    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.

    Mocha and cold brew

    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.

    Iced mocha w/ oatmilk

    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!

    Avocado toast, golden turmeric latte

    Amazing coffee and avocado toast. The lady who served us was the sweetest person I've met on the island!

    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.

    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!!!

    Lava Lava Beach Club - Kauai…read more New American, Seafood, Breakfast & Brunch Kapaa, HI What a charming, fun restaurant right on the beach with such great ambiance!! The service was outstanding from the hostess, bar tenders, chefs and our wonderful server, Kapua!! She was so friendly and always checked on us without being intrusive. We have been on the island for 6 nights. Each evening we have tried Mai Tai's. Lava Lava's are by far the best!!! They are not too sweet and a good pour! We got there early as the other reviews said it gets crowded and they do not take reservations. We arrived at 5 pm on a Wednesday and were seated right away closest to the beach. For our starter we had edamame which was a large portion and so good. My husband ordered the Chicken Pineapple Rice Bowl and substituted the chicken for the coconut shrimp. The rice was AMAZING as well as the shrimp, but our only complaint was the portion was very small and was served with only 3 shrimp. The picture looks like you get a lot, but it came in a carved out SMALL pineapple. The presentation was beautiful though. I had the Ceasar salad and added chicken. It was so good!!! The lettuce was so crisp! Nothing worse than a Ceasar salad with wilty romaine lettuce. I've had plenty of those in my day. This was one of the best I've ever had! Everything arrived in a timely manner. We had a great night. Side note...they offer free valet parking which is at the very top of the parking lot. I have nothing but high praises for Lava Lava's beach club!! You must check it out for yourself. You will be so happy you did!

The shrimp rolls were packed with flavor and accompanied by a salty and spicy wasabi soy dipping sauce that really elevated the dish.

The staff were extremely friendly and answered our questions and made us feel very welcome.

And take it, somewhere else, to eat. No tables or seats, in this market. We ate ours, in the car, before heading to the airport. It was delicious, really fresh. Opens at 6am, so has that "We just caught this" feel. And not as "Pricey" as some Yelp Reviewers claimed it to be.
