Quick service. Coffee smoothie was delicious. They kept asking if I wanted it flavored which I didn't understand. They said they can make it flavored like vanilla. I opted for just regular black coffee. It came out so good! read more

Aka'ula Lanai - Coffee Smoothie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

Nice little grab and go spot. Banana bread was fresh and good! 5 stars. Breakfast croissant was buttery and ham and cheese were fresh enough. The egg was a little spongy and the entire sandwich was pretty oily. 3.5 stars. Probably one of the better places to eat on-site but could use improvement. read more

Aka'ula Lanai - Menu 12.3.24 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

Great location. It was very nice to have a coffee shop in the hotel at the Marriott. I did notice that if you didn't arrive early enough they did run out of items. Things are pricy compared to what you can get at the market across the street and island vintage coffee. Sitting area is pretty and service was good. Very friendly staff. We ended up only grabbing breakfast here once. read more

Located in the lobby of Marriott. Very convenient and fast service. Hawaiian latte was absolutely perfect! They also offered 100% Kona coffee, which hubby really liked. Little pricy but worth trying at least once. read more

Aka'ula Lanai - Hawaiian latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

This one is part of the Marriott Waikoloa. Let me start by saying the service team is so kind. The coffee though, is so so bad. Like gas station bad. Take the time to walk across the street and go to Island Vintage. I ended up just throwing it away. The burrito wasn't bad. It is just a quick microwaved one, but we enjoyed it for something quick. We had done açaí bowls across the street for several days and were ready to add some protein back into our lives lol. The seating area is great with the open breeze and beautiful view of the resort. read more

Aka'ula Lanai - Ice latte, coffee, and burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

On service alone I give this a 1 star Waited 24 min for just coffee and water. Another 12 for the server to come back and take our order. Food is what you expect from a hotel restaurant (it gets you by) Flys are a constant even with table fans. Figured service was a one off and went back. No it took us 33 min from seating to coffee and order. We have 15 days left here and not many breakfast options for early eaters in this area but this will be a pass. read more

Fast service is only benefit and decent cashier person. The English muffin sandwich is priced twice what it should cost, and tastes of heavily of preservatives. It's mediocre at best. Many of the breakfast dishes they serve are out of stock. read more

The customer service was real nice and friendly. You can enjoy your beverage while over looking the ocean read more

Coffee and pastries are great. The service was just okay, but the ambiance is amazing.

Very overpriced but guess you pay for convenience. Went a few times in the morning during my stay and each time they were out of varying ingredients for drinks/food. View from the sitting area is really pretty read more

I like it here. Convenient to hotel guests and located right across check in. Used this place to grab coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and some pastries before our day at the pool. Coffee is decent, sandwich was okay, but we really enjoyed the home made banana bread they offered. It was really nice, moist and tasty, with some chocolate chips inside. It is a Hawaii resort, so expect to pay resort prices here. Workers here were pleasant as well, and worked quickly to fill our orders. read more

We all know that resort convenient food and beverage are expensive and i am OK with the price. What i am not OK with is the deceiving. On display, it is a huge breakfast burrito. In reality, it is a mini size burrito. The food quality is ok, we should not expect much since it is a cafe stand. I would not review it as culinary experience food. Marriott, please stick to reality. We understand the over head cost of convenient food at the resort but don't deceive us. read more

Aka'ula Lanai - MINI Breakfast burrito? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

Came at the 6 o'clock hour and ordered a large warm latte with macadamia nut milk. That option is usually never an option so I took advantage of that! They also had almond milk as well. Their food options were easy if you eat gluten. If you are gluten free there are hard boiled eggs and oatmeal. The sitting area here is the large lobby of the Marriott hotel and its open air seating. There are tables and chairs with great Wi-Fi and I was able to sit comfortably to do homework on my laptop. Service was fast and my order was accurate. I wish I asked what coffee beans they used. Regardless it was a great latte. It was over $9 and some change which is comparable to the area and you can charge it to the room if you are staying there. Would visit again. read more

Good coffee spot while on vacation. Other options around but still good. Food choices are great.

Very quick and polite service. They were friendly and supportive in whatever I decided to choose. They made my order correct and fast. I didn't order food but the area was neat and clean and tidy. read more

This is a very convenient place to get coffee while you're at the Waikoloa Marriott. Unfortunately the Quality of the coffee is not up to price you pay. It was weak and tasted about the same as the room coffee. We didn't eat anything but the items looked good. I hope they improve on the quality of the coffee. We love this Marriott but we also love our morning coffee. read more

Stopped over on a long walk around the bay. Coffee was good enough. Love the atmosphere. Crunches, music, breeze all very pleasing.

