    Caramel Macnut with cheese foam
    Grace A.

    It taste good Taking orders just slow But they are fast Its worth the wait I'm gonna keep coming back.

    I stopped by here earlier today for my morning coffee. Whenever I go on vacation I try to hit up a new coffee shop every morning and on this morning I ended up heading over to Early Bird Coffee. This location is a stand in a parking lot right off of South Kihei Road and I had driven by it a couple of times earlier in the trip. True to its name, it is open at 6 AM and when I arrived shortly after opening, I was the only person there. There were two employees working and I ended up ordering a 12 oz ube and coconut latte. My coffee here ended up being pretty good. I got the earthiness from the ube along with some sweetness from the coconut. The creaminess also seemed to come from the coconut. The coffee itself was present as well and had a strong, rich flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I like that Early Bird is open at 6 AM and the coffee I had here was good as well.

    3 WORDS: MUST GO HERE! :) We recently visited Maui for 4 days and visited 3 out of the 4 days (it would've been 4/4 days but they were closed on our last day hehe). Our first experience was so great that all we could talk about was how we're going back again the next day. A little cart off of Kīhei Rd, they made the area welcoming and inviting with a few benches/tables and a little covering. The staff were super friendly and answered all of our questions. They serve coffee, teas, and specialty vietnamese coffee. Their flavor pairings peaked our interest, we've never seen a place with Pandan or Chai Matcha. They were so intriguing it could be either a miss or a hit. We wanted to try them all. They also serve food but we didn't get any. The croffles I saw on Yelp looked amazing but unfortunately they were sold out when we were there. We tried the Chai Matcha, White Chocolate Hazlenut, Black Sesame Coffee, Ube Coffee, and Pandan Coffee. The ube coffee felt a little too light on the ube flavor for me. Our favorites were the Chai Matcha, Black Sesame Coffee and Pandan Coffee. Balanced, flavorful, and ones we will savor in our memory until we can have it again.

    coconut vietnamese coffee
    Grace Y.

    LOVED this place! Really cute coffee truck in Kīhei with wonderful Vietnamese coffee and matcha option. So good we had to come back twice. Recommend getting the coconut coffee (the coconut flavor is in the cream on top) and the matcha chai (surprisingly good combo, especially if you like chai). They hand whisk their matcha!

    have yet to find a good matcha place here in maui. This place is top tier. I can drink this everyday! Excited to come back and try the mango sticky rice

    Early bird coffee is so delicious. I got the americano with coconut foam and my friend got americano with pan-dan foam. Both were so delicious. Bitter at first but flavors blend nicely the more you drink. (I got it two days during my stay because so good.) also tried the Italian panini it was on good sourdough bread and just MWAH. Friendly service and answered questions well. There was a line both times I went because it is so good the people must go

    Coconut ube latte
    Steve C.

    Very good, extremely strong lattes. I had the iced coconut and ube latte. It was delicious. Smooth, strong flavors. The guy warned me it's 4 shots in a 16oz cup. I'd get two shots next time. The 4 shots gave me a wicked headache. My wife got the Saigon and the black sesame (and wanted to try both) and they were both solid. I think I liked the Saigon the most. Service is island paced. The line was pretty long and we waited about 20 minutes. No biggie if you're not in a rush.

    Got the pandan latte and coconut ube latte and both were amazing. My new favorite coffee on island. Service was friendly too! There was a bit of a wait, but totally worth it.

    Pandan Vietnamese coffee
    Rina C.

    I stopped by Early Bird Coffee and loved how many unique coffee options they had. There were so many I wanted to try, but I ended up ordering the pandan coffee and the black sesame white mocha. Both were really good, but if I had to pick a favorite, the pandan coffee definitely stood out to me. I came around 10:00 AM and there were about three people ahead of me. The wait was a little long -- roughly 15-20 minutes before I was able to order and get my drink. It's conveniently located, but it was starting to get pretty hot since there aren't many shaded spots to stand while waiting. I did like the little decor and the mirror where you can take a quick selfie. Other than the wait, I don't really have anything negative to say. I'd definitely come back and try more drinks next time.

    Ube Vietnamese Coffee
    Indi E.

    Showed up about 7:30am, with one customer waiting for her order. Customer service? She was super sweet and friendly! Best ube Vietnamese coffee I've had in a cool minute! I try not to come back twice to the same coffee shop when I travel, but I might have to come back to this one. The "croffle" was good. Good in flavor, I absolutely LOVE ube, although might be better warm. Which would have been an easy fix had I gone back to my Air BnB, but I was headed out for the day. Cute little stand, and I'd overall recommend!

