    Mocha and cold brew
    Nicole W.

    Breakfast burritos here are the most affordable on this side of the island, they taste good as well. You can pick the meat; we chose Portuguese sausage (because you are in Hawaii). The salsa was solid; lots of egg in the burritos, it wasn't just filler potatoes. I got the mocha and it was delicious. My husband tried the cold brew and he didn't like it. I tried it as well and it was just okay. I loved that the mocha came in a mason jar and we returned it before we left. This is my second favorite coffee truck on the island. We had better luck with the coffee trucks than the coffee shops. Service was super friendly and helpful.

    This place was so cute. Sadly, I only got to come here once. It's located in the same center as Tiki Tacos. I wanted to try them out after our lunch, but they weren't open. So we stopped by another morning. They offer walk up service or even drive thru. Both are clearly marked with signs in the parking lot. There's seating on the other side of the truck next to the street. I had really wanted to try their golden milk latte since I've sadly been off coffee for a while. I was talking to the gal taking my order about matcha and while they don't have it, she recommended a couple local places that did. She gave me a slight discount on my order for giving her a shaka! The golden milk latte was delicious. I ordered it with coconut milk. I should have asked for a little bit of honey to make it a little sweeter, but otherwise, it was perfect and a delicious start to my day! Definitely recommend trying this place out!

    Needed a coffee, and recognized the name of the truck as we were parking for tiki tacos. Good timing/ location. Got the simple black coffee. Very satisfying Friendly service.

    Hot chocolate - nice and frothy, made with dark chocolate

    Best homemade biscuit and homemade raspberry chile jam. So good! And loved the positive attitude! I devoured it so didn't get a chance to snap a photo.

    Amazing place and taste. I recommend the iced vanilla latte for taste .my daughter got iced mocha cacao was potent needed be sweeter

    Amazing experience at Positive Coffee. Owner is very kind and service was very fast. Family got iced mochas and flat whites and everyone enjoyed their coffee. My iced mocha was not too sweet with natural cacao notes. There is shaded outdoor seating which is not difficult to get. Convenient location, located right off Kuhio Highway, perfect stop if going from one side of the island to another. I highly recommend this spot!

    Cute little coffee truck with such sweet workers! Overnight oats with fresh fruit was amazing! Coffee was good, although I wish I had added another shot so I would have had a better taste of it. Overall, it's a cute little truck with a sit down area and good coffee. We'll have to go again soon!

    Another pre-hike breakfast brought us here, and there are so many good vibes coming out of this truck it's hard not to smile. We had great coffee, a delicious breakfast burrito with chile salsa, and overnight oats with blueberries and banana. And, despite the fact that it's a food truck, they have a "drive thru" area that seemed to be popular with locals, as observed while we were waiting. Oh, and don't forget your Shaka discount. Yes, there is a sign, but you can get a discount just for promoting good vibes.

    We wanted to try a different coffee spot any chance we got and we stopped by this coffee truck to start off the day. I ordered the 48 hour cold brew with coffee ice cubes and oat milk. It was pretty good, not too strong and not too light. The Ube muffin was okay. Great service and good coffee. Highly recommend stopping by here when in Kaapa.

There's even a small merch booth to browse while your food is being made. We waited about 20 minutes, but the staff were incredibly friendly, and it was well worth it. I ordered the Lifeguard Bento, which comes with the OG fried Spam musubi, truffle tater tots, choice of poke (I got spicy mayo), and rice for $20. The fried Spam musubi was so good that I'm not sure I can eat musubi any other way now. I also thought the truffle tater tots were an odd choice to offer at first, but they ended up being some of the best tots I've ever had, and the portion was generous. The spicy mayo poke was fresh and flavorful, making the whole plate a pretty solid value. This is one spot I'll definitely be coming back to every time I come back.

Wow literally so good and so worth getting! Staff is friendly and trying to work hard but wow the literal longest wait ever. It's a cute spot to wait in, but we were waiting for like 40 minutes for our food. It's a little hard to find since it looks like it's in a residential area but keep looking until you find this gem!

I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
