35 Best Coffee Shops near Kapaa

“I was on my way to a different coffee place this morning but decided to stop here. The service was great. Coffee has great taste and I had a slice of the blueberry loaf and it melts in your mouth!“

“Delicious food and coffee drinks! A must visit if you are on vacation. Worth the wait in line.“

“Great local roaster that knows how to roast to bring out the natural varietal profile. This was our go to morning cup everyday while vacationing in Kauai. You can get any bean on the menu as a pour over. It was my first time trying coffees from Thailand and India. The baristas know how to pull an espresso shot. Nice crema and rich flavor. Not knocking the iconic Kauai Coffee, but if you like coffee that's roasted to bring out flavor profiles natural to the bean, Imua is the place for you. ☕“

“This is the absolute greatest thing I could have ever discovered. My skin is extremely sensitive, but does not react to this product badly at all! My only wish is that we could get promo codes for future orders! Other than that, it's perfect!“

“The barista was friendly, they were open early on the holiday when no one else was, and most importantly: I had the best latte in existence! SO GOOD.“

“Best Loco Moco at Kauaii!!!“

“Great place to grab coffee! We stopped by at this place recently to grab a pick me up drink. It’s located inside a supermarket.
We ordered iced vanilla latte. The staff is friendly and the service was fast. Their coffee is decent - nothing special.
This place is located near the beach so you can grab a drink and walk along the beach.
They have a variety of milk tea options too!“

“Nice ambiance and tasty food , they are so friendly and inviting.we ordered spicy grilled chicken rice plate they made it fresh it was yummy.we also tried local fruit which is amazing , it was like the blend of custard apple,lemon and mango must try.Prices are reasonable here“

“We came here for breakfast a couple of times during our stay in Kapa'a. I'm not sure if it was a temporary thing but the entire time we were there, they didn't have any of the regular McDonald's breakfast items except pancakes, hash browns and the eggs from the Big Breakfast. The eggs are served with rice, Spam and/or Portuguese sausage and they give you a packet of soy sauce. I'm not a fan of Spam but the sausage was good. They put way too much rice though, at least for me.The service was always good so no complaints there and it was conveniently located right by our hotel.“

“The energy of this coffee shop is INFECTIOUS. If you are having a bad day, come here and grab some coffee and you’ll leave in a better mood than you came in. I guarantee. The guy at the front counter might be the happiest person I’ve ever met in my life, in the best way!
Cute merch (tshirts and hats) and some super cool stickers.
Coffee was amazing! Some of the best we had on Kauai. My latte was as smooth as butter.“

“Best hot Matcha I found on the Island during my 2 weeks stay. It was made fresh to order which you could taste as well as the high quality Matcha being used.
Service was very good and the atmosphere welcoming
Also the location is nicely decorated and peaceful with some tables to sit for a while“

“Really efficient staff. Pretty impressive and doesn’t seem to operate on “island time.”

We were in a bit of a rush but stopped in anyway once we saw how fast the line was moving.

Got the sunshine smoothie. Perfect. Not too tart or sweet. Went back a few days later to get it again.“

“AMAZING! The best waffle I have ever had!“

“The banana matcha is way better than the strawberry matcha. Their matcha drinks don’t have a strong matcha flavor that’s my only complaint. But there syrups are homemade! Their energy bars are delicious and well priced. Update: I tried the Hawaii Latte and it’s a 5 star drink(everyone needs to try)“

“Wired Monkey smoothie was great. Glad they are still in business.“

“This is probably the most legit croissant we’ve ever had in Hawaii. Flaky outside and soft layers inside. Delicious! And the coffee is excellent, too! My husband got a great Americano and I loved my iced latte—and I can be very persnickety. This place was a fun surprise! Well done, Aloha Roastery!“

“Sunrise Coffee is a great spot to start your day! I throughly enjoyed the matcha latte, açaí bowl, and donuts. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“Great coffee spot with an impressive selection of drinks and food. Their bagel sandwiches are ridiculously good — we had the Surfer Girl sandwich and it was finger-licking delicious! The açaí bowl was also super refreshing. Definitely worth a visit!“

