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.

Cute little coffee spot and the vibes were great. Service was good and coffee was great!

Honeybee
Haili A.

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

Menu
Bianka G.

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.

Stopped by this coffee shop while vacationing in Maui and I am so impressed!…read more The exterior of the shop is like any type of truck style coffee shop. It's drive thru style and very convenient! We were greeted by 3 lovely baristas and they were sooo helpful in finding the order for me! My order can be difficult (sorry to all the baristas :( ) where I'm so particular on my milk/sugar/coffee ratio and they were able to get it perfectlyyyy. I ordered an iced double shot espresso W/ simple syrup and 2% milk. They didn't even have 2% but was still able to manually make it for me!! I am so appreciative of doing the extra mile for my drink. + points for using iced coffee cubes to make sure the drinks aren't watered down either! I highly recommend! My bf got a triple shot latte and it was so strong and very yummy too!

I always pass by Kraken Coffee (pronounced like "Crackin") - Kahalui, during many visits but just…read morerecently gave it a try, when we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, - so close by. Since then I've been making a stop. Kraken Coffee Maui- Kahului is coffee food truck which also has drive thru. I always walk up to the window for service. They are pretty busy with only one barista working usually. Supporting local at Kraken and my favorite that I order is the caramel macchiato, or the vanilla macadamia nut latte. Love the strong brewed blended taste of coffee with sweetness. I think it is way better than the other guys. Service is good, getting my drink after I order is quick & I usually pair it with a donut from KK. There are 2 Kraken coffee shop, Kahului and Kihei, they are Maui's local coffee shop and roastery. If you visiting or on Maui, check out this grab and go coffee spot!

Since it was Sunday, I decided today was the day. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur because of a health condition I have and caffeine can affect me but I do love coffee (even if it doesn't love me) but I'll usually go with a Tea option or Smoothie. I decided on a simple smoothie so I got the Keiki Smoothie with Banana, Strawberry and Apple Juice. I asked the waitress what sandwich is the most popular and she said the Turkey Pesto Melt and boy did that hit! It really was the BEST sandwich. It was on a crispy, flaky...and might I add...buttery croissant with thick slices of turkey, tomato, creamy pesto aioli and melted provolone! It came with some chips and dill pickle on the side. The only downside was the price-it was about $17 so I'm sure I'll treat myself once in a good while to this. My small smoothie was $8 but refreshing nonetheless. I love the vibes inside with hanging plants and art work throughout. There was someone doing remote work or school in the corner with her sleepy golden retriever next to her, a few locals outside and some visitors inside. The workers are friendly and I saw one clean the outside tables right away after a few parties left. A nice spot to hit up for some nice breakfast, lunch and a coffee with a friend.

Luxe Latte happened to be right around the corner from our condo so we headed on over. It is a little trailer that is basically permanently situated right outside of Maui Golf in the parking lot. I say permanent because they along with a few other trailers have it all decked out with fencing, roofing, etc. It's very close to the water, so if you sit outside of their trailer and enjoy your drink, you can hear the waves. Like everywhere we went in Maui, customer service was outstanding. People are just happy out here! We had plans to eat later, so this was just a caffeine stop. They have a pretty big menu with lots of drink options. They have coffee, tea, frappes, espresso frappes, hot chocolate, Italian cream sodas and smoothies. All their brews are freshly roasted in Maui. I like a good latte and their signature Luxe Latte looked like the move for me. It had vanilla and raw Maui honey. I got it iced as the sun was shining bright that morning. I love that they present it with a little chocolate coffee bean on top of the drink. It's like a bonus. First sip of the drink and I was in love. You can taste the quality coffee along with the raw honey and vanilla. They definitely use quality ingredients here. If hunger strikes, they do have pastry options which I am not sure if they make on their own or source it from somewhere else. This was one of many coffee stops while we were vacationing in Maui, but it was one of my favorites as well. I would totally come back next time!
