My husband and I stopped by Koana after a recommendation from a friend while we were on our way to…read moreVolcano. I mean this with all kindness, but I think my friend undersold the place! At first glance, it may look like other small, local shops, with locally made products and a few interesting goods to browse. (I ended up buying the last 'I'iwi bird pin they had on display, which I loved!) After reading some other reviews, I realized we may have just gotten lucky because the owner happened to be in that day. Let me say this upfront: they advertise slow black coffee and they mean it! The owner (Brian?) takes his time with each customer, chatting with you to understand what you're looking for and making some suggestions. It's clear he enjoys both his craft and engaging with customers. It was not very busy while we were there, which added to that relaxed, Hawaiian vacation vibe. We really enjoyed the conversation with him and even walked away having learned a few new things. We took our coffee and other purchases to enjoy on the bench outside, along with some stone cookies from nearby. (There were also additional tables and chairs available on a side patio.) Overall, we loved both the experience and the coffee, and we will definitely plan to stop by again the next time we are in the area!

One of the drinks ( ole coffee ) was completely forgotten and was only brought 50 minutes later ( and it was watery ) , after we reminded the staff. Additionally, our second croissant was replaced with a bagel without asking us first. We were so taken aback that we didn't even say anything - we simply didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. I do not recommend this place.

No aloha and worst customer service of any coffee bean and I've been to them all over the country. The Vegas airport CB had more aloha at 3 am than these folks. I went on my birthday , it's a franchise so they don't honor the birthday gift which is fine, but they took forever to make my drink, then made it wrong, rolled their eyes when I said I asked for white chocolate not mocha. Then proceeded to remake my drink but slowwwwwwly after I'd already been waiting forever. Didn't offer to make anything else or could've made it larger or even just been apologetic I would've appreciated. I said I'd take the misfire for my friend who was with me and she scoffed and threw it in the trash. Super rude and never want to come here again. I'll just buy the powder online and make it at home if I must. Don't want to waste my money being treated like crap for a coffee
