This was our first coffee stop while being in Kauai! I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for but ended up ordering the Salty Wahine. It took a little bit to get our drinks, but there was only one person working and there were others waiting for their drinks as well. We weren't in a hurry so we relaxed at the picnic tables while our drinks came out. My drink was delicious and everything I wanted! The coffee truck is located in an area where there's a few food trucks and picnic tables for people to eat at. Definitely a great stop looking to get their morning started with a caffeine kick!
First timer at this coffee truck at it was really good! Ordered some bagels and a few lattes and it was delicious. Service was good and the place was cute and had some tables to sit at. There are some other trucks in that area that serve lunch and dinner I think it was. It's right by the beach so you can also enjoy your coffee with a view!
This is the best coffee I found on the island. We tried several places and this is the only one we returned to. We tried the ube sweet latte, hola honey latte, dakine cold brew and the Mac nut cold brew. The drinks are on the sweeter side, after the first time I got the ube latte half sweet. It was still very sweet. None of the other drinks are as sweet, but definitely on the sweeter side. The drinks are very unique and have a lot of love put into their crafting. The owner is very friendly. We will return.
Found a new favorite coffee shop. I finally got to try this spot. Whenever I wanted to stop and try it, it was closed. The entire menu looks delicious and I cannot wait to try each drink and determine which ones are my top favorites. For the first time I tried an Iced Ube Cream coffee with lavender. He put in the right amount of lavender so it didn't take over all the other flavors but gave it a nice subtle hint of floral. The prices are reasonable and my drink was made pretty quickly. I definitely will be coming back here for sure.
I love this quaint little coffee truck for an afternoon caffeine boost. I order the cold brew with Mac nut syrup and it is perfect! There are plenty of options for both espresso/non espresso drinks. Service is always friendly. There are plenty of outdoor seats to enjoy your iced coffee with the palm trees under the blue sky.
The best! I came for a trip and went on a Saturday morning food was delicious ice coffee was amazing! I definitely recommend this spot and hope to be back again, service was great.
We love to try different coffee spots anywhere we go. Believe us when we say this was the BEST coffee spot on Kauai. The service was awesome and she gave us great recommendations on which coffee we might like better. I tried the Ube Sweet Cream and added coconut and my husband got the Holey Honey Girl made with local honey. Both were sooo good you couldn't go wrong with either. We tried all the popular spots people like to go to in Kauai (Java Kai, Wishing Well, Jammin Banana, & Sunrise Coffee) nothing came close to how good this one was! I wish we found this spot sooner and we'll definitely make this our last stop before leaving the island. We found it by accident but luckily turned out to be the perfect spot located next to great food trucks so you can enjoy food, coffee, and grab a souvenir all in one spot!
I was recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We got the ube sweet cream and it was amazing. Perfect amount of espresso and ube. The employees were also really nice. Highly recommend stopping by!
Unique coffee menu - Fast serve - Scenic spot Came here on a whim on our sunrise walk. Not disappointed one bit. Coffee menu has the basics and it has some unique options. Got an americano and a house wife, tasty and well brewed.
Garden Island Coffee quickly became part of my morning routine while I was in Kauai. What initially drew me to this spot was that they offered an Uber Sweet Cream latte that included Ube drizzle and Ube flavored whip. The staff is amazing, even taking our order after she had closed up shop for the day. Keep in mind that they are only open till noon so you have to make your way here before your daily adventures. I'm looking forward to our next visit.
I order the Holy Honey Girl. The honey wow! Delicious! It was a good strong delicious coffee to wake me up. Chill place with benches next to Tonys catch and the ocean is the back yard. PERFECT !
Coffee was 10/10!!!! We tried a whole bunch of places during our stay and this was the only one we came back to. Food options were great too and the service was awesome! We got the Salty Wahine and Ube sweet cream and they were BOMB but also priced really fairly, honestly cheaper than chain coffee companies and quality was way better.

Wonderful coffee- I had the bananas foster iced latte with banana whip cream. And it wasn't too sweet! I just wish he was open over the weekend because I only got to go once. read more

After years of disappointment with most coffee shops on the island--many feeling like glorified, caffeinated tourist traps who care more about quantity than quality--I was ready to give up on finding a decent cup of coffee. But today, I decided to try one last spot, and I'm so glad I did! I ordered a dark chocolate coconut milk latte. The barista, who I believe was the owner, was incredibly helpful and patient as I decided on my order. He also offered a selection of flavored or flavorless CBD options for drink, which sounded delicious if that's your preference (I definitely added some to my coffee on this beautiful Saturday, why not?!) As someone born and raised here, this is one of only two places on the island I would recommend for coffee. You won't be disappointed! It's also located right next to the bike path so it's the perfect place to grab a drink and go for a nice walk/bike ride/ swim along the Kealia coastline! read more

Thanks so much!
This is a really fun spot to grab some coffee/tea in the morning. They have a bunch of cool speciality drinks with interesting names like the real housewife and the e-bomb. They also have a bunch of syrups and milk alternatives available to customize your drink. The employee working on the truck was very warm and walked us through the menu offerings. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture photos of everything we ordered, but in terms of food, we tried the yolo bites, which were granola balls with various fruits and nuts. They were a good snack to eat on the go. My friend also tried a carrot muffin, which she very much enjoyed. All the coffee and tea options were of high quality. My recommendation would be to stop here in the morning and enjoy a light breakfast at the nearby beach! read more

Matt runs this awesome pit stop on Kauai. You might be heading up to the north side or stopping in for some tacos but don't miss out on this awesome truck for a tea or coffee. We tried a cold brew tea and a "Honey Girl" coffee. Both were delicious and unlike what you'll find at a chain coffee shop. If you're passing by make sure to stop and give Matt some love! #Mahalo read more

As a resident on island, I absolutely love supporting local especially if they're consistently sweet, kind, and thoughtful! Erika and her husband are so awesome and I highly recommend seeing them and supporting their coffee truck! They work hard to serve you as soon as possible but give them grace when there is a handful of people. They're trying their best. I will order on the daily an iced real housewife with oat milk! They have yummy cookies and try their ham cheese croissant! Located near the beach and you can take a walk in the back for some ocean views! Really calming during the morning. Thank you garden island coffee!! read more

Such a great little coffee truck! Very few places here have matcha and this place has it, and it's super good! My husband got a regular coffee with milk and said it's the best coffee he's had here all week. I got the caprese breakfast sandwich which was delicious and my husband got da club which he also loved. Highly recommend checking this spot out. read more

Best cold brew on the island! Great food and prices also. Our weekly go to for cold brew and breakfast. Also killer organic muffins and smoothie of the day. Yelp sometimes says they are closed (cause yelp has issues) but they are Tues - Sat about 7 to 2 or 3 ish. Island time! read more
