Huggo’s is a must for us on every visit to the Big Island. It has been my favorite Kona Restaurant since the 80’s and they still have it going on. Being right on the water, the view is fabulous and…
Tucked in the back just south of Lava Java on Ali’i Drive is Kona Haven Coffee. It might look like you should just go on by but that could be a mistake for coffee adventurists. Inside they have a nice…
