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! read more

We tried their Mocha Slushie which was fantastic. Their coffee is great and the service was also great. We visited the area mainly to shop at the nearby market place. Glad we stopped by this coffee place and tried their Slushie. The ambiance is good with a Hawaiian vibe. Overall a nice little coffee shop with good coffee and souvenirs. read more

Wonderful coffee with a great local feel! Service was consistently excellent! Will be back once we're on Maui again!

We were vacationing in Kikei for a week and we started every morning here. The espresso is excellent and strong. The passion fruit pastry was divine. We sat and relaxed as we planned our day. One afternoon we played scrabble waiting for the rain to pass over. The barista also sold very nice handmade jewelry and I bought a necklace. Highly recommend. read more

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!

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! read more

Very friendly barista who helped us navigate south Maui a bit on our first day of our vacation. Nice quiet interior with what I'd characterize as "relaxed library" decor, plus a bench with seats looking out to the busy road, with the beach across the street. Lattes were good, although not to the level of two other coffee shops were found during our stay. Coffee beans and other paraphernalia available. read more

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! read more

Fire lavender honey latte. Great little place to hang out at and walk around after. Also have some cool shirts there! Nice staff.

Some of the friendliest people we met on Maui work at Lava Java! We stopped by on Thanksgiving morning and were so thankful we did (pun intended). The Americano with coconut was off the chain delicious, as was the pastry with guava. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by! read more

Coffee is AMAZING!!!! Truly so smooth and tastes amazing !!!! Special Shoutout to the Macadamia Nut Latte!! Cute and cozy not much food options but the coffee is top notch!! Also the barista is soooo sweet! Went back everyday while in Maui read more

I really did not like the coconut mac iced latte that I got, it was EXTREMELY sweet. I honestly couldn't even taste the coffee, it just tasted like straight up syrup. Based on other reviews, I believe they probably have good coffee and my experience was just a one off. The coffee beans are super fragrant and I am sure it tastes good when made properly, but unfortunately I wouldn't know. read more

cute coffee shop with excellent coffee. the wait was pretty long as there was only one person running the show however she was kind and worked as fast as she could. I odrdered one of the signature breves with mac nut,carmel and mocha( I opted to leave the mocha out) and thank goodness becuase it was the perfect level of sweet for my liking with out the mocha. read more

Love local coffee, and this place is local. Cool, funky vibe inside. They offer more than just coffee. There was only one person working the whole place at 7am! Lines and wait was long, but wanted to shop local. Hope they're hiring more help. read more

We were in Maui Monday-Saturday and came to Lava Java 4 of those days! If our flight wasn't so early on Saturday I definitely would've gone one more time. Loved the atmosphere and the baristas were all so friendly. The ham & cheese was good and for the drinks we loved the caramel & macnut breve & coconut macnut latte. Been craving both ever since we came back home. read more

Stumbled upon this place while looking for coffee during our morning walk. This is such a unique coffee shop in Kihei. They also sell a lot of cute merchandise and their own coffee if you would like to buy it as souvenirs for family and friends. Service was friendly and quick. I got my usual chai latte. Not too sweet or bland. We only stay for a little bit and sat by the windows. Quick easy fix for coffee if you're staying in Kihei. read more

Finding afternoon coffee in Kihei was tricky, thankfully Lava Java was still open and serving coffee around 3:30. The barista was super friendly and she was nice to chat with while making coffee drinks. The shop is really cool, lots of vintage coffee makers and grinders. I really love how they donate sales of their mochas to the humane society, just a really nice feel good shop. Coffee was really tasty, I had espresso over ice and it was smooth and not bitter. My family enjoyed their afternoon coffees too. If you want a coffee after 2pm, this is a great friendly shop with good coffee. read more

Came here for macadamia nut latte hot coffee and cold coffee twice in two days and also got bagels. The second time we also got fragrant dried hibiscus local tea and also checked out the local shell jewelry by Maegan Grimes and ended up getting a handful of rings, chains and earrings made from seashells. Go to this without fail! read more

Great little local coffee shop right on South Kihei Road. They open from 7a go 7p, which is nice and early for this vacation morning riser! They have all the classic espresso drinks and drip coffee and some blended drinks, too. They even have decaf espresso, which I appreciate since I am trying to watch my caffeine intake. I ordered a medium iced americano half caff with sugar-free vanilla syrup and creamer. It hits the spot. Batista was friendly and chatty, and service was quick as I was probably the first customer of the day. Sit outside on their patio and watch the South Maui day go by! read more

This was a daily stop for my wife & I during our stay on Maui. Such friendly staff and a relaxing vibe inside! There's some guitars to play if you feel so inclined, and one day there was even a couple dogs hanging out inside. And the coffee is absolutely delicious. We bought a couple bags for our rental, but still had to pop in each day for a nice fresh coffee! Definitely make this your coffee stop when you're on Maui!!! read more
