Coffee Shops in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Kailua-Kona sits in the heart of Hawaii's famous coffee-growing region, where many local roasters work directly with nearby farms to showcase single-origin Kona beans that can't be found anywhere else in the world. The coffee scene here blends serious bean expertise with laid-back island culture—you'll find baristas who can tell you exactly which elevation your coffee was grown at while serving it with that unhurried Hawaiian pace. Many of the 32 independent shops occupy converted plantation buildings or oceanfront spaces where locals gather to talk story over cups of coffee that literally grew down the road.
