THE SUPREME COFFEESHOP IN ALL THE LAND!!! The Yippee-Chai-Yay (aka dirty chai) flows through Sean's veins when he's home.
Favorite beach closest to town. It's also where we're having our Farewell Beach Day.
Best açaí bowls! Eduardo gets the Islander and Sean gets the Puna with peanut butter blended in.
Best beach for space and sand. Slight downside is that the running water is under repair.
Best poke selection in town! (It's in the back corner of the store.)
Best beach for little ones.
If it doesn't work out with Eduardo, Sean would rebound with the Haupia Latte.
Brunch is on point, sits on the water, AND they take reservations!
Their breakfast sandwich always hits the spot.
The kalua pork bowl is Eduardo's go-to.
"Hayashi's" is a Kona staple. Quality sushi at a mind-blowing value. It's an art to get an order in. Sometimes, they take walk-in orders in the late afternoon. Best advice: Get 4 others calling in right when they open, and if you're lucky to get through, you can pick it up in time for lunch. The Ninja Star roll is the all-star: Spicy ahi, shrimp tempura, and avocado.
Local food so bomb, it got Guy Fieri's attention. The Braised Beef Shortrib and Garlic Furikake Chicken are the stuff of dreams.
Best Local-Japanese restaurant on this side of the Island!
One of Sean and Eduardo's favorite burger places of all-time!
Overall, fantastic menu with quality ingredients.
Can't find a better happy hour Mai Tai anywhere else.
A beachside restaurant with the best vibe.
A new addition to Kona's fantastic lineup of cafés.
Shave ice syrups with natural fruit juice > syrups from concentrate
Brunch with an unparalleled view.
