Lovely lunch special. Cutest cafe right before the bridge to Hypoluxo. Lots of lunch options and as typical here, expect good coleslaw. Ate Grouper Rueben Sandwich $16 The grilled grouper was so good and the thick rye was amazing. Healthy me got the cheese in the side and fruit salad. Yum read more

What a fantastic lunch stop here at Kona Bay Cafe on a sunny afternoon! Waterside dining is one of our favorite things to do. We sat outside across from the Lantana Bicentennial Park and enjoyed people watching while eating our lunch. My Luau Salad was a generous portion of iceberg lettuce, pineapple, nuts, and strawberries with an added protein scoop of tuna. DELICIOUS! GREAT PLACE! read more

I like playing tourist now and then, so I found this casual eatery in Lantana near the intracoastal. It was pleasant weather, so we sat at a table on their outside patio facing Ocean Avenue with a view of the bridge, and the water, and a park. There's a pay lot right next to the restaurant. It's $2 an hour plus a convenience fee of 40 cents through Park Mobile. He wanted lunch and I decided on breakfast -- which they serve "all day" (they close at 2 pm). He got a gorgeous looking salad (the luau salad) and chose to add on a scoop of tuna salad. The large bowl had a bit of everything in it from feta to fresh fruit. He said it was very good. I had their crab benny. I got my eggs well done and the Hollandaise on the side. The crab cake was more like a corn cake with bits of crab. But the English muffins were nicely toasted and my eggs were cooked "hard" as requested. The hash brown potatoes were very good. We had very good service. And we did t have to wait very long for our food to arrive. It was relaxing to sit outside. One of the gals seated nearby told me that her burger was excellent. Maybe I'd get that next time if I'm in the mood for lunch. read more

Loved my first visit. A very hearty steak and eggs with good coffee. The team made this non-regular feel welcomed. The staff have been there for years, a great barometer for the service. Go early!!! read more

Food was not as good as it usually is Told them I have serious mushroom allergy- my food came w mushrooms. Ordered to go for my mom- Added side of coleslaw- see pix. Called manager and he was rude and hung up on me. Staff minus manager always friendly. Maybe cater less to snowbirds and more to your year round customers. Been coming here for 10 years. Not anymore This place used to be great- def NOT anymore read more

Had a chance to experience this venue for breakfast with a friend of mine. The service was good as well as the food. Not much space, so get there early for seating. It's right on the water, so nice vibes. Overall, a good experience; popular among the locals read more

Great food, very good prices, quick and friendly service. It's my go to spot for breakfast on a nice day. They even have a steel drum player out front on the weekends. Not to mention the massive mimosas read more

Always my standby. We love the café. Food is always fresh and excellent. The service is wonderful and a choice of food is always plenty. The prices are also terrific and there's always ample parking. read more

Service was very friendly. Was able to eat on the outdoor patio. Breakfast food served very quickly.

The "avocado toast" was barely a smear of Costco avocado spread on an oversized slice of bread--hardly deserving of the name. Very disappointing. On the bright side, the drinks were large, and the French toast was solid. read more

Just finished having breakfast this morning There was a new waitress that I never saw before who was absolutely terrible. No silverware no milk for coffee and what an attitude. Thought I did something wrong and she wanted to yell at me. Yes. I will go back but never with this rude obnoxious waitress I will leave And. One more thing she got the order wrong. read more

The service was unsatisfactory. It felt like discrimination, caucasians received immediate attention and me being African American, had to call someone over to receive service. Waited 20 minutes for someone to take my order and another 10 min to get my drink. People who came in AFTER were serviced before me, all being Caucasian. Be cautious of this racist staff and environment. Didn't even want to eat anymore I paid for my drink and left. read more

A great place for breakfast or lunch! Love the wait staff. Very casual. Food is absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced compared to other spots in the area. You must go here!!! read more

Been going there for 10 years. Spectacular service, great food choices and excellent mimosas!!!

