    “Stopped by Rainbeau Jo's in Lihue and it was the perfect start to our Kauai morning — bright, cheerful, and full of island vibes. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that happy food-truck energy that instantly puts you in a good mood. The Jimmy Pesto bagel with housemade pesto cream cheese was fresh and so flavorful. The Brahvocado — smashed avocado, local tomato, sprouts, and cracked pepper on a toasty croissant — was a vegetarian standout. We also loved the chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll from their Orly's Patisserie partnership — flaky and delicious. The Kauai Sunrise smoothie tasted like the island in a cup, and the coffee was excellent. Service was warm and full of aloha; Beau and Jo clearly love what they do, and it shows in every detail. Great food quality, fair prices, and such a joyful little spot — five stars, highly recommended!”

    “Great little coffee spot just a short walk from the beach, close to the Marriott. The coffee is really good and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The doughnuts are tasty too, and the breakfast-to-go bites seem to be a local favourite, with plenty of people grabbing them on the way out. My only complaint is that the place feels a bit tired and worn out. The ceiling fan had a thick layer of dust on it, which is such an easy fix: a quick clean or a cheap replacement would make a real difference. Small details like that take away from what is otherwise a lovely place. Still, for the coffee, the doughnuts and the people, it's worth a stop”

The baked goods were heavenly, Kouign Amann (croissant meets macadamia nut and honey) is a MUST!! Next fav choice personally was the cinnamon scone. Opens relatively early for your early adventures when most “breakfast” options are closed”

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!!!”

    “Delicious acai bowls! This was our first stop after arriving in Kauai. We ordered the Kauaiian bowl, Kailea bowl, and the Green Giant. The fruit was deliciously fresh, especially the mango in the Kailea bowl! However, I was very disappointed with the Green Giant. The first ingredient listed was matcha, so I assumed this was a matcha latte with some sort of sweetener. Apparently dalgona is coffee, so the drink was half matcha half coffee. I don't drink coffee, so I ended up tossing half my drink. They have some chairs and picnic bench seating for you to enjoy your food or drink, including a covered area.”

    Blank Street Coffee Lands in Los Angeles, With Ice Cream on the Way

    Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News. The Brooklyn-born coffee and matcha chain opened its first West Coast cafe on Aug. 12 at 13273 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighborhood with deep roots in the entertainment business.

  • Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
