We found Hungry Honu tucked back off the main strip in Kona and it was such a great breakfast find. My husband and I shared the Cousin's BAT on focaccia and it was seriously so good. The focaccia was delicious and their housemade ranch was absolutely killer. I also got the Colada smoothie, which was super refreshing and perfect for the morning. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Kona and want a tasty breakfast a little away from the main crowds. read more

Chicken salad sandwich and smoothies were teh bomb, and adorable outside seating. Would 100% go again!! edit to add: I forgot to mention, the staff were very lovely and friendly to our weirdo little family with a rambuctious toddler. read more

Went with my wife and another friend. Had a little difficulty finding the place from the road but eventually saw their sign. Parking is behind the restaurant and up the hill about 200ft and use the lot on the right side. They will validate your parking once inside the restaurant. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the entrance was how the place was very spacious and very clean. I ordered the breakfast pizza which was about 12 inches in size, enough for about 3 people. It was very good with sausage, bits of ham, mushroom, cheese, etc. Crust was also very good. The others in our party ordered the Power Up Wrap and JetLag wrap. They liked both of those items also and they were also plentiful in size. Staff was friendly and service was fast & efficient. I would definitely come here again to grab a bite to eat. read more

Service is fast, establishment is clean and big! Food was excellent. The BAT on focaccia was a HIT! The fruit parfait was her favorite here . Rich and creamy with plenty of fruit. The Kona sunset smoothie was tasty. If I wasn't leaving today I would be back again. read more

Hungry Honu - BAT with focaccia bread - Cafes Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Nice place for families I'd say because of the games that are available like a large connect 4, jenga, etc. So many drink choices for coffee and super super sweet if that's your thing. Iced, hot or frappe for really any drink. Decent food items. So good choices I got I wouldn't get again but I'm glad I tried the breakfast burrito. If you like a lot of mushrooms and eggs get it. The Hawaiian chicken salad sandwich was alright and crispy. Depends on the day for ambiance as it can get pretty busy. read more

Stopped by for a latte, it was pretty decent. Surprisingly not all cafes in the area own an espresso machine but this one does so would recommend if you enjoy it. read more

We needed something quick and light to eat after walking around Kona for a while and came across the Hungry Honu and it was perfect for what we were looking for. While the menu was not super extensive, the food was very fresh and delicious. We tried the green goodness turkey wrap and the Hawaiian chicken salad as a bagel sandwich, and both were really good. We were able to order quickly and our food came out in reasonable time. The food was especially refreshing after having eaten quite heavy "vacation meals" most of the week, so having something light and fresh really hit the spot. The restaurant itself is tucked back off the main road but has a huge indoor seating area as well as a few tables outside. Definitely a solid spot for a fresh bite in Kona! read more

Hungry Honu - Chicken salad sandwich on fresh warmed focaccia bread - Cafes Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

A cute little place in Kona. Not conveniently located lol. The yelp address on Apple Maps took me to some apartment structure and just kinda left me hanging. I ended up driving down a one way alley to find it. I didn't know where to park except in this huge parking lot that for 1 hour of parking was $13! I took my chances tho and didn't pre pay the parking. I'm assuming this place isn't too happening because there were 3 other customers. I'm not sure if the server was joking with one of the customers but at the register I heard cussing between them and it sounded kinda heated. I had the turkey avocado sandwich and it was as yummy as any deli sandwich. Not super impressed but didn't hate it. read more

What a great find tucked away in the back of Kona Marketplace where Na Hoku jewelers and Pearl Diver Factory front Alii Drive. Walk into the Kona Plaza arcade and turn right then head toward Sarona Road and go left into the restaurant. I had the combo bowl of clam chowder and a half BAT (bacon arugula and tomato) sandwich . Generous servings, lots of bacon! Thursday special was 20% off coffee drinks. Great service, very clean. My friend are will be back to try more specials and food before she puts together a group luncheon social next month. read more

A hidden gem of Kona. Slightly off the main Ali'i drive in the Kona Plaza Condominium shops, this place is amazing! Craft coffee drinks and food that is both delicious and well priced. I got a Lucky Charm cold brew (cold brew with mint Irish cream cold foam topped with lucky charm marshmallows) and a breakfast pizza. The sauce on the pizza is sausage gravy and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza could easily feed 2-4 people. My wife got a smoothie and a jet lag wrap. The wrap was huge compared to most other breakfast spots we have eaten at in Kona, so your money definitely goes a lot further here. Lastly the service was friendly and fast, and the casual atmosphere was nice and kid friendly. We played cards while waiting for our food. We are staying above this spot and will definitely be back to try more goodies! Also, a cool touch is instead of order numbers, they have order animals where you can learn about Hawaii's wildlife while you wait! read more

Fairly new. If you want a quick or light bite, this is the place. Lots of tables (inside and out). Friendly staff and great service. I had the turkey melt. The ciabatta was fresh, turkey was soft and tender. It literally melted in my mouth. Very delicious! My husband had the roast beef melt? I can't remember, but he enjoyed it as well. They have lots to try. Next time, we'll try the smoothies. Mahalo! read more

Not ordering online ever again! My order was supposed to be done in 20 min, I went in at 11:40 and waited an hour! I kept asking if my order was ready and was told it was being cut up and boxed. 30 minutes later, it still wasn't ready so I checked in again. Was told the item was undercooked so they had to put it back in for a few more minutes. Waited 15 more minutes and checked in they said it was being boxed. Waited 15 minutes and asked if it was ready. She said not yet. I said I would wait another 5 minutes, waited and nothing. I left the restaurant and 10 minutes later I got a text that it was ready! I went back to pick up my order that was cold! The worse customer service no apologies, no acknowledgement about the wait, no one wanted to take responsibility! UGH! read more

Nice and reasonable little cafe right in Kona town. The food was fresh and tasty. The cafe was very clean and the staff friendly and helpful.

Wow! What a amazing new place. Great customer service. Love the local artwork and ambiance. Great food and reasonably priced, especially for Ali'i drive. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I was quite excited to see a new restaurant open up on Ali'i, all the other food options had begun to tire me. There are very few lunch places downtown, there's nowhere to get a quick bite, unless you go to an ABC store, which really isn't an option. I like the aesthetic of this place, Hungry Honu. It gives off this whimsical oceanic feeling, almost campy in its color choice, but nonetheless charming. Smells nice and new as well, which is a rarity for a place downtown. I ordered the "Here's the Beef", a sandwich melt with plenty of beef. The menu had many options and variations, which is a relief because I'll probably be visiting again in the near future. Service leaves a bit to be desired, that look of indifference is all too common around here. It is what it is. Preparation took about 15 minutes, which is fair. The meal was excellent, a perfect lunch, had no complaints. The Hungry Honu has style and a sense of relevance that is absent in most local establishments. I can see this becoming a fairly popular destination soon, with visitors and locals. Great ambiance (large space too), alright customer service, and great food. Would recommend and I will be coming back. read more

Order online, text when it's ready, just a fantastic easy service. There's plenty of seating inside and very friendly people. Great lunch food and the espresso drinks are so tasty! I definitely recommend read more
