Oh man, I don't know if I caught them on an "off" day as all these other reviews seem pretty good! I ordered the Hana Highway & my other half got a caramel macchiato. I was excited for the Hana Highway as it had all the things I live for--macnut, coconut & mocha. It was not love at first sip. Something was not right-- it tasted very bitter and too milky, like burnt chocolate milk (if you can imagine that lol). I knew I should have drove up the road to my usual coffee spot when I'm in town. I tried this place out of convenience because we were eating here. We were both dissatisfied with our gross coffees and didn't even want to finish them. It was pretty much a waste of money. At $10 a cup, I definitely expected better. The girl working was very sweet though, so kudos on customer service! read more

Amazing coffee (or kōpe)! Super smooth, 100% Maui coffee. I got the Kūla Lavender latte with oat milk and it was perfectly, slightly sweet with a lovely lavender flavor (made with Kula lavender and honey). I ended up getting 2 in one day! Husband got straight coffee with milk and it was delicious. Coffee was not bitter at all and left no nasty "after coffee" taste on the palate. Kaela was absolutely delightful also!!! Definitely the "Aloha Ambassador" of Hāna (as her friend said!) Also, don't pass up the coconut pineapple bread! Sooooo ono!! Mahalo Keala! read more

I have been on my Honeymoon in Hawaii for 2 weeks now (Oahu for a week and Maui) and this was quite honestly my favorite coffee and breakfast spot. The coffee is Maui grown so full of flavors of Hawaii and then she offers amazing flavors to add in! Way mo'bettah than Starbucks. Breakfast! She offers 2 different breakfast sandwiches. The McMuffin had bacon, ham egg and cheese and truly I could eat it every day. I don't know how to explain it but the muffin part was so soft but toasted perfectly. I enjoyed it so much I forgot to take a pic, but don't worry I will be there tomorrow and will get it when to take a pic! Okay now let's talk about Keala! Her energy is so contagious and positive and reflects "good vibes only" just like her sign. Instantly I wanted to be her best friend and hang out here all day. She apologized to us about charging us lol like no! You provided the best coffee, best food and best experience. Please flood her cute little coffee stand with business it will be your favorite stop! read more

History

Established in 2023.

A family-built lil orange coffee trailer located in the heart of Hana, Maui. Probably the smallest coffee trailer on the island but most definitely the most charming and brightest coffee trailer you’ll ever see. One of the only places you’ll find fresh Maui espresso and, sixty miles away from the nearest Starbucks on Maui, Da Mean Bean. Built in 2022 and opened in June of 2023. Currently brewing and serving 100% Maui Coffee and Espresso through our window for nine months. We source our coffee locally from Maui Coffee Roaster’s. Delish and aromatic blends of Maui, Hawai’i.

It was nice chatting with him a little about the trees, the kind of fruits he has growing, and how he knew we were Filipinxs cos of "the way we take pictures" lol Filipinxs looove their pics⁣.

Yum!⁣ ⁣ Not pictured is the GUAVA BANANA BREAD; which I didn't really taste the guava but the bread was moist and flavorful! Tasted the banana part of it though. Parking is very, very limited. They have a small lot that can probably fit 3 to 4 cars easily. They have tables and benches for you to just sit, relax and enjoy. They offer other goodies, too! I also like how they allow visitors to sign their farm stand. With the amount of names written around, it's hard to believe there's very little reviews here on Yelp! So I hope this review reaches someone to spread the word about Hana Cultural Farmstand! ⁣ Pricing is reasonable. The coconut was $10, better pricing here compared to other farm stands we checked out during our trip. The bread was, I believe, so,where between $6-$8 which is affordable because if you started early like we did, you're going to need some fuel during your trip. A lot of eats along The Road To Hana weren't open around 7-9 AM, so I'm glad this place was. ⁣Until next time! Mahalo for the Aloha! ⁣

Another member of my party ordered the Thin Noodles and another ordered the Coconut Combo Plate. We received our order rather quickly and ate at the picnic tables provided. Honestly, I really didn't know what to expect with the Papaya Salad. It is definitely a meal in itself. I probably won't order that again. There were so many compliments over the noodles, and from someone who hasn't ventured beyond traditional American food, that is impressive! Also, the Coconut Combo Plate was a hit for both those sharing it. They said both the Mahi and Shrimp were VERY good! And who doesn't like to eat out in nature and enjoy the 'wildlife'. We had kittens for entertainment!

