    I love this cafe near the airport! We just did the helicopter tour when we were looking for a coffee nearby the airport and found this place. Tried iced beige and it was very good. My friend liked his drip/brewed coffee, too so the next day before going to the airport to fly to Honolulu - we dropped by again to grab our quality drinks from this place. There's a lot of parking spaces and the cafe is spacious, tho restrooms are outside. The baristas are cool. Oh, try their cruffin (Pastry) when you go, it's such a treat!

    Hit macadamia nut latte

    Want a good espresso true cappuccino here is your place. Non of the fluff straight up a good espresso. I mostly stop here for the Kouign-amann. Moist on the inside flaky on the outside with macadamia nuts. It's not bad service here but I feel like the staff are a lil shy not very talkative. They sure can make a great latte.

    Such a gem! I was visiting and found this place! The people were so nice and coffee was made perfect.

    Iced caramel latte
    Kacie D.

    4.5 stars. Generously priced AND proper espresso? I'm impressed. What I got: Iced caramel latte for $5.49. They were out of macnut syrup which was the only thing on my mind during our 10 hour flight. Quite disappointing, but I was still understanding about it. After all, $5.49 for perfectly pulled, beautifully roasted shots of espresso? Kinda hard to be upset for too long. Atmosphere: The earth tones in here are beautiful. Simple, not boring. Clean, decent amount of seats/tables. Service: The girl taking orders was pretty standard, but the lady making the drinks was very bubbly and had a pretty smile!

    iced honey matcha latte

    matcha - this is my favorite matcha latte on kauai! great ratio of milk to matcha flavor, and i personally like adding vanilla syrup or honey. service - usually pretty quick and easy, but when it gets busy it can get a little slower and orders can get mixed up, but i feel like that's pretty normal for a cafe ambiance - nice, clean place to get some work done. not a whole lot of seating here but i can usually get lucky finding a seat pretty quickly

    Tried the kouign aman today, it was different from any other because it contained caramelized macadamia nuts in it!!! Had the Mac nut latte which was okay would have liked a stronger coffee flavor it was super milky. Wouldn't recommend. Service was quick they also had some blueberry muffins and cinnamon honey scones out. The pastries here are just divine.

    Needed to get coffee before our drive out to the north side so we stopped here since it didn't look too busy. Once inside, you'll find a cute simple coffee shop, not many seating available but open space. The menu to simple, and the pastries are located in a glass covered case. The girls inside didn't acknowledge us as we walked in, and while standing by the register ready to order, the girls still didn't acknowledge us. One girl finally came to take our order. I didn't know what the iced beige was, so she said, "it's just like a caramel blended drink". My daughter also ordered a kouign amann. Once our drink was ready, the girl just placed it on the counter and didn't even say anything. Mind you, there were just one other customer inside. I had to remind the girl of our pastry, so just goes, "oh yeah" grabs it and places it in the bag. She didn't even offer to toast it or even say thanks! Anyway, the drink was alright, not sweet at all. The pastry could've been better if toasted. Service was very poor considering it is in a tourist area too.

    We stopped in here as soon as we got off the plane in Lihue. Really needed a pick-me-up to get us through the extra hours of our travel day! Very close to the airport, and open until 3 PM. Very clean, minimalist atmosphere with a few places to sit and a short menu, but don't let that fool you. The coffee is roasted right there and is of excellent quality. The iced mocha with an extra shot, for a total of three shots, did the trick for me and was not too sweet. The staff is friendly and willing to answer your questions. :)

    Perfect Cap Breve
    Asher J.

    Okay this is a coffee. A cappuccino breve. The girls crushed it. On par with the best I have had in NYC, Seattle, LA, Paris and London. It is a cap breve. I love when something is universally consistent and delicious when done right. It is a home away from home for those of us constantly on the go and thus find continuity and stability through little rituals like that perfect cap breve first thing in the morning. Puts a smile on my face and pep in my step. Music is lovely and not too loud but sets ambiance. Not as many tables to work on which is odd as they definitely have the space. But maybe that's the vibe? I think it could stand for more work tops cos I would live here. They didn't even have to warm up the pastry as it was fresh and hot still. Quick service.

    General: 100% recommend if you're a true coffee lover. Food: The coffee was great! It's a great grade of coffee. Not watered down. I had a Mac Nut Latte. It was pretty good. Not too sweet. My husband who does like sweeter drinks got an iced vanilla cappuccino and just asked for a few more pumps of vanilla and he really enjoyed his as well! The pastries!!! Omg. The CH scone was DELISH! I also got the Mac Nut filled croissant like pastry. I forgot the name (oops) but also veerryyy good. Service: there was a small line when I arrived a little after they opened. One barista there taking orders, checking out and making drinks. So, it took a little while but not unbearable. She worked at a good pace. Atmosphere: minimalist. Clean. Very cute.

    Dark Horse Coffee Roasters - Iced Vanilla Latte (w/ mac nut milk and added haupia foam)

    Having been to a plethora of Dark Horses in Southern California, I was blown away to see one while…read moreresearching coffee spots in Kauai. It's really cool to see such a niche coffee roaster show up on the most niche island in Hawaii! It's located smack dab in the middle of Old Koloa Town, and it was the perfect place to start our day! We came pretty early after opening, and there were just a few souls in sight. The people working the bar were great, and we promptly ordered and got our drinks. There's plenty of seating, both inside and out, so that was a huge plus! I ordered a haupia foam cold brew, and my friend got a standard cold brew. Both were great, and the haupia foam was light and sweet. I only wish I got a larger size! Coconut, cream, and roasty flavors emanated from my drink, making every sip pretty punchy. My friend was saying how he thinks Hawaiian cold brew, in general, is on the lighter side (in dilution, not in roast). I tend to agree. But, that gives a lot of room to flavor or really just deliver a lot of volume in your drink. Overall, this was a super refreshing thing to have not only in the morning, but also in general on Kauai!

    I wanted to like this place more, but it's very mid, the matcha and latte were really just 3/5…read morestars. I ordered a hot matcha latte with oat milk, and the matcha already comes pre-sweetened per the barista. It tastes very similar to Starbucks matcha, not horrible but not great either. A little too sweet for my liking and not enough of the matcha flavor comes through. The color also wasn't the correct shade of green for good quality matcha, but I'm someone who likes to make my matcha at home and rarely find ones at coffee shops that I actually like, so take my review with that in mind, if you're a casual matcha drinking then you would like their version. It doesn't dry your tongue out or have a bitter taste. The following day I decided to try their coffee and ordered a hot vanilla oat milk latte. It was just okay, the espresso is a little more on the acidic side and I couldn't taste any vanilla flavor. Definitely not the worst latte I've had in Hawaii, but for the cost of lattes nowadays, I wouldn't come back to try more of their menu until I try other local coffee shops first. Pros: Plenty of parking right out front, good amount of seating inside, clean bathrooms, wifi, they sell their coffee beans and merchandise including shirts and hats which are super cute, there is also a small shop inside the same building that sells clothing/candles/bags/etc and the store employee is super nice
