Kona Cafe - macadamia pineapple pancakes?

[ibela]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had the pancakes recently (since the menu description change) and whether they still have the pineapple baked in or are plain with just the sauce on top. Thanks!

 

[Hopefully]

I have not tried them since the change, but I have read here that it is now plain pancakes with the Macadamia Nut Butter and Pineapple on top

Thank you. I'll be cancelling the reservation as this was the only reason I wanted to eat breakfast there.

So they are no longer loading the pancake batter with whole macadamia nuts? This is a bummer if true..

I am considering cancelling our also. This was my favorite breakfast.

Plain. and Terrible. Very disappointed in Kona. The Tonga Toast wasn't much either. Food is really declining lately.

Have to agree with you here, the food is declining. The macadamia nuts in the pancake batter is what made the dish special, and why we returned. Just another cost cutting tweak. Heck You can get the Tonga toast at Captain Cooks, and the Kona and French pressed coffee at Kona Island coffee bar. Sadly, no point in breakfast at Kona Cafe for us.

Well folks, the Macadamia Nut Pancakes at Kona ARE, in fact, LOADED with macadamia nuts IN the batter as of May 19, so you all can relax. The pancakes were topped with a huge dollop of pineapple butter and more pineapple. And more macadamia nuts. I'm sorry, I don't remember if there was pineapple IN the batter, but they were pretty darn good. DH has scrambles eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuit (I don't remember name of this breakfast entree) and that also was pretty darn good, as was the Kona Cofee.

We were there on Tuesday June 6 and this does not agree with what we got. There were absolutely no nuts in the pancakes and we got a small pineapple ring and a small dollup of butter. No extra nuts.

I didn't know of the change til I got there & wanted to try the Mac. Nut cakes too. Sadly they were gone but I got the pork belly eggs ben instead & they were fantastic!!!! I'd keep the ADR honestly!

I ordered this June 2nd and June 9th. Both times the macadamia nuts were in the batter (hence the finished pancakes), and there was a wonderful helping of pineapple/butter on top. Delicious! There were more nuts on the 2nd than on the 9th so it sounds like consistency is an issue. I do not think there was pineapple inside the pancakes....i only noted pineapple as part of the topping.
