I've been a long-time customer of Kauai Coffee Roasters, and I can honestly say they are something…read morespecial. Not only is the quality of their coffee exceptional -- rich, smooth, and consistently delicious -- but the way they treat their customers is truly next level. Recently, a package of my coffee beans was stolen from my apartment complex. I reached out, and they immediately replaced it, no hassle, with super fast delivery. The replacement arrived incredibly quickly, and inside was a handwritten note and a small gift. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. They genuinely make you feel like a valued customer, not just an order number. Their beans are a big part of our daily routine, and they make our mornings feel special every single day. You can feel the care and pride they put into what they do -- from the sourcing, to the roasting, to the customer experience. If you're looking for outstanding coffee from a company with heart, integrity, and incredible service, I couldn't recommend them more. I'm grateful to support a business like this.

Thank you so much for the best meal we have had on the island!

We had meant to stop in for a quick coffee before our reservations at Hanapepe Cafe--pretty much the only restaurant in town--and ended up staying an hour to listen to a really impressive folk duo on stage. Our fellow audience members seemed to be mostly local--a dancing haole couple who seemed to be transported straight from 1967 Monterey and two pre-teen girls who asked the singers to sing "that one song you sang last time." Cute. A great latte even without the music.

My wife and I specifically came to the area to sample their beers and try their food, and found the beer to good/great while the food was OK. It opens at 11 on weekdays, and we arrived soon after, so found street parking easily. We were some of the first customers, and our choice of inside seating. The building is two stories, with the upstairs being used as an arcade (classic 80's pinball machines). The large bar is the center of the downstairs, and they sell shop memorabilia as well. Tried a 4 sampler flight (no discount for flight, just sum of the 5 oz beers chosen). Their most popular is the Lilikoi, which we had just tried at a restaurant a couple days before, so we skipped that. Instead we got: Chupa lager (Mexican cerveza which was refreshing), Wheat (which was my least favorite...kinda flat/limp with little flavor), Alaka'I Stout (my favorite, creamy and almost chocolatey), and a Sour with calamansi (which my wife liked the best, I thought it tasted like a shandy). As for food, we got two entrees. My wife got the Kalua Pork Sandwich ($22): pretty much all pulled pork sandwiches are called Kalua in Hawaii, no matter how it is made. That being said, this version was OK with the fries being very good (similar to Five Guys fries, fried in peanut oil maybe). I had my favorite: Loco Moco ($22) which was well prepared, and the white rice was good. But the beef patty was mediocre (tasted like a standard preformed food service patty from frozen...it wouldn't have stood out in a burger). The one egg was cooked well and I really liked the homemade gravy. There is a 3% credit card surcharge, and Toast is the payment processor.
