For food, we tried the empanadas which I loved. The mushroom was a favorite and the beef empanadas reminded me of a philly cheese steak empanada which was so good! Side note, best to come early as you can as they will run out of some of their favorite pastries midday.

I've tried a lot of pastries, but this is officially my favorite croissant spot. George surprised…read moreme with breakfast in bed this morning from Momona and I'm always blown away. We had the Nutella and the Lilikoi, and they are absolute units--massive, beautiful and perfectly executed. The pastry is light and incredibly fluffy, but stays dense and decadent because they don't skimp on the filling (it's actually in the center, not just a garnish on top!). The Lilikoi was a total standout--bright, fresh, and perfectly tart. I found myself breaking off the flaky layers just to dip them into that golden center. If they sold it in jars, I'd be the first in line. If you're looking for the best bakery on the island, this is it! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

I Loved the fact that it was a drive up/drive through. Didn't take my husband and I long to figure out what we wanted. I got the iced Mocha Wao and my husband got the Pina Colatte.

On a recent visit to Maui, I knew I wanted coffee and hearty food and this place popped up as…read morerecommended. Without the internet or a recommendation, I don't know how anyone would find this spot. It's in a little commercial area and is tiny inside. They have maybe six tables of various sizes and a bar along the windows. It's literally a mom-and-pop place, just an auntie and uncle running it, her in the front, and him cooking in the back. They have a fun eclectic collection of collections including money and map pins from around the world. She was super friendly in the front, sharing about all the things she's collected. Their menu is simple, pretty much eggs and meat. Everything is cooked to order and simply delicious. Coffee is a blend including locally sourced beans. Prices are reasonable but I wouldn't say cheap. It also seemed popular for large to go orders. It's worth checking out.

Food has always been delicious to me and it makes me so happy that there is another place that I enjoy. If you're on Maui, definitely give them a try! The 2 things I love to get are their Protein Focaccia Sandwich and their Savory Toast with yummy sauce. 5 stars from me! :-)

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!

I've followed them on Instagram for years and they always post their Mo Joe Monday Drink Specials which tend to be $4-5 & on Thursday's, they also have a Special Drink promotion too for the same price.

Crushed Ice and that perfect amount of tartness make it so refreshing and who can beat a $4 Large Drink on Maui?! I think they charged me $3 today! I'll take it lol!

Great matcha taste with a hint of banana and a little nuttiness that balanced everything out really well. The only thing I didn't see was a cold foam option, which would've taken it to the next level for me. But overall, definitely worth stopping by.
