This is the place to go for some healthy morning eats. I got the Acai smoothie which has acai, strawberries, banana, mango, goji berries, coconut milk and chia seeds. This smoothie was the perfect morning snack. My friends got the Kickin It Acai bowls and enjoyed it. There can be a wait as its a popular spot, but it is worth it.
Not sure why your online hours say your open but your shop is closed. Really bummed walking up to locked doors. Consider checking your Instagram and your website hours as well, its not just Google.*update: your Instagram still shows your open Wednesdays.
Only stayed in Bend for about a week or so, but Im glad I managed to find this wonderful cafe. Coffee is top notch. By time of this review I have ordered all of the house favorite blends and so far am impressed by almost all of them.In terms of food the banana bread is a must have. I mean it. Its been awhile since Ive had banana bread that good. The picture probably says it all but just everything that goes into it is fantastic. This place is definitely a must stop for any morning ritual.
This place is my go to spot for coffee and yummy açaí bowls!! The avocado toast is also delicious.The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick.Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!
Kanona is decent - Ive only ever tried the Hana Acai Bowl and its not bad. Definitely not the best acail bowl Ive ever had but its for sure the best in Bend! The flavor overall is good, but i think the value you get isnt completely worth the price. If you go to a comparable place in Hawaii, san Diego, or la, you get a lot more fruit/other toppings for the same price.Overall, not bad. I would return again just because i love acai bowls a lot (and Ive also been going to saline grindz since i was a kid so Ill always support the owners) but i would like to see more fruit/toppings!(:
This is my favorite spot to stop with my 3 year old. We love their Hana acai bowl to share and I usually get a classic avocado toast. Something about their bread makes for a great toast! I would seriously eat here every day if I could. Great vibes, young friendly staff, and great lattes as well!
Love this cafe!! Been going here for years for the coffee. Hands down best coffee in town. Sometimes I splurge and get the avo toast which is always amazing with the perfect crisp to the toast and perfect texture to the avocado mash! Yuuumm! I also like the warrior açaí bowl! Huge portions so I always split it with someone! I quit caffeine last year when I got pregnant and was so worried about drinking decaf. Kanona uses the Swiss water method to decaffeinate their coffee which has zero chemicals!! I was so pleased to get to continue having their coffee and the decaf tastes just as good! I love that it’s owned by a local family. Sad to see the pandemic has made staffing hard but I would wait in an hour line for their coffee! Thanks Kanona!
This place is cool. The coffee I had was a complete winner, as was the avocado toast concoction they came up with. The acacia bowls they offer will be first on the my list, next rotation, super nutritious for you.
Loved the coffee and food quality here. On pricier side but wasnt disappointed. Super friendly staff and clean place.
Friendly service and delicious acia bowls and smoothies, all kinds of vegan stuff too!
Pretty pricey. Their bowls are amazing. Their coffee is horrible.
An absolutely wonder breakfast. Easy to eat gluten and dairy free. Their homemade gf granola was amazing on an açaí bowl, and the coffee was delicious.
Love this spot! We tried it once and ended up stopping in everyday while in Bend. We tried nearly everything on the menu- smoothies, bowls, coffee, and creative toast- everything was amazing. Love the minimalist island vibe and the employees were all friendly and super helpful.
Today was my first visit. I got the Local Girl. This is my new favorite coffee... OF ALL TIME. This drink is perfectly flavored and not too sweet! Cute little shop and super sweet staff too.
From the gulf coast to of Texas to Bend Oregon and this place is killer! If your your looking for some local love and stoked vibes walk in and grab a brew. The atmosphere is from the owners experiences and keeps ya entertained. Stay stoked and see Jacob to get ya fixed up.
Iced Local Girl coffee was PERFECT for a hot day!
Absolutely incredible customer service and amazing food... highly recommend!
Great coffee, tasty acai bowls, fantastic staff, cute building. We visited every morning on our vacation to Bend and it was always a treat!
This place has some magic vibes. Always nice atmosphere, great place to have coffee or bowls and enjoy life
I love the variety. They dont just have standard coffee they have delicious teas and fun drinks like Butterfly Flower - butterfly pea flower, coconut blossom sugar, ginger. It was SO good. Their protein balls are delicious and paleo friendly. Their acai bowls are really good too. I cant say enough good things.
Kanona, as a whole, is a really great coffee/Açaí bowl shop. However, I want to warn you and steer everyone away from using any delivery apps to get their food delivered. I ordered a Hana bowl with almond milk and bananas on top— I received a warrior bowl… with chocolate and peanut butter— things I cannot consume. I was so disappointed in my experience using Doordash to order Kanona to be delivered. I’m grateful doordash will refund my money, but I’m frustrated as to how the mixup could happen considering the Hana and Warrior bowls are so vastly different. Will only be purchasing from Kanona if I ever do happen to be on the west side of town (which is next to never).. bummer.
