They're open early, which was exactly what I needed after an early flight. The staff was incredibly friendly, and there's convenient parking right next to the shop. They also have covered outdoor seating, which is perfect if you get caught in one of Kauai's quick rain showers. I recommend bringing cash and ordering the specialty macadamia vanilla latte with macadamia milk. It was delicious and the perfect way to start the day. Enjoy.

All the cold-foam matchas are excellent. The avocado toast is excellent! The people are very nice and quick. The coffee's are really good too. The only negative I can give this place is that since it is popular, lots of people know about it and it can get busy... but still TOTALLY WORTH IT! Every morning we get up, go get a matcha or coffee and sit on the beach to read. What a perfect way to start each day of a vacation!

Even the bathroom was themed, clean, and neat. You could comfortably enjoy your food and drink here while you catch up with a friend, do some work, or just to sit alone and enjoy.

I wish I had an oven so I could do just that. There are a lot of coffee options to choose from and many sound really good. I went with Mr. melrose since it is the namesake drink, makes me think it's a signature. I really liked it! I chose dark chocolate and it wasn't too sweet, which was just right. Coffee was smoothe and really refreshing to drink. We also got the truffle egg croissant which I highly highly recommend. It's so good. Packed with plenty of eggs, definitely taste the truffle and my goodness that croissant was very well made, well laminated, buttery, moist and flakey at the same time. The barista was also very very kind. Great service! I highly highly recommend.

I'm gonna keep this simple…read more In a twist of fate...... I have discovered that My NEW Favorite coffee shop on the beautiful Island of Kauai is..... Drum Roll Please..... MELROSE!!!!!!! That's it. That's my Review. What do you think? Gotcha! Alright, here's how it went down. During our most recent trip to Kauai, we went to our favorite little local breakfast spot in Lihue, known as Tip Top. Fun Fact #1: Tip Top has been around for over 100 years (yeah! It was Established in 1916). Fun Fact #2: Hawai'i didn't even become a state until 1959. Crazy right! Anywho... that morning we drove into Lihue and pulled into the Tip Top parking lot just like we do every trip to Kauai. But this visit, as we approached the front door, there was a sign posted at the entrance saying something along the lines of: "Sorry, No coffee today". Now I don't know about you, but you don't wanna see me without my morning brew. Of course, this didn't detour us from having a delicious breakfast at our favorite little hole on the wall. (Check out Tip Top if you want to eat with the locals) So as soon as breakfast was over, we got back in the rental car and went on Yelp to find us a place to get coffee. And after my wife scrolled for a few minutes looking at the different coffee shops nearby, she suddenly exclaimed: "oh this place looks cute!" In my head, my exact thought was ... "cute?". I don't want cute! I want caffeine, Lots of caffeine! But I was desperate. I didn't care if the place was cute or not, I just wanted coffee Stat! The drive from Tip Top was less than 2 minutes before we pulled into the Parking lot of Melrose. Initial impression: is this place even open? There were windows, but they were all covered and you couldn't see inside. Me: Oh great, it looks closed. Are we gonna have to settle for McDonalds coffee across the street? My wife: Just go check. Yelp says they're open. So I walk up, anxiously hoping for the best and..... To my surprise, they were open. Ok, this is where it went from good to GREAT! We walked in and my first thought (fellas don't judge) (ladies, I finally get it) The place was soooo CUTE!!! Haha Yeah, it was 1/2 Boutique (apparel, accessories, gifting) And 1/2 coffee shop/café. And of course, beautiful roses throughout. The 2 young ladies behind the counter were so sweet, kind and made us feel so welcomed. While looking at coffee menu to see what we wanted, we were offered a sample of their collagen melon milk frozen concoction. Ho. Lee. Crap. This stuff was ridiculously delicious, so you know we had to get ourselves a full size one for the kids to share. In addition we got a Miss Melrose (iced) and a Mocha Melrose (hot) for my mother-in-law waiting in the car with the kids. All drinks were out of this world and definitely made with love! Speaking of Love... Their straws are pink and are HEART SHAPED!!! Yeah, this place didn't leave any detail out. Everything from the product they sell (the coffee and merchandise in the boutique), the whole vibe this space gives off, and of course the kind hearted staff they employ here... Melrose, you deserve every star I'm giving you! It was too bad we had just come from breakfast, otherwise we totally would have eaten here because everything looked/sounded so good from their bakery menu. We liked it so much, we decided to stop in a few days later when we were passing through Lihue and realized this time, they were actually closed (closed on Sundays). Thankfully for us, Kauai is our home away from home in our hearts and we have been so blessed to be able to come back so often and share this special place with our kids. Melrose know this... We will 1000% be coming back and know that every person I talk to that's going to Kauai, I will pass on the good word about your shop. I wish you nothing, but success until me see you again. Mahalo!
