They make a tasty cappuccino ... they don't use kauai coffee beans (a common theme) but the coffee is still quite good. Par for the course because, as you know, Hawaii makes great coffee...

Don't respect service dog laws from the owner. Although the service is spectacular from baristas and the coffee is pretty good.

Lovely to find a shop roasting beans. Would really have liked to see a light roast in the mix. Really unusual variety combinations. Tried the drip coffee and it was pretty good.

Returned here to buy a bag of coffee beans, and ordered an espresso. They did something very odd. Sometimes, a small strip of lemon zest is served on the side as a garnish with an espresso, and you rub it on the rim of the cup. Here, the barista pulled my espresso shot, then squeezed a wedge of lemon juice into the coffee. I wasn't sure I saw her do it until I took a sip and wondered WTF, it's sour. Who puts lemon juice in coffee? If you order an espresso here, watch out for this.

Latte was really good. The atmosphere is also nice. Not many seats though.

Great local coffee spot in Poipu. Best tasting coffee I had in the area, definitely recommend! They also have tables/chairs to sit and enjoy.

Delicious coffee and tea. Their building is a really cool historic building in keeping with the "old town" area. It has the most amazingly beautiful tree out front that canopies the entrance and part of their parking area. Relaxing vibe!

Local coffee roaster with very solid and strong cold brew. Cappuccino was very good too. Some pastries like brownie or muffins are available to go with drinks. Nice and quiet atmosphere inside, few tables available outdoors as well. Plenty of parking on the premises.
This little coffee shop was a staple for my morning routine while on Kauai. Quality coffee.

We enjoyed a brew here our first AM in Kauai and brought home so fresh ground coffee to enjoy the remainder of the week. The place itself is big and open with some outdoor seating if you choose to stay awhile. Friendly and personable staff. Great stop to get some Java before or after you hit up the grocery across the street for the week!

This was a hip spot to work or study with delicious caffeinated drinks. There was a handful of tables in the shop but tables were all taken when we got there. We waited a bit and one opened up, but be aware there may not be open seating. They could use more seating considering the large space. The matcha was delicious and perfect for the rainy day. The barista was also friendly and efficient.

Dark Horse Coffee Roasters is one of my Kauai's fav coffee shops. Their drinks always taste good and pastries are fresh and flavorful. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is craving an afternoon coffee with a great lemon cake.