    Ube Vietnamese Coffee

    Early Bird Coffee is a fresh face in Kihei's food trailer scene, and it's already making waves--with good reason. This charming little trailer is quickly building a loyal following thanks to its fun, aesthetic drinks. On my first visit, I had a bit of decision fatigue (everything sounded too good) and ended up ordering the Black Sesame White Chocolate Mocha, one of their signature drinks. While it was good and well-balanced with that nutty sesame, I had immediate drink envy after tasting my other half's Ube Vietnamese Coffee. It stole my heart--thicker and slightly sweet with a deeper, tastier flavor profile that really hits the spot. So, I got that on my following visits and it hasn't disappointed! They also offer a small selection of food, like croffles on a stick (yes, that's a croissant-waffle hybrid, and yes, it's as fun as it sounds) and sourdough paninis that are perfect for a light bite. I'll have to try these in the future! A fair warning though: word is clearly out. The lines can get very long. On one visit, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes. While that might test your patience pre-caffeine, I was honestly happy to see a small business thriving on our island. Hopefully as they grow, they'll find a rhythm that keeps the line moving without losing their charm. Just bring a little patience! All in all, Early Bird Coffee is absolutely worth a visit--whether you're a local or just cruising through Kihei. I just wish they were a bit closer to me, haha.

    Cute coffee truck located in Kihei. A bunch of options to choose from! Very tasty and delicious matcha and coffee! Yet, we still have many more to try! Very friendly staff. Will be back for more.

    Drove by this place a bunch of times before we just got curious enough to try it. It's a little shack off of South Kihei Road typically with a pretty sizable line. We parked in the lot but there was a little street parking available too. We loved the coffee a lot here. We visited two mornings in a row. Got the Pandan, Black Sesame, Ube, and Saigon coffees. Very good, price was decent, and just the sweetness/strength we were looking for. We were also able to get the croffle sticks and they were super good as well. Got the Matcha Buttercream w/Nutella Drizzle and Oreo. Very nice treat but you have to come early. Be patient since there are only two of them in there churning everything out but it is very worth it. They are really nice people and Early Bird is our favorite coffee place in the area!

    If you like custom coffee drinks, the Ube Cocnut latte is the best flavored coffee latte I've ever had. It's a 10 out of 10

    Hands down the best coffee I had in Maui! The beans are truly something else, rich, smooth, and…read morefull of flavor. You can tell they put real care into what they serve, and it shows in every sip. We ordered two lattes, one with brown sugar and one with vanilla, and both were amazing. The flavors were balanced, not overly sweet, and complemented the quality of the espresso perfectly. We also shared a cheese danish that my husband absolutely loved. He said it was one of the best he has ever had, and I have to agree -- buttery, flaky, and so fresh. The shop itself has such a fun, cozy vibe. There's even a swing inside, which adds such a unique and playful touch. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab a coffee and go. Service was excellent. The barista was super friendly and even made the cutest latte art, which totally made my day. I ordered a 12 oz and loved that it came in a mug, while my husband got a 16 oz to-go. My only wish is that they would offer mugs for the larger sizes too. It would be a nice way to cut down on paper and plastic and make the experience even better. Overall, Akamai Coffee is a gem. Between the amazing drinks, delicious pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're in Maui, definitely make time to stop by. You won't regret it!

Don't forget they have a seasonal menu on their windows, separate from their regular menu. Staff are friendly and patient. I came twice during our visit because it was convenient especially with the baby in the car. They also have various sizes, not just one size which was nice to control the intake of caffeine for the day. I tried the Road to Hana which was good, on the sweeter side. Then, on the second visit, the server told me that I can get the hot chocolate seasonal flavor as a coffee and make it less sweet - i did that. Both very yummy drinks. On the sweeter side. I did not feel the caffeine as much as I did with Early Bird. I love that they offer drive-thru, though, which was super clutch and the reason for our multiple visits. I tried to go to their Kihei Plaza location, but couldn't figure out how to get to the drive-thru, haha! It's like through a parking lot but there are too many buildings around that I just didn't know where to enter.

While I have been to a couple of other Kraken locations before, including the day before, this one was different as it was an actual storefront in a strip mall instead of a food truck. They also sell shave ice here. With it being a storefront, they had a decent amount of seating along with a clear ordering area. For my coffee on this morning I went with a large Surf's Up cold brew, which the menu described as coconut mac nut with a sweet foam topper. Since I had run 17 miles earlier in the day, I was also hungry and their jalapeño cheddar bagel caught my eye, so I ordered one of those as well. It did not take long before I had both my drink and food and was headed back to my car. As soon as I got in, I dug in. When I first opened the bagel it looked a little overdone, but there was no bitterness from the darker parts and it actually ended up being cooked perfectly. As for the coffee, I could not get enough of it. The coconut mac nut cold brew was strong with a bit of earthiness from the mac nut and some sweetness from the coconut. The sweet foam was the real standout though as I loved both the texture and the added sweetness. Paired with the bold coffee, it worked really well and I finished it quickly. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my bagel and coffee were good and I would also be interested in trying their shave ice next time.

It helps to order ahead but you will need to order the day before - they don't do same day orders. Also some things you can't order online like their musubis, etc. However you can still get their malasadas and croissants, etc. We tried all their malasadas and our favs were the coconut cream and the lilikoi (passion fruit). We also tried their mango bread which was moist and fruity (no chunks of mango in it though) and the lime pie which was lovely! However, I think the big surprise for me was that the malasadas are smaller than I expected. The first time I had a malasada was at Leonard's in Oahu which are like...the size of your hand. These are more like golf ball sized. They were still excellent but I think that just caught me off guard. But we still enjoyed them!
