Great coffee with many options and such a little cute shop. The pastries look so so delicious, especially the almond croissants. There's many yummy looking smoothies to chose from too. read more

Great service!! Great Chai Latte!! Wonderful atmosphere!! Wish I had one close to my home. You walk into this cute little retro java cafe and are instantly greeted with a smile and a welcoming. Then you see that this is not just some ordinary Starbucks, but a place to become entranced in a world of bistro splendor. Their menu is not too big but not too small and it fits the vibe. They have very delightfully looking deserts that instantly call your attention. I didn't have any desserts but would love to in the future. I did however have an Iced Chai Latte and an Artichoke Panini. The Iced Chai Latte was wonderful. The important thing with an Iced Chai Latte is to make it strong enough to pull the flavor through the entire time it takes you to drink it (because ice melts), but yet not so overpowering as to startle you upon first sip. Very much so achieved here. The Panini was nice, a little over priced for what it was, but nice. It had the right amount of tang from the cheese while still allowing the artichokes to come through. I would have appreciated a higher quality bread, but was in a nice enough mood to give a 5 STAR Review!!!! read more

Just tried this while visiting Maui. I really liked the banana cooler. Very light banana flavor and the coffee flavor was incredible, even as a decaf. Highly recommended! read more

Latte: 2 stars Overall: 3 stars for service/environment The latte was alright. Nothing to write home about nor recommend to any fellow coffee snobs. Made with local Maui beans, the flavor of the espresso was, how should I put it, as flavorful as Starbucks lattes. It just doesn't stand out and leaves an after-taste a girl would not like to taste after I kissed her. Nor I. I will say the latte did not taste milky/water-down like a Starbucks latte. So there's a positive note. However, it was hotter than my current sunburn, leaving it almost undrinkable, and the foam was airy instead of the classic smooth, creamy layer it should be. I will however mention the Barista was new, but I sadly this is how I must base it on. Environment: Greeted warmly by the barista as I entered this cafe and ordered a latte. The cafe has a wide variety of foods and drinks. Basically they have everything you would expect in a cafe. The service was good but it was not busy at the time. Overall a nice environment. read more

I. Absolutely. LOVE this place. My fiancée and I were trying to find a good coffee place that wasn't a chain and this was the most relaxed place with a wonderful ambiance. They have delicious pastries and sandwiches. Being gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant they also have options for me. I DEFINITELY recommend this place! read more

A lovely cafe to get work done, meet up with a friend, or enjoy some of the delicious menu items. you can get a coffee and bagel sandwich for 11.99, a deal like that is hard to find anywhere on maui. Great tunes, great service, and great vibes. read more

Stopped here on a recent visit to Maui. They have a very nice selection of locally made coffee, all different strengths, boldness and whole bean or ground. They have very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and even though some of their coffee, per pound, can be pricey, it is definitely authentic Hawaiian coffee! Not the junk from the grocery stores and ABC stores! read more

We'll order a medium size cappuccino by the time that whip cream disintegrated I had less than a small cuppa coffee that is just wrong a medium cup is a medium cup of coffee, then the whip cream or whatever you put on top not 3/4 of a cup is whip cream, and the rest is coffee for the price I paid I should've gone to McDonald's. read more

Quite possibly the WORST place in Kihei. Glacial, deadpan service, cold food and inferior cleanliness. Stay far, far away. read more

BEWARE: The reviews posted here may be misleading. A disclaimer needs to be added to this cafe's yelp because they are giving free coffee or pastries for five-star reviews. Also the prices on here and their website are completely wrong. At the restaurant, the menu is priced $3-5 higher than shown on their website and here on yelp. Too many red flags for this place but still wanted to give it a shot. My experience: I ordered two drinks and four food items at 6:30 in the morning. I waited 20 minutes patiently and decided to check up on my food. I asked the guy and he said they're working on it, 5 minutes. I waited another 10 minutes and decided that was enough asked for a refund. I asked the lady at the cash register why it's taking so long she said she didn't know. As I was about to get my refund processed, my food came out. I decided to just take the food instead of the refund only because I waited a long time already and my wife is pregnant and hungry. The thing that bothered me the most was them having zero remorse or sympathy for making me wait 30 minutes at an empty restaurant for food. The food was alright nothing special and definitely not worth the $80 spent for four food items and two drinks. This yelp is definitely misleading esp with their offer for free pastries for 5-star reviews. read more

My husband and I walk pass this little cute coffee shop. And my husband like special coffee(coffee) ,and go into to buy some bean to take home to California. The employee is friendly, I think one guy is the owner, he teach my husband some special technique for brewing good coffee.

