A new eatery in my neighborhood. I had to check it out. It has a hip vibe offering coffee, tea, light fare, and ice cream. I ordered the mac nut pesto toast. It came beautifully decorated with straps of carrot and Cucumber. The toast was a rye, ulu sourdough bread. It had a nice crunch. I also ordered a poached egg on the side. They have ice teas on tap. I ordered the lilikoi oolong. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell loaves of bread. A bit pricey, but I had to buy. It's hard to find good bread on island. The cookies and Kalo vegan ice cream is yummy. read more

Matcha was amazing! (one of the best I've had) While the wait was a bit long, it was totally worth it. I ordered their goat cheese sandwich with fresh tomatoes and pesto, and while it was a bit too greasy the flavor was really tasty. I just WISH they used plastic or glass cups for their iced drinks as the paper cups don't hold up too long and you have to drink fast. Definitely check this place out! read more

Great service, the lady taking our order was super friendly and took her time explaining everything to us! Our drinks were tasty

I love it here! They're so consistent with the amount of syrups they add (which are homemade), they use quality milks (organic and their oat is minor figures barista oat blend!!!), and their espresso is phenomenal. We had ordered their coconut dulce de leche latte with oat and their macnut orgeat latte. Both were delicious. They also had a sprouted taro sourdough loaf and it was so good! They were so gracious to cut two slices out of the loaf we purchased so we could enjoy it. Their customer service was also above and beyond. The woman there made some latte art and she was very patient answering all our questions from the beans they had for retail vs their espresso on bar. She was super sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I also love the color scheme they have!! It's a nice ocean-y green with natural wood accents. Their espresso machine even matched. I love it here and recommended it to some friends too. They said it was a fantastic suggestion after they visited. When I come back, I'm always gonna stop here. read more

Excellent - good food - awesome coffee! Stop by. Cute spot! Rose latte is sooo good. Brekkie burrito is also amazing!

Our whole experience with Collab Cafe was an amazing one!! Sure, it was a busy Sunday at prime brunch time, so our food took a little longer than it might otherwise, but everything was really good and the staff was really friendly and nice. We'll definitely be back next time we come to Kauai and highly recommend this place! Absolutely LOVED the loaf of ulu sourdough bread we bought (and the fact that they have both that and even gluten-free cassava sourdough too), which we really enjoyed with some macadamia nut pesto toast as part of our brunch. My matcha latte with mac nut milk was sooo good too omgg!! Really nice that they had Okinawan sweet potato and kalo (taro) hash, which was great as well. Last but not least, I really enjoyed the good vibes, decor, outdoor seating area, and how they use so many fresh & locally sourced ingredients / gave partnerships with Hawaii farmers! So amazing. Until next time, Collab Cafe!!! read more

Delicious thoughtfully crafted brunch w/great coffee. SUPER warm and friendly service. The fam had veg bennie w/local greens and avocado, brisket sammie, banana mac waffle w/a side of house (amazing) bacon, and the special breakfast pupusa. There was a slight mix up w/the kitchen and one of our dishes was delayed but the sweetest young woman at the counter swept in and took care of us. The people here really care about the customer experience. I always appreciate when establishments take so much pride w/what they do. Thanks Collab it was a lovely final brunch on our last day of vacation read more

Amazing food and even better coffee. My wife and I stopped in real quick from a recommendation from a lady we had met a few hours prior and wow. My wife got a latte that was fantastic and I got a pour over which not only had great presentation with an info card about the farm it came from but it was also one of the best I have had in some time. We got the avocado toast as well as the breakfast sandwich both of which were also incredible. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

A coworker recommended this coffee shop to me. It didn't disappoint. Their mac nut latte was delicious, sweet, just the way I like it. It even had grinded up mac nuts that you could taste in it. Just be careful because I mini choked on one! We tried their cinnamon roll $7 and avocado toast, which I believe was $15-$17. All in all, our two mac nut lattes plus the food cost close to $50. Gratuity is already included, 18%. Which I love that framework of tipping. Met the owner who was very personable. Want to come back to try more of their pastries and bread. read more

Welcoming cafe with amazing food and exceptional coffee. The friendly community buzz is palpable and with just a few visits they know your name and usual breakfast order. The ambiance is warm and they often have local live music performances and special events! Try the mushroom or avocado toast, the eggs benny, or the breakfast hash and be sure to add one of their perfectly poached eggs and the delicious crispy bacon. So delightful we came every day, sometimes even twice! Wish it were my local!! read more

Beware and read the fine print at the bottom of their menu. They charge everyone an 18% tip when you order. Somehow, this shows that they offer a "livable wage" to their employees. Ummm... no you don't if you force every customer to pay a tip whether it is deserved or not. The customer is making up for your lower wage. Tips are meant as an appreciation for good service. read more

