Worth a visit, for breakfast, dinner, coffee, dinner, drinks and/or live music. I went twice because they are walking distance to the Kaanapali Shores hotel so I didn't have to drive, meaning I could enjoy my drink(s). The interior is eclectic. So much artwork, graffiti, decorations, toys, stuff and more to look at. Finding the bathrooms was like a secret adventure. A young man with a guitar was a great entertainer. Another night he was accompanied with a violinist that gave an amazing touch to their songs. Lots of parking. Friendly bartender, manager and server lady. A comfortable and welcoming restaurant-coffee shop-bar. read more

Super cool spot! The inside vibe is really chill. They have stuff hanging from the ceiling and on the walls which adds to their laid back atmosphere, with island vibes. There is bar seating, tables and booths. You can stop in for a to-go beverage at the coffee counter or be seated for a meal. They have breakfast specials before 8am. Full menu is available with Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner hours. Live music after 7pm! Our waiter was very nice and helpful. We had a basic breakfast but I'll say the potatoes were delicious! Will definitely be back while I'm here. read more

This place is crazy! Staff is amazing, but this place is crazy! Just look around and you will get the vibe...too much to see and comment on...so much stuff. Food was good, one the better loco moco's I have eaten, but I just can't get over all the visuals...EVERYWHERE! Would I go back, possibly...just isn't my vibe, but I get it and understand why some people could really enjoy this place. read more

IMHO This was our first meal in Maui, having always wanted to visit Java Jazz, but never had the time until this trip! Java Jazz is whimsical and eclectic, to say the least. Just walk into this establishment, and you'll understand what I'm saying. Live music was playing and we had our choice of tables. We weren't really hungry but ordered a coconut shrimp appetizer and a cocktail and beer. Shrimp was good but not great. I wasn't sure if the shrimp was fully cooked, but I ate it anyway. Music was fantastic! read more

I wanted another breakfast place to go to that we haven't been to. I searched the reviews and picked this place. Not sure I did a good job. The place is up North from my resort and only a 5 minute ride, so it was close by. The reviews were just ok but I tried it. We got there and found a parking spot close to the restaurant. When we went it it was pretty packed. all tourist . I looked around but didn't see any seats. My wife and I went back to the front and a waiter said it would be a second, then directed us to a table all the way to the back of the place. Luckily the guy behind the bar said he got us. Otherwise I didn't think we would have gotten any service for a while. The place was packed full of weird stuff for decorations. The walls were written on by previous customers. It was a sight to see. Not sure it helped in know if the food would be good our not. It look Peruvian maybe. The guy looked possibly that or middle eastern? not sure. He brought us some menus and asked if we wanted coffee. I told him just water. I decided to go with eggs benedict to be safe. The wife decided on an omelet. The service was really slow and you could see people were already finished eating and wanted to pay but didn't have their bill. The place was full. We learned later that only two people were working today and the old man apologized for the slow service. My benedict wasn't too bad. The flavor was ok . My wife's omelet was a miss. It was lunch meat and canned pineapple and she said it was horrible. Oh well not a good pick. It seemed like a tourist trap especially the prices were crazy for the low quality food. We have eaten all over the island and had great food at way better prices no need to gouge on prices. We won't be back read more

everything is great here.. the staff, the decor, the food, the drinks, the live music... I could go on and on. But you MUST add a tiramisu to your order. It is truly THE BEST. It is made fresh by Nader himself and by far the best tiramisu I've ever tried. read more

Hello Fellow Yelpers We found this place by accident, which was great for us. Had dinner , I had the chef salad with a delicious vinaigrette and my sister had shrimp scampi. Both were very tasty. The best part of the night was the awesome waitress Samantha and the live music singer Chris Magee. We found out they also serve breakfast and we can back in the morning for this. We are coming back tonight to hear the live music again. I highly recommend you try this little hole in the wall restaurant/bar quirky place Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Happy Yelping, please follow me for more awesome reviews read more

The decor of this place was unique. It's an old bar with fancy decorations, and dark art stuff. Not sure how to explain it, but some of the things didn't go. The place looked like it needed some care and updates. There were two servers, when we walked in. One told us to wait and the other told us to sit anywhere. We just decided to sit. It took them awhile to come by. But we finally put our order in. I ordered the Hawaiian omelette. It was awful. The omelette was very over cooked and they used thinly, sliced lunch meat for their ham and canned pineapple. There wasn't very much cheese. It didn't taste very good, it was very bad. The only thing I liked on my plate was the toast, and that was mediocre. You would think they would use fresh pineapple, you're in Hawaii! The omelette was overpriced, they charged $22. I compared other cafes and restaurants in the area and the restaurants don't charge as much. I would never come back. This was an awful experience. Service and food were bad. I think they are taking advantage of the tourist in the area. They are charging more than they should for their food. This is unfortunate. read more

