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

The absolute BEST coffee in Maui! My wife and I LOVE Da Mean Bean. The owner Keala is truly the embodiment of aloha, and serves every drink with a smile. We got the Hana Highway Latte hot or iced every day we were in Hana. Better than any coffee we got in Wailea or Paia. Do yourself a favor and hit Da Mean Bean if you want truly local, delicious coffee served with aloha! 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

The lady working here (maybe the owner?) was lovely and made us some great drinks--she didn't even turn the credit card processing tablet over to me at the end--I had to ask her to give it to me so I could tip her--she didn't want me to! I loved the Hana Highway drink, best coffee I had in Hana. They weren't open on Sunday or else I would've gotten another one! Like with everything in Hana, you'll want to check hours on Yelp (and with tourism being so low right now, there's still not a guarantee that things will be open). read more
