    Mocha Wao
    Robin N.

    The drinks here are great! The service is so nice, helpful, and quick. I was surprised because I went knowing this was a food truck but they had a drive through which was super convenient. They also had outdoor seating which would have been great if I wanted to sit.

    Short stay in Maui, and Kraken coffee was the best I found! I got the white chocolate macadamia nut latte and it was chefs kiss. They are located in a cute little round about of food trucks, and theirs is a drive thru which I love for the convenience. The staff was friendly both times we stopped, and recommended the "most popular" drink.

    Mocha Wao and Iced Cold Brew Coffee
    Kristina P.

    Kraken Coffee is a food truck trailor near some other food trucks. It's cute because you can either walk up or drive up! My husband got the cold brew and I got the MochaWao. Both were really good! I like that the MochaWao wasn't too sweet-- I was even able to drink it after the ice melted. The staff were really friendly and service was pretty quick!

    MoChaWao and Haleakalatte

    Kraken Coffee is located in a back lot of Azeka Shopping Center. To get here, you will need to drive into the plaza and head towards the back. There will be a path on gravel roads to the food truck area with parking. The various food trucks surround the dining area where tables and covers are set up. If you prefer to stay in your car, there is also a drive-thru. The baristas were very nice and courteous. We ordered the MoChaWao (white chocolate macadamia nut latte) and the Haleakalatte (rich caramel latte). Both drinks were very tasty but if we had to choose one to order again, it would definitely be the MoChaWao!

    had a great experience with all the locations of Kraken that I visited during my stay! The staff was very kind and had great suggestions. They have coffee ice (ice made of coffee) which is great, i loved iced coffee but hate when the ice waters it down! I tried the following: Kihei kicker- 7/10- it was creamy but the irish cream they used wasn't the greatest. Haleakalatte- 10/10 -lite ice, less sweet - great flavor profile , nice and creamy. dirty karen chai 5/10- they use a premade chai drink- was not a fan .

    Kombucha and Pina Colada Smoothie
    Rose L.

    Kraken Coffee sits in a charming little food truck hub. It was blazing hot, so my partner and I grabbed a medium piña colada smoothie and a locally sourced strawberry kombucha. The piña colada was a hit -- creamy, cold, and tasty. The strawberry kombucha tasted exactly like you'd hope, bright and strawberry-forward with that pleasant kombucha tang. Refreshing, a little bitter, and it wasn't super burpy like some big-name brands back home, which I appreciated. Prices landed around $12 to $14 for the two drinks, which felt fair for Maui. Overall, a nice cool-down stop and I'd go back. Staff were sweet!

    This drive thru makes an amazing peppermint mocha!!!!! Enjoyed it at the beach nearby and I recommend you try them out! Will be back!!!

    Mocha Wao

    The friendly cashier recommended the Mocha Wao. I have to say Kraken Coffee drinks definitely tastes like crack. Absolutely delicious and prices are reasonable. I also love the convenience of their drive through.

    Iced Americano

    Lovely spot in Kihei to get a quick caffeine fix. Got a simple iced Americano that was strong and refreshing. Barista was also very lovely and hospitable.

    I had to try this coffee since it was highly rated. I will say, it was the best I tried while on the island. It's a stationary mobile cart near several other good trucks. They have one side designated for drive-through and the other side for walk ups. I ended up getting a caramel iced latte large. The drink stayed consistent throughout my sips. This could be due to the iced coffee ice cubes. The service was OK, didn't really stand out. Not much communication so service was just OK.

    I got the mochawaow and it was really good. It's supposed to be a white chocolate macadamia nut latte and although I wish it was a bit sweeter overall it was still really good and hit the spot in the morning. Next time I think I'll add an extra pump of white chocolate just to give it a little more kick and then they'll be absolutely perfect. I respect their system where they had one of their teammates, come out and take the order of the people behind the car at the window to speed up throughput.

    Macadamia, coconut cold foam cold brew- 100/10. They double cupped my friend's tea which was an important fine detail as the cup was hot. Anticipatory service at it's finest. Many local / unique flavors. We love the drive through option also!!! Don't forget to add to their therapy (tip) jar (we all need therapy...)

