I've already been to Kalia Cafe twice on this Maui trip, which probably says enough…read more The first time we ordered online for breakfast. I got the smoked salmon bagel and my boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich, and we both really enjoyed them! We also split the bubble waffle. We ended up eating it cold, but I'd definitely recommend eating it fresh/hot. The real star of the show was the Maui Melt panini I got when I came back a second time. LOVED IT. Easily my favorite thing I've tried here so far. I also got one of their specialty lattes with cold foam and asked for it less sweet. It was delicious! The barista was also super sweet and friendly. I sat inside at one of the corner tables and there was an outlet right next to me to plug in my laptop, plus WiFi, which was really nice since I wanted to get some work done. They also have outdoor seating if you'd rather enjoy the weather. Cute spot, great food and coffee, friendly service, and a good place to hang out or work for a bit. Definitely coming back!

However, their main selling point are the cinnamon rolls. We shared one cinnamon roll ($7.15) which was huge! It's definitely shareable unless you have a big sweet tooth. We also got the cream cheese frosting ($0.85) which we drizzled on top. I recommend going early because they sell out because they're made fresh.

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!

The staff was super friendly and walked us through all the treats on display.

We also loved the Lilikoi Sweet Bun, filled with a bright passion‑fruit cream. So good. The Pina Colada Sweet Bun had great flavor, though it was a bit on the dry side. There are plenty of other options, and we'd definitely stop by again next time we're in Maui.

It tastes exactly what it sounds like. They used to give the mustard spread, but now they charge for it. Either way, we are still coming back because of how fluffy and flakey the croissant is. You have to try it. We've tried a few other pastries and they were decent.

First time at Kraken Coffee and probably my last... given the plethora of options around Maui…read more The evening of August 26th, the barista had one of the worst attitudes that I've experienced in a customer-facing setting. Zero aloha spirit - not even a single ounce. She acted like it was a huge inconvenience to her that she actually had to do work and make a few drinks. Per other family members - their drinks were nothing special or memorable. I had to give my coffee (I think it was the Haleakalatte) to my brother since I'm lactose intolerant. Felt that in the moment it really wasn't worth it to speak up and change up a drink and endure bad vibes plus a death stare sitting in the drive thru.

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.
