13 Best Coffee Shops near Hanalei

“The artwork is amazing!!!“

“I’m a coffee snob and the Rise Up blend is delicious. They were able to adjust my order and get me exactly what I needed! Thank you 🙏🏼“

“This place has such a great vibe, and one of the coolest things is that you can actually watch them prepare your breakfast right in front of you. It's such a neat, engaging experience!

And the food? Oh my goodness, the pastries and breads are out of this world. They're all baked fresh, and there's a huge, mouth-watering variety to choose from every single day. Plus, for anyone with dietary needs, they even have a fantastic selection of gluten-free pastries and bread, which is awesome to see – they really cater to everyone.

Full disclosure, it is a little on the pricier side, I won't lie. But honestly, the quality of the ingredients, the fresh preparation right before your eyes, and the overall delightful atmosphere really make it worth every single penny. You truly feel the value in every bite!

Seriously, if you're ever looking for a super enjoyable breakfast or brunch, I couldn't recommend this place more highly!“

“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!“

“Great breakfast stop in Hanalei. I had a fresh fruit/granola bowl with banana, strawberries, and blueberries, and it was bright, refreshing, and filling without being too heavy. Casual outdoor vibe, good coffee/breakfast energy, and an easy recommendation before a beach day or walking around town. Would absolutely come back.“

“We stopped here for coffee on our trip. I had a delicious Americano with a little macnut flavor. We also got the sourdough banana bread and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it might actually be the best banana bread I’ve ever had in my life. Do yourself a favor and order it! 🍌🍞

There is an outdoor seating in a beautiful garden space, but it was a drizzly morning and most people were taking their coffee to go. It seems to be a popular with locals — the few people we chatted with in line live in the area. There was a steady stream of people; I’d call it busy but not crowded and the barista served us all at a steady paced that felt efficient. He acknowledged everyone as they walked up and didn’t seem too bothered when I asked a couple questions about the plants in the seating area. I was careful to only ask two questions since he was busy and I can talk a lot! 😅

Overall the atmosphere felt friendly and relaxed and I wish I’d had an opportunity to come back during my trip.“

“This French toast and the Portuguese sausage breakfast my wife got were amazing. Side of bacon was the best smoked maple bacon I've ever had, not too smokey but just enough. The French toast though. First it has like this coconut custard type stuff on top which is absolutely the best thing that's ever touched my taste buds. And pair that with the French toast, ooh man we got a problem. I want to eat it every day. Every. Day. I couldn't even take a good picture because I ate the entire thing sitting in front of the shop because I got it to go and just ate the whole thing. Like the sign says, takes about 15 minutes to make and it was worth it.

Update- we went back the next day and got the same thing. Amazing. And my wife took better photos. Coffee medium roast is delicious.“

“This place is amazing! I had a chai latte which was spicy, flavorful and delicious. I loved that the to go cup tops are made of a biodegradable cardboard and they have nice water cups and cool merch. Too bad I only discovered it on the last day of my trip.“

“Excellent breakfast, definitely a hidden gem. We had the Kalua pork eggs Benedict & honestly I’ve never tasted anything better. This place is a stop you should not miss.“

“Excellent food friendly atmosphere quiet. A must visit“

“Absolutely the best desserts in the North shore. Here you can get mango or pineapple soft serve with no added sugar and no dairy and it's delicious. We also tried the root beer float shave ice which was surprisingly delicious they use high quality ingredients here.“

“Great little breakfast place! I’ve gone here each morning after a run, swim, or morning walk, and it has been wonderful each time! It’s a little cafe/coffee shop inside the resort, and the views from the cafe are stunning. The matcha is delicious! Had a little mishap while ordering in a bigger group, but has only happened once.“

“Lappert’s in Princeville is absolutely worth the stop. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and rich, easily some of the smoothest I’ve had. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because every flavor tastes fresh and well balanced. The service was also excellent: friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. My cone was perfectly crispy too, which made the whole experience even better. Yes, the price is a bit on the higher side, but for the quality of the ice cream and the great service, it’s completely worth it. A must-visit if you’re in Princeville.“
