Cute little coffee shop tucked away in a corner of Makawao. I recommend parking n Baldwin Ave, grabbing your favorite coffee and pastry and then walking all the cute shops up and down the street. Or find a corner in Vida to read and relax.
Here's your updated 5-star review: Vida is such a gem in Makawao! The street-front parking is a huge bonus, and having restrooms available makes it an easy, comfortable stop. The lox bagel was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and those pickled onions took it to the next level. Truly top notch. The coffee was just as impressive. I tried the Thai Coffee and it was perfectly balanced, rich, and smooth. The seating areas feel intimate and cozy, whether you choose indoor or outdoor. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed morning, catching up with a friend, or even a first date. And as a real dog lover, the resident coffee shop retriever dogs made it even more inviting and special. They added such a warm, welcoming touch to the whole experience. I'll definitely be back!
We always stop here when in Makawao as the coffee is the best on the island. Unfortunately they didn't have the beetroot latte today, but the decaf latte they made was Ah-mazing, strong, creamy foam and a great taste with no bitterness. You can tell they prep their own coffee beans. The lilikoi pop tart was good, tart and tasty and not overly sweet. The blueberry muffin good too. However the artichoke pastry was dry and unseasoned and I had to leave half of it as it just wasn't worth eating. First time this has happened here as we usually love their food and coffee. It won't put us off coming here again though, the coffee is too good not to! I might just be more careful with my food choice next time.
I got the ginger mule refresher. It has ginger, pear, tea, and topped with edible glitter! Such a fun and refreshing drink. Vida is a very cute, tucked away cafe up in makawao town. Love the atmosphere of this place! The barista was very nice as well!
Love this cute little coffee shop. There's so many different seating areas to enjoy your coffee and pastries. They also have sandwiches. The workers were friendly. I would recommend when in Makawao!
Atmosphere and location an easy 10/10. Several seating choices with totally different vibes. You could bring a laptop and be left in peace upstairs or even bring a typewriter and make a ruckus without bothering anyone closer to the street. No matter where you sit, it is beautiful. The pastry treats were delicious. We had the apple pull aparts and the almond croissants. Just the right amount of sweet. Service was fast and our drinks were good too. We wish we didn't have other things we wanted to do today so we could have hung out longer.
Hidden little coffe spot. There are tables inside and outside. There are some yummy looking pastries (we did not have any but they looked good). The gals working were not friendly, but also not rude. The coffee was made quickly. Not much of a flavor. Coffee was not very strong (almost like they forgot to put the shot of espresso in). The largest they have is a 16oz. I drank about half and tossed the rest. There are a lot of great reviews so maybe it was an "off day". Wont be back but worth trying.
Charming little spot in Makawao! Had the ceremonial hot matcha and it was custom made by the lovely barista's we added there turmeric and macnut milk it was smooth, flavorful, and just what I needed. The lemon lavender scone was a lovely surprise--light, not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the matcha. Cozy vibe, cute cafe, and a great treat stop when you're upcountry. Parking is located at the lot around corner. Will definitely be back!
So good my family and I came back twice! The outside seating is very nice and offers plenty of shade. The workers are both friendly and helpful. And the drinks themselves are very well-made. Everything my family sipped was good, but I honestly cannot recommend the lavender latte enough. It was simply delicious. The flavors were balanced and perfectly complimented one another to make a near-perfect drinking experience. The baked goods were also great (the banana bread being my favorite). This is most definitely a worthy stop in Makawao!
We had just finished a heavy lunch in Kula and were on our way to hike Twin Falls Trail. We were feeling the food coma kick in, so we left it up to Yelp to find us a coffee place for a boost of caffeine! We ended up in a quaint country town of Makawao. Honestly this place wasn't on our itinerary, but I wish I could have spent more time here...so many shops and local businesses to check out! We parked along the side of the road and walked a short distance to Vida. What an adorable picturesque little coffee shop! The interior was open and airy. Great friendly service from the young ladies who greeted us with friendly smiles as well. Order up: Iced Neopolitan Cold Brew (had fresh strawberry bits in it...yummy!). Glad we stumbled across this place! What a great find! Aloha & mahalo till next time...
Had their mushroom chai latte it was pretty good, the vibe is actually pretty chill, I liked it, however the person manning the cashier seemed to not be the friendliest. But it's ok maybe it's just not her day. Would def come For a sip of coffee.
IMHO This is a hidden gem behind Sherri Reeve Gallery. Never knew it existed before until my daughters found it. Their father wasn't feeling well, a little under-the-weather, and the nice lady behind the counter suggested a "grab & go" cold pressed health shot for him. This is a bright and colorful establishment that also serves pastries! It is a very welcoming environment, and the service helpful and friendly! Next time I visit, I will order a yummy latte for myself!