Loved it!The atmosphere is so cool and really makes you feel like you’re in Hawaii despite the snow outside 😄I tried the Road to Hana toast and it was delicious!!!Banana bread is used as the base and it just a brilliant idea 😋
Local favorite.. No matter what flavor these hawaiians turn down the heat and bring passion while doing it.. Stop by for shave ice at lunch time
Tasty açaí bowls, killer coffee and an atmosphere to match it all. We went here twice on a 4-day Bend trip
This is a great place for breakfast. Clean eating. Their acai bowls are amazing. They have these Kanona bites that looked delicious too. Friendly staff and lots of seating outside. We enjoyed our black coffee and mocha with coconut milk on the patio. I would highly recommend stopping here for breakfast. They also serve lunch!
This place is soo good we came here both days of our trip. Their coffee is definitely a different flavor than I’ve ever had before, so unique and amazing. Açaí bowls are off the charts. So nourishing and tasty. Very high quality, 100% recommend.
Great coffee, a little pricey but worth it if you are looking for a good cup and great service,
Super nice staff, good atmosphere and great coffee
Stopped by based on reviews to get an afternoon caffeine fix. Ordered cold brew, it was ok. Staff were al young and had the same look. Would try another place next time.
Just moved to the area and have been slowly checking out all the coffee places in town. So far this is the best coffee wise, I haven’t tried food yet.Super cute and chill atmosphere, nice guy working, and the mocha was amazing.
I love this place but the person making my coffee today fully had their mask under their nose. Did not seem safe.
Fantastic. Takes me back to maui.
Smoothies are super yummy . No sugary fillers all natural goodness.
Gross smoothies. Both I got were very thin. Like nut milk in a glass. Flavor is fine but was extremely disappointed. Less milk more fruit. Or use frozen fruit to make it thicker.Atmosphere was relaxing. Staff were friendly.
Laid back atmosphere. Tasty acai bowls. Staff need to put their masks over their noses when preparing food and drinks though.
Great spot! Love their beet toast, and the avocado toast. Staff is always kind, and helpful.
Great space super friendly staff and great Açaí bowls. Was able to connect to WiFi and work for a couple hours. Recommend it!
We were excited to get our acai bowl fix, but it really disappointed. Just not the fruity flavors youd expect. Theres another place in town we found who offer top draw bowls, Kanona we wont rush back.
Delicious coffee and acai bowls.
Excellent açai bowls.
Great coffee, amazing food! The toasts are every bit as good as the bowls and the bowls are phenomenal!!
Got a lovely cup of cold brew, a warrior acai bowl and a Road to Hana toast. All three were excellent. Andy and his teammate prepared all the items to order and it was so delicious.The Road to Hana toast starts with thick sliced house-made banana bread and then is topped with ricotta, blueberries, banana, pecans, honey. What a tasty way to start my day.The warrior Acai bowl is a blend of acai, banana, strawberries, raw cacao, almond butter, plant protein, almond milk and then is topped off with granola, almond butter, blueberries, banana, almonds and a few cacao nibs.My partner and I travel the country full-time and love spots like this. Whenever I am back in Bend, Oregon, I will be sure to stop by this place!
I visited this local shop during my vacation in Bend. Isiah was welcoming and went above and beyond describing their pastries and gluten free options. I love the coffee here and will definitely be back. Awsome customer service!!!!!
I love this place!!! My favorite thing on the menu is the “kicken it bowl”. Also, they make one of the best lattes in town. Thank you for opening in the Bend community!
Best coffees, smoothies, acai bowls, and the owners are great people. Snow cones are great too!
The best smoothie Ive ever had honestly. They have a really fun surf vibe and an awesome porch when its nice out. The staff are always super friendly and willing to answer any questions. They have really good coffee and acai bowls. The smoothies are the best around and I cant stop coming back for my. Definitely recommend.
The avocado toast is fantastic. Instead of a thin layer of anemic avocado spread, real chunky avocado sits happily on toast topped with seeds, radish, and other green stuff. Highly recommended.
Kanona brings the true spirit of Hawaii to Bend. Not only do they serve some of the best coffee in town, they have incredible acai bowls with boundiful flavors and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere feels tropical and hip, and the employees are always patient and kind. My go tos are: Lehua Latte (warm or iced) and the Kickin It
Delicious, I had an almond smoothie which was not only unique, but healthy and full of yummy flavor. My mom had the ricotta nut berry thingy, and my girlfriend had the avacado toast. Smiles all around, we loved it. Ill definitely be going back :)
A very cute coffee shop in NW Bend. Stopped in on our way out of town for last minute coffee with family. They make some bagel-egg combinations for breakfast- some toast options. The menu is limited but they make the items on the premises so they are very fresh.
Fantastic atmosphere, brings a little bit of the island to Bend. No better way to brighten up your day than a fresh smoothie or fantastic coffee. Check them out!
A sweet friendly little place, with good light ---- and one of the best espresso macchiatos i have had in a long time: creamy and smooth, with round flavor. Definitely a go to place in Bend. Also a nice shave-ice store is right next door.
Best tasting pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had.. plus a delicious treat called a Konona Bite. Friendly & quick service... great atmosphere!
