Line was long but cashier was kind and polite despite the stresses of the constant stream of people. I tried the limited edition butterfly pea tea and it was super refreshing!! read more

Starbucks - Butterfly pea tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Located inside the airport, typical Starbucks drinks that's you can pretty much get anywhere BUT pricing here is outrageous. I paid $20 for two grande sized drinks that would have cost $12 elsewhere. Drinks tastes okay, nothing special. The space is small but the store is somewhat clean and fully stocked with napkins, straws and condiments. It has some cutesy and select merchandise. Would not recommend regularly as its price is inflated airport prices. But if you're passing through and it's hot, you'll need a drink to stay hydrated. read more

Classic Starbucks offerings with the inflated airport prices ! Staff was friendly and helpful. Seating was extremely limited definitely not set up to relax waiting for your flight. read more

Had a couple of hours to kill before my flight so I thought I'd order a couple of sandwiches and a drink before boarding. I ordered a Ham & Swiss sandwich on a baguette which was automatically warmed for me. I thought it was a cold sandwich but I guess they automatically warm it for you? I wasn't asked at the register. I was in the nearby shops where you can buy sandwiches, snacks & souvenirs but the sandwiches were cold & basic & much more expensive. This sandwich was less expensive, warmed for you and satisfying. I also ordered a Turkey Bacon/Cheddar/Egg White sandwich on an English Muffin to eat later on the plane. That was also warmed. The app doesn't give you an option for a cold sandwich. To drink, I got my favorite Strawberry Matcha Strato Frapp w/Oatmilk. Prices are higher at the airport so my Frapp was $0.47 more than in town. Seating is available against the window and only a couple of tables. There's always a line at this location & it can get a little tight, but it goes fast. Order your sandwiches ASAP or they may be sold out. My Ham & Swiss Baguette must have been one of the last ones available as it was sold out by the time I almost finished my sandwich & was ordering the Turkey Bacon Sandwich on my app. You can buy Starbucks tropical or Hawaii mugs, tumblers, accessories & even Kona Coffee. read more

Starbucks - 10/31/24 requested for ice and got it Mahalo Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks. Delivered 3 sandwiches and 1 drink. Reminded server twice that my drink hadn't been delivered. Was told "you're next up." Ultimately waited 20 minutes while people who were 15 minutes behind me in line received their drinks. Left with no drink because I thought I wouldn't make my flight. Told them on the way out that I didn't get it. Flight was delayed so I went back. Servers acted all put out when I asked for my drink. Then they made the WRONG drink for me. Just a horrific experience. No way to give ZERO stars. read more

There's only 1 Starbucks in Lihue Airport. Why? Because it's really not a very busy, super congested airport like at HNL or OGG. And when you're on The Garden Island, there really is no rush to be anywhere unless you're absolutely late for an appointment, work, meeting, or your flight. Mobile Order is also available here, but I had over an hour to spare. Me being the only customer in line, while my colleagues decided to wait in another area of the airport. My Venti Iced Apple Latte and warmed Cheese Danish was ready in a few minutes along with service and a smile! read more

DO NOT go here. The cashier was ridiculously patronizing and rude. She had red/black hair with glasses, short, heavier set. Don't know her name but she was awful. Don't understand why she had to be rude when we were nothing but kind to her ordering. She rushed us and had a horrible attitude. STAY AWAY! She also barked at her coworker, the poor girl didn't do anything wrong! Save your time and get coffee somewhere else! read more

Starbucks - The not nice cashier. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Great crew working here to make you morning Brew-tastic! Today I added a Ham & Cheese Croissant to my much needed, fresh brewed, Sugar-free Vanilla Almond Latte! What a way to brighten up a rainy day! Mahalo to my Barista "Elizabeth" for brewing up my wake up cup! This quaint little coffee shop located just past the TSA screening point, between gates six and seven, is a great place to relax and enjoy your Java and watch the runway action from their window viewing point. read more

Starbucks - Ham & Cheese Croissant with a Sriracha wink! Aloha Saturday! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Typical Starbucks. I wish the airport had a local coffee place in the airport. But, this worked. They sell some cute Hawaii cups and mugs. They had the same menu a Starbucks on the mainland has. You can mobile order- and cut the line. read more