    Food Truck

    Located in the Maui Food Trucks of Kihei, we just finished snorkeling and kayaking so we were ready for some good caffeine. Loved my sweet foam cold because it wasn't bitter and was very tasty coffee! The sweet foam wasn't really sweet as expected. If you like less coffee tasting the Blackberry seasonal drink right now was super delicious with a hint of blackberry and it's just a perfect combination with coffee! Cute benches and tables in the area with very casual vibes. They were also super nice and coffees came out fast! Highly recommend!

    Hands down the best coffee I had in Maui! The beans are truly something else, rich, smooth, and…read morefull of flavor. You can tell they put real care into what they serve, and it shows in every sip. We ordered two lattes, one with brown sugar and one with vanilla, and both were amazing. The flavors were balanced, not overly sweet, and complemented the quality of the espresso perfectly. We also shared a cheese danish that my husband absolutely loved. He said it was one of the best he has ever had, and I have to agree -- buttery, flaky, and so fresh. The shop itself has such a fun, cozy vibe. There's even a swing inside, which adds such a unique and playful touch. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab a coffee and go. Service was excellent. The barista was super friendly and even made the cutest latte art, which totally made my day. I ordered a 12 oz and loved that it came in a mug, while my husband got a 16 oz to-go. My only wish is that they would offer mugs for the larger sizes too. It would be a nice way to cut down on paper and plastic and make the experience even better. Overall, Akamai Coffee is a gem. Between the amazing drinks, delicious pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're in Maui, definitely make time to stop by. You won't regret it!

Don't forget they have a seasonal menu on their windows, separate from their regular menu. Staff are friendly and patient. I came twice during our visit because it was convenient especially with the baby in the car. They also have various sizes, not just one size which was nice to control the intake of caffeine for the day. I tried the Road to Hana which was good, on the sweeter side. Then, on the second visit, the server told me that I can get the hot chocolate seasonal flavor as a coffee and make it less sweet - i did that. Both very yummy drinks. On the sweeter side. I did not feel the caffeine as much as I did with Early Bird. I love that they offer drive-thru, though, which was super clutch and the reason for our multiple visits. I tried to go to their Kihei Plaza location, but couldn't figure out how to get to the drive-thru, haha! It's like through a parking lot but there are too many buildings around that I just didn't know where to enter.

While I have been to a couple of other Kraken locations before, including the day before, this one was different as it was an actual storefront in a strip mall instead of a food truck. They also sell shave ice here. With it being a storefront, they had a decent amount of seating along with a clear ordering area. For my coffee on this morning I went with a large Surf's Up cold brew, which the menu described as coconut mac nut with a sweet foam topper. Since I had run 17 miles earlier in the day, I was also hungry and their jalapeño cheddar bagel caught my eye, so I ordered one of those as well. It did not take long before I had both my drink and food and was headed back to my car. As soon as I got in, I dug in. When I first opened the bagel it looked a little overdone, but there was no bitterness from the darker parts and it actually ended up being cooked perfectly. As for the coffee, I could not get enough of it. The coconut mac nut cold brew was strong with a bit of earthiness from the mac nut and some sweetness from the coconut. The sweet foam was the real standout though as I loved both the texture and the added sweetness. Paired with the bold coffee, it worked really well and I finished it quickly. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my bagel and coffee were good and I would also be interested in trying their shave ice next time.

It's a cute little stand just past the lobby on the right. easy to access whether you're staying at the resort or just stopping by. The menu is simple and straightforward, offering classic matcha drinks along with a few signature options. We tried the Honey Lavender and the Honey Cinnamon, and both were really good. The Honey Lavender stood out--it had a sweet, floral flavor that blended with the matcha in a way that oddly reminded me of Fruity Pebbles (in a good way!). The Honey Cinnamon was tasty too, though the cinnamon was a bit overpowering and took over most of the drink's flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations, which made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend anyone staying at the resort to give it a try and locals should stop by too if you're in the area and craving a solid matcha.

It helps to order ahead but you will need to order the day before - they don't do same day orders.

We also tried their mango bread which was moist and fruity (no chunks of mango in it though) and the lime pie which was lovely! However, I think the big surprise for me was that the malasadas are smaller than I expected. The first time I had a malasada was at Leonard's in Oahu which are like...the size of your hand.
