Food scene
This is our all time favorite restaurant here in Kona! We highly recommend getting the Poke Nachos appetizer- but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. The atmosphere is fun and inviting! Check their events calendar for live music nights. Highly suggest making reservations.

A coffee shop by day - lounge at night. We love the chill vibe of this restaurant. Food is a little pricey but coffee is great! Seating can be hard to come by as it isn’t a very big shop.

A great “plate lunch” place that is very frequently visited by locals. They offer a huge menu with many options - everyone will easily find something they’re craving. We highly suggest the “Spicy Garlic Chicken” plate with an extra side of Aioli sauce!
