    The atmosphere, vibe and energy is nothing but good here. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. The owners work at the register and behind the counter making coffee and chopping it up with customers. They have a great flow going. The place is spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating and pretty aesthetics. My coffee was good and husband enjoyed his green smoothie. I also took a peek in the back where they are mixing up our drinks and I've noticed they' were using relatively good products which is always a perk. All in all our party was happy with our orders.

    Great start for any Kauai trip. Coffee, smoothies or breakfast bites are a hit here. The place is fun, clean, and full of great service. Our group got all the above and it was so delicious. A must have when you're in Kauai..

    This must be the place is the song that comes to mind when I think back to this spot! The owner is incredibly nice and enhances the whole experience of grabbing yourself a delightful treat. The line moves quickly and we had our coffees in no time. Our coffees were surprisingly good, strong and just the fuel we needed to kick off another day in paradise.

    My cashier (who I believe was the owner) is the only shot of espresso you'll need!! Jokes aside, the vibe inside is like sunshine. Fun decor, bright colors, house music going. Great selection of fun coffee based drinks. Ordered the blended Kauai Cruiser which was a sweet start to the morning. Good hints of chocolate. Also had the Brahvacado on a rosemary bagel which was also really good and fresh. Would recommend!

    No ka maikaʻi - which literally translates to of the best - is how I'd describe Rainbeau Jo's. Down in the dumps? Take one step inside and guaranteed you will leave with a smile on your face. Beau's greetings shower you with aloha. Their vibes inside are just as warm and friendly - from the insanely adorable stickers/magnets and merch, to the wall mural and decorations. I'm shocked it's taken me so long to discover this gem. With little smiley's on the lids, to the sip cover hula dudes, what is not to love. Oh yes, and the coffee is just as good. The Rainbow Rita drinks didn't disappoint. Caramel haze left me in a happy daze. Def for those that have a sweet tooth. Smoothies were also very good. Punch card for frequent visitors too - def get one if you're on the island and plan to visit more than once. Will absolutely return next time we are in the area!

    Consistently smooth and balanced coffee made by the coolest crew! Be sure to buy a bag (or two or three) of their whole bean coffee, too.

    The food was 10/10 delicious. You gotta get the Cowabunga Brah. I love the decor inside and everyone who works there was so friendly. Our food and drinks came fast and with a smile. You gotta stop here and then go back again! There's an amazing wall to take a selfie or group photo in front of too!

    Amazing food, great vibes, best customer service hands down! Had to snag a sweet custom hat before we flew out!  Highly recommend!!

    This place is the BEST!! Amazing customer service and I would say the best in the Hawaiian islands hands down. Husband and wife owners and the vibes were on point! Would highly recommend! Will make it back here someday!

    Absolutely loved the vibe here at Rainbeau Jo's! When you walk in, your feel so special since they greet you like an old friend you haven't seen in a while. I loved learning about Beau (the guy at the register who greets you) and Jo (making the delicious coffees) are husband and wife! It looks like they make a great team. We ordered: -Cold Brew ($4.95/12 oz)+ Mac Nut Flavor ($1) + Mac Nut Milk ($1.25): delicious Mac flavor -Pineapple Danish and Cinnamon Roll: both were delicious warmed up They also sell cute merch including clothes, stickers, and more. I couldn't help myself and bought their purple crop t-shirts. Lovely coffee shop to start your morning. I highly recommend checking out Rainbeau Jo's!

    First time in Kauai and the birthday celebration continues--LOL! First stop: coffee, of course. Thank goodness for friends who share their itinerary--because I was seriously craving a macadamia nut latte with oat milk. My little entourage ordered their own mix of drinks, but mine hit the spot. The owner? Super friendly and straight-up comedy. Definitely a hit in my books!

    The service is EXCELLENT. A couple owns this joint and they are so friendly and kind. They offer suggestions to visit for tourist which is really sweet. I get the feeling that they sincerely want you to enjoy your time on the island. The coffee is really good too. Very smoothe coffee. They have tons of options for coffee beverages. If my trip were longer, I'd definitely come back. Such a cute place to hang out with a friend and catch up while enjoying a cup of coffee.