Great service and decent coffee! Came here for an early morning coffee the girls working were sweet. We ordered: White mocha: 3/10 LIGHT ROAST Espresso tasted burnt and I could taste it more since my drink was not sweet at all which I actually expected it to be sweet. Lavender Latte: 7/10 LIGHT ROAST I think this one tasted better because of the added sweetness I could not taste the espresso as much! read more

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this was your experience! If you can…

Caffeine-free options!!!! That are good!!! We were immediately drawn in by the tropical decor & fun drink menu. Vida is beyond the main street, in an alley between Tiger Eye Salon & Collections. Quick service. We stopped in on a weekday afternoon and experienced little to no wait, though the cafe was nearly full. Their menu definitely appeals to the hippy crowd, seeing that many items include herbs or superfoods, or have vegan/gluten-free options. ROSE LATTE: Real rose petals in every sip, for better or for worse. Their blend is heavily aromatic-- tastes like actual rose, not at all like floral syrup. Their entryway also offers coffee paraphernalia for sale, like coffee pots, coasters, and roasted beans. read more

Located down a short alleyway across from Komoda Bakery, this small coffee shop is typical of Makawao shopping in that it is pretty pricey. What isn't usual is the friendly service and healthier pastry choices. They have gluten free and vegan donuts, muffins and breads. Their drink menu is extensive and really yummy. We chose the lavender and chai lattes, great, and the deep rose lemonade, too flowery tasting. We also had the chocolate gluten free and vegan donuts, tasty but a bit dry, and the pumpkin coffee cake which was okay. I am definitely looking forward to when they get the baked goods from their usual bakery back. read more

Great local coffee shop in Makawao. They have a variety of coffees as well as add ons. Even those that don't want/like caffeine have something to choose from. They also sell local pastries and have indoor or outdoor seating. Service was friendly and helpful when ordering. There is a huge parking lot just behind it with a walk up some stairs to access the shop. Restrooms are also nearby. For sure a must stop when visiting the town of Makawao. read more

Chai is not the best. Very watery. Matcha with agave as a sweetener, really good. Seating is tight if you are there when it's reserved for the restaurant next door. read more

This is the cutest coffee shop with amazing staff members and ambiance. While in Maui, I went here at least 3 times because I LOVED the lavender latte. What a treat!! It's located in a cute town and has plenty of outdoors seating with a nice view. read more
You can get any type of coffee you like here, I had a turmeric latte with oat milk, hubby had a standard latte and both were very good. Lots of nice pastries and interesting seating areas as well. The gluten free pumpkin coffee cake was excellent. The line at 10:30 on a Saturday was long and it took 20 minutes between standing in line and waiting for our order, so don't be in a hurry. read more

Luckily stumbled our way in after stopping by Komodos across the street. They just reopened in this new spot Nov 3rd. Immediately we were greeted with smiles which matched their bright and cheerful decor. They've got some unique drinks on the menu including non caffeinated latte such as lavender and beet root (?!). I played it safe and went for mocha cold brew--delicious! Plenty of chocolate flavor and not overly sweet. There is plenty of shaded seating outside to read or chat with friends. I would definitely be a regular here if I lived close by. read more
All around delightful coffee shop. Nice ambiance with a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors. We got an ice latte and a caramel macchiato, both were great. Pastries looked good too but this time only got drinks. Staff and service were kind and pretty quick. When we went on a weekday morning it wasn't very crowded. I would definitely visit again! read more

So happy that Sip Me is back in Makawao! Rebranded as "Vida", they continue to serve handcrafted coffees, teas, juices, and a variety of delicious pastries! Tried the Lion's Mane latte & Caramel Macchiato, both were good, but what stood out for me was the rose lemonade, immunity wellness shot & "relaxation" juice blend. The flavor of those juices were exceptionally refreshing! Like Sip Me, they can get busy quickly, so be patient! Indoor and outdoor seating is available but limited. read more

Best Carmel macchiato with 3 shots of espresso. If you are looking for something slightly sweet & has a rich coffee flavor... order this! Also, make sure to tip your barista read more
