PLEASE NOTE: Papa Kona’s Manager notified us on October 24, 2020 that they only allow certified service dogs. Where: 75-5770 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona (near Bubba Gump’s and Wyland Art Gallery) Call: (808) 339-7824 Website: https://papakonarestaurant.com/ Open daily from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.  (Breakfast starts at 7:30 a.m., but you can pick up a cup of delicious coffee at 7:00 a.m.) Review: For the dog-loving coffee connoisseur, Daylight Mind Company is fabulous.  They have a very large, completely shaded wrap-around lanai overlooking Kailua Bay with lots of seating and space for you and your canine companions.  The breeze keeps it perfectly cool (even chilly!), even for the furriest of dogs.  I have had breakfast there a few times and really enjoyed their unique menu and select island(s) coffees.  This is not a Denny’s!  LOL  Everything is fresh, most items are locally grown or raised in the Hawaiian islands, and tastes really REALLY good.  Service is wonderful, polite, and helpful, and guess what…Many of them are dog owners, too!
