Super expensive! A small/tall coffee is about $10 with tax/tip. Coffee is good, however not worth the outrageous price. They have other food/drink items as well that are all overpriced. The service was super s l o w..., it was only my one order and 3 employees and it took 16 min for my coffee order. Note: when ordering--there are options for "room for cream" and for them to add a splash of cream, however, they only have the crappy 1/2 n 1/2, single serve creamers in the plastic peel off containers. One and done!

(iced) Kona Island Latte

Before getting into SJ, both my relative and a close friend recommended Kona Island Coffee. The coffee here is so delicious!! Tastes so smooth and has just the perfect amount of sweetness and caffeine. Every time I stopped by (multiple times over the past couple weeks of me visiting the Bay), the waits to order and for the drink to be ready were very reasonable. Plenty of tables inside and outside too. My go-to here was the iced kona island latte! The macadamia flavor was delicious and the latte itself had a good amount of caffeine. I have nothing but good things to say about this cafe.

Iced matcha haupia & kilauea mocha

What happened to this place?? It used to be so good when they were a truck and now they have a store front my matcha haupia was completely milk with no flavor of haupia. (See pic attached from now to how it was bright green then). For $8, the quality is below average now. I also ordered a ube banana bread and it was dry with a slight ube flavor and no banana flavor. So disappointed. Unfortunately, no longer will be back.

Kamoa Mocha, tasty and sweet

Kona Island Coffee is a nice spot for coffee and freshly made chimney cakes. There are two kiosks near the entrance, making it easy to place your order. The chimney cakes come in a good variety of flavors, and they're made fresh, so expect a bit of a wait. I got the Kamoa Mocha, which is made with Kona espresso, raspberry, milk, and coconut whipped cream. The coffee was tasty, although a tad on the sweet side. You can taste a very subtle hint of berry from the raspberry, which adds a nice flavor without overpowering the mocha. The chimney cake was fresh, piping hot, and delicious. Definitely a fun treat to pair with your coffee! Looking forward to visiting again and trying more of their drinks and chimney cake flavors.

Got the hot and iced Kona Island lattes and really loved the macadamia flavors, really reminded me of Hawaii! Only downside is that it is pretty expensive, came out to like $8 a coffee, if not more. Inside has some seating but is pretty dark, but there's some outdoor seating as well which is nice especially in the summer.

Finally went to Kona Island in Mt. View on a Sunday! Parking is always hard in the plaza but managed to find one in the parking garage. Nice place. There's 2 screens available to order and a cashier. No cash. They have outdoor seating outside, with table signs specifically for Kona customers. We ordered 3 iced drinks, traditional chimney and 2 bottled drinks for later. There was a bit of a wait. I was told the chimney will take about 10-15 minutes. My Nutella latte was good. The sweetness was not overloaded. The chimney tasted like a sweet pretzel. It was cool to see the smoke coming out, yes, like a chimney! Lol I believe there's options to have ice cream inside. Overall, great experience!

The drinks are strong and the service is extremely fast. You can order on a kiosk and they make it right away. Lobby is great to study or do work! Parking is a bit easy with a parking garage nearby. In an extremely saturated coffee spot in the Bay Area. This was okay!

Cappuccino, Creme Brulee Latte
Emmeline N.

Overall: 4.5/5 Parked in their public garage. Inside is very spacious with plenty of seating and some outdoors. Overall, service was good and friendly, I ordered on the kiosk but you can also order at the front with a person. I was surprised to find their coffee to be creamier than other places, which also tastes good. However, drinks are definitely on the pricier side. Drinks: - Iced Cappuccino w/ Caramel: light, refreshing, satisfying, classic - Iced Creme Brulee Latte: creamy, thick, perfect sweet

We stopped by this new Hawaiian coffee shop and found a couple of things that make it stand out from the crowd. First, they use 100% Kona coffee, which is surprisingly hard to find. The owner is also from Hungary and serves traditional chimney cake. Each one is baked to order, so you get it fresh from the oven. Ours was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and paired wonderfully with the ube cream. It's an absolute must-try. I also appreciated the little details. When we ordered their siphon coffee, they asked whether we'd like it served in a paper cup or a ceramic mug. We chose ceramic, and I really think coffee tastes better that way. It's a small touch, but it shows they care about the experience.

