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 🙏🏼“

“Coffee is great, barista was phenomenal. Vibe and servers and amazing. Food is just not worth the dollar. Just for the higher price of food, breakfast burrito is packed more with potatoes than eggs. Egg Sandwich was the same just poorly made.

But as coffee goes, great coffee spot.“

“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!“

“While in North Kauai, Hanalei Bread Company was at the top of our list. Sad to say, we arrived just before closing.

We grabbed some delicious coffee and a quick pastry from the counter, and both were excellent. Everything tasted fresh and was the perfect pick-me-up.

Parking can be a challenge during peak season, so I'd recommend going early. Let me know what you think if you visit!“

“Absolutely LOVE this local gem 💕
A must for coffee lovers ✨
It’s a beautiful spot to have a great cup of coffee and enjoy awesome Kauai vibes.
Staff is super friendly and helpful
I tasted their coffee and matcha and loved both!
Love coming back here again and again“

“If you’re anywhere nearby, Java Kai is absolutely worth the stop for both the coffee and the food. The macadamia nut latte alone is reason enough to visit.

Jet lag had me awake before sunrise, so I arrived right at opening and was greeted by a steady crowd of locals, which is always a great sign. I ordered the macadamia nut latte. It was a little sweeter than I usually prefer, but that’s to be expected with a flavored latte. Next time I’d order it with half the syrup, but the coffee itself was phenomenal.

A few days later I stopped back and discovered they were serving pineapple soft serve topped with chamoy sauce. Don’t sleep on it! It was one of the biggest surprises of the trip. From what I could tell, the soft serve flavors rotate, so if you see one that sounds good, get it.

Popular with both locals and visitors, Java Kai has become a must visit every time I’m on Kauai.“

“hands down the best coffee shop on the north shore and i would even say across the island. if you care about nourishing your body with top quality and intentionally sourced ingredients, this is it. i mean c’mon they offer fresh coconut milk to add in your drinks and it IS worth the up charge. i am personally obsessed w their mintcha chip matcha. and their avo toast is life giving. the owner jackson makes it a priority to offer and support local businesses which is so important for the community, as community is everything on this little rock. TRILOGYYYY forever“

“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.“

“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!“

“The coffee here was yummy! The service was a bit slow, but still good. The staff was friendly and gave recommendations. The view was beautiful and the vibes were relaxing. It is within a resort so it is very fancy and a little corporate looking with the design, but VERY well done. Good option for coffee!“
