Top rated Breakfast restaurants in Kailua-Kona, United States to elevate your visit (Updated February, 2024)

Cafe

👍 We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and the foods and drinks were great! The service was very average in my opinion, in that no matter how excited we were, the workers never seemed to show any desire or enjoyment of service.

👍👍 Lunch here was absolutely delicious! It’s a really nice local hidden gem. Their smoked meat (pork) was the star of the show, but the fried rice was amazing too.

Kalikala Cuisine

Restaurant

👍👍 Kalikala is the best place on Ali'i for breakfast.

I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict or the French Toast. The taste is so decadent one could die happ...
