    Large Iced Banana MacNut Latte!
    Annie W.

    Great little coffee shop across from the beach and park in Kihei! It was decently busy and there was one girl working the counter and making drinks, she took each order and then made the drinks. I was debating between the coconut macnut latte and banana mocha and she said the banana macnut latte was her favorite. Tried it out, and it did not disappoint! 10/10 reccomend!

    Guava danish! Flaky, buttery, and filled with tropical sweetness!

    Lava Java is truly a coffee gem! Located in Kihei, Mauí. They serve up some of the best locally sourced coffee beans, offering high quality drinks (hot, iced or frozen), pastries, danishes and bagels on the island. Known for roasting their own premium, 100% Maui-grown and Colombian coffees on-site! Now that's next level! We stopped here every morning before heading out to explore the island. And it did not disappoint! The vibe was lively and the staff were friendly and attentive! Love the way they engage their customers in conversation while they wait for their order to be served! The staff truly makes the coffee shop feel like a "home away from home". The caramel macnut mocha breve was fire!!! And the guava danish was flaky, buttery, and filled with tropical sweetness! Definitely stop by when visiting Mauí, it's a must!

    Stopped in for a quick coffee. The reviews didn't disappoint. Our drink was delicious! This was a really cute little coffee shop with lots to look at while you wait for your drink. There is indoor and outdoor seating! Service was good- the barista was nice and very fast!

    frozen matcha with two shots of

    coffee is so good, their ESPRESSO shots omg. If you like espresso and also sweet things, add a couple shots to their frozen matcha and it'll be the best thing you had in a while. Interior is amazing and beautiful and has lots of card games. Also the barista is so sweet and serves samples out too!

    Max!

    A year late posting but this is a very chill coffee shop. Owner was very friendly and we met the sweetest puppy dog Max. Visiting from Cali, coffee and ambiance 10/10. Would visit again whenever I come back.

    The best customer service and delicious coffee! My boyfriend and I enjoyed our visit to Lava Java in Kihei. We walked over as the cafe was close to our hotel; however, I noticed parking spots right out front. Lava Java is the neatest cafe I've visited on-island. Quirky, fun and cool! Love the tshirts designed by one of the baristas, who is not only talented but genuine and kind as well! Please tip your baristas! I liked the strong espresso taste of my 20 oz iced Mac latte (4 shots in a 20 oz). Though, I'd argue my boyfriend's dirty chai was superior to my order. We also bought two tshirts, made of the comfiest tshirt material! Highly recommend Lava Java for your caffeine needs! They have coffee and Red Bull concoctions as well!

    Scott is such a cool owner and the coffee is the bonus!!! The frozen mocha is the Bomb. Enjoy the second location after church!!!

    Was there just for the 100% maui coffee beans. I didn't catch the barista name but he's super nice. I was there asking some questions at around 8 and there were't a lot of people, and then I came back close to 8:30, there were a really long line of people. Recommend to go early to avoid the crowd! I got coffee from some place else, but would totally come back for coffee if I can!

    Cute coffee shop across the street from the ocean with a seating area for reading, or jammin on the guitars. Scott and the staff are great!

It's all outdoor dining, but all covered. We sat at a counter facing the street which was good for people watching. I did a BYO omelet with mushrooms, onions and Portuguese sausage. Came with roasted potatoes. Great portion size and tasted great. Hubby went with the bacon lovers breakfast: 2 eggs, 6 pieces of bacon, and toast. He ordered his eggs over medium and they were a little under. But he still ate them. Yummy selection of coffee drinks. And their were some really tasty looking pastries at the check-out counter. Plenty of chickens and roosters hanging around but they didn't bother us once.

Their menu has a fantastic range, offering everything from different varieties of coffee to light bites and big, hearty breakfasts. I absolutely loved the healthy options they offered, though I do wish they had some sugar-free options available. The system here is simple: you head inside to place your order, and then you find an open table. Within about 20 minutes, the staff will call your name and bring your food out fresh and piping hot. When you finish eating, it can be a bit confusing to know where to take your plate. I asked the staff and they said to just leave it on the table. While I am not accustomed to leaving dirty dishes behind, the staff is very prompt and efficient at clearing and cleaning up. Great spot overall!

    Being from California, I'm definitely spoiled when it comes to matcha and coffee shops. Maui is a…read moremuch smaller, less urbanized island, so after a few days I was honestly starting to miss the endless coffee options back home. Early Bird completely scratched that itch though. Early Bird could absolutely compete with some of my favorite spots in California. Matcha Ube -- 5/5 The matcha was strong and actually tasted like matcha instead of disappearing behind milk and sugar. The ube foam complemented it perfectly, adding a creamy sweetness without overpowering the earthy matcha flavor. Such a good combination and easily one of my favorite drinks I had on the island. It's also easy to pair with a stop at the Cinnamon Roll Place, so you can basically hit two birds with one stone and make a little coffee + pastry run out of it. I went around noon on a Thursday and there was no line at all, which apparently can be hit or miss since other reviewers mention it getting pretty busy. Definitely one of the coffee spots I'd come back to whenever I'm in Maui.

Vietnamese coffee is one of their more popular drinks here but they also have teas and lattes in various flavors. The Vietnamese coffee ($6.50) was strong but not bitter. The white chocolate hazelnut latte ($8) was not too sweet. The salted coffee ($7.50) was good and the banana bread matcha was not too banana-y but just enough. There are a couple tables and benches for seating but not like a traditional shop. The staff were also very friendly.
