    Caramel Macchiato

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

    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

    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!

    Mediocre at best and way overpriced. Go to Coffees of Hawaii for coffee or next door for grindz.

The boba was fresh, warm and chewy. The cookie butter on the sides was sweet. The crumble on top was amazing! Didn't like the foam, but that's just personal preference. Good location, cool chickens, lots of drink variety. Really good place!

The kid got a brown sugar boba milk (20oz) and I got a Thai tea (16oz). All drinks come with boba. We requested 50% sweetness for both. Coming from Honolulu where we're spoilt for choice with a variety of bubble teas from and/or inspired by Taiwan, I was a little underwhelmed. IMO, the boba was unflavored and a touch mushy but the kid says his were sweet and chewy (?!) so he theorized my tea was sweet to begin with. On the other hand, he says the brown sugar syrup is not as intense as the ones he's had before. My Thai tea tasted Thai tea-ish. On hindsight I probably should have ordered the classic or Jasmine milk tea. (Also the Thai food truck next door offers Thai tea... ) Service was friendly and competent though. The young man rattled off their bestseller (avocado ice-blended), explained the difference between brown sugar milk tea and lava tea (lava tea is tea based), and what Milo dinosaur is. (I'm familiar with Milo dinosaur in Southeast Asia but am curious if it's the same here; sounds like it is). It's in a cute little compound with a few other "food trucks" and tented eating areas and a DJ? Parking is plentiful since it's basically at the edge of Maui Mall. We got there at around 3pm on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was relatively quiet. 3.5 stars for me.
