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. read more

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. read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but this place earned it. The service was horrible -- the staff acted like I was inconveniencing them just by ordering. I waited over 20 minutes for a simple coffee, and when it finally came out, it tasted burnt and watery at the same time. No apology, no effort to make it right. The vibe was just off from start to finish. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. read more

Such a cute coffee/breakfast place on the island of Kauai. Had a little higher expectations although. Menu is very limited but right to the point. Coffee items, teas, breakfast sandwiches, bagels & limited pastries. Price points are a little high for the quality. Ordered two breakfast sandwiches, iced tea, & a matcha for almost $50. Definitely better places on the island to spend that amount on breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was good, just a bit messy. Matcha was okay, a bit watery. Definitely more of a traditional matcha flavor vs sweet which I enjoyed. Service was friendly and very short wait times. Overall, I would recommend looking somewhere else nearby to enjoy breakfast or a quick coffee stop. read more

The cacao blend was rich and satisfying, and not super sweet at all which I prefer. I also got the garden isle bagel. Hummus and pesto on a bagel?? GAME CHANGER. So delicious!!!

We ordered cold brews with half the amount of vanilla they normally use. The barista said their vanilla is made in house and it definitely tasted like it. I enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. I really wanted to try the Mac nut milk but it's $3.50 to add it to a coffee which seems outrageous to me so I went with oatmilk (extra $1.50). I prefer to stop here for coffee when getting donuts nearby. read more

Super adorable coffee bus on the main road. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to the Hawaiin prices (just visiting), but the coffees were extra pricey! Nearly $20 for 2 dirty chai lattes, but it is good coffee. I prefer a vanilla chai, so this is was a bit bitter and spicy than what I am used to but I still enjoyed the coffee. It was my first time trying macadamia milk and it was not as creamy as oat TBH. The ambiance is very nice here and they offer a few food options as well. read more

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.

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.

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!

We got there around 6:30am and there were many choices of pastries. We chose a few different flavored malasadas and coffee. The malasadas tasted good but I wasn't blown away. I wish they were served warm. Staff are very nice and friendly. Store super clean and cutely decorated.

The selection of treats!

4.5 stars for the banana pudding…read more Came in for some before my flight out of Kauai and it was divine! I LOVED that thick layer of homemade graham cracker in the middle. The pudding was just a tiny bit greasy but the flavor was great and not overly sweet--I still ate the whole cup by myself in one quick sitting, yum! I would have loved more bananas in the pudding, but I did like how they were cut up into small pieces so the focus stayed on the pudding. Service was friendly and they had a whole tray of banana pudding ready to go. Free parking available all around the shopping plaza, conveniently located close to an ABC store and across from the famous Musubi Truck.

I got a banana matcha and a bagel sandwich while my friend got a banana bread and black coffee with coconut syrup. My portion was $21 for the matcha and the sandwich. I thought the matcha was decent! 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. I might just be too used to salt but I did find that the egg portion wasn't super flavorful. I did appreciate that the bagel was quite soft. Overall, it was alright! There is plenty of free parking in the area. The lines can get long even at 7 am on the week day.
