We are back!
Inverleith F.

Stop number two after landing from the mainland. Hubby needs that jolt of caffeine to get the island vibe and I couldn't resist the chai. Why not?? So glad this place is able to withstand all of the challenges Maui has had to and continues to endure post the fire. We do our best to support local businesses and encourage you to do the same.

Cup of coffee

A drive thru location for Akamai coffee. Wanted to try their Maui drip coffee but what a downer that their machine was down and there was no other option except their regular espresso drinks on menu which was unfortunate. Tried their Americano - initial sip tasted bitter but the coffee had a smooth finish which was a delight. The longer I drank the coffee, it grew on me. What would have been an unfortunate rating changed throughout the day, and that's why it's important not to rate immediately but to allow you whole tasting and experience to sit for a bit. I still wished I could try their award winning coffee however.

Hot Chai Tea with Almond Milk & Banana Bread with Chocolate Chip

If you're looking for the best coffee on Maui, go to Akamai Coffee! Visit this Kahului location if you're on the go or heading to the airport since it is a convenient mobile drive up while the 2 on the Southside where I live are dine in. My employer introduced me to them years ago because he used to treat my coworker and I to a Hawaiian Honeybee! It has espresso, coconut, vanilla and honey. One of their popular drinks but they always have a seasonal menu if you want to try! I'm a Chai fan and their homemade blend is one of my top favorites on Maui. I always add either Coconut Milk or Almond milk and enjoy it hot and cold. The only thing that keeps me from buying all the time is the price because it can get expensive. I always have to get substitute milk so my drink ends up being $7-9. The quality is definitely worth it. I wish there was Kamaaina discount offered or maybe a stamp card, then I'd probably come more often. If you want delicious food, I'd recommend their Akamai Wailea Village location. I treat myself sometimes when I got the funds. Their tomato bisque, egg toast and avocado toast are my favorite! The homemade banana bread with Chocolate chip is delish too!

I'm back in Maui and this is one of my go-to coffee shops. Today I got a Road to Hana iced latte and yes, I remembered why I love it so much. Definitely delicious, not strong, sweet. Service? Super friendly and polite, as I remembered. Now, this is a cute little drive-thru, so don't go expecting super quick, hasty service or a sit-down area. Be patient, relax. And they have a Christmas menu! I'm definitely coming back to try something from that.

We were looking for a coffee spot after the airport and our driver had told us this was a good spot. It is a drive thru, in a small kiosk, look for the Home Depot. I would suggest looking up the menu beforehand since the menu is pretty small and you can only really see it when you're at the ordering window. There wasn't a line when we arrived but we definitely felt rush trying to order. The menu is small but they do have a list of specialty drinks available. I would say this place is good for sweeter coffee options. Service was ok. The drink was ok. Overall, If you want something sweeter and not so coffee forward, this is the place.

Iced latte

Stopped by for an afternoon snack. The lady at the window was very friendly and handed our drinks down to our very low car. Drinks came out quickly. I got an iced latte which hit the spot.

Honeybee
Haili A.

Quick coffee stop on the way to Hana! Honey bee coffee with coconut, honey, and vanilla. It was very good.

Menu

Located in the back parking lot of Home Depot It is drive thru only but the line moves fairly steady. The drive thru window is on both sides. Ordered THE HAWAIIAN HONEYBEE - who doesn't love espresso, honey, coconut, and vanilla. Very very good!

Drive thru :)
Adriana A.

Honeybee latte with soy was delicious! The flavor that stood out the most was coconut but it was balanced in terms of sweetness :)

Samantha C.

Amazing coffee and perfect for your on the go needs!!! A drive thru only location and the staff are so kind. I did pay $8 for a cold brew (the NOLA) but it's delicious, supporting local business, and fresh local ingredients :)

Iced Hawaiian Honeybee Latte
Rosario R.

Drive up, roll down the window, and grab the best Hawaiian Honeybee Latte at Akamai Coffee Co. So smooth, lightly sweet, and full of aloha. Love the convenience!

Matcha and R2H
Johanna B.

read so many good reviews and was excited about trying it out but was very disappointed. The taste of the coffee (R2H) was watery and burnt tasting and very bitter, the flavor of the macadamia nut was not very rich and it tasted just like bitter coffee and milk. The matcha also was so light in color and did not have much matcha taste at all. The drive through was nice but the area around it smelled really bad like trash that had been sitting out for a while. The service was also lacking. We gave $15 cash for two drinks and the barista did not give us any change... we were planning to give tip anyways but were surprised at the fact that she didn't even ask if we wanted change and felt entitled to take it when we hadn't told her it was her tip.

