Rather than going for the Kona coffee at this Starbucks (which just isn't up to par with other Kona blends sold on the islands), we came to the location on Kailua Road for a traditional latte with some of their yummy baked goods. The Starbucks on the Big Island get their pastries from a local bakery, so you don't have the stale taste you find at some locations on the mainland. We stocked up on some baked goods to take on our return flight, since the plane food is less than appetizing. Prices were in line with Starbucks higher-priced tradition, but weren't totally inflated for Hawaii (which pleased us).
