The Shops at Mauna Lani Adds KiMOBEAN

Kohala Coast, Hawai'i – The Shops at Mauna

KiMOBEAN, set to open in early summer, will serve premium coffees
from select estate farms on Kona, Maui, Molokai and Kauai.
In addition to fresh drip brew coffee, KiMOBEAN’s
menu will include a full complement of espresso drinks, coffee freezes
and other specialty drinks. KiMOBEAN’s food offerings will
include locally baked and made pastries, sandwiches and desserts.
'KiMOBEAN's dedication to Hawaii, the Aloha Spirit,
and a superior cup of coffee perfectly compliments The Shops at
Mauna Lani experience," said Bill Borkan, owner of The Shops
at Mauna Lani. "This level of attention to the art of coffee,
served with Aloha, is grounds for celebration."
The announcement comes on the heels of the addition
of two new restaurants – Monstera, an "izakaya-style"
Japanese eatery which is already creating island buzz, and Juice
101, a casual food, juice and smoothie bar slated to open in March
– and "The Great 4-D Movie Ride," Hawaii’s
first and only 4-D theater, which opened in late 2009. For

"Juice 101,” a juice, smoothie and
coffee bar providing healthy fuel for the body and mind, is slated
to open in January 2010. Created by restaurateurs Denise Walters
and Matthew Zubrod, the eatery features hand-pressed vegetables,
fruit juices and smoothies, and an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients
and general well being from food. The shop will also serve healthy
selections such as pressed sandwiches and salads.
The new restaurant opens on the heels of the
arrival of Hawaii’s first and only 4-D theater. Dubbed “The
Great 4-D Movie Ride,” the 24-seat theater opened in late
November, showing 3-D features and simulated “rides”
synchronized with full-range motion seats, surround sound and in-theater
“4-D” effects, such as blown air and water spray."
