    I usually don't like to go to a new shop on the first day due to crowds and new staff learning the trade. But I went because I really like the coffee. There's plenty to parking. The place is clean. Not really fond of the metal seats. It's not the most comfortable if you're sitting for a while. I probably won't be going as often as this place is a lot farther from home. The truck was closer

    I dropped by Kona Island Coffee during their grand opening weekend around 11am and decided to try the iced Kona Island Latte with added coconut cream. The total came out to a little over $10, which is on the pricier side for a coffee drink. For the latte itself, I'd give it about a 7/10. It was smooth and decent quality, but I personally wish it had a bit more sweetness and stronger flavor, especially with the coconut cream added. What really stood out to me was the atmosphere of the shop. The interior was very nice, bright, and well-lit with a relaxing Hawaii-inspired vibe that made the place feel welcoming and comfortable. Space isn't that big so the tables inside got taken up quickly, however there are plenty tables outside and across the street to choose from. They also had two self-serve kiosks available, which helped make ordering convenient. The staff were all friendly, patient, and helpful with customer questions, especially considering it was their grand opening and likely very busy. Overall, a solid experience and a nice addition to the area. I'd come back again to try some of their other drinks.

    Grand opening day. It was busy when we arrived around 9 am. Line move pretty steady. You can order via the 2 touch screen or at cashier. Itvis faster to order via touch screen kiosk. It serves Kona coffee , cold and hot. There are are many interesting coffee choices and I never have many of them. They also serve pour over and looks like sell coffee beans. The coffee is on the light side and that sweet which is good. The chimney cake is made to order so it is served hot. The chimney cake is yummy. It is like layer. I like the pistachio one. Overall it was good experience and they did good job on grand opening.

    (iced) Kona Island Latte

    Happy grand opening day to Kona Island! I was really excited about having Hawaiian coffee in the bay area as I am personally not aware of anything like it here. You can order in person or at the two self service iPads in the corner on your left when you enter. We got a Kona island latte which is Kona coffee with coconut macadamia flavor and a honalo macchiato which was a hazelnut flavored coffee. Both were very strong and delicious which is what I like! I also saw these interesting chimney cakes (I don't know if that's the exact name of what it's called?) If I lived closer I'd go all the time.

    Icee Iced Hilo Latte (UBE Coconut) with Ube whipped cream
    Marie M.

    Excellent customer service. The woman behind the register was so friendly and helpful. I felt like there were many options that sounded good. I ended up getting the iced Hilo latte, which is a coconut Ube latte. I would say it was not sweet at all, which is good, but for some they may not like the taste. There was minimal coconut flavor. The Ube whipped cream was also flavorless. I know Ube is a very mild taste but still. The drink was around eight or nine dollars. I feel like it's pretty pricey so I will not return again.

    Came the day after their grand opening, pretty popular since it's new but wait was not too bad. Cute little table stations and outside seating. Nice quiet area. Coffee had good flavors but a little small and pricier side. About $8 per cup, maybe 7-8oz? Smaller than average. Has options for oat milk, coconut milk, heavy cream, etc.

    Went for their grand opening and was instantly transported to being back in Hawaii! There was traditional music and dancing that you could enjoy while waiting for your coffee. Pretty easy and quick to order as you could order on one of two available kiosks or directly at the counter. Large menu of coffee with a few baked treats to also try out. I got the captain cook and americano. It reminded me exactly of coffee back in Hawaii! Giving it 4 stars only as I did find it a touch expensive compared to other coffee shops in the area.

    The staff was very helpful & informative as it was my first time. They just soft opened their store location at 2565 California St. Ste 84. Mountain View, CA last Friday. Grand opening is May 16, 2026. My drink was delicious. I love the mix of ube & coconut. I ordered it cold & it definitely was awesome. The drink was about $10 but definitely was a good treat.

    We went here the second day that they were open. It was pretty popular place since people wanted to check this place out. My husband got the raspberry mocha. He thought it was okay. I checked out the menu but was surprised at how much drinks and baked goods cost and I decided to pass. The store looks very nice and had decor that takes you back to the islands. It is not tacky but looks very tasteful. The service was very friendly and efficient. Overall I would not come here often since the prices are expensive.

    Captain cook -lite ice -less sweet -the cinnamon is not too strong -it's supposed to have honey and vanilla in it as well but I don't quite taste the honey. It might have something to do with adjusting it to less sweet, but it's still a shame. Vanilla however, can be detected Kona island coffee -lite ice -"wow" -the macadamia nut flavor really shines through and is like no other -it literally tastes like you bit into a macadamia nut at the same time -it has a slight hint of coconut but you'd have to search for the flavor to find it Over all pretty good and brings us back to the island. Iykyk.