    Aloha Spirit is overflowing here in Lihue! Beau and Jo both working their elbow grease to the bone with glorious precision, from the moment I first entered their pinkified space, I was greeted with a warm welcome, smiles and instructions for ordering. Their cozy space was packed with happy customers including repeat customers flashing their pink rewards cards and RainbeauJo app! I think there's even a drive-up window because I saw them providing service out of a back window. I'm downloading the app now to return for this delicious everything bagel with cream cheese, and pesto, and I will return to try every other bagel on their menu, simply delicious!

    A coffee and bagel GEM so close to airport. A must visit right after you arrive, as you make your way to depart, or just when you are in town. The owner is super friendly and he makes the entire experience pleasant. Salty wahine and lucky charm latte are just delicious drinks. And the Cowabunga Bagel with everything bagel is THE BEST bagel I've ever tasted in my life! I swear it's that good. They really smothered the bagel with the tastiest garlic feta dill cream cheese.

    Where did Rainbeau Jo's move to? When by all of last week and again today but the truck has moved.

    If you have an Instagram, should follow their account @rainbeaujos, they keep you updated on when they're open. They have been closed for the past week or two because they're opening a new location.

    Where is this amazing truck usually located?

    As of a couple of months ago they are located at 2991 umi st in Lihue. Right in front of Restaurant Kiibo

    When stopping by Lihue, we were looking for a place where you can get some delicious poke quickly,…read moreand The Fish Express popped up as an interesting option to stop by. We went on a Saturday around lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. There is a small parking lot near the restaurant on the left hand side. It was filled when we first got there, but we were luckily able to get a spot. I could see this lot filling up quickly during other meal rush hours, so do take note if you plan on driving. The ordering is done like your typical poke place, you tell the service worker what you would like and there's a small toppings bar at the end before the cashier. There was a small line when we went, and even with the line, it still only took about 5-10 minutes to get our food. There isn't interior seating in the restaurant though, you will have to get your food take out, or just eat in the parking lot. I got the 3 scoops of poke option for $15.25, and I think that this is a pretty solid deal for the variety of fish that you can try out! I think based on my personal experience on Kaua'i, it will be difficult to get food, especially poke at a reasonable price. But for this price, it's probably the best place on the island to get poke without paying $20+ for the same variety. The fish tasted fresh, and I am a fan of the selection of toppings they had. If you are in the Lihue area and looking to try some poke at a reasonable price, I would recommend The Fish Express! There seems to be a decent amount of other interesting looking options on the menu, and if I'm ever in the area again, I would totally give them a try!

There are no blinking lights or frills, just a blue menu taped to the truck and an open window. There was no line when I arrived. The gentleman who helped me was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips, an extra tartar sauce, a can of passion orange juice and a side of the homemade habanero sauce. By the time I was done ordering and paying, an impressive line of tourists had formed behind me. I made use of the hand sanitizer and went to sit and wait. There are picnic benches across from the truck with ample seating. The area is kept clean. The sun was shining bright and a the breeze from the ocean was extremely relaxing. My food took about 10 minutes, he walked the food out personally instead of screaming from the window which I appreciated. I took the food and drink back to my car so I could listen to my book while I ate my lunch. The plate contained 5 battered and fried pieces of fish (mahi?) Andy who they were seasoned, crispy and golden brown, served over a large portion of crisp French fries. 2 tartar sauces, a ketchup and the anticipated habanero hot sauce. The fish was moist and flaky on the inside and tasted fresh. Absolutely delicious. The hot sauce.... The homemade habanero sauce should be bottled and sold. It starts off mild to allow your food to shine on its own then creeps in with the perfect amount of heat. Paired with the tartar sauce or ketchup (I alternated every bite) changed the profile in a way that no hot sauce I've ever eaten has allowed. There was no cloying aftertaste, no overpowering vinegar scent, the heat was not intense, but it was there in the background complimenting everything it touched. I am in Kauai several times a month and will definitely keep Tony's Catch in the rotation.

Plenty of tables with umbrellas are available. The food truck is right next to the beach. There are other food trucks nearby, but this was the one that was the most popular.
