The Coffee Shack is situated along Mamalahoa Highway at Captain Cook, around 25 minutes south of Kona (10 minutes driving time from Keauhou Bay). From their lanai, you can enjoy spectacular views over Captain Cook, Mokuakae Bay and even some parts of Kealakekua Bay.
Food is only served for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast you can choose from a variety of coffee drinks, of course, as well as Benedicts and Omelets. Their delicious sandwiches, pizzas and salads are offered all day until closing at 3:30pm. The menu includes lots of great vegetarian options as well. Note that they are usually closed on Wednesdays.
It is sometimes difficult to find parking, but we have always been able to land a spot after a short wait. However, there is usually a wait for a table anyway, so make sure to get your name on their list while you wait for a parking spot to open up. The wait is well worth it here!