Came for breakfast on a Sunday morning and sat outside. Our server was lovely, very pleased with her. I ordered the nova platter which was yummy. I also ordered a side of hash browns. Everything came out relatively fast and was good! read more

Kona Bay Cafe - Nova platter - Cafes Near Me - Lantana, Florida

Usually a pleasure to go there and most of their food is great as well as the staff. Today changed that. The service was so bad I didn't leave a tip which I never have done. Totally screwed up my order forgetting one dish l ordered. The food was inedible. The most inattentive waitress I have experienced in a long time. I will try again as usually all has been super. read more

This was my first time ever dining here. I've had their food before, but it was delivered. It was recommended by some friends and did not disappoint. Having it served fresh was even better. Understandably, there was a bit of a wait on the weekend. But despite this place being super busy, the staff was fast and friendly. Not only was our server attentive, but the other servers would tend to the tables if they noticed something as well (low drink glass, dirty plates, etc). The best part was getting the yummy food. Their crab cake benny was so fresh tasting and flavorful. Every bite was literally perfect, especially with a side of their home fries. I tasted the pumpkin pancakes that took up an entire plate by themselves. They were so fluffy and good - just the right amount of spice. Someone else at the table ordered French toast and they literally brought a plateful! What's brunch without mimosas? You can literally share them because they are GIANT too! read more

I was delighted by the food. I need to put on a few pounds so I chose the most fattening thing I could on the menu. Lobster and brie cream cheese filled omelette. To order takeout one sits at the bar and I was given a menu. I was told that Oscar would take care of my order. I said interesting. My Indian ringneck is named Oscar. Of course, when Oscar delivered my food, I had to show him a picture of Oscar. It was early in the afternoon and the restaurant was quite busy, especially a lot of diners sitting outside in these retro chairs, which were my favorite color turquoise. I will definitely dine there again as the food was delicious and the portions were large. I have half of that meal to finish today. It is very convenient and right down the way from Trader Joe's, where I shop quite often. The staff was friendly and courteous, always a pleasure. There are a multitude of other entrées that I would love to try on their menu. read more

Nice local spot for breakfast and lunch. Tasty flavored French Toast, large omelets, yummy ice coffee. Come to relax, sit inside or out, chat with friends your food will come. Waitresses are busy and efficient. read more

They say the mark of a good restaurant is the quality of its coleslaw, and the coleslaw here at the Kona Bay café is outstanding! The atmosphere is your typical, glorious coastal southeastern, Florida standard, which is always outstanding! I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger, which I promptly devoured quickly, and Yummioso it was! We were a party of four seated promptly, food delivery was slightly on the slow side, but they're jammed up busy today, and it's high season, so that is to be expected. It was worth the wait, as all four of us throughly enjoyed our meals, the classic BLT, Big Kahuna, and veggie omelette. You will find no better than here, as Kona Bay Cafe rocks it gloriously, and is patronized by its local folks and visitors from all the world. Can't wait to return here again soon! read more

My go to spot when I'm in South Florida. The food, service, drinks and atmosphere are all 5 star worthy; I should also mention they're on the water and have outside dining. It's hard to find a restaurant that holds up to all these accolades every time you go, but this one does! I hope you get to check them out and enjoy as much as we do. read more

While this cafe does sit on the intracoastal, there's no water view while dining (at least from where we sat on the sidewalk). What I liked most was the capable service. These women floated around -seemingly effortlessly- and took care of the full house. We had the tropical fruit platter with yogurt and it was very satisfying and not overpriced. Another had the granola and yogurt parfait and raved about it. We watched the people at the next table with omelets and pancakes which were generously portioned and looked delicious. I wished the tables with the little garbage cans on top were cleaner but it wasn't a significant drawback. I won't make an effort to return but it was a pleasant stop for a small bite. read more

Food good coffee good.. Restauran dirty. Fake milk on table.had to ask for milk. Service good

Hit this busy & buzzen joint a Lil late Saturday morning at about 12:00 noon for a late breakfast ... Still packed with breakfast diners ... your choice outside covered patio or the comfort of inside seating ... Our server was very friendly & polite ... All three of us went with their chicken fried steak with gravy & two frIed eggs over easy with home fries & rye toast ... very good !! Then we split a short stack of their apple pancakes .. the batter for the pancake is delicious nice & fluffy ... just need to tell them to cook the pancakes a lil longer..... Over all a great breakfast spot and right off the water ... Highly recommend & would definitely return again .... Thanks Greg D & family read more