The music and service were fine, but I was genuinely surprised by the owner's , Farzad Azad, behavior. During my visit, he initiated a conversation about politics, mentioning he left California because of it, and then continued expressing strong negative opinions about politicians. The tone included visible frustration and inappropriate language, which made the interaction uncomfortable. What could have been a very pleasant experience was overshadowed by this encounter. I hope there's more attention given to maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment for both customers and staff. read more

Wow, the photos do not do justice to this location. The food was amazing with such delicious flavors the chef outdid himself from the French toast to the Web run shadow the ambience is you need at least three days to review all the different spectacular paintings around the restaurant and other a novelty items. The service was wonderful great place to come and visit each time the menu is outstanding. read more

We came at 7pm for a drink and dessert. I found a great spot at the bar to listen to the one man band. He played Billy Joel, Tom Petty, and Grateful Dead. He was pretty good and made this even more festive for a December night. The food is comforting and we went with an amazing bread pudding that was just outstanding. Definitely safe room for it or go straight for drinks and dessert. The bartender is a friendly local. There's a cute black and white tuxedo cat who deserves attention. We will be back again and again. Cheers. read more

Amazing food. Recommended and service. The ambiance was great too. It was a good stop.

We have visited many times on past trips but have found that this time things seem to be lacking! We orders garlic bread to share and it was nothing more than hotdog buns with butter, garlic and some parm shreds on top....total joke! I love the art work in the dining area but feel like the dining room could use a good cleaning. Our bartender was super friendly and energetic. I hope to return in the future to find better quality food and a cleaner dining room. And no the eclectic decor isn't the problem because that's super cool but the dining area needs to be cleaned up a bit read more

Yeah - well, never again... I'm late in writing this review but I walked by this place today & decided to write. We visit Maui every year & after the fires we made an extra effort to patronize local businesses & to tip heavily in an effort to help everyone out as much as we could. During this time we frequented this business every day for our morning specialized coffee's. There was a young girl who helped us several times and that was fine, she was very nice and courteous. However, the owners son also made our coffee's a few times -- not a nice guy. For some reason he seemed to have a problem serving us at all. No words were ever spoken, it was just his obvious attitude. Whenever he prepared the coffees they were not as good. We tried to chalk that up to the fact that coffee's can differ depending on the barista. However, on one morning, (our last visit there), he prepared our specialized coffees & for some unknown reason, literally dumped the espresso coffee grinds into my husband's coffee making it disgusting and undrinkable. No one does that sort of thing on "accident" and if it were to happen on accident I wouldn't expect that coffee to be served to a customer. Our order was to go so we didn't catch it til my husband had a few sips. After this experience we decided we simply would not go there again, ever! In looking over other customer reviews it seems others have mentioned unbecoming behavior & dissatisfaction at this establishment. But then again... other reviewers seem to rave about the place. I suppose all reviews are based on personal experiences so it just depends on how things went on a particular day. Poor customer service on several days and what we experienced on our last visit there reflects my reason for a one star review. read more

I don't know who convinced these people that any of their food is worth anything over 15 dollars. Their wings are soggy and pretty much inedible. The fish and chips is huge disappointment, 20 dollars for 3 bits of fish and a mediocre amount of fries???? Other than that the service is okay, and the place looks nice. But to be completely honest you are better off spending your money somewhere else. read more

2 stars only for the bartender, he was an absolute star. Besides him the service was homophobic, the music was eh and the selection sucked

I stumbled upon this little cafe/bar on my first full day in Maui and I really enjoyed the whole experience. As soon as I came in, I was welcomed by the staff and took a spot at the bar. The ambience was very relaxing, smooth jazz playing the entire time. I ordered the late bird special and it was great. A simple breakfast at a good price considering the cost of food on the island. My server was absolutely amazing. Attentive, friendly, and made me feel very welcome as a solo diner/traveler. I like it here and definitely not in a huge hurry to take off. I could hang out at this place for awhile. Rated 4 stars just because they charged 2 bucks for a side of hot sauce. Otherwise it was great. read more

Absolutely disgusting customer service. I have never been treated so disrespectfully in my life. I walked over to the self-serve condiment station because there were no employees around to help. I grabbed a few condiments and started walking away. Out of nowhere, a white male (sitting outside) wasn't sure if he was even an employee aggressively approached me and accused me of not paying for them. I told him they were on a self-serve table and asked why I would think I needed to pay for something sitting out for customers, especially when no one was around to assist me. Instead of explaining the situation professionally, he told me to "shut up," called me a thief, and then had the nerve to take a picture of me. Taking a customer's photo without permission after falsely accusing them is completely unprofessional, and unacceptable. HE IS A CREEPY AND A WEIRDO! JUST SIT OUT SIDE WITH HIS STUPID DOG! If this is how this business treats paying customers, management should be embarrassed. This person was rude, RACISTS, arrogant bully on a power trip, and clearly has no idea how to speak to people. Being publicly accused, insulted, and photographed over a few condiments was completely unnecessary. read more

