White chocolate mocha was refreshing on this hot day. The coffee is calming, flavorful, and smooth. I thought the price for a small was high... Until I relished in the flavor. Every sip had high impact flavor. Ask about the special creation because the ingredients will be surprising. So interesting and intriguing to try. Im a creature of habit but I would be willing.

AMAZING Coffee! I had a 5 hour layover and my Lyft driver recommended I stop by this place when I asked where to find great, local coffee. 10 out of 10 recommended stopping by for anyone staying on Kona or if you have a few hour layover and enjoy high quality coffee on their ocean front patio. The staff was highly knowledgable and offered free samples to ensure I picked the right flavor for me. Ive had Peaberry beans before, but these were some of the best Ive sampled and will be re-ordering these online until I can make it back.

Coffee and staff are amazing!!!Ps. Guys, please, replace your lids for iced drinks…I always spill some drink trying to open lid.

Great place for real Kona coffee and delicious bagels. My wife had a Kona blend and bagel with cream cheese, while I had a 100% Kona coffee. The coffee was outstanding and the bagel was large and delicious. Pricing a bit high for the bagel (almost $5), but very good quality. Highly recommend.

The %100 Kona coffee was acidic, which is not my favorite. The blend Kona coffee (%35) had more body, but still acidic. The cheese Jalapeno bagel with cream cheese was great.

My first impression upon walking in was that the ambiance definitely captured the Aloha spirit- the owner was super friendly and inviting. I asked for his suggestion and he whipped me up an ‘Island latte’- It was a mix of vanilla, hazel nut and oat milk deliciousness. To be honest I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The price matched the quality. Oh, and there were gluten free snacks!! I’m definitely coming back.

The gentlemen at the register was nice but the lady working with him was super rude to him while we were there. Customers dont want to see your nastiness. The white chocolate mocha I got was ok. It had almost a fruity undertone to it and not much coffee which surprised me and then made me sad. The store is beautiful and has very reasonably priced French presses and cups.

This is by far the best coffee Ive ever tried. We have our family doctors right upstairs from Kona and every time someone has to go to the doctor, I always ask them to bring me back a coffee. That is the main reason we love going to the doctors. The Hawaiian Mocha with coconut flakes is by far my favorite (:

Fabulous. Salmon caper cream cheese bagel❤

Clean, convenient and friendly staff make this a good choice. They offer 100% Kona coffee as well as 35% Kona blend. Aloha.

Hands down the best coffee shop in all of Hillcrest. Their specialty coffees have unique Hawaiian twists and flavors but their classic coffees are still amazing. Be sure to try the Hawaiian Mocha that they’re famous for - a mocha with hints of banana and coconut.

Coffee is amazing! Great staff!

Cute little coffee shop. Their lattes are amazing! Ive been here twice during mine and my husbands weekend getaway. Ive tried the island latte and the Kona mocha. They are both amazing! They also have a great iced tropical green tea. Will definitely come here again!

Great coffee!

Chai tea and cookie were excellent, although a little pricey.

Awesome staff and great tasting coffee. Couldnt ask for a better experience.

I have been to this place a couple times and have not been disappointed. I always get the white mocha frappe it is delish it’s probably the beat I’ve had. Like forget Starbucks this taste way better. Their pastries are pretty darn good. I’ve had a brownie and their lemon bars and they are great. If you’re in the area definitely check this place out.

Great iava not cheap tho, and a quick fix in the morning

We loved the coffee. Much better than the Starbucks up the street. The coffee itself was very mild and the latte was exceptional. They have a website with half pound packages for sale. Anxious to try it.

One of my favorite coffee shops hands down! Super great coffee always served with a smile. They are always so friendly at Kona and there are plenty of yummy pastries and Island treats to browse while you wait for your latte!!

A standard coffee place that also sells other drinks, snacks, and pastries. Its not the largest space, but is fine for a brief break. Prices are pretty average and the staff was nice for the most part.I got a strawberry banana smoothie, which was fine...I know its a coffee place but Ive had the iced coffee before and its just like any other place. The chocolate croissant would have been better warmed but I dont think its possible.

So good the Kona coffee is the best and the pecan snacks were great

First time here and omg 😳 its sooo good! Definitely recommend!

The best coffee. Everyone there always treat you very nice. The coffee isnt bitter. I buy a bag of coffee about every three weeks.

Really good Kona Blend coffee plus best fruit/nut scone Ive tasted in a long time. No bathroom is a big downer. Told to use BBQ place across the street. Loved the comfort vibe but needs a little spark if theyre going to keep telling people to go elsewhere to relieve themselves.

Great place and wonderful friendly staff

Cozy atmosphere and delicious coffee. Best lemon bars I ever had. Staff was congenial.

Love Kona coffee! Anytime Im in the neighborhood I have to go. They have some unique drink flavors. Staff are helpful letting you know what the drinks taste like. Pastrys are good as well!

