About
In Kona, you'll find Kohola Coffee, a venture born from owner Jeannette Butts' deep love for the ocean and a desire to serve exceptional coffee with convenience. Operating as Kona's first local drive-thru espresso business out of a distinctive coffee trailer, Kohola – meaning 'whale' – intricately links its offerings with marine stewardship. Jeannette's background on the water and her active role in whale disentanglement infuse the business with an authentic passion for the local environment. The menu thoughtfully reflects this ethos, notably featuring seasonal 100% Kona Brew, a true taste of the island's famed coffee. Beyond classic espresso drinks, you can explore unique creations like Ube Lattes topped with Ube Whipped Cream or the eye-catching Mermaid Matcha. Kohola also crafts smoothies using local, seasonal fruits and offers a 'Wellness Shot' packed with regional ingredients. Their 'Quick Grindz' like breakfast croissants make for a perfect pairing, all served with drive-thru ease. Visitors will particularly appreciate Kohola Coffee's heartfelt commitment. This woman-owned business extends its respect for the 'aina and ocean by actively supporting marine conservation efforts with every cup sold. It's more than just a coffee stop; it's an invitation to enjoy carefully crafted beverages while appreciating a business deeply rooted in the Kona community and its precious marine life, all served with a philosophy of 'aloha and deliciousness'.
