Super popular acai bowl and smoothie shop in Kauai near Princeville! We came after lunch for a…read moresweet treat and I grabbed an acai bowl with peanut butter, coconut flakes, granola and lots of fresh fruit. The presentation and how they lay out everything is super cute and it was a nice refreshing treat! I do prefer my acai to be a bit more tart and it's on the sweeter side here but overall a great spot and I can see why it's popular.

It's a little hard to find, but it's located in the back of a few shops. We accidentally got in the…read morepick up line until I asked and they directed me to the other side of the building. There were a few others that were in the wrong line as well. There was a line and it took about 10 minutes to get to order. I ordered the macadamia nut iced latte and it was really good. I highly recommend getting that one. It was smooth and wealth balanced, and not too sweet. It comes in these cute mason glass jars that you get to keep if you'd like with that that was pretty neat. There are a few areas you can sit at. It was raining so the best place was under the patio. Overall, this place had a great vibe and great coffee!

I'm convinced people spend $3.5 million dollars on a house in Hanalei for one reason: chocolate macadamia nut scones. I should be apologizing for to the locals around me who are coming for their daily bread. The lines are long - rightfully so - but anticipation isn't built quickly. Block off your morning for this. Hanalei Bread Company will be the reason why I waste my retirement savings and my children's college fund for a 1/6 ownership in a condo I can't afford. Surely they can't do bread AND great coffee. Bury me in property taxes too. The macchiato (there's only one kind) was perfectly creamy, strong, and served in a perfectly sized 3 oz cup. Don't leave the island without coming here. And then don't leave the island to keep coming here.

I got the Fancy Toast with salmon and it had a TON of salmon, but I couldn't really taste any of the other ingredients. The pastrami sandwich was a little greasy but a good portion. We also tried the cinnamon and strawberries & cream pastries, which were good but nothing crazy. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from LA, but it tasted like any other coffee shop to me. Not bad, just not worth the wait and probably wouldn't come back.

Deciced to try out Outpost Coffee for our morning coffee while staying near Hanalei town…read more Great location, located in Hanalei near several other cute shops & restaurants. Parking was easy, there is a parking lot directly behind the shop. When we arrived there was no line, just a group making a purchase. There was no menu posted on the wall or anything... the only available menus were located at the register where this group was, which I thought was odd for a coffee/beverage spot. So we had to wait til they were done to even see the menu options. As much I wanted to love this place, the coffee was a miss for me... I got the iced coconut dulce de leche iced latte. My drink tasted mostly like milk & not much coffee, caramel, or coconut flavor. However, others in my group tried coffees and smoothies and they were content. There's also a small grocery store attached to it, like whole foods or down to earth store. Different and unique products but cost seemed very high. There was a locally made candy bar for $21 lol. Sorry but Outpost Coffee won't be on my list, for spots to return to.

Outpost Coffee is an easy 5 stars and will definitely be one of my stops every time I'm back on…read moreKauaʻi. I ordered the iced Hamakua mac nut latte for about $7, and it was worth every penny. The coffee was smooth with a strong flavor that still let the macadamia nut come through. I'd rather spend $7 here than at Starbucks any day of the week. They also sell bagels, smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. One thing I almost missed was the small grocery section attached. I was walking around sipping my coffee and grabbed a homemade brown butter chocolate chip cookie, and it was so good that I completely forgot to take a picture before eating it. The flaky sea salt on top brought out the rich buttery flavor and made it one of the best cookies I've had in a long time. Definitely would recommend and will be coming back next time I'm on Kaua'i

great little Shaved Ice location in Hanalei! First time we came it was raining, and the second was…read morebrief sun. It is located with other businesses in a shared building and surrounded by a small shopping area with gravel walkways. You order at the window and there are menus online and on the wall. After paying, they will call you when it is done. Hard to hear if raining, lol. The mixtures they put together on the shaved ice are very sweet and tempting. It is a great way to cool down in humid rain or in hot sun! lots of little covered picnic tables to sit at, watch for attack chickens.

Even though we parked in the back lot because of all the cars there. My husband had his cherry & mango over vanilla ice cream. The rest of us had straight shaved ice. One with organic strawberry, one POG & cherry & I had cherry, mango & lychee. I wished it had more lychee, maybe next year I'll go with only 2 flavors. The new covered picnic tables saved us from getting wet while sitting there. A definite plus.

I had high expectations walking into 1 Hotel Hanalei. Instead, I left disappointed and $40 lighter…read moreafter buying two drip coffees and pastries. The coffees were lukewarm, and for an "upscale" property, everything about this cafe felt bare-minimum. The real letdown: The staff. Not one smile. No genuine welcome. The whole operation felt like an obligation rather than hospitality. They handed me a paper cup--a paper cup--at a luxury hotel. There's nothing premium about that experience, and it made me question what I was even tipping for. For the same money and infinitely better service, I'd go to Java Kai in Kilauea any day. At least there, you feel like someone actually cares you showed up. If 1 Hotel wants to charge luxury prices, they need luxury service. Right now, this cafe falls short on both counts. Skip it.

Wow! So sad we waited so long to try this place during our stay in Hanalei…read more Let's just rate it already. 10/10. Absolutely amazing. Good was some of the best I've ever had. The Churro French Toast is life changing. Full order can easily feed 3-4 people. Crispy, sweet, yet soft and tasty inside. Best description is a combination of a churro, mixed with a cinnamon roll, mixed with a donut. Would highly recommend. They offer a half portion too which is great for 2 people to share. The breakfast burritos are legit. Massive, tasty, delicious, and filling. About the same size and width as a 32oz Yeti bottle. Ordered the veggie burrito with bacon and the Smoked Pork burrito. Loved both. Tots, veggies, cheese, meat, all loaded. Even the salsas were 10/10. Seating is limited, maybe enough for 8-10 people total to sit inside, but they take to go orders and you can walk 5 minutes to Hanalei beach and eat by the ocean. TLDR - Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious and such a beautiful experience!…read more We had the Garlic Shrimp and the Churros French Toast, and both were incredible! Let me tell you the garlic shrimp was amazing! The shrimp was cooked to perfection: juicy, tender, and coated in the most delicious garlic sauce. Every bite was so flavorful! The Churros French Toast was actually one of the reasons we came here because it's so popular, and it absolutely did not disappoint! It looks like it would be super sweet, but surprisingly, it's not. It's perfectly crunchy on the outside, moist in the middle, and just the right amount of sweetness. So delicious! And to top it all off, you get to enjoy this fantastic food with a beautiful Kauai view. Overall, such a wonderful experience. If you're visiting Kauai, I highly recommend putting Wake Up Delicious on your list you won't be disappointed!