I love this place. Great selection of drinks and snacks. A vanilla chai and acai bowl all in one stop? Yes please. I would stop every morning if I could.Bit thats the one problem, which I know is beyond the shops control, bit the parking in that area is terrible, especially if you just want to run in quick for a coffee. They do validate so you could park in the garage, but thats a lot of work for a coffee. So keep parking in mind if youre in a rush but still need your caffeine fix.If you have the time then this is a must stop.

Was very lovely inside with ample seating and the coffee (Hawaiian Mexican mocha) was perfect!

This place is wonderful. We make it a point to stop here for some coffee while visiting. Their white chocolate mocha is absolutly perfect and the service is just a great. If you are waiting to eat at snooze just across the street. Stop by here for some coffee while you wait. You wont be disappointed.

Got an iced coffee for me and some water for my boys. The lady serving us was incredibly SLOW which bothered me because we were kind of in a hurry. On tip of that, I had to tell her several times that one of my boys didnt want ice and one did, and she screwed it up anyway! I asked for soy milk in my coffee but it was all chunky looking, which was a turn off. Im pretty sure there are ways to prevent soy milk from getting like that, I never have a problem with it. Aside from that, the coffee itself was pretty darn good.

Slightly upscale feel to this place with a subtle tropical theme that is reflected in some of their coffee drinks and snacks ks. Excellent selection of pastries. Very nice lattes and cappuccinos.

Great place to go for a nice coffee and a bite. Been coming here for years, my family and I are Kona lovers. Fast and friendly service, they know how to make you feel cozy and comfortable.

I normally stop by here on my way to work. This place is awesome and has great coffee. The service has always been outstanding. My favorite barista is Clarice, she is always smiling and brightens up my day whenever I stop by!

Discovered this wonderful coffee shop waiting to eat at snooze..... turns out the Kona coffee shop was a better choice.. absolutely love this place.. every time i visit San Diego this is a must come...

This is really good coffee. The blend or 100% Kona are really good.

I love the individual attention the owner gives each customer. Kona coffee is my favorite.

I enjoyed this place! Came from out of state, the breakfast place across the street was an hour wait so decided to try here and I love it! The coffee was sooo good (to me) and im a coffee lover. The coffee had a different and unique taste, must be the Kona coffee but it was really good. We also got the croissant sandwiches and they were sooo delicious! The croissant was fluffy! Staff was friendly as well. A very nice quick stop! Recommended =)

I really enjoy kona coffee. And its convenientLocation in Hillcrest.Located at 5th ave. AndUniversity. I usually get the hose blend...Or I get the caramen frappuccino..whit whipped cream..yummy..the staff is really friendly. I truly recommend Kona coffee.Im going back...are you???Ask for the caramel frappuccino you wont regret it..so there you go.this is my review of Kona Coffee..in hillcrest.hope it was helpful and you could use it .

Excellent service very friendly. Clean comfortableplace to enjoy a chop of coffee and a muffin

Great place, great coffee and service. Would be nice to update store hours on Sundays being that they actually open at 7a.m. but advertise 6a.m. Helps to keep customers from wondering why store opens late but otherwise a nice place.

This place has one of the best coffees Ive ever had. Service is great.

This is the best coffee place in the San Diego area. Not only do they have the traditional lattes and cappuccinos, but they also have some amazing island themed drinks with very unique ingredients (like coconut) that may seem weird, but end up working out to be a great beverage.

The coffee is fantastic. quick and nice people. great service

The white chocolate mocha was the best Ive ever had! Out beats anyones WM! To bad I theres not one close by my home town, it was well worth the visit on our vacation!

I had their Hawaiian iced coffee and it was the best iced coffee I might have ever had! So yummy!!

Great little coffee shop. Awesome coffee. :)

Coffee is great but could improve their acai bowls. Barrista was nice ! She let me have a pen! Lol life saver

Small place with decent coffee. Fast service.

Great service strong coffee dont have a kona shop in Phoenix glad I was able to try it today very nice people!

The coffee is good but the barista is extremely rude. I walked in with my laptop, and she volunteered even before I sat that the wifi is not working. I searched for the network and it was there. I waited until the new barista came and asked her. She immediately said that the wifi is working and gave me the password which worked.

Product itself was good (coffee, bagel, acai bowl) but the 2 ladies working were subpar. Very slow, messed up an order and didnt really try to correct it, and werent very positive. Also, a couple came in with their dog (against health code, wasnt a service dog) and they came out from behind to pet it for a few minutes. At least she washed her hands.

Really enjoyed the banana latte while waiting for Snooze.

Iced coffee was great, but pastries are on the meh side.

They have the wake me upper caffeine when Im in the need to get going. Plus, try the healthy acai smoothy.

Great coffee and cozy location. No bathroom so not an ideal work/study spot.

Good coffee

In LOVE with this nice little coffee spot!

Cheats and Liars. Refuse to accept coupons, promos, and discounts they themselves advertise; like to pretend they dont know where they came from but appears to be a scam to just get customers in the door.

Best pumpkin spice chai latte ever!

Great coffee & expresso drinks.
