    Aloha Latte
    Leland S.

    I needed my morning fix and lo and behold, here I am. AMBIANCE: Parking: It's downtown of Molokai so there is plenty of parking however since it's small there's a little hustle and bustle here with locals and tourists. Seating: There is no inside seating due to COVID-19 but there's outdoor seating shaded with umbrellas. Feels: Downtown Molokai is a small-time feel so don't expect anything too flashy. It has all your simple needs from a bakery, grocery store, gas station, and such. The spot itself is pretty neat. I enjoyed the Island music they were playing. FOOD: Aloha Latte (Recommend) There subtle mix of chocolate, Hawaiian coffee beans, espresso, and macadamia nuts. A refreshing delight to give you a good kick in the morning. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and professional. Can't complain here! TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! I dig the simple local flavors, hints of creativity, reasonable prices, and service. For those in need of a coffee and more. This a great spot to check out in Molokai. TIPS: * Check out their seasonal specials

    Caramel Macchiato

    Good options, healthy smoothies and espresso. Quality of service varies depending on the employee working.

    I ended up getting a Americano. Perfect, as it hit da spot, but small kinda pricey at $5.26 for a 12 oz. cup.

    I was working on Molokai the other day, and being that I had to get up pretty early to catch the 1st flight out (I got up at 4:00 AM), by the time it was in the afternoon, I started to drag. What do you do? But of course you look for a place where you can get a good jolt of coffee! Let's see now.........where's the nearest - Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Island Vintage Coffee, or Honolulu Coffee Company? Whoops! I forgot I was on a remote island! Lol! No worries gang, because I found a little gem of a coffee shop here on the friendly isle........... it called the - "Hula Bean Cafe". Located in Kaunakakai town, you can find this little cafe just across the street from Misaki's Supermarket, on Mohala Street. Unfortunately during the Covid-19 pandemic, I couldn't physically go inside of the Hula Bean Cafe to look around, & lounge. Just for now, Hula Bean Cafe is only open for "take out". Besides offering great drinks here, Hula Bean Cafe also serves up a few food items like - breakfast sandwiches, gourmet sandwiches, paninis, desserts, muffins, scones, acai bowls, & pretzels. As for me, I was just looking for a strong cup of coffee, and upon looking over their coffee drinks, I decided to get a 12 oz. Americano drink. What can I say about my Americano? It was the perfect drink to give me a jolt of energy when I needed it the most!!! I drank it black, no cream...........it was very strong, so strong that I felt my chest sprouting hairs! Buwahahahahaha! Well maybe not! Lol! So glad Molokai has a locally owned coffee shop where you can get a good cup of Joe! Next time I come here early in the morning............I'm heading straight to the Hula Bean Cafe!

    Choc Mac nut frappe

    Best coffee and scones! Amazing, friendly service! So far I've had the choc mac nut frappe, the mocha frappe, and the new pumpkin spice latte- all so good! Thank you!

The food and drinks are also so obviously fresh and well presented it just sets the tone for a nice relaxing break.

This charming little café has such a relaxed, local feel. It's tucked upstairs above what seems to be a coffee roasting area, which adds to its cozy, tucked-away vibe. The coffee was delicious- fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want before heading out on an adventure. What really makes this spot stand out, though, is the view. You get a beautiful oceanfront backdrop while you sip your drink, making it a perfect place to slow down for a bit. It's also super convenient, located right off the main road, so it's an easy and worthwhile stop. Overall, it's a cute and scenic coffee shop that's perfect for a quick break; highly recommend if you're in the area.

We were in Hawaii for 9 days and had acai bowls at Island Vintage Coffee, and the Four Seasons Ko Olina, and the bowl at The Break was by far our favorite. The granola in the bowl is the star--sweet and very crunchy, lots of finely chopped nuts. I wish I got the recipe. On a whim, we got it with a scoop of peanut butter and it was a total game changer. Now, we will always order acai bowls with peanut butter, as it pairs so well with the fruit and granola. In addition to the acai bowl, the spam musubi was another favorite. If you come early in the morning (I believe before 8) there's also a complimentary coffee and tea stand. For dinner, we ordered several dishes and shared. A standout was the poke bowl, which came with a lot of greens. Texturally, it was a great dish. Everyone left full and happy. And, the staff were so friendly too. Eunice was very helpful in the mornings. Lastly, by Four Seasons standards, the food was "reasonably" priced. For example, the acai bowl here was almost half the cost of the bowl at Ko Olina.

You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and I'd happily order one again. The coffee was okay, but the espresso tasted like it may not have been pulled correctly, which made it a little disappointing. The atmosphere is inviting, and the seating area is relaxing--a nice place to sit and unwind for a while. The service was okay too. It wasn't the warm, bubbly coffee shop experience you sometimes get, but it wasn't unfriendly either. The biggest downside was the price. Everything was noticeably expensive, and while the açaí bowl was good, I don't think the overall experience justified what we paid. Between the high prices and the average coffee, it's hard to say it was worth the cost. Overall, it's a pleasant spot with a relaxing atmosphere and fresh food, but the value for the money keeps it at 3 out of 5 stars for me.
