    Every time we are on the Big Island, we take the time to drive to the Punalu'u Bakery in South Point. It is a couple of hours' drive from Kona and SO WORTH IT! I go straight for the Lilikoi Malasadas that are heaven in your mouth. They also have coconut turnovers that are fantastic.

    These are my favorite dessert in Hawaii! There are so many great foods to try in Hawaii!

    Cinnamon Roll from Lava Java Kona

    Cinnamon Roll from the Island Lave Java in Kona

    Lava Java has an amazing location right on Alii Drive in Kona. You can sit outside and enjoy a gorgeous view out over the water while enjoying their delicious cinnamon roll. This cinnamon roll is perfect for 2-3 people. Even with two of us enjoying the cinnamon roll we ended up with leftovers to enjoy the next morning.

    Try and make a reservation on OpenTable to make sure your table is ready when you get there. They had quite a line the last few times we have been there.

    Hello yum! The perfect combination of coconut and mocha in a frappuccino! You just can't go wrong with this drink in Hawaii!

    Pineapple Creme Brulee at Tommy Bahamas

    You can't get much more tropical and delicious than the pineapple creme brulee at Tommy Bahamas. The tart and sweetness of pineapple mixed with creme brulee is wonderful. Plus it is the perfect Instagram pic! 🙂

    Address: 68-1330 Mauna Lani Dr, Waimea
    Phone:(808) 881-8688

    Melona Bars

     Melona Bars

    The only place we have been able to find Melona Bars is in Hawaii. You can find them in the grocery store freezer section or at the local ABC store sold individually. They are by far my favorite ice cream bar! They come in strawberry, melon, and a few other flavors. We pick up a box each time we are on the island. They are not cheap, but they are sooooooooo good!

    Mauna Loa Big Island of Hawaii

    Mauna Loa Chocolate Covered Mac Nuts at the factory!
