We got spoiled by Alba experiencing a cortado for the first time while visiting Maui. My fiance has been on a hunt ever since all over the US to find a comparable cortado and we just can’t!

I am on island again and had to share that with Alba. She loves her product so much and believes in it, and it shows!! Anytime anyone puts that much love into what they create, it really sets them above the rest.

Her Cuban colada stand is a must must must visit. She’s been making these drinks for 25+ years! Go see her and be ready to join the club of being ruined by how epic her drinks are compared to the rest.

Amazing! Aroma wafts thru the tropical breeze of Kula all the way to the car. I was lucky to make it in time for a caffeine fix since I am a late morning person. The decore is so authentic to the Cuban heritage, and so is the owner. She is so proud of her product and takes her time for each specific order of dark gold in a cup. Small businesses rock!!!! Warning: if you are a frequent Starbuck’s customer, it will never be the same once you’ve tried this experience!

The best coffee on Maui—very smooth and creamy! As someone from Miami, it reminds me of my grandmother’s Cuban coffee. The aroma coming from this is incredible, and the empanadas are packed with flavor. This place is as authentic as it gets!

Albas Cuban coladas cart truly offers an incredible and authentic experience that’s hard to find anywhere else, especially in Maui. The rich, bold flavors of their coffee, crafted using traditional methods, transports every customer straight to Cuba. At least it made me feel that way; after the owner of the cart shared the beautiful and inspiring story of where the name “Albas” came from.

So amazing to travel across the world and experience the immense pride the locals take in their business’s. It’s incredibly unique. Albas Cuban coladas is a very unique gem in the heart of Maui. The ONLY good coffee you’ll taste in the island bringing a taste of culture and community that you won't find at any other spot. I truly invite everyone to come and experience the magic for themselves. Thank you Christina, for the hospitality and the sweet stories shared. My family and I can’t wait to be back!

While visiting Maui, I had a chance to stop by Alba’s truck on my way back from the farmer’s market. I love Cuban food and Cuban coffee so I had to give this a try and ordered a colada. I’ll start by saying I’ve spent time in both Miami and Havana, Cuba where I’ve had a chance to sample some outstanding Cuban coffee and Alba’s is as good or better than the best ones I’ve had Havana.

The coffee is smooth without a bitter or harsh aftertaste and has just the right amount of sugar and sweetness that you would want in cafecito or colada. I enjoyed the first one so much that I had to get 2 more for the road and later in the day! This will definitely be a stop for me every time I am in the area.

Our favorite cafecito on Maui! Alba’s is true the authenticity of a strong Cuban coffee. The atmosphere and the conversation are also a highlight for us! We are faithful customers every Saturday morning! ☕️ 💖🥟 also the empanadas taste lime home!
