is cozy, the service is excellent, the coffee is good, and the playlist (in all their location) is awesome, too! Honestly, just ticks all boxes! ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Well done guys! See you soon :)

Good co-working spot M-Th. Plenty of tables, free wifi (no wifi on weekends or Friday afternoons). Not too busy on the weekdays; you can find a table. Decent coffee with decaf options. I did not find the barista to be particularly friendly. Kind of darker lighting and slightly cold inside. They have baked goods like muffins available. Also avocado toast, sandwiches (including a breakfast Sammy), etc.

The area outside of this place is a little bit iffy but it is nice inside. I was interested in trying this place as it has kona coffee beans, which is rare to find elsewhere. I came here twice. The first time I tried the Hawaiian latte. It has a very strong coconut taste, not too strong coffee taste. To me it was so-so but it is just my taste as I do not really enjoy coconut. The second time, I had a latte and avocado toast. The latte was amazing! It is a very different flavour to usual lattes you may get at another coffee shop. The coffee was rich and flavourful. The avocado toast was not very good. It took a really long time for them to serve it. When it arrived, the toast was quite burnt. The avocado did not have much taste or seasoning and seems like something that is worse than what could be made at home. I would come here again for the coffee but not the food.
