Loved the Hawaiian vibe of this locale-the sounds, the decorations, the interior, and even the surfboard :) The Kona shops all seem to be owned by the same group, as the vibe and decorations are the same. This location has mature plants and has been around for a while. The chicken sandwich was really good. Not dry, slightly tangy with their homemade sauce and chopped chicken on a ciabatta-like roll. The drinks were okay. I love coffee, and may need to get used to the Kona flat white & cortados which are the ones I’ve had the last few times. The matcha doesn’t work for me here but again, this shop should be known for their coffee and beans which they roast in-house. The seating options here are wonderful. Varied, laid out comfortably, and were aplenty. Now, since this is a family-type, all-gen locale with people chatting, studying, working, etc. if you’re gonna have a policy of leave all your stuff at a table and we will clean up after you, then the staff needs to be mindful and quick to clean up and wipe down. We found a table and waited for them… asked them to wipe down and remove old mugs, they finally came to clean up with our order delivery. This Location had multiple staff who knew the menu and could recommend what to eat/drink. I’ve been at another location and the guy couldn’t have cared less and was on his phone texting before and after taking our order, and never cracked a smile. The ladies here were smiling, coffee drinkers, and knew the menu. The bathrooms are individual bathrooms and clean. The parking lot is adjacent to a gas station, and I almost did not stop inside, but I’m so glad I did. Four total stars, because it’s a coffee shop, but the last 2 visits at this cinco location have both had better food than coffee :)