Exterior

I've known about Kona Island Coffee from when they had their coffee truck in Sunnyvale. So I was excited to hear they finally opened a brick-and-mortar cafe. The interior is spacious & nicely-decorated, though I wonder if it could be better optimized. Such as: the amount of seating, and where the napkins & utensils are located. The service is good; the staff are friendly & the wait times are reasonable even when crowded. The centerpiece of Kona Island Coffee... is naturally the Kona coffee. I'm not the most attuned to the subtleties, but I can say it tastes pretty good. I've tried a few of their lattes & enjoyed most. The Kamoa Mocha, with raspberry & coconut, is quite unique. (I wish they brought back the salted caramel Kīlauea Mocha though.) The Hilo Latte has some good ube & taro flavor. However, the Kona Island Latte was underwhelming & not really worthwhile, since the macadamia & coconut were too subtle. I tried some food as well. The ube-banana bread is decent but not spectacular. But, the Nutella Chimney Cake was 100% worth it. It takes some time to make, but it comes out hot & fresh. Kona Island Coffee has some opportunities for improvement, but they have a good foundation. I'll likely return every so often since their menu is distinct from most other cafes.

Loved the decor of the place - simple, modern, yet inviting. There's plenty of parking too. You can order from the kiosk or at the counter. Service was quick. I was hoping to order crepes as I'd seen on Yelp; but, those were unavailable. The food readily available were the chimney cones, ube banana bread and Hawaiian bread. Needless to say, I was disappointed and unfortunately the drinks were not as expected. Very light in flavor. We ordered the hot Kona Island and hot Hilo latte. Unsure if we'll be back to give it another shot.

A nice addition to the area! The lattes, chimney cone, and service... all pretty good. The lattes were not overly sweet, which is my preference. Everything was served hot as soon as finished. (The Chimney Cone requires a short wait.) There is some seating both inside and out. Parking may be a challenge during peak hours, but there is a garage nearby, if need be. Come check them out!

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.

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.…

A healthy alternative for brunch! Then menu has many offerings to suit most every palette. I appreciate how most of the ingredients are listed in each entree. It would be even better to have the ingredients of the batter listed somewhere, though. I pre-ordered ordered the Avocado, and I received a message that my order would be ready in about 20 minutes. I arrived six minutes early, but my order was ready at that time. The ingredients were indeed fresh. I could smell the veggies - a good sign of freshness. The crepe was big, cut up and placed in the container in two layers. The crepe batter was fluffy and not dried-out, and the lemon tahini sauce provided a nice touch of lemony flavor that was not overpowering. To say that the flavor was bland is not really accurate, as the flavor was organic - I could taste each vegetable without the saltiness. For some people this may be bland. But for those of us who need to watch our salt intake, it was good. I am happy that this establishment caters to those with dietary restrictions. Nowadays this seems to be more and more of an important consideration when choosing where to eat. In that respect, Crepe Bistro does not disappoint.

I ordered a crepe that was nearly burnt and had a strong overcooked flavor, though my husband's breakfast was good. Additionally, the service we received on Wednesday morning, September 15, fell short of expectations. Despite there being only three other customers, the cashier did not greet us and left us waiting at the register for about five minutes to attend to other tasks. Our food was also brought out at different times, and our water was never refilled. She was not friendly or welcoming. Since KTVU recommended this restaurant, I hope this was just an isolated incident and an off day for the staff. We would be open to giving it another try in the future. I wanted to share this feedback so hopefully they'll read this and addressed the disappointing experience. Sometimes the food isn't the only thing to be considered, it's important but in my opinion service is everything.

With plenty of lot parking and an outdoor patio, Lily's offers a variety of sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches, salads, drinks, and even some Vietnamese snack comforts. Lily herself is friendly and has regulars who appreciate her attentiveness. Since I'm a savory gal, I ordered the DIY crepe with salmon, goat cheese, mushroom, sun dried tomato, jalapeño and pesto. Custom crepes start at $17.25 Smoked salmon was extra $2 and goat cheese was extra 75 cents. The crepe was thin but not soggy, stuffed with a lot of flavors, and satisfying. Although the Vietnamese bbq pork sandwich was a little lacking in quantity of meat, I appreciated that it wasn't overloaded with carrots the way A LOT of other places try to scam you. The shrimp spring rolls were also light and I found the peanut sauce a little too chunky and sweet for my preference. Vietnamese coffee $7 was a bit steep. I left with a couple of boba drinks to go since it was such a hot day. Taro match latte $7.5 Thai Chai Ice Tea $6.75 with grass jelly extra 75 cents, boba another 75 cents Overall, I enjoyed dining at Lily's casual outdoor cafe.
