Uncle Kimo’s Coffee Shop
76-5900 Mamalahoa Hwy, Kailua-Kona, HI
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Kailua-Kona with views that stretch toward the ocean, Uncle Kimo's is a laid-back gathering spot where excellent Kona drip coffee pairs perfectly with creative breakfast bites like veggie egg cups and gourmet toast, all enjoyed in a garden setting dotted with tropical herbs and pineapples. What keeps locals and visitors coming back isn't just the thoughtfully crafted menu, but the genuinely chill vibe and warm service that makes you want to linger over your cup and soak in the aloha.”

Excellent coffee! Great customer service. The shop is great to hangout and enjoy a great coffee and treat (lots to choose from).
Very beautiful spot. The food was delicious 😋 we ordered breakfast burritos and coffee. There is a small garden with a variety of herbs and chilies. The pineapple 🍍 garden was beautiful to see. And to top it off the koi pond. The team is full of energy and very attentive, at first we were going to sit on the benches in the front and then Heather directed us to a table in the back with an open space. 😀 we will come back when we visit once again. There is plenty of parking in the back so don't hesitate to stop in for a drink or a quick breakfast or lunch.
I highly recommend this coffee shop, not for the menu, but for the amazing vibes and atmosphere. First off, the beverage menu seemed limited, so I stuck with a Kona drip coffee. I also wanted to treat myself to a sweet baked good, but my choices didn't go beyond a few different flavors of muffin. The double chocolate muffin I selected was yummy and the coffee was adequate, but here is where my experience got really good. There were a few seats available at the open "window bar" that overlooked the street and the ocean. I got to spend 20 delightful minutes sipping and munching while staring into the deep blue sea. All the while, some precious Hawaiian gentlemen were treating me to live traditional music (complete with stand up base) that was coming from the outdoor eating area that connects the coffee shop to the restaurant next door. And also a shout out to the brave young lady who was heroically running this busy shop all by herself and smiling nonstop! Mahalo!
Fantastic experience here, the food was great, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was chill. We stopped here for breakfast and had so many delicious menu items to choose from. Decided on the Breakfast Burrito, Avocado Toast, and a special Banana Mac Toast. For coffee Mac Nut and Sugar Cane Lattes. Everything was excellent! We hope to come again.
Beautiful place overlooking the ocean. The service was pleasant and the coffee was great! Veggie eggies (egg bites) are great and everything else looks delicious. Even the awesome toasts that are not pictured bc they're made fresh. 🤙🏼❤️ The seating areas are awesome!