This has been our daily coffee spot on our vacation and I read all the reviews about timing. I ordered today and the drink was ready in 5 mins which was a shocker lol. The drinks have been made great and consistent everyday. All the workers have been very friendly read more

Drinks and food are standard SB. Floor is dirty. Trash bin is overflowing. Furniture needs to be refreshed. read more

We had a really disappointing experience at this Starbucks, primarily due to the behavior of a cashier/barista named Aisha. Hopefully you are lucky enough to not get her. My husband slightly changed his food order (literally one second after saying it, before paying), and she immediately scolded him in a rude tone, complete with eye rolls. It was unnecessarily condescending. Even after that interaction, she got my drink order wrong and then tried to tell me I was mistaken--until I jogged her memory of our conversation, at which point she said, "oh yeah," with no apology. On top of that, the breakfast sandwich she made was terribly assembled--the bun wasn't even placed on top, the cheese was everywhere as a result--and I watched as she deliberately made orders for other people before ours. It's really unfortunate to end what had been an amazing babymoon trip on such a sour note. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but customer service requires at least basic courtesy. If you can't treat people with civility, this may not be the right role. Service aside. I always appreciate that Starbucks food and drinks taste good. read more

drink was typically SB and glad it's at the airport. stars are literally based on her feedback. the girl at the front with the glasses could totally use some feedback on her attitude. It wasn't busy and to still roll your eyes and act like this is the biggest inconvenience in her life tells me that a job involving customer service isn't for her. read more

There's a quaint little Starbucks outlet here at the airport and the place has a massive appeal. The line gets really busy and they have a good selection of coffees, sandwiches and desserts to choose from. Of course I had to get my souvenir mug to bring back home to California. They have huge windows where you can see all the planes coming and going down the runway. read more

Heavier set short girl with glasses who doesn't wear a name tag (I'm sure purposefully) is SO RUDE! I'm pretty easy going but wow, the fact it prompted me to write a review is pretty bad. I get it's an airport and busy, but no need for the really bad attitude. read more

6/23/22 Aloha! Was really praying this place was going to save my family with some crispy double warmed grilled cheese or panini sandwiches! C'mon Starbucks is a franchise and almost never fails. Unfortunately this location doesn't serve any lunch options. They only have bagels and breakfast and muffin options at 5pm Hawaii time. We ended up grabbing a bagel with cream cheese and 2 Venti beverages! Mango dragonfruit & pineapple passion fruit lemonade (a local offering) - both sadly tasted very artificial :( so so sad. My name was spelled wrong but oh well. Bagel wasn't really toasted so this layover was a miss. Two ladies working the counter. Whhhaaaaaaaat....No one seems to be happy here in Hawaii! They do have some Hawaii specific souvenirs that I thought was nice! :) read more

Placed a mobile order and it was ready relatively quickly despite the long line. I had placed an order of 4 drinks and asked for an ice water once I was picking them up, and the barista sighed and rudely handed one to me. I get if I was just maybe buying 1 drink or none at all and went to ask for a free ice water, but, I had a decent order lol... read more

Another Starbucks, another airport. Fun pesto sandwich. Great service! Usually catch the tail-end of service at airports, this one, not so much. Tried the piggy-in-a-blanket which was a great pick me up between flights. read more

Busy. Ancient. Hawaii is quite dated and antiquated from hotels to businesses most notice and mention. Not much upgrading. No charging outlets here. Prices about $2 more for being an airport location which is expected. Old airport but nice. Workers nice. Nothing special. Charging stations for travellers would be wholesome though. read more

Starbucks - Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Didn't find a lounge at this airport so opted to wait for boarding at Starbucks instead for breakfast. Service was quick and they let us know when parts of our order would take longer. Seats were plenty and comfy! Loved that this Starbucks had plenty of windows to bring in the natural sunlight of Kauai! read more

Im not very happy about the service and drink that i paid for. The workers looked like they were not happy to be there or trying to go home because they did NO smiling or acknowledging behind the counter. I gave 1 star for keeping my drink the same taste. They may have been cleaning because half the place was blocked off. It could be they were busy with that but they could have put a sign up or something. I paid 7+bucks for a venti which looked like a grande. It wasnt even busy, no line. I hope it was that i went on a wrong day and it doesn't happen often. read more

