Crema's Take

Skip this one—Keoki's Donkeyballs is plagued by inconsistent hours, subpar chocolate quality that reviewers consistently compare to dollar store candy, and coffee that tastes genuinely bad no matter how you brew it. The signature donkey balls candies are a gimmick that doesn't deliver, with artificial-tasting blue dye and a texture more reminiscent of play-dough than chocolate. You'd be better off spending your time and gas money elsewhere on the Kona coast.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Pretty disappointed. The donkey balls suck, especially the blue balls. The quality of the chocolate here is like Dollar store grainy overly sweet chocolate. The store is fine. Feel bad for the staff as barely anyone works there. Coffee was meh too. They were out of some syrups…

Listing said open till 6. We drove 35 minutes to get there. Arrived at 5:40. Shop closed, doors locked, nobody home. 9 yr old birthday girl very disappointed.

Have tried to go to donkeyballs at least a dozen times. Always closed every time. Does not matter location or time. Battled how many stars to give them. In the end driving to kona to try the world famous donkeyballs has been a lame experience.

Donkey balls USED to be mac nuts dupped 50 times in chocolate and I loved them. The ones we bought yesterday were grainy and soft. Lousy fudge-like. Never buying again. Store was fine though. The product now sucks.

We purchased the blue ones and they were terrible. Described as "layers of milk and white chocolate" but were blue throughout. Blue dye was not listed as an ingredient. Tasted like play-dough. Crunchy ones were better but not great. I confused this place with the shop near…
