15 Best Coffee Shops near Hanalei

“The artwork is amazing!!!“

“If you enjoy a good cup of coffee in the purest form, this place is the ticket! Tucked inside of a market, you would never guess they make such amazing beverages except for the line! Always the sign of a good place and I could tell we were surrounded by locals! They do have some food options too and I also saw the most delicious looking gluten free carrot cake come out from the back, we were there for the coffee! Next time!

I got a nitro cold brew and wow was it good! My dad got a cappuccino and it was delicious too. Not even the smallest amount of bitterness, clean and smooth coffee with a fabulous finish. Definitely gave us the pick me up we needed. The staff was super friendly too. There isn’t really seating there, it’s more of a grab and go sort of place. In fact, I saw a few people roll in and walk up to their drinks so I suspect there is some sort of ordering process if you call in ahead of time.

There is also plenty of parking so no issue there. We parked in the back behind the market. It’s a cute little center so plan to grab a coffee and then stay for a bit and sit out at one of the many benches in the grass area or walk around as it is very walkable and filled with shops, eateries and food trucks! We had a great time, grabbed some food along the way and shopped a bit. Definitely worth the trip!!

Parking: There was a huge lot behind the market. It went deep into the back so there should be parking there.“

“Coconut shrimp was so good. Food is delicious.“

“Very good pastries, as are the cappuccinos. All the things that come from the kitchen are made on the spot, you can feel and perceive the freshness of the goods. I recommend the beagel with cream cheese and the Acai Bowl with fresh fruit, the bee nectar is extremely nutritious!“

“Every single flavor I tried was absolutely divine! I cannot wait for my next visit to Kaua'i so I can enjoy these masterworks of baking again!“

“Delicious shave ice! The macadamia ice cream is da bomb too. Nice people, and a great location.“

“What an awesome coffee shop and bakery. We stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday and it was packed, as expected. We waited around 15-20 minutes in line to order and another 10 minutes for our food. Totally worth the wait. Brekkie sandwich and ham and egg croissant were delicious, coffee and tea were great. We ordered a chocolate croissant to share and it did not disappoint. We had to be a little eagle eyed for a table, but were able to grab one that someone had just vacated right before we ordered. Island breeze in the late morning was perfect, lots of families and locals milling about. The Hanalei Market is a two minute walk down the sidewalk with lots of shops to visit nearby as well as the Ching Young Center across the street. Not a super extensive menu but plenty of other items we'd love to come back and try!

Parking: Free lot parking nearby and free street parking across the street as well as nearby“

“One of our favorite places to visit on Kauai was Nanea Coffee! The owner Mason and the environment he has created manifest the aloha spirit - welcoming, friendly, warm and spiritual. If you’re in the north shore of Kauai we HIGHLY recommend visiting this place. We went every day - except on Sunday when they were closed. Besides the beautiful location - the coffee, chai and baked goods were so delicious!“

“Came back three times for coffee, smoothie and Acai bowl. Spacious and clean, air conditioned, delicious drinks and food, fast service, ample parking. I think the food here is good value compared to other places that don’t even have seating areas.“

“I had to stop myself from getting one of everything because it all looked so so good! So many protein bite options, raw goodies, and lots of tasty looking treats. multiple dairy alternatives to choose from for bevs. I got a little rose pistachio number that melted while i sat outside and while the presentation was ruined- the flavor was not! It was such a delicious floral taste with the pistachio,truly delicious“

“Amazing food! Try the pancake sticks!“

“Excellent food friendly atmosphere quiet. A must visit“

“This is a great place for breakfast. The menu creative, the staff are friendly and efficient. Great coffee drinks! Can’t go wrong stopping in for a fresh and delicious meal!“

“Really good experience overall.Coffee was top notch and service was given with a smile. It was slightly slower than expected to get the food and coffee out, but it fits the relaxed vibe.Had an awesome bagel and my wife had a gluten free muffin, which was particularly great.Haven't even got to the view, which is unbeatable.

Dietary restrictions: There were a few GF options.“

“Great shave ice, great portion sizes, great flavors, and you can add ice cream too! The staff is also super friendly and helpful. They have picnic tables and shade which makes it nice to sit and relax. While, we were there they were paving the parking lot so it was very noisy and did not smell the greatest. However, this was not their fault that the atmosphere was not the most appealing.“