The Lady at the airport Starbucks is so rude and she laughs at your drink while she rushes to get it done! It's so cramped and the drink was over blended! read more

Horrible customer service! Asked Joe long it would take for 3 bfast sandwiches and was told 10 min. More than 30 min later I get them and I'm now boarding my plane last. I asked for a refund, even that couldn't happen swiftly. The employee working there has NO BUSINESS working with public. She was rude and offensive when pressed for what she had promised. Another terrible Starbucks, SHOCKER! read more

After arriving at the Lihue airport, my wife requested a Venti frappucino for our trip back to Honolulu. Tried the tiramisu flavor and it was one of the best flavors I've ever tasted. The service and quality of treats and coffee were exactly what we've come to expect from Starbucks .... well above average. Sadly, I did deduct one star for the blatant price gouging that Starbucks typical does at every airport location I've visited. Sad, but that's supply and demand right? read more

The drip coffee was lukewarm at best. I waited for a fresh pot and received tasteless coffee which I found surprising given I requested dark roast. Not up to quality expected especially when it's 4.00 for drip. read more

If you can survive without going to this Starbucks, I recommend skipping it. If you have to have your coffee (no judgments here), just make sure to order your coffee and give yourself 30 minutes for it to come out. I eventually had to leave my coffee to make my flight. I feel for the workers because there were only 2 of them. Just expect it to be slow. read more

This Starbucks is the only one at the Lihue International Airport. It's on the smallish side, but does have seating inside, although it doesn't look like enough room for both seating and suitcases. My wife and I came inside while my sons waited back in the waiting area with the luggage. The Lihue International Airport is not air-conditioned, a definite minus if you have a long wait. That is reason enough to visit this air-conditioned Starbucks for a coffee (and cool air!) break. It wasn't too long a wait to get our drinks and the large windows along one wall are perfect for plane watching to pass the time. Also lots of Hawaii souvenir mugs if you are so inclined read more

They have city mugs (Hawaii and Waikiki only) and a tumbler or two that says Hawai'i on it. Also a bunch of other Starbucks merchandise and coffee beans. (December 2017 - they have the 100% Kona right now.) One of the only places to get food/drinks before you depart. You can pay through the app but can not redeem stars here. Good array of pastries/drinks. read more

It's sad that when places like this have a monopoly (where else you gonna go in the airport?) the quality and customer service totally goes away. Perhaps the worst Starbucks experience (rude, rushed, and dismissive) in terms of customer service I've had at a Starbucks (a near daily customer for more than a decade). But it's not like anybody is gonna check Yelp to see if this is a good location before they go because it's an airport location without coffee-shop competition. read more

No electrical outlets work???? Really? That's a travesty. I cannot believe this. Plus no wifi? What kind of Starbucks is this???? Totally disappointed will NEVER go to this Starbucks again. You mean to tell me the third world Starbucks all over Asia has wifi and working power plugs. But here in the Hawaiian islands no???? REALLY. Starbucks HQ fix this place or you will lose customers. kauai is a HUGE tourist destination and to have this like it is... Well disappointing. Totally read more

Starbucks - No one is here... I wonder why? No wifi no working Power plugs.... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Gave me a wrong sandwich only realized after boarding the flight. Had to eat another crappy sandwich.

Limited options at this airport. Thank you Starbucks for having the AC on! It was an oasis in the muggy heat.

The drinks looked like any other Starbucks. However, we were unable to get any because the line was so slow. At least half of the people that got in line gave up. The one woman working the counter seemed to be working hard, but without additional staff, each customer took way to much time. There was another staff member, but she was not assisting with the orders or drinks--not sure what she was doing. Anyway, I'd suggest getting your coffee fix before getting to the airport. read more

Worst service I have ever had at a Starbucks !!! No one in front of me simple green tea order they got it wrong after waiting over 15 minutes for someone to actually make it. Unfriendly, they all need to find a new job or get retrained. I am a stockholder and thoroughly disgusted. I visit a Starbucks in Olympia Washington everyday. I would never recommend this starbucks. read more