In my opinion this is the best place in town to get an acai bowl. We usually get the get pitted bowl but we decided to venture into something different so we got the greens and it was absolutely delicious. Service is always quick and very friendly and this has become one of our go-to places for a quick bite.
I can’t say enough good things! I started coming for the açaí bowls and macadamia nut milk chai teas. I’ve upgraded to a coffee drinker (partially because of this place!) getting dirty chais or one of their seasonal flavored lattes. The smoothies are delicious and priced appropriately in my opinion. The toasts (not something I’d ever order) are super yummy and hearty. The staff is always a pleasure and I enjoy seeing the owners so involved in their business. As you can tell, I love this place!
Great food and we socially distanced
Great people and great coffee. With tons of variety
Wonderful spot that nails it on combining relaxed surfer vibes with a true commitment to quality product. Get more than just coffee here. Theres tons of healthy fruit based options.That being said, this place had the best drip coffee Ive ever tasted.
Excellent mocha...best banana bread, & raspberry scone I have ever tasted
Very good coffee with great service!
Enjoyed the atmosphere and the variety on the menu! Hate to share such a good review as I liked the feeling of a quiet tucked away private place...
Great place
Make no mistake about it - this place is a coffee house with great food and an excellent front porch to hang out on with your laptop or to meet your friends. Espresso here is amazing.
The best coffee Ive tasted in Bend so far
Great tasting. Plenty of flavors to choose from. And good customer service.
Love everything Ive had here. Sometimes weve had a bit longer of a wait for the bowls to be made if we get there right when they open (which is not that big of a surprise).
Amazing♡
The layout is nice with a nice porch. The people who run the place are people who have visited Hawaii a handful of times and think they know enough about Hawaii to bring it to bend. I would recommend their cafe but not the açaí bowls if you are looking for a Hawaii type açaí bowl. For the same price you can go to Active Culture and get a large Hawaii feel açaí bowl. There seems to be favoritism between different customers. It’s definitely a Hawaiian culture through Bend eyes.
Great little place! Terrific coffee, limited but very high quality menu... Worth the stop for sure
Really great location, friendly vibe, and very cozy.
They introduced me avocado toast. Thank heaven for that. Coffees dope. Good vibes.
We loved their Hawaii island vibe, which brought us right back to our vacation in Maui we had just returned from a week prior. It was fun to compare the acai bowls from the island to those at Kanona. Kanona acai bowls were about the same price as most of the bowls we tried in Maui, but Kanonas were a bit smaller (served in a large flat bowl almost like a plate, instead of the traditional paper bowls), and had less toppings (we really liked the bowls in Maui with a whole banana, strawberries, and blueberries, which Kanona only had some of). Otherwise, the flavor was on point with Maui!
The food was amazing, not too sweet... not too bitter... it was just right! The banana bread is down right delicious! I was extremely impressed with their customer service. As I was enjoying my open faced banana bread toast and turmeric latte, I was able to witness the owner, Andy, patiently and ever so sweetly explain to an older new customer their acai bowl creations and coffee choices. He didnt let her confusion upset him or the impatients of other customers deter his efforts in helping his customer on an individual basis. If you want somewhere to go that truly values customer service and quality, Dakine Cafe is the spot.
Literally the best shave ice ever. Flavors are not fake tasting and its soooo refreshing on a hot day. As someone who cant have dairy though itd be nice to have a non-dairy cream opton
Friendly staff. Chill vibes. Groovy coffee. Go for the macadamia milk latte, if you’re not into dairy.
Good enough açaí bowls but their smoothies are basically water and ice! Very poor/rude customer service. If you can ignore the attitude of the people working there you may enjoy your açaí bowl!
Also has great Hawaiian shaved ice on the side
The star of the menu are the Acai Bowls. There is a full espresso bar. There are also other food items such as specialty toast and pastry items. The Acai Bowls are very much worth it. We have had Acai Bowls in Hawaii and these are just as good of not better.
This is one of the must try stops in Bend, its on the way up to the mountain/lakes and is two minutes down the road from drakepark.Dakine Cafe is AMAZING! Such a fun atmosphere and kind staff. They have the BEST Acai bowls and their coffee is on point every time! I highly recommend The Warrior Bowl: Acai, Banana, Raw Cacao, Almond butter, Plant protein, and Almond milk. As I am writing this, Andy is hanging up some plants on the patio--they make you feel right at home. I cant wait to see more locations open up :)
Fresh, refreshing, yummy and healthy. Will definitely return....
They make some bagel-egg combinations for breakfast- some toast options. :))
I just love the place--vibes, food, beverages.
Seems pretty cool. Expensive, but a nice porch.
A bit pricey but excellent flavor
Waited over 3 hours for service
Great acai bowls
Amazing acai bowls! Good vibes!
Yum! The best treat!
Good acai bowls!
Hospitality was just as bad as the raisin flavored coffee. Its not a good sign when the customers do more of the greeting than the staff.
Awesome, unique, and delicious açaí bowls.
Great smoothie bowls and coffee