“OK - where to begin. So my family and are were on the island for the holidays this year and were traveling to Hā'ena State Park one morning. Stopping by Trilogy for coffee and something quick to eat, we would up having the best Avocado toast we've ever had. Our group of 5 each had it and loved it. Since being home we have tried to recreate it, but it hasn't really worked out for us. On a side note, after we ordered our food in the store, my son noticed a hat for sale. We had a quick turnaround time and couldn't get back in line, so I told him we'd go back later that day to buy it. The day got too busy and by the time we arrived back in the area, the store was closed. I contacted the owner through Instagram a few days later to see if I could buy the hat and he was more than accommodating. I was able to get it and buy some coffee to be sent home to Pennsylvania. Everything arrived quickly and our overall experience with the food, coffee and kindness of the owner all added up to something we won't soon forget. Highly recommend if you are on the island. Thank you!“

“Our family very recently vacationed in Kauai to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. I had reached out to Ko Bakery several weeks before our trip to have a cake made to surprise my parents. We chose the Haupia with Lime buttercream and also got a dozen cupcakes (yellow cake with chocolate buttercream) for the kiddos. The cake and cupcakes were AMAZING!!!! Their customer service is incredible (especially since we were communicating through email) and pick up was a breeze. I highly recommend Ko Bakery!!!“

“Everything here is incredible. We love, love, love this place. The food is so fresh, delicious and organic.“

“The barista that took my order and made my drink was so kind and so quick. I think her name was Shanelle. She took the time to get to know me and ask what kind of drink I was craving because I didn’t know what I wanted. She asked how my day was and she made me feel so special. I would definitely come back.“

“We had a cold brew with coconut cream and an açaí bowl. Both were wonderful!
The lady was kind and helpful.
Thank you for NOT adding unnecessary sweeteners or juice to the smoothie part!
There is a nice covered area to sit while enjoying the treats.“

“Amazing food! Try the pancake sticks!“

“The Hawaiian Tropic was to die for!! Sad I went at the end of my trip because this was the best coffee we had on island, if not EVER! Pastries were super good and fresh. The shop itself was so cute and aesthetic, and I LOVED the heart straws. Definitely a must go“

“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!“

“Maile enjoying her very first Puppiccino. She loved it it! Thank you Starbucks!“

“I don’t care what anyone says. This is my all time favorite little store to go to for treats and drinks. Their boba is AMAZING!! If anyone says other wise are the stupidest people ever. This place is so underrated!!! It’s deserves more customers!!! And the price you pay for is amazingly good in my price of what I want!!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly! Love the atmosphere!“

“Wonderful coffee. Very nice and relaxing place🌷“

“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.“

“McDonald’s Lihue ,HI Serve good quality food ,we serve just cook I’m the one crew w/In six years I love this job but most off all cleanliness we follow the rules for the safe of costumers n us as workers“

“We met a local who told us this was a must try since we wanted ice cream. It's really tiny, tucked into the Princeville shopping center. There is literally only room for about 4 customers at a time and it is set up just like an old school ice cream shop. You can see the selection through the glass and they give free samples of whatever you want before you purchase.

There are about 16 different varieties of ice cream and it seemed like there was something for everyone. From traditional favorites like Mint Chip and Vanilla Bean to sorbets and fun island flavors like coconut pineapple, mango, and Kauai cookie, I had a tough time deciding! But don't worry, there is a 5 scoop sampler if you can’t decide or just want to try a bunch of flavors with friends and family.

They also have either a waffle cone or chocolate dipped options. I got the macadamia nut in a cup, simple and delicious on a hot day. It was silly smooth with full sized macadamia nuts. So so good! My daughter got the Oreo chocolate cookie crunch in a waffle cone and she loved it. It was way too sweet for me, extra decadent with chocolate ice cream and huge chunks of Oreo.
But dang was the waffle cone good! So delicate and flaky, yet it held up well while she enjoyed the ice cream.

I did see someone get iced coffee, but can't comment as we stopped at Outpost Coffee just up the road for coffee beforehand.

Overall this quaint little ice cream shop is worth the stop and the perfect treat on a hot day! !“
