    Cutest coffee truck ever! They are right in a parking lot so very easy parking available. I got their matcha latte with soy milk, and it was so good! I usually make my own matcha these days but I was very happy with theirs. Strong matcha taste, no bitterness! Super smooth to drink Will definitely stop by again when I'm in town.

    Great coffee and even better service! The guy behind the counter moved quickly to get a huge line their drinks. Got a quad shot iced americano and it was solid! Very cool vibe here!

    Wouldn't be able to start my day without a matcha or mocha from Maya & Esther ... best on the island !!!

    This place has really good chai -- it's flavorful and tastes homemade, not watered down like some places. I bought my girlfriend and she was super happy with it, which made the visit even better. The vibe is cozy and the staff are nice. Definitely a spot we'd come back to.

    Perfectly situated to Kauai Sushi Station and a Burger truck. Delicious and fresh options. Really flavorful coffee. Love the aesthetic. Service was prompt and done with care. Highly recommend.

    Located on the main road at the north end of Kapa`a town. They serve coffees, scones and bagels. Small sitting area in the front and sheltered seating in the back. Ono no-frills coffee also available.

    Best coffee in Kauai

    Such a cute spot with the kindest staff. Maya is the best! Easy access off the main road and open early for those traveling before the sunrise.

    Mokihana is one of only a few local cafes open at 6. If you want to support the small businesses of Kauai, avoid Starbucks and come to this darling little stand on Kapaa. The coffee is great and the service is friendly!

    My favorite latte I had on the island during my stay. I got an iced latte with the housemade macadamia nut milk and it was delicious with the subtle hints of mac nut. Service is positive and drinks are made to order so may take some time if there is a line but I loved the outdoor patio seating. Taking off a star due to the prices not being listed as you end up paying over $8 for a latte. Definitely worth a try to treat yourself to a quality drink from Mokihana. *UPDATE* Okay wow came back and discovered it's 3.25 for the additional Mac nut milk. Seriously insane soo proceed with caution.

    Passion Bakery Cafe is an absolute must if you're on the hunt for fresh malasadas! We came bright…read moreand early, and it was 100% worth it. We ordered the Lilikoi, Haupia, and Ube malasadas -- and WOW. All of them were so good, but the ube was our favorite! Soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and filled with so much flavor. You can really taste the freshness. The employees were also so sweet and kind, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to feel welcomed, especially early in the morning. Another big plus is the private parking lot with plenty of spaces -- super convenient! There's also lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard surrounded by beautiful plumeria trees (and some friendly chickens walking around), which adds to the whole island charm. Such a delicious and peaceful spot to start your day -- we'd definitely come back again!

    Went to Passion Bakery for breakfast to try their "famous malasadas". Got the guava filled malasada…read moreand also too their Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. Unfortunately being from Oahu with having Leonard's Bakery malasadas, these malasadas were rather mid compared to that. The guava filling was the artificially flavored type. But other than that it was a decent/above average sweet treat. The malasadas itself I'd say was 3 stars. However, the star was the Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. The thing I loved most about it was that the java chips were small enough where it never got stuck in the straw and was evenly consistent with every sip. By far the best java chip mocha frappuccino in my book! I'd come back for this one. It made starbucks seem mid tbh. Service was friendly and efficient. And the ambiance, though quite small it was fresh with the smell of a malasadas bakery :) Plus a few tables and plenty parking outside. Overall I'd give it a 4 stars. Definitely coming back for that java chip frappuccino YUM!!!

The toast selections alone are 5 Star! We enjoyed: -Hawaiian Vanilla Latte - half sweet was the perfect balance -Americano with steamed cream - Kauai Latte-- Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for in a Mac nut syrup but I didn't notice any unique flavors...but it was still delish. But let's talk about the TOAST! They all looked SO GOOD. I narrowed it down to two: the avocado toast deluxe or the eggy toast. The eggy toast is more like an egg salad. Even though I think any time of day is a good time for egg salad, I went with the deluxe because microgreens and pickled red onions have a hold on me. While I've had variations of this toast at home and in my hometown, I've never tried it with chili. My lips were burning a bit, so if you are a sissy with heat, you might want to opt for no or reduced sauce. I left with no regrets...except that I should have come sooner than our last day on Kauai...and I should have grabbed an eggy toast to go!

    Was in the Kauai Area and wanted to try out some baked malasadas, and Kauai Bakery looked to be the…read morebest option nearby that we could try out! We stopped by on a Tuesday around 8:30AM and got our pick of malasadas to try out! Kauai Bakery is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of ample parking, making it very easy to stop by and grab some delicious pastries. Service is like your typical bakery, you pick what you would like and they get it to you so you can stuff your face immediately after purchase. Ambiance is cozy with plenty of pastries to pick from in the large display case. We got 4 flavors of Malasadas for $16, which is $4 per doughnut, which I think is a decent price for the size and heft. The flavors we sampled were Lilikoi, Coconut, and Guava - out of these flavors, the coconut one was my personal favorite! The flavor was exactly what I would want anything coconut cream flavor should taste, creamy texture with a pleasant coconut taste that didn't taste artificial at all. It captured the floral background taste that is missing from a lot of coconut desserts that makes coconut so pleasing to eat! The Lilikoi one was my next favorite, it had a slight tartness and a more subtly pronounced flavor - I think I was looking for something stronger personally. Lastly was the guava one, which actually tasted a bit artificial and didn't have a pronounced flavor at all, which was unfortunate. Despite this critique, I would still glady inhale 2 or 3 of them because the dough was really pillowy and really enjoyable to eat. I think that the pastries here (at least the malasadas) are very solid and priced competitively vs most things here on Kauai. I would totally come back to get several more of the malasadas as well as try the other pastry options on the menu. Stop by and give this bakery a try if you are in the area!

The banana flavor is a syrup and it reminds me of the banana candies. The matcha wasn't too milky. The bagel sandwich lacked flavor for me.

There is plenty of free parking in the area. The lines can get long even at 7 am on the week day.
