Ambience:
Nice decor. Christian leaning. Plants and nice seating spaces. An upstairs loft.
Service:
Service is good but you'll bus your own food cafe style.
Food:
Fresh Food is good. I've order here on 3 separate occasions and always good. Baked Items are solid.
Baked goods are solid. They make a sourdough bread and occasional other breads such as pumpkin or rye.
Lots of pastiries as well. They looks really good but haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Wait times can be a bit long because the checkout is a bit slow.
Been here a few times. This time it was packed around 10am!
This is a MUST GO if you are on the Big Island and especially in Kona- to start with the atmosphere is amazing!!! Then they have the BEST coffee (avoid wasting your money on coffee in the Main Street!!), they definitely know how to make lattes (matcha, lavender, macadamia, coconut are just a few flavors) and the BEST bread and pastries!!
Everyone in the cafe is friendly and very attentive!
Price wise is comparable with other places the difference is that there you don’t get the quality!!!
Stopped here for lunch.
Great atmosphere, comfy seating on 2 levels.
We had an order of avocado toast and a BBQ chicken flatbread, both of which were very tasty.
Hot lattes were delicious.
Parking is challenging.... Be prepared to park farther away and walk in.
Worth the stop however.
Very cute bakery! They have a pretty good variety of sandwiches, smoothy bowls and different baked goodies!
Pricing was reasonable for most items in my option.
I believe its christen based they play soft rock worship music,I guess you would say.
ALL in ALL cute trending coffee and more stop in and check it out.
Our entire dining experience was pleasant and delicious 😋 The Arise Cafe is eclectic with random furniture and decor, but the vibe is comfortable and like a neighborhood hangout with free Wi-Fi, and couches & seating galore. The sandwiches we had were divine...the Chicken Bacon Toast, Breakfast Croissant and Turkey BLT all were exceptional (tasty dressings, fresh fixings and fresh-baked bread shined thru), possibly some of the best we've ever tasted. Our dessert pastry, a Rocky Road Brioche, was flaky, yet tender and lightly sweet...not overpowering. It's hard to beat, especially in Kailua-Kona, and is close to world-class/major metropolitan-like. We're thankful we found it and will be back often for sure!🤙
Just want to start off my saying that this place is gorgeous. The lighting, the walls, the plants, and most of all the baked goods. I am really happy that there are places like these for studying and hanging out with friends. The breads, rolls, and cakes are delightful and I always have fun figuring out what to order.
The best bakery we found on the west side of Hawaii, and one with quality that would fit in among the best in Seattle. Beautiful and delicious pastries, very filling toasts/sandwiches, and a picturesque interior with heavenly vibes and a lot of sitting space.
Fabulous food and coffee. We enjoyed the loaded avocado toast and flatbread with coffee- both hot and cold. Excellent service and a neat surrounding. Well worth a visit!

Fantastic space, lots of tables and super comfy seating. There's an adults only section upstairs. I personally love the lemonades and love getting the caprese sandwich too! Deserts and bakery items are unique and delicious!!
Such a cutie cafe with unique and delicious food choices. The dessert and coffee was amazing. We got the raspberry mousse and tiramisu. There is plenty of seating. There is a nook upstairs for adults only (college/bible study/meeting spot). The live plants/decor/artwork alone makes the cafe such a cool spot in Kona. You can really tell that detail was put into everything here. Even the silverware is adorable. Can't wait to be back to try the homemade tomato soup.
2nd time here: delicious food and Latte once again.