So glad I bought a lot of bags to bring home for ourselves and as gifts for friends! The Kona…read moreFancy is a GREAT full bodied cup of coffee. All the Maui Oma bean varieties we purchased and brought home with us have been excellent. After some research we found Maui Oma's retail space was located in Kumu Farms Market which is located in Maui Tropical Plantation. They offer many different coffees (peaberry coffees, espresso roast, lots of blends), some tools and small equipment for coffee making, and cool Maui Oma merch. Wish they had a tasting station with coffee samples so we get to know all the different coffees and can make easier/quicker choices. They have line cards next to each coffee explaining the roast, origin and flavor profile, but nothing beats sampling them. The cafe next door serves Maui Oma coffee but it's not a place where you can choose the type of Maui Oma beans you want brewed. They don't really showcase the Maui Oma brand by at least telling you what they are brewing. Regardless, I was just happy to try a cup of their coffee at the cafe. Shout out on the sleek, tasteful packaging design and quality. Perfect for gifting.

This rating is for the coffee shop not for the store next door. I had my day planned out for my…read morevisitor who came to Hawaii for the first time. I took them to Iao valley which was closed for repairs. Then I planned to stop by here cause their goal was to by coffee and bring it back to the mainland. So why not stop here so they can taste it then go next door to by the beans. Yelp said they open at 8 am. We got there around 8:30. The sign said closed. So disappointed. The gentleman who was working with the dolly looked like the owner in the picture on Yelp. Never said anything to us. While we stood around. The security guard was really nice. The store next door opened at 9. The employee had cracked the door open and I spoke to him to see when they opened since we couldn't get a cup of coffee. He was sweet enough to let us in to buy the coffee beans. I was thankful for let us go it.

Amazing Experience at O'o Farm! I'll admit, I was a little…read morehesitant when my wife suggested a coffee farm tour I was thinking golf, beach, pool, and relaxing! But I'm so glad she talked me into it. The entire experience was amazing. Our tour guide was awesome, the farm was beautiful, and learning about the coffee and farm-to-table process was fascinating. We also had the farm-to-table brunch, and the food was absolutely incredible fresh, delicious, and one of the highlights of the tour. I actually left wanting to go home, eat healthier, and start a garden! If you're in Maui, don't pass this one up. Great tour, amazing brunch, beautiful setting, and a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

We were really looking forward to visiting O'o Farm, but unfortunately our experience was…read moredisappointing, especially considering the cost. We paid for three full spots for myself, my husband, and my mom. Based on the description of a walking farm tour, we expected a more immersive experience moving through the farm and exploring. Instead, the tour felt much slower paced and involved a lot more standing and listening than we anticipated. Our guide also seemed to lose his train of thought several times, which made the pace feel even slower. We were traveling with our toddler, and once he started having a hard time with the pace, my husband and I took turns leaving the tour and sitting in the car with him so we would not disrupt the other guests. We were trying very hard to be considerate of everyone else while still getting as much out of the experience as we could. I went to speak with staff twice while we were there because I was clearly struggling and trying to figure out what our options were. When I asked about a partial refund, I was told that they expect families to be flexible. We were extremely flexible. We took turns missing parts of the tour, separated from each other, and ultimately left only when our toddler became so exhausted and upset that staying through the meal was no longer realistic. What disappointed me most was the lack of effort to help us find any kind of solution. We paid for three full experiences and ultimately missed the entire meal portion. We were not offered food to go, a chance to come back later for the meal, a rescheduled visit, a credit, or any other accommodation. I understand now that the meal is served in multiple courses and may not have been easy to package all at once, but none of that was explained to us while we were there and no alternative was suggested. I also don't think it should fall entirely on a distressed guest, who has already spent a significant amount of money, to come up with every possible way the business could help. A professional business could have offered several reasonable options, even if a refund was not possible. The customer service after the visit was also disappointing. I emailed afterward asking management to consider a partial refund and received no response. I had to send a second follow-up email simply to get an answer. Only then was I told that management had reviewed the situation and would not offer any partial refund, credit, rescheduling option, or other accommodation. Management's response emphasized that our family made the decision to leave. Of course we made the decision to leave -- our toddler was exhausted and extremely upset, and we did not want to ruin the experience for everyone else. That decision came after we had already spent a significant portion of the tour taking turns away from the group and after I had spoken with staff more than once trying to find a solution. I completely understand that businesses have policies and that traveling with a toddler comes with unpredictability. My disappointment is not about expecting special treatment. It is about the lack of customer service, flexibility, communication, or goodwill shown both during the experience and afterward. For the price of this experience, I expected better communication and more effort to find a reasonable solution. Having to reach out twice just to receive a response declining any accommodation only added to the disappointment. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled afterward left us with an even worse impression than the tour itself.