Da Mean Bean is a delightful stop for coffee lovers and breakfast seekers alike. The Barista was really sweet, acknowledging and apologizing for the long wait. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed a robust cappuccino, while my lavender coffee with oat milk, ordered half-sweet, was near perfection--though coconut milk would have been an ideal option, which was curiously unavailable. The breakfast burrito was tasty, with a good portion size, making it a satisfying start to the day. Located conveniently in a bustling food truck lot, Da Mean Bean opens early, perfect for those planning a leisurely breakfast before venturing out to explore Hana town. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, blending the charm of a small-town café with the casual vibe of a food truck setting. While the limited milk choices were a slight downside, the quality of the food and coffee more than made up for it. A great spot to fuel up and soak in the Hana spirit! read more

She was so very sweet, describing the flavors of the coffee. My family friend is careful about her sugar and she was so good with her. What we had was so delicious. I got the Americano with oat milk and hazelnut sweetener. They even have Haupia. Every taste of our coffee made our trip in Makawao of her favorites. I brought my cousin Tony and his friend Shannon in March, say on the 21st. And I can't remember who helped us but she told us about Peg and knew exactly who I was referring to. Another wonderful experience. They offered me a stamp card this time. Shannon got something iced with the Haupia. Looked delicious and beautiful. Tony got something latte with something vegan and he liked it. I tried the the latte this time with oatmilk, Splenda and cinnamon flavoring. Please check them out! Support local. They deserve so much hype. I thought I got a pic of Shannon's drink but she might have it.

I recently got a Akamai TBA with gluten free bread and it was so good. Gluten free bread has to be practically burnt in order to taste edible and to not fall apart and this was perfectly crunchy and toasted. And a bonus here because gluten free bread is typically half the size of regular bread, but Akamai understands the disparity and gives serves the sandwich with four slices of bread. This was probably my favorite gluten free meal on Maui so far

Chic simple little store with very friendly service, they have a few tables if you want to sit and hang out.

But regardless I enjoyed my drink

The citrus hollandaise complemented all the other flavor elements of the dish perfectly. We shared this dish as we just needed a small lunch before hiking Thompson Road and it was a perfect portion. We came 30 minutes before closing and sat on the patio with beautiful views and enjoyed visits from little birds looking for crumbs. It definitely seems like a popular spot for locals and tourists, for good reason. The Eggs Benedict is only available on Saturday & Sunday so if you're traveling, try to plan to visit on one of those days!

Tell me you don't want me to be here without actually saying, "I don't want you here."…read more We've been coming to Grandmas for over 10 years, and it's always been one of those comfy, cozy places that just feels good. This visit felt really different. Today we brought family visiting from off-island after a walk on Thompson Road. We decided to stay and dine in instead of taking it to go. Looking back... maybe takeout would've been the better option. Ugh. I honestly hate writing this. The only reason I am is because I'm hoping someone from the Grandmas team reads this and actually cares enough to make some changes. If you don't know, you can't grow. Today our experience looked like this: * Watching several people get served after us even though we ordered first. Waiting for almost 30 minutes. * Our order getting mixed up and handed to the wrong person * Confusion about what muffins were available... okay fine, I'll take a blueberry muffin. Then halfway through eating it, I found a hair baked into it * Ordering potatoes without onions because of an allergy, having it made wrong twice, and needing it redone * Noticing the restaurant itself looked like it could use a deep cleaning, including ceiling fans with layers of dust And maybe this was just an off day, but the staff vibe felt... off too. Disconnected. Kind of cliquey. Like everyone seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves than serving guests. The warm, welcoming feeling Grandmas always had just didn't feel like it was there today. As a customer, I honestly felt like I was intruding or inconveniencing the staff just by being there, and that's a really strange feeling in a place we've loved for so long. That's honestly the part that made me the most disappointed. We've loved Grandmas for years, which is why this was tough. After reading several other reviews, it seems others may have had similar experiences too. I really hope things improve and staff morale lifts, because as customers, we feel it. Mahalo for reading. I truly hope this helps and leads to positive changes.

You can enjoy beautiful Maui scenery while relaxing around the farm with chickens roaming around, fluffy rabbits, colorful butterflies, lush gardens and fresh vegetables growing everywhere. It's a peaceful place to find your zen and it's perfect for keeping the kids entertained. The staff always make us feel like we're visiting old friends. Bo at the coffee counter is always friendly, makes a great cup of coffee and is always up for a great conversation. Brittany, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and accommodating and truly makes everyone feel at home. If you're looking for something different than just another beach day, come up here and enjoy the cool Upcountry breeze, beautiful scenery, and peaceful atmosphere. While you're in the area, you can also visit the nearby strawberry farm and goat farm, making it a fun day exploring another side of Maui. Every time we visit Maui, we make it a point to stop here a couple of times. One day we'll make it back for one of their special dinners - we just need to find a babysitter first! Highly recommend Homestead Maui to anyone visiting the island.

I ended up getting the peluhu chicken flat bread which is essentially grilled chicken, bell pepper, mushroom, cilantro and bbq sauce pizza. I got 6 slices and it can be shared between two people if you're not too hungry. Mass produced tasting dough but you're paying for convenience. It had plenty of tasty toppings though. Overall a great grab and go spot if you're staying here.
