They opened a location at 2565 California street, Mountain View, CA 94040. Kona island coffee is one of the only places around with 100% Kona coffee and it definitely shines through in their product. The coffee and the different flavors are amazing and authentic! But what really makes the difference here is the Hawaiian vibe they are able to capture with Hawaiian music playing and friendly staff. It's the closest to Hawaii you can get in California. read more

The new modern and cool coffee spot in the Bay! Previously Kona was open as a food truck version. I loved the chimney cake with Nutella dipping--so delicious and my first time seeing this in the area! I paired it with an iced latte (around $8), which was a really solid, well-balanced medium roast. A few quick tips for your visit: * Ordering & Service: The staff is very nice, and you have the convenient option to order in person or via the kiosks. * Drinks: You can regulate pretty much everything and customize your drink, you can control even the amount of ice in your beverage, but just a heads up--you will be charged extra if you order a drink with no ice. * Parking: Super easy, there is a parking garage right next door. * Restrooms: There are no restrooms inside the shop; you have to walk around the corner to use them. Overall, a great spot. I'll definitely be coming back for more of that chimney cake! read more

Saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try authentic coffee from Kona immediately. Location is nice, neat, and has plenty of areas to sit and relax. Parking garage is close by. Did self order so not too much interaction with the staff, but they seemed nice and welcoming. Coffee was good, nice spot to get. Got the matcha also which was more on the light, creamy coconut taste with coconut shavings. Though I prefer a much deeper matcha taste. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

First time trying Kona Island coffee today and it was yummy! I got the Iced Hilo Latte and it was bomb! My husband got the Iced Hopia Matcha Latte and that one was good too! Both of the drinks weren't too sweet either. Just enough! I definitely will be going back to try the macadamia latte next time! read more

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. read more

Unless you are ALREADY at Santa Clara Valley Medical - this place isn't easily accessible. I found Kona through Yelp and placed an order online on their direct website because reviews looked so good! Unfortunately, my pick up experience wasn't the best. As a newcomer, I had no idea this was located in the middle of a busy hospital campus. There is no direction on their website where the actual location was - just the hospital address. Due to construction, they had moved so I was stuck driving around looking for the truck (it was tucked away hidden in the main hospital entrance.) On top of that, there is virtually no parking if you are just coming here as a customer and not an actual hospital visitor (understandable) - so you must park in the visitor lot - which is just as packed as the rest of the campus. After 20 min of driving around - I finally found a spot but there was a 10-minute walk to get to Kona's truck. My pickup was assigned to be ready by 1:10 PM - when I got there, it took another 5-10 minutes. All in all - what I had hoped to be a 10-15 min quick stop turned out to be almost AN HOUR. The drinks themselves were good. Kona iced latte and the creme brulee had interesting unique flavors. But after that pickup experience, I would much rather wait for their storefront to open. read more

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 read more

Absolutely amazing. The vibes, the coffee, the CHIMNEY CAKES. Great service will be back for sure

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 ;) read more

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.

Definitely hit the spot. read more

Truly paradise in a cup! I got a Kona Island latte with banana and coconut whipped cream-- amazing. Feels like I'm back on the islands.

LOVE this coffee truck! I used to always see my night shift coworkers posting pics of their morning coffee on IG and wondered where they were getting it... Turns out, Kona Island Coffee Truck is parked right outside our hospital complex! I didn't realize they also stayed out a little past lunchtime until I started working day shifts, and now it's my go-to midday pick me up. I'm not big on sweet drinks, but my coworkers swear by their Captain Cook iced lattes. I always go for their medium roast Kona pour-overs- smooth, rich, and never bitter. Jorge and his team are incredibly hospitable, friendly, and do a great job keeping service fast and efficient- especially when there's a long line of nurses and docs waiting during peak hours! The best part- you can order ahead to skip the line! Their hours and location can vary on some days + weekends- so be sure to check their Instagram stories for where they'll be heading! read more

Love the concept but nothing too special. If I'm in the area would give it another try. Felt like it was missing that Kona coffee flavor but it could be overpowered by the flavors and sweeteners. I'd prefer less of the artificial flavors and a more natural taste (house made vanilla, coconut or macadamia milk, etc) to let the Kona stand out. The spot itself was easy to access parked on a street with lots of street parking. Not much in terms of ambience given it's a food truck. I ordered from the counter but there's also a kiosk. read more