I am giving the rating of 4 stars mainly because It was the earliest opening restaurant in the area where I could get some coffee and light breakfast (pastry and cold wraps). Trying to adapt to a six hour time difference often left me wide awake, so I would get up, write my Yelp reviews from the day before in the lobby outside this restaurant/breakfast bar, and the head over as soon as they opened at 6 a.m. local (noon by my biological clock.) They do have decent pastries. I especially enjoyed the blueberry scone and the banana bread. They serve coffee at that ridiculously scalding temperature that a lot of places do (probably made by non coffee drinkers or ones that add tons of milk or cream to their cup). I had to buy, then wait which is frustrating to someone who has already waited for them to open. I can't comment on their dinner options because there are so many great restaurants in the area that I ran out of vacation before dining here. And my late nights were pretty much spent sleeping, so I didn't get to enjoy their live music and cocktail specials. Review #2376 read more

Having spent several weeks at the Marriott hotel earlier this week, had my regular morning brew and breakfast at the grab and go on the main floor of the hotel, overlooking the ocean. Staff were absolutely fantastic, and in quick time were ready, anticipating my usual order. My Americano with a splash of almond was done right every time, and the rotation of fruit bowl, breakfast burrito, or pastry I would go through never disappointed either. Highly recommend the burrito as a great item to take on the road, as it satisfied plenty times before a long hike. Definitely worth a stop to either grab a coffee before some down time at the pool or remote work in the lobby, or fueling up before adventures out and about. read more

Aka'ula Lanai - Breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii

I got a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese and a bagel. This was pressed like a panini. This one was so good! The bacon--delicious! They have a lot of different food options and lunch options too that are already made. Pastries are available if you prefer a cold option as well. Staff were very nice here. I also got a tropical fruit smoothie which was creamy and delicious. The wait was maybe 5-10 minutes. It wasn't bad. I had a delicious breakfast here. I'd get food here again. read more

We went here for breakfast and was seated right away. The staff really seemed to be pushing for us to eat the buffet but we wanted to order off the menu. Our waitress was quick with getting our orders and serving drinks. But the food took a looong time to come out. She came around to apologize a few times. She even brought out a complimentary fruit and bread platter because the wait was so long. We didn't mind the wait... I mean it's Hawaii--we're in no hurry! Eventually the food comes out and it was so worth the wait. Everything was delicious (my photos don't do much justice ... I had one of those waterproof cases on). So far all pros, but there's a huge con: the birds. Because it's outdoors... birds were everywhere. It was nice at first... one or two pretty birds flying in and out. But as I'm waiting for my food, the restaurant became more crowded and more birds came. As I was waiting for my food to come, I'd see birds swooping down to eat other people's food as soon as they get up from their table... and I don't know if there's anything they can do about flies... but flies were annoying too. Had to constantly shoo away flies while we're eating. read more

Always a friendly and efficient crew for our morning coffees and pastry. As locals, this is a go to spot for us a few times every week.

Excellent food and very friendly staff Not staying here and came in for breakfast. Tables are very well spaced out and the seating area is completely open to fresh air and partly covered. Kaui was the staff member who helped us and she was great. We ordered the French toast and the frittata- both were fantastic! The food was flavorful and fresh-tasting. The coffee were both very good. The frittata needed some salt but no big deal, right? We appreciate having multiple vegetarian options and were also tempted to order the Bircher muesli too (eyes bigger than stomach and all that ). Kaui was great and we really appreciated her warmth and attention. We also appreciate the covid precautions and reinforcing this for those who aren't convinced of the benefits. We look forward to coming back. read more

Rubbish experience. We had breakfast and are currently sitting for dinner. We came from the neighboring Hilton for a change of scenery. Both times we were swarmed with flies. During dinner especially, if there's no breeze the flies here are insane - if you are not constantly twirling your napkin - best of luck. In your ears, face, food, in you drinks - EVERYWHERE!! All they need in this so-called high-end hotel are tiki torches with citronella or fans or bug-zappers. Avoid unless you have a breezy evening. read more

Great breakfast. Croissant breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito was delicious. Enough to share for 2. Coffee was ok and needs to be a little stronger. Customer service = 5. Food = 4. Coffee = 3 read more

Pizza isn't worth $20, but the atmosphere to eat it with is worth more than 5 stars. Order the Lava Lava (off menu), it's so ono.

Happy hour is the best here! Sliders, edamame and salad are all on the pupu menu. The view is divine and you have live music every night to watch the sunset by.... read more

This cafe is fine if you're staying in the hotel, but not worth traveling to. The coffee was average and they didn't have fresh half and half (only preserved half and half in those little single-serve cups). The coffee was also scalding hot to the point that we had to go back and ask for ice, so be careful. The breakfast sandwiches were good, but they were microwaved and not made to order. The service was good and prompt. There is nice seating in the lobby surrounding the cafe with good views. read more

The sunset views are amazing. However the cocktails and food are just meh. If you happen to be in Waikoloa and want to catch an amazing sunset, this is a great place. Just have a cocktail and go to dinner somewhere else. read more

Taco Fiesta Absolutely Garbage. Lettuce some kinda fish a dab of sour cream and call it taco It is an insult to our Mexican friends and those of you who know what a taco is and it should it should taste like. It it cost $6.00 for one. Please call it something else, like I wanna be a taco! read more

Ordered sliders (beef and mahi mahi), edamame and brussels sprouts... so good , we came back!!! Service is a lil slow, but we enjoyed the beautiful view and music. A place to relax and enjoy yummy food!!! read more

Great views and drinks. Slow service. Love the decor overlooking the bay and pools.

Great 100% Kona coffee!!!! Get it iced with a little milk/milk alternative in it and it is super delicious and refreshing. Best coffee in the area. read more

So amazing! Beautiful Hawaiian music, unbelievable sunset great service and Ono pupus and really good drink specials! Can't say enough good things will definitely return. As a local we need more venues like this! Aloha read more

Beautiful environment and appealing menu but the service is SOOOO slow... Not a place for dinner. Probably appropriate if you want to take your time and spend tons of time doing nothing but enjoying the breeze and browsing on your phone. read more
