If you’ve been meaning to check out the newly reimagined Kona Craft Cafe, this is your moment. We’ve teamed up for an Instagram giveaway that gives one lucky winner the perfect excuse to plan their next brunch in the Village.

Formerly Daily News Cafe, the space has been refreshed by owner Aaron Williams in collaboration with Chef Brad Thomas, bringing a new energy and a menu to match. Kona Craft Cafe blends classic American breakfast and lunch with Hawaiian-inspired flavors, creating a lineup of dishes that feels both familiar and worth coming back for. Think bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a relaxed coastal setting that makes it easy to linger a little longer.
The giveaway includes a Champagne Brunch the Kona Way for two, plus two 20 oz. Yeti tumblers and two Kona Craft Cafe t-shirts. It’s a chance to settle in, try something new, and experience the updated menu for yourself.
