Island Lava Java - CAPTAIN COOK

Great place with kind service and covid safety in place. Best view for people watching

The food at this restaurant is consistently good and the staff is friendly. Tawney is the standout employee. The view adds to the enjoyable experience.

There are many restaurants in Kona that claim to have the best breakfast, but Island Lava Java Bistro, even without such a sign, definitely serves one of the best breakfasts in Kona. We both ordered the Big Island Basic which comes with 2 eggs cooked any way, choice of bacon or sausage, and potatoes or rice. The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable, plus the view of the ocean across the street is amazing. The service was fantastic, with very friendly staff who kept refilling our coffee in large mugs. It's a great place to relax and start the day off right.

Such delicious food! I went for breakfast and it was amazing. Kona coffee in the French press was great too. Amazing ocean view. Great service, great environment.

I ordered the Big Kahuna breakfast with grilled Mahi mahi, two eggs and Haschbraunkartoffeln. Everything was so good! The fish was fresh and right, like eggs and potatoes. The fruit cup was a little old looking, but had taste. My husband had the fish tacos and was very satisfied. My mimosa cocktail was pretty flat, but the Hana Hou was delicious. My husband's **** Mary was great. It was my birthday, so the surprise chocolate cake was decadent! Connie was a great waitress. Great view from the second floor seat and no hurry to get us out. Very satisfied with everything and the free birthday entree.
