Big Island
Menehune Coffee Company
Perfect for those staying at the King Kamehameha hotel or strolling Ali'i Drive, as it's one of the same few spots that opens its doors at 5:30 am. The 100% Kona pour-over and specialty lattes like the Honu are genuinely good, and the staff's 'Aloha spirit' is a kind welcome to the start of the day. If you're looking for a high-consistency food menu or a slow, quiet morning, this isn't it—the pace is fast and the kitchen can be a bit hit-or-miss. Go for the early bird coffee and the proximity to the seawall.