I loooooove collab cafe! Their cookies, coffee, and food is a must try. I love their coconut del leche coffee with oat milk. Love the ambiance and the inside of their cafe however seating is very limited but there is seating outside. Once you order, find a seat and grab your number, they will serve you . Check them out on the weekend, Live music on Sundays! read more

Thankful to have this much needed addition to the Kapaa area. A collaboration between a local bakery, coffee roaster, and creamery the menu is focused and creative, relying on locally sourced ingredients. I tried the mushroom tartine with sautéed lions mane from Wailua, herb cheese and a soft poached egg. The presentation and taste were beautiful and balanced. Being able to add an egg to your toast is a novelty on this island. The house-made chili crunch and hibiscus jam are reasons enough for a visit. read more

Waited 25 minutes to get my food, got the wrong order. I have a gluten allergy and they gave me regular sourdough, found out after I took a bite of my sandwich. They refunded the sandwich, and apologized but after waiting nearly 30 minutes it definitely didn't make up for wasting my time. read more

My breakfast was delicious. Fresh and flavorful. I got the macadamia pesto toast with a poached egg. Lovely service

My go to for coffee and good food. Fresh baked bread in house, coffee roasted in house, live music and extended menus on the weekend, I'm in love read more

BEST cappuccino with homemade macadamia nut milk!!! The loose leaf Oolong tea was one of the most flavorful we've ever had. Homemade bread used in the avocado toast. Very healthy, nutritious, and kept us full and energized during our mini hike until lunch. Service super awesome! Shoutout to Ben and Jade for their extra help making our first morning special in Kauai. Seating is a little limited but every time we went there was plenty of space. They have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I got the lychewood bacon sammy and it was so good! The egg was perfectly cooked. The bacon had a Smokey flavor to it but not overwhelming. Lastly, the service was very good! The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. They care about what they serve here. read more

A nice selection of fresh baked breads , cookies and cupcakes , hot and cold coffees and teas & homemade ice cream & sorbets! Unique concoctions sourcing fresh local ingredients. My fav is currently the mushroom toast but the huevos rancheros and any of the salads also hit the spot for me. Nice people, cute place. They do run out of items on the menu very frequently ( like eggs, mushrooms, bacon, lettuce) so always have a second & third choice when waiting in line to place your order. There's usually some music at the outside tables on Sundays between 10am & noon and there is ample parking. read more

Cool brunch spot collaboration of coffee food and art. Get a loaf of bread too. Indulge in the sweets. Pumpkin cinnamon roll...Mmmm

Tasty, Decadent, AND NO LINE Thank you so the DE-LICIOUS BREAKFAST. Everything eatery in K-town often has at least a 30minute wait. Collab cafe had me sipping on a hot latte in less than 5 minutes and got me my yummy breakfast in under 10. read more

Found by accident this morning, and will never miss again! All items locally produced by this collaboration (get it, COLLAB). Grow and roast and brew their own coffee. Fantastic BLT. with homemade bread and grown and cured bacon!!! Yum yum. Took some beans to go in my suitcase too! read more

Everything here is truly delicious! Even more, you can feel great about the quality of the ingredients and the mission of the owners, each with their own specialities and contributions to the island. So many talents under one roof! read more

Rude service for the high price! Service charge was outrageous! Some DEI B.S. brought over from Portland Or. Plate size and eatability was a joke. More about a look than a pleasant plate to eat. Bread for an avocado toast was an inch thick and NOT toasted. Avocado was actually guac. My first time there I only got a coffee and it took 20 min to get it. I had to ask for cream and sugar because there was NOT a coffee station. They think that the counter help is going to prepare your coffee like you would want it, then if you need to make it drinkable to your liking they and ask for C and S they get rude. I have worked as a Baker, a chef, and many times as a manager or consultant, this place has about a year, year and a half before the money runs out. And good riddens. Kauai doesn't need this mainland Portland Or. Marxism! SAVE YOUR MONEY! read more

This establishment automatically adds a service charge to your bill without any notice. You order and you get charged extra. So if you're quick to add a tip, you have now paid an extra 40+%. As the owner you have the right to set whatever policy you want. As a customer I'm not going to go back to a place which forces me to give a hidden 18% "service charge' for the service of taking an order at the counter and bringing the food out to me. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Super cute vibe & I love all the collaborations with local purveyors & artists. My Hamakua Macadamia Nut Latte was out of this world! They also had a sample of Hola Aloha's Rye Taro Sourdough which was so good I bought a loaf to take home. Also got a great print & some stickers from Schorr Design. Wish I could go back tomorrow before my flight out but they don't open until 8. Look for this place behind the McDonald's it is so worth it if you like good coffee! read more

This review is for cleanliness. Please, your employees should know health code rules. I was waiting for the bathroom to open and out comes an employee with his apron and towel (rag) hanging out of the apron. That is against health code to wear your apron to the bathroom. Please teach/tell employees because apparently it's not common sense?! I walked out of the restroom to see the employee now wiping counters with said towel (rag). ‍ read more