I came here this morning to get an iced coffee. I could have gone to Starbucks to get what I usually get, Iced Soy Coconut Latte; but I figured I would support local business. The baristas here are friendly. They did in fact have the coconut flavor to make my drink. When they first handed me my drink, it was so dark. Sure enough, it was so bitter and strong as though there was hardly any soy milk. I couldn't even taste the coconut flavor. I did bring it to their attention, and they were so kind about it and made me another one. Second time, much better! But still the coconut flavor was faint. I told them it tasted much better, but asked if they could just add a little more coconut flavor, to which they did, no problem! :) There are also a lot of pastry choices, and I saw some panini sandwich options. read more

Deleicious coffee and pastries. Lines can be long at times, but that's likely due to the delicious food and beautiful outdoor lanai seating!

Cute place, easy to find and lots of options!

Great spot! Have gf options and pretty good bagels and lox (coming from a New Yorker)

When placing my order, I pulled out a card to pay and the cashier tapped her fingernails on a plastic sign that said 'Cash Only'. My takeout order was received quickly by a smiling server. When I arrived home, I discovered that the cashier had gotten the order incorrect. The breakfast sandwich was fine. Freshly made and fairly tasty. A little more attention and energy by the cashier would have helped. In her defense, it a rare rainy and gloomy day here in Maui. read more

Nice place, cool indoor space with ac to work for a bit! ordered a chai latte that tasted like honey water and the staff was great and changed it for us! happy to visit places that care for their costumers and reputation! read more

Delicious coffee, great food and a calming atmosphere.

Great coffee shop with a friendly staff. We come here every time we come to Maui! Will not disappoint you!

GREAT PLACE! New owners! Place has been totally remodeled. Friendly staff. Fresh and healthy food, good music...cute ambience. I liked the wide selection of cold pressed juices, chia pudding, fruit cups they have in the fridge. I got a double shot latte with a salmon toast and "Beethoven"( cold pressed juice) I definitely recommend the place. read more

Well-run Cafe in Kihei, glad they got it together. We bought our drinks and enjoyed them. Seems like everyone's working hard and they should get raises read more

Coffee is great! So is the food- and they have a ton of delicious options for breakfast. We got the peanut butter toast and one of the paninis. Unfortunately service is pretty meh and they are so slow! We ordered avocado toast and it took them awhile to come tell me that they didn't have ripe avocado (so they obviously hadn't started making it yet). So we switched to two peanut butter toasts and it took them probably 20 minutes to throw peanut butter, bananas, and honey on some toast. When we checked in on it (genuinely thinking they may have forgotten about it since the order had to be switched up), we got quite a bit of attitude... and our toast seconds later ‍ so assuming it was just sitting there. Overall- great food and drinks, bummer deal on the employees. read more

I've been here a few times while visiting Maui and it's been great! The food and drinks are a bit overpriced, however they are delicious. The staff has been kind every time I've been here, and I would overall definitely recommend this place. read more

Loooove the pastries. And this the best place on the island to get a cortado. Relaxed vibe with laid back staff.

Ambiance is lovely. First time here and the service was friendly but slow. There are no prices listed anywhere for the pastries (or labels). I was very surprised that an almond croissant was $8 which I asked about and was told it's because of the quality ingredients. Ok. Online the prices have not been updated so you can compare and see how much the prices have gone up. read more

Great offerings and wonderful espresso drinks! The staff was really nice and patient with the high maintenance drink orders: We had two really great custom cappuccinos and breakfast sandwiches here. We especially enjoyed the atmosphere here, it was relaxing and had a local vibe. Highly recommend if in the Kihei area. read more

This is a great local spot for fresh beans, pour overs and a large variety of great danish!

This place is busy and a delay is to be expected. These jerks got bent when i checked on a two sandwich order after 25 minutes. Island time is understood, but these people are rude and your money is better spent elsewhere. There are several cafes within a block. Go to those. read more

I know what a hard time these shops are having with staff, but on this day they seemed to have suitable help. The food was pretty bare and costly to spend $53 on a salmon bagel, waffles with fruit, 1 coffee, and two fresh juices. Salmon was three small pieces taken from the Costco salmon pack, very very thin layer of cream cheese. The waffle was cold and dry. I had high hopes from the bill that the food was going to be worth it. Staff was rude upon our order, food took a while to get, waited for the rest of our order, just to have to walk up and find that we were not charged for the other half of our order and spent another 30 minutes for the rest of it. Disappointed and dissatisfied. read more

Java cafe is refreshing and beautiful. The staff are attentive and helpful. They have a large menu and there are piles of incredible looking pastries on display to choose from. Along with baked goods they have an impressive smoothie selection that you'll want to try all kinds. read more

If you have 35 minutes to wait for a basic turkey wrap go ahead. About 4 minutes after ordering and paying I was told they're out of tomatoes, okay, cool no problem. Then 25 minutes later I asked where the food was because I had to leave. With 4 workers(that I saw) working and only a few costumers it should not take 35 minutes total for anyone to make this let alone get it wrong. The wraps are supposed to come with a salad. I wasn't very hungry and asked for no salad as I didn't want to waste it. Instead they put in chips. I tried one, completely stale. They claim there's sliced avocado on it and the avocado that's in it is mashed up and not fresh. Put "avocado spread" on the menu if it's not going to be "sliced avocado". read more