Cheehooo! Little taste of the islands with their Kona blends. I door dashed my order since this was a bit far from where I live and it still tasted good. I ordered their Iced Island Latte w/ coconut whipped cream and their Hawaiian bread. - iced island latte 8.5/10: surprisingly it's not super sweet at all. It balances out with the nutty macnut flavor and subtle coconut taste. On DoorDash, it gave me the option of choosing coconut whipped cream but it actually tastes like macadamia nuts - Hawaiian bread 7.5/10: Slightly sweet, not the moistest bread but it was still good. I could definitely tastes the coconut, passionfruit, and mango that's "infused" in it but again, very subtle read more

So I've actually had coffee from them a few times to give it an honest go. First time we had it was early in the month. I had an Iced Kona Latte, my wife had the Crème brûlée and we shared a banana bread slice we actually waited awhile to get. My Iced latte was ok, it had a subtle macadamia hit to it. The crème brûlée was kind of sweet but had a nutty background to it. The banana bread slice we had was actually very dry so we passed on eating it after I had a bite. Second go round she ordered a fancy latte and I had a sip. Again, it was ok. Just didn't do it for me. I want to like it, it's in front of the hospital where they enter and exit so it's convenient when I pick her up. read more

I swear I did one of these reviews before, but maybe it was too long ago since as I checked in this review, Buttin popped up for me. Anyways, I've been going to this mobile coffee shop for quite some time I want to say at least two years maybe three and every time I've always received amazing customer service, delicious tasty Kona coffee flavors and I have a very sensitive stomach so I love Hawaiian coffee! Beautiful Presentations of crêpes and seasonal islander drinks!! I also love their hot teas and iced Matcha strawberry lattes! I actually like to keep mine in the fridge for a night and let the freeze dried strawberries moisten up and then I can eat them the next day, As I enjoy my drink! Lol They're Maui crêpe is delicious with the fresh warm crème brûlée topping. OMG it's like a savory sweet dessert and perfect!! I will continuously come here!! read more

I was missing Hawaii and their delicious coffee veryy much, so it was exciting to see that they sold Kona coffee not too far away! We came the day before and just missed them, but made the trip the next day to try their Kona Island Latte with macadamia and coconut. When we got there, we ordered using the self-service kiosk, but it took about 10-15 minutes to receive 2 drinks. The person making the drinks was very nice though and I can confirm, this latte was delicious and comforting!! If i could change it, i would just make it a bit creamier. Also, the lady working there was conversing with customers outside and it sounded like she was supporting the local Girl Scouts. Not only that, but the guy making the coffee even remembered one of the customer's orders and made adjustments free of charge. It always warms my heart to see business owners be involved in their community and make an effort to create relationships with their customers. 4 stars because the location is a bit inconvenient. Looking at the website they seem to move around a lot, so if you want to try this you're going to have to do some research to figure out where they are. Total: ~$14 Tip: I saw a lot of people ordering online. If you're looking to just grab and go, definitely order online! read more

Unfortunately, I'm one of the few who seems to not have had the full Kona-experience. I ordered the Kona Island Latte (as-is) and was disappointed with the overall flavor. The shop mentions that the latte contains macadamia with a hint of coconut. However, I ended up receiving an iced latte which tasted of coconut and a whip cream and it tasted awful. Kona coffee is always talked about in Hawaii and the reviews made me think that the drinks were similar in taste. Perhaps I didn't order the right drink? I'm not sure. But I was not impressed. read more

Kona Island Coffee has pretty limited hours/days that they are open. I recommend checking their website or social media to ensure you come when it's open! I ordered online an Iced Creme Brulee latte, with less ice and sweetness. I saw a few reviews say that the drinks come out a bit sweeter than your usual coffee so I thought less sweetness was the way to go for me! I thought the coffee was okay ... the milk ratio was way more than coffee. I was also hoping that there was more creme brulee on top since that was the main difference between a regular latte and creme brulee, but it was a very thin layer. I didn't really taste the creme brulee at all. The coffee itself was good, but not a drink I would drive out of my way for. Staff were attentive and nice though! read more

After reading so many positive reviews on their coffee, I was hoping it would taste like the Kona coffee in Hawaii. I would recommend checking out the website to see where the truck is. The truck was located in front of the hospital the day I went. They have a self- ordering machine at the truck or you can order on their website. There's no parking, but you chance it parking in front of the truck. [Drink 3/5]: I got the matcha latte with dried strawberries, but I thought it was okay. I felt like there was a lot of milk and not much matcha. The drink was $7.50, and I didn't think the drink taste anything special for the price point. [Service 4/5]: The staff was friendly, but I feel like it would have been better if the system captured the names for the orders or gave a receipt with the #. There were a couple of people ahead me, and we were confused if it was my drink or their drink. [Ambiance 5/5]: The truck was really cute and new. Not sure if I'd make the effort to drive out of my way to find the truck again, but if I happen to pass by, I would be willing to give the other drinks a try. read more