My wife and I are staying in the area and looking for a place to have lunch. We decided on Java Jazz. We walked into a decorated wall to wall bar/ restaurant that was pretty cool looking. The bartender waited on us immediately and he was very funny and very attentive. My wife decided on the taco salad which she said was delicious. I ordered a cheeseburger which was very very tasty. While it was a quick meal and drink, the service and the food were great. Thanks Java Jazz. read more

Family came here for dinner and it was such a treat. The place is unique and surprising because it is in a strip mall. The live music last night was wonderful. A guy Played Acoustic guitar all of our favorite songs from the late 80's and 90's. He was a wonderful entertainer and it was just right not too loud and not too soft. Our server was great he is from Argentina and was great took great care of us. My husband ordered the Chinese Chicken salad the dressing was good with a bit of spice. One of my girls ordered the burger and fries she said it was delicious and it was large. She eventually had to eat it with a fork and knife. My other daughter and I shared the New York stripe steak, veggies and rice pilaf. It was really good. I ordered a Mai Tai too which tasted good. For sure will be back.. read more

Asked the owner about the cats name and he went off about how he hates when people say the restaurant dirty because of the cat he then said he would beat them up like a democrat and how he hates dems and they're woke and how they spread hate and division. Besides his little rant the experience was good food and coffee were good didn't seem dirty. Would recommend read more

Yes! Loved this place. It's one of those kitschy filled with random items. Art and signed dollar bills, old statues, dolls and things you see down the shore. Service was quick and attentive. The server is a kind soul that wants you to enjoy. Good hot coffee with free refills. The coffee has a boob on the emblem. You know it will be good. I had the French toast and Portuguese sausage. I liked the sausage but my wife felt it was too greasy to enjoy. I get it. I love it though! Good amount of bacon and well sized pancake. It soaked up the syrup like it is supposed to without getting soggy. Friendly, fast, flavorful and local. We would absolutely return to this little spot. And they have live music at night. Kudos! read more

A hole in the wall nice surprise when nearby places were too full. We all enjoyed our food, especially quesadillas. A local artist was very much on display.

This is a dive... cafe? It's a bit dark and dingy with a lot of kitsch and knickknacks that make it look unique and fun. The staff was very welcoming but, unfortunately, the food was substandard. My soft drink was very flat and 1/3 of the noodles in my fettuccine alfredo were hard as a rock and turned upward. The chicken was over cooked and borderline graying. My husband's BLT was served on moldy bread. We let the server know, we returned it, and it and it was taken off the check. Finally, the 3pc band was sorely underrehearsed. They were all talented but it was as if they had never rehearsed together. It was an odd evening, to say the least, and just generally disappointing since we stay locally every year. Things that can all be improved upon, of course. read more

Quickly made this our go to spot for breakfast, dinner and drinks during our Maui stay. The food tasted amazing and fresh. No complaints with anything I ordered. Decent size portions too. The service was impeccable, everyone from the staff and the locals made you feel like family. In the morning as soon as you walk in, Nader is ready to pour you a cup of coffee and at night, Sidney is behind the bar making the best Margarita. And as for the decor, I mean just look at the pictures. Any direction you look you'll find something interesting. Bring a dollar or a sharpie so you could add your name and a message to their wall or a sculpture. There's also live music every night!! It's not so much jazz music but it's easy listening. I highly recommend checking this venue out if in Maui read more

This was definitely a mixed bag. The food was so-so. I had a pasta dish which was a tad undercooked (think crunchy, not al dente). Service was spot on, It was a fascinating place. Honestly I could look at the walls, ceilings for days. However, overall it wasn't clean, and that's a big one for me. There aren't a lot of decent options in the area so we may return. read more

Little place in a strip mall. $27 for 3 x pretty small shave ice (which were done well and very good) and $2 for basically a spoon of ice cream. Staff was friendly, so yeah, YMMV. read more

The decor is flipping amazing!! I'm not a local but if I was, I'd be a regular at this place. I ordered the French toast breakfast with a SF vanilla latte and let me tell you; that french toast was one of the best I've ever had, it wasn't too sweet and it was the perfect portion size for me. Definitely recommend! I am so coming back here when I visit again and I'll recommend this place for anyone looking for an awesome hole in the wall! Loved it! read more