    I stopped by Kona Island Coffee during their soft launch on May 8th in Mountain View and I was really impressed. I've had Kona coffee in Hawaii before and have always been surprised there wasn't a dedicated Hawaiian Kona coffee shop anywhere in the whole Bay Area until now. Kona Island Coffee is the first one and they got it right. Parking was easy in the garage right at San Antonio Village Center. The shop has a nice clean look with some island touches. The female owner was there herself helping take orders and make the drinks -- she was very friendly and easy to talk to. I ordered the Kona decaf pour-over and the Kona Peaberry pour-over. I love coconut cream so much that I got two sides of it for the decaf. I decided to give it a full Hawaiian vibe by basically replacing the milk with coconut cream. Both pour-overs were smooth with good chocolate notes and not rancid at all. The Crème Brûlée Kona Latte was a nice sweet treat if you like more dessert-y taste. I also got the dark chocolate-covered peaberries. Those roasted beans have a really nice crunch, and munching on just a couple of them gives you enough caffeine punch to keep you awake and focused. I spoke with the female owner about the Haupia Latte, and she told me the haupia is something she actually makes at home -- not coconut syrup like other shops might use. That sounds so authentic, so the Haupia Latte is definitely the next thing I want to try. Kona coffee is special because it's grown on the volcanic slopes of the Big Island. The soil there is rich in minerals like phosphorus, which gives the beans that unique smooth, low-acidity flavor you just don't get from the regular blends other coffee shops use from outside the country. The peaberry is even more special -- it's a rarer, rounder bean that gives a more concentrated taste. Kona Island Coffee uses 100% real Hawaiian Kona and it shows. If you're a coffee lover, definitely check it out. I'll be back soon

    Maui crepe, crème brûlée latte (iced), kamoa mocha (hot)
    Melody T.

    Cute food truck! Seemed like they were friendly with regulars/previous customers but we just ordered via the self service kiosk because we had our dogs with us. Crème brûlée latte (iced) - 9/10 My partner got this drink and he typically doesn't like coffee too much because it's bitter but he really liked this one! Nice and sweet for him. Though he did comment that after eating the crepe, the latte was less sweet. Kamoa Mocha (hot) - 8/10 It was light and sweet! It didn't feel heavy in my mouth or stomach and not too bitter. I love a good mocha!! It also wasn't burning hot so I could drink it pretty quickly. Maui (Crème brûlée) crepe - 7/10 We got it without pistachio nuts (sadly) but it was a nice and simple sweet crepe. The coconut whipped crème was a nice addition. I think the nuts would've added a bit more crunchy texture but can't know for sure. My dogs really wanted a piece of it LOL Overall, good coffee and a sweet spot ;)

    I had an appointment at VMC and found a crepe food truck nearby. It had been a long time since I last had a crepe, so I got a strawberry & banana with Nutella and a cappuccino. Service was quick and friendly, which made the experience even better, especially when you're in between appointments. Everything was delicious--the taste was amazing! Definitely hit the spot.

    Is the business hour correct? Somettiems i stopped by and the truck wasnt there. Are you guys still in the same spot on Fremont Ave?

    Hello Nhat, our operating hours are correct, but for the most up-to-date information on our whereabouts throughout the week, we recommend visiting our website. Hope this helps! :)

    Can they make lattes decaf?

    Hello Lauren, we can make any coffee beverage with decaf espresso, we also have decaf pour over as well. Hope this helps :)

    Where should I park if I'm not a patient or employee at the hospital?

    Hi Marissa, we’re off of clove Dr and Turner Dr - close to building T5 (unfortunately, Google doesn’t have a pinpoint on building T5) there are parking spots across from where we’re located.

    I usually get a double latte at Starbucks. Low milk, iced. What low cal would you suggest I get from Kona and what's the price. I'd like to try it?

    Hi Joy, we’ve never been to San Leandro on Floresta Blvd. Our main and only location is at 105 E Fremont Ave, Sunnyvale.… Read more

I had a really nice chat with one of the owners there and they all seem like really lovely people--kind hearted with little kids around so hopefully they stay around for some time! They were still redoing the front of house so not sure when they will open fully but looking forward to trying more Azerbaijan food. Since I've never had Azerbaijan food before, I asked for a recommendation and he said all of the food is good but did say that the chicken shawarma was big and I was feeling a bit hungry so went with that. It came with fries and some peppers, which reminded me of banana peppers. Not spicy with a briney taste to it, great accompaniment. He also tossed in this yogurt drink (I didn't get the name) that was tasty. Overall, good food and will be back to try their lamb kebabs and the burger as well and interested to see what their pizzas will be like as well. Love seeing small family businesses like this and hope they do well!

Btw, it's in a small parking lot next to a restaurant, and you should have parking spots at the back. There always seems to be a decent crowd occupying the tables near the food truck.
