Stopped by for some mid-day caffeine and to my surprise they had something that I never knew I needed in my life - a macadamia nut latte with macadamia nut milk! It was super tasty - just the perfect amount of sweetness. I don't like overly sweet drinks but this was perfect. So many different flavors to choose from! Really you can get anything that you want. They even sell jewelry made locally. I ended up buying some for my nieces and they loved them. The puka shells are from Kauai! Definitely check this place out when you can! You won't be disappointed!

I was confused as to why Yelp was recommending a place I had already reviewed... but I guess…read moreSunrise Coffee & Sunrise Donuts are separate entities? The place I went to was outside, on the side of the road, not inside a structure, so I guess I posted in the wrong place. Anyway, this was my experience, & it was really disappointing... & I had no time to say anything about it in person, because I was on a time limit & busy running errands that day. Here's the thing... I'd been following them on IG for AWHILE, so the interest was built up enough to want to give them a try, & because I was headed that direction anyway, I figured, "why not?"... However, I don't know if the girl (the light skinned brunette with the big smile that's in a lot of their IG content) was just having a bad day & ready to leave work or what - it was dead when I got there, except for the small family at the table - but this was one of the WORST smoothies I've ever had! Consistency & flavor wise... like when you expect something, because it's in the name & you don't get that at all? Really weird. I don't make a habit of just leaving negative reviews, but my reviews generally ARE very thorough & well rounded - but it doesn't necessarily make me look forward to any future quality from them, if this is what I got from this place; a super watery "smoothie" that didn't taste like strawberry AT. ALL. Considering it's got that pink color, you would expect a certain flavor, right? NOPE... & I literally sat in my car for a minute before driving off, taking a couple sips, just to make SURE I was getting the TASTE right. All I could come to conclusions about flavor-wise, was what tasted strongly of vanilla protein powder - that was the prominent flavor ie obvious "top note" at least - & nut milk... & I've had enough drinks & SMOOTHIES with vanilla protein powder, to know the flavor is consistent among most protein powder brands. Not even a HINT of strawberry flavor. Strange. Bummer. They were already out of donuts before 10AM, so I can't even counter this with, "well, at least the donuts were awesome"... I came for one thing initially - donuts - & what I DID end up getting, didn't even make the mark. Not sure I will be back, but ladies, for future reference; a SMOOTHIE should be a THICK consistency, NOT runny, like water. I'm guessing there was more ice to product ratio, thus the COLD LIQUID DRINK that I got & what I paid for it, was just NOT it.

All the cold-foam matchas are excellent. The avocado toast is excellent! The people are very nice and quick. The coffee's are really good too. The only negative I can give this place is that since it is popular, lots of people know about it and it can get busy... but still TOTALLY WORTH IT! Every morning we get up, go get a matcha or coffee and sit on the beach to read. What a perfect way to start each day of a vacation!

Arrived at this place on an early Friday morning to grab some coffee. Street parking was relatively…read moreeasy since we got a spot right in front. Immediately entering the store we were greeted by the cashier (which I'm presuming is the owner) welcoming us in. The overall feel and vibe of the shop was clean and accommodating for people to sit and relax. I ordered the caramel haze with oat milk which totalled around $9. The tasted really sweet and the texture was perfect. Generally with oat milk drinks it can be sometimes powdery but I believe the ice cream helped make drink overall creamy. If you're visiting Kauai and have a few minutes for some coffee after arriving, this is a perfect first coffee place to check out!

Coffee was smoothe and really refreshing to drink. We also got the truffle egg croissant which I highly highly recommend. It's so good.
