9 Best Coffee Shops in Lihue

“11 out of 10... The coffee is great and organic, but the service is OUTSTANDING, AMAZING, and outright the BEST I have ever had. Seriously, everyone in here is so helpful, happy, and out going...even Beau, the owner, came out and talked with us for a while and shared their story, I feel like I could not be supporting a better place. If I were a local, I would be getting coffee ☕️ here everyday, it certainly made my day today. I will definitely go back to get some coffee and visit when I come back to the island of Kauai! I really wish this shop was in our hometown or had one that was even close to the good vibes this place has. It is hard to come by and spot this cool! Mahalo to Beau Jo & the crew! ?“

“Here’s what to order: Banana late + parmesan bagel with cheddar bacon cream cheese + macadamia nut banana bread.

My preferred ratio of bagel to cream cheese is 1 to 1 and they give you plenty and then some. Tons of bagel flavors and cream cheeses to choose from. Wish we had more time to try the gorgeous cinnamon rolls and other sweets.“

“We love these waffles. A family favorite and we always recommend it to visitors. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Must try the pog drizzle and coconut infused whipped cream with your waffles and fruit. Oh man! Like no other waffle you've ever had. Light and crispy. Delicious!“

“Amazing cafe! My husband and I had the matcha and mocha and both agreed that they were the best ones we’ve had so far on our trip to Hawaii. Super friendly staff as well!

Edit: We came back two more times. Such an amazing quality cafe!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“
