Crema's Take

White Nene Coffee Roasters is a serious espresso destination on the Kona coast that's earned cult status for daring flavor combinations like their legendary miso black sesame latte, which keeps customers coming back for second cups. Every drink feels like a thoughtful creation rather than a routine order, whether you're exploring their signature creative drinks or settling into a perfectly balanced pour over. If you're willing to venture beyond traditional coffee, this is the island stop that could spoil you for everywhere else.

if you could only get one coffee on the island i would go here. especially if you are a black sesame lover. the miso black sesame was maybe my favorite coffee i’ve ever ordered anywhere. soooo yummy :,) wish i lived here so i could be a regular. the guys in the truck were so kind too :)

The Black sesame miso latte is quite good. I don’t have a ton of experience to compare it to personally, as I am a black - specialty (third wave if you will) coffee drinker. But they specialize in espresso based lattes, so when in Ro - Hawaii, try what they seem to do Honestly I rarely like the random drinks I try, but this latte was great imo. Not too sweet, no weird flavors that don’t meld or anything like that. It’s mellow, smooth and flows well. No bitterness or bad after mouth taste or feel either. My wife always gets hot chocolate - everywhere in the world we go - despite it being 75 and sunny when here that was still her order. She decided to try it with a little local touch add-on of brown butter miso. She’s a really tough grader, and she loved it - 9/10. Service: They were super busy - no sorry, we’ll be right with you or anything of the sort while we stood there and waited for probably 7+ mins. And we didn’t care whatsoever, but if you’re one of those ppl that do, you might wait til it’s not slammed outside - it’s quite easy to tell. Personally, I cared that they made the drinks well despite all the orders. And they did - so we got our drinks and left. Nbd for us. If you want a hangout, again, probably don’t stop if it looks full. Parking is also relatively limited on the street, it’s a small area and they share a parking lot with other businesses there. I recommend and will likely be back to try the other unique lattes they’re whipping up

Best Mocha I’ve EVER had ANYWHERE in the world in my ENTIRE life. This epicurean delight was amazingly well balanced, robust and silky smooth. Artfully prepared. After finishing, I came back for 2nd one!

Stopped here for coffee and had such a pleasent time! Both drinks we bought felt uniquely crafted and way better than your run of the mill latte or whatever you get at a typical shop. The gentleman working there was extremely inviting. Not only were his drinks delicious but his vibe put my wife and I in a very cheery mood.
