This place is so nice!
Very good coffee, helpful and pleasant staff (korean).
I had a panini (delicious) and I’ve also tried the shaveice and açaí bowl.
Full score!
Best, Best, Best Shaved ice around! I got some Coconut special with ice cream in the middle, condensed milk on top & fruit spearhead all around! A must have when in the Kona area or if passing through to Volcano National Park!!!
Natural, vibrant flavors that actually taste like the fruit, real fruit toppings!! Go here!! It's the best on the island!
Utter deliciousness �All natural syrups!! I didn't realize that there was going to be ice cream � in middle of my Coconut � Island Shave Ice. So it was a extra pleasing surprise.
Fresh fruit shaved ice. A must have!
Yummy yummy come check this place out first time here already went back three time love the coconut shave ice ��
Delicious! Loved the lilikoi. Passion fruit! Yum yum �
We saw their sign saying they used fresh fruit in their syrups and decided we needed to try them. We tried the Mango Paradise and LOVED it. We came back a few days later and tried the Lilikoi Volcano. So yummy with the ice cream, popping boba and mochi garnishes. We even drank the melty goodness left at the bottom of the bowl. Friendly service as well. I hope you guys stay around for a long time.
Best Shave Ice in Kona!! Great customer service and free extra syrup if you need it! ���
Best shaved ice on the big island! The little gal at the register was so helpful and so sweet! Must try the Lilikoi Volcano!
SO GOOD! Everyone back home is asking about the picture we posted. Great service, super friendly and helpful to us novices and absolutely delicious!
Excellent homemade syrups with real fruit pieces. Delicious!
Best shave ice ever!!! Their customer service is also fantastic! <3
SUPER GOOD WITH AFFORDABLE PRICE! I especially love the shave ice because the syrup they use is organic! it is for sure better than all the other shave ice places! Strongly recommend�
This shop is a small counter-service spot with some outdoor seating available. The bowl was cool and refreshing, and the fruit toppings were fresh, but the açai base was too sweet for my liking and was likely store bought — you couldn’t taste the sourness that you’d get with a fresh base. There was a lot of granola, but it was a quality mix. The small (16oz) bowl came out to a little over $12 which is the cheapest I’ve seen on the downtown kona strip. Service was very quick and polite — maybe only 3minutes between when I ordered and got my bowl. They also serve shaved ice and drinks, however I only tried the açai.
My husband and I keep coming back to this spot for the amazing açaí bowls! It’s in a perfect location to walk around and enjoy the ocean view while eating a yummy bowl. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the Kona area!
Our first time having an Acai Bowl and it was awesome. We had the Kona Wave Bowl, Monkey Bowl and Custom Bowl and all were so fresh and surprisingly light. Also had the Tropical Medley smoothie and Kona Wave Latte which were also really really good. Gonna go back tomorrow 😁. Enjoy.
Absolutely refreshing and tasty! We got the island bowl. The fruit was fresh and the açaí was not too sweet. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go again. Mahalo
Great açaí bowl spot with small menu but everything we had was very good. Would stop at again!
Awesome smoothie bowl! A little over-priced but delicious.
Went here for breakfast and it was good. I had the kona wave latte and it was good. The right amount of sweet and smooth. I also tried to island acai bowl and absolutely loved it. The fruit in the top was sweet and ripe and complimented the acai and granola. My mom had agadao (sp?) which was their ice cream in coffee and she's obsessed lol. Definitely recommend especially if you're staying at any hotel near the Cafe.
Oh! My! Goodness! Gracious!!! So delicious! So many choices! Cutest little place!! As with any of the outdoor dining areas we were joined by the cutest little gecko 🦎!! We love coming to Kona Wave Cafe and will definitely be going back on our next visit to Kona!!! Keep up the great work!!! My mouth is watering thinking about our next visit!!! 🤤 🍨☀️🥰
Best açaí bowl ever!!! Service was super quick and they had a small outdoor seating area. Parking extremely limited so best to park somewhere else and walk but it’s so worth it!!
Tried out this place on my second last day of my trip to Hawaii and I only wish I had found it sooner. This was the 2nd bowl I had on the trip and it was fantastic. Traditional açaí bowl that tasted great. The fruit was on top and granola in the middle which helped with spreading and is always preferred. Prices were really fair with a 24 ounce bowl coming out to $14 and some change.
The service was also really quick. With 4 people in line ahead of me I still ended up in and out in about 10 minutes.
While I didn’t plan on getting Hawaiian shaved ice here I will certainly be returning for this. The shaved ice was huge and was pretty cheap for as much as you get.
This place is the perfect stop for your cold sweet treat and very fair prices. 100% recommend.
All I wanted was an açaí bowl and boy did this place deliver! Açaí bowls are plentiful in size very tasty!
I got an iced honey latte and an acai bowl and both were delicious! The large bowl was a great value and filled me up. Would definitely recommend checking this spot out while in Kona!
The bowls were so good!! I feel like they are generous with their portions, especially with how much granola they give you. It’s $12 for a regular bowl, but then for an extra dollar you can get a large, I didn’t even up getting the large because it is huge for just me, but would recommend it for the price/value!
Our fave shaved ice on the island with ice cream in the center! We had shaved ice at other places and it either wasn’t as fluffy or syrup not evenly distributed. The Açaí bowls are really good too.
Tasty açaí bowl! Base is blended with blueberry, not sour and lightly sweet. A lot of granola!!! Not sweet but crunchy! It’s like I’m eating a bowl of granola lol. I think it’s too much 😂😂😂
I ordered the monkey bowl with pineapple, goji berries and mochi. The pb is a lot as well! The most special thing is that I can add mochi in the bowl!
Fruits are not very sweet, but fresh.
Overall I like the taste and texture of the base but too much granola!
Good Açaí bowl but little pricey. $16 for 24oz
Stop looking at this review and come get some!
We spent a handful of days in town and ate here every single day. It was a touch warm so we had the Acai Bowls over and over and over.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their produce if you have any questions. Covid precautions were still taken seriously here so expect to order and pickup through the window.
I had the standard one which is on the top of the menu (can't remember the name but remember the taste). I also had some pineapple added which was delicious and fresh.
You'll love whatever you get!
Love their Acai bowls! Best in Kona. It is a little hard to find since it is off the road. It is located south of Quinn's and east of the old Splashers Grill.
Has literally the best acai bowls in Kona! Monkey bowl is out of this world! Coffee is also great. Very much satisfied!
