Wishing Well Coffee & Tea is an absolute must-visit on Kauai! I ordered an iced matcha latte with…read moremacadamia nut milk, and it was DELICIOUS. I'm pretty picky when it comes to matcha, and this was honestly one of the best I've had on the island -- smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. The shop itself is super cute and located among other charming shops, making it a great stop while exploring the area. There's plenty of outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather, and some bar seating inside (though it can get a bit tight). I also loved that their cold drinks automatically come in a glass jar, which adds to the experience. If you order a hot drink, you can pay a little extra to get it in the jar as well, and they even offer plastic jar lids for $1, which is super convenient if you're on the go. Between the amazing matcha, cute aesthetic, and thoughtful details, this spot definitely stands out. I'd come back in a heartbeat!

Waited all week to give this place a try outside of the coffee…read more They do have extremely das service. Everyone is very nice and friendly. The decor and feel of the place fits the Hanalei vibes for sure and it's great that it's open seating indoor and outdoor. The coffee is great! I got the Cold Brew both times. The food is great. Nothing absolutely spectacular but it is very fresh. The bread on the sandwiches is light and fluffy. I had a Rueben, a Breakfast burrito and the fancy toast with Gluten Free Bread (just to try it). The Gluten free bread is amazing and some days they have gluten free banana bread which was just amazing! All the food is fresh and tasty with great flavor profiles. I highly suggest this place when visiting!

I love that they do everything in-house! And they do it well. Their homemade chai, matcha blossom, and coffee were all absolutely spectacular. For food, we have the veggie bagel and the breakfast burrito which were both really good as well.

Good, but not my favorite coffee shop this trip…read more What we got: I had slightly over pulled shot of beautifully roasted coffee beans. The flavoring (Hamakua macnut latte) was a little bland, but nonetheless, creamy and smooth. My boyfriend got the Bananarama which was good, but nothing extraordinary. Atmosphere: Located in the back of Hanalei Market (one of the best "grocery stores" around here by the way). Very clean, but it's just a counter/coffee bar. Service: Mm..I've noticed a pattern of lack of service or words during this trip.. the young girl just stared at us until I finally spat out my order. Some could even say a bit understaffed especially during peak hours.

(It's not sweet, but fun to eat). Good flavors, unique toppings, good portions. Relaxed vibe. We came here a couple times. Friendly staff. Insta dorks will eat it up the surroundings. Didn't try the Acai bowls. Next time.

We had the matcha with coconut and Mac nut latte multiple times throughout the week and it was delicious! It was so nice to start our day with coffee here or check in before their 3PM closure and enjoy the view and then go out into the city! I wanted to try the burrito but it has bacon in it already so we had the egg bites and chocolate croissant!

We opted for breakfast dishes, and they were both superb! They also have açaí, pitaya, and other signature bowls to choose from, as well as smoothies, coffee, and tea.

My husband got a breakfast burrito and I got a panini. The burrito was good (but he had one the previous morning he liked better). Portions were a decent size.

Come for the view-- stay for the fruity-fresh bowls…read more I was immediately annoyed, as we arrived to this SHACK, in the middle of nowhere-- just behind an black Escalade that dumped like 8 chatty, photo-snapping, highly confused tourists out, like it was a clown-car. But man, for a lil' spot, Nourish Hanalei can get those orders out QUICK! How many employees they got in there???? I was impressed! My take: come here for the view first, and food second. But the food was lovely. Had the freshest toppings of any bowl we had on our 2-island trip. And the fruit isn't lathered in a sauce, to hide less-than-fresh taste. These felt like someone went into the jungle, sliced it up, and tossed it on our bowl. The ACai itself was suuuuper frozen, which logistically makes sense, for such a remote operation. But less tasty than other spots. Great stop. 100% worth a visit.