Just flew in from Pennsylvania to Fort Lauderdale, and my wife's friends daughter worked here so she wanted to try it. Where do I start..... The food. Well the menu was pretty nice, quite a variety of options. All sounded really good! My wife ordered the fish tacos!!!! Gave three tacos-definitely tasty. Gave really nice portions of mahi-mahi with an incredible pineapple-mango salsa. I had the Lava Berger with jalapeño infused bacon..... I'm not one to order hot and spicy but I thought I would throw myself a curveball. What a good choice I made! Next the service! Checked in and we decided to eat outside.... Perfect especially coming from Pennsylvania, so nice out and the service was great, everyone was so friendly and my coffee cup was never empty!!!!! Over all I give it a 10 on everything. Will eat there again when in the area. Good COFFEE! read more

To start of our girls weekends, we were told this was the place. By the time we left, our bellies were full, spirits were high, and we were ready to take on the world. Mimosas were our beverages of choice. Holy moly! These glasses were bigger than my face. This was just the beginning to the smiling faces. I have a sweet tooth, so my choice for brunch was their Coconut Macadamia French Toast. The coconut and macadamia gave it a great texture and the French toast was perfect; not hard or chewy, and was not soft or gooey in the middle. This all made me happy dance during my meal. read more

My wife and I wanted local breakfast joint and this place fit the bill. Had a laid back and local beach vibe to it. Service was on point and very accommodating to my wife's allergies. I got two eggs served over hash browns...eggs ran all over the hash browns like a tv commercial. My wife got the crab cake eggs Benedict... Had to stop her from licking the plate. Her Mimosa was very large and a steal at $8. We will be back : ) read more

We came to this place on a whim when trying to find a brunch spot . The parking lot is not free - so make sure you pay so you don't get a ticket ! The restaurant is by the water - which is super beautiful . The outdoor patio is on the side with the road, which makes it a bit less appealing hearing all the cars go by. The menu had plenty of food options both for breakfast and lunch . All the food we got was delicious. No complaints and super reasonably priced , staff was friendly. read more

Kona Bay Café is as laid back as it gets. Things move slow, so park your "Let's go, let's go" at the front door. The smallish foodie gig has a decent patio under cover. Traffic is ebb and flow due to the proximity of both intracoastal and Atlantic Ocean. I'll swear by their grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Tourist take fishing gambits next door so Kona is perfectly positioned for tummy fillups. Good stop on the way to deep tanning. read more

We had our annual fishing trip this year and 21 people raid d this place on a day when the wind was blowing and the boat probably should have even gone out. We packed the outdoor seating area and the waitresses went to work. They handled this rambunctious group of mainly northeastern visitors like a fluid team. The food came out at a decent pace and each order not only accurately deliver the plates were culinarily appealing. Now I just had a simple egg and sausage but who knew that sausage was house made and FANTASTIC! I enjoyed it and so did all the other guys in my group. What a great little place. read more

Awesome Sunday Brunch Come early because you will see the line coming out the door before you can spot a parking spot. (I parked in the small park across the street.) Space is kinda small but they can accommodate large parties. Our first trip here we bring over 10 people and 2 kids with picky tastes. Grab the mimosas served in huge wine glasses or a cup of coffee to sip while eyeing the menu. But best to actually check the menu online while you're waiting in line. The wait is crazy long - if you don't have patience please don't come. While drinks came out quickly the food flowed out rather slowly. It sucks to stalk the kitchen door and pray every plate moving towards you is yours. But when you FINALLY receive your plate if it looks and tastes as good as the crab cake Benedict (Coconut Macadamia French Toast, Spinach and Feta Omelet, or the Sunshine Eggs) then it will be worth the wait. read more

I wanted to update because we came back again for a second time. The staff here have such a sunny attitude and dining here is a great experience. The food is fresh and good and I really enjoyed all my food. (And I ate alot.) I had the Coconut French Toast. Now normally I am not a French Toast person. (I am more of a Belgian waffle girl). But I decided to go outside my comfort zone. It was so good! This place has standard brunch items but also a few really unique dishes. And it does have sort of a Hawaiian feel as befitting its name. Loved the sunny attitudes of the staff. Plus it is wonderful to dine outside. This place is a find! If you do not want to do the brunch thing they also offer wraps and sandwiches. It isn't only breakfast items although the two times I went, I did get breakfast. Eating outside is great and the atmosphere is so.. for lack of a better term..Florida. It is a good place. Now. You should know if you do the brunch thing on a weekend there may indeed be a wait. The first time we came here we were seated right away. The second time there was a short wait. Honestly they get PACKED on Sundays. So it is a good place to go but it gets crowded some days, Sundays especially. No matter really as you can just enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. They have a great menu and dining here was an absolute pleasure. read more
