Visit Kailua-Kona: 808 Grindz Cafe

We decided to pick up some breakfast at 808 Grindz Cafe in Kona.

Maui Style Croissanwich
The Croissanwich was interesting - it was like an open face scrambled egg sandwich.
Portuguese Moco
I had the Portuguese Moco and upgraded to Fried Rice.  It was just okay - the fried rice could've used more garnishes and I think they could've given a few more pieces of Portuguese sausage.

Makawowie Burrito

The Makawowie Burrito is actually not a burrito, so we felt misled by the menu.  I actually thought we got someone else's plate by mistake (after the fact I searched online and saw many people had the same misconception).  The "Burrito" is actually tomatoes, eggs, onions, potatoes, and refried beans on fried rice.  

Note: 808 Grindz Cafe is a sister cafe to a former restaurant on Maui, thus the references to Maui and Maui cities in the dish names.    

Some of us really liked the food, some of us thought the food was just "okay," but I did appreciate how quick the service was and how generous the portion sizes were.
