I loved their mocha’s, signature beverages, and lattes.
The Kona coffee is expensive but good coffee is worth it, in my opinion. The hardest thing is making a quick decision on what to order. By after getting the hang of it, we understood how they build a custom coffee drink and moved along faster. I prefer the Americano base, hot or cold, with either almond or oat milk. We prefer the Snickerlicous and Almond Coconut Specialty Beverage.
You can add pumps of coffee flavors like caramel, hazelnut, rum, coconut … AND get them in a sugar-free version.
The blueberry muffin was a nice complement if you want onsite baked goods. They are not as fresh as when ordering at a bakery, but okay. I preferred the prepacked Hawaiian snack bars readily available at the cashier – especially the coconut almond bar. They offer espresso drinks that taste delicious, smooth and aren’t bitter. Hot beverages came in 12oz, 16oz, and 20oz size options; cold beverages in 16oz, and 24oz size options.
A wide variety of packaged coffees are available for purchase. No indoor seating; it’s a rather small space. Most is used for operating their business. There are a few tables on the front deck with a rather fun and funky décor. Expect a long line during peak coffee times. Going early between 6 and 6:30 AM let you beat the crowd. I’d suggest having someone grab a table while someone else goes in and places the order. Menu options are also posted outside at the right of the front door. I find that it’s well worth the wait for an unusual and exceptional coffee experience! The staff fills and process orders quickly.
We liked the baristas cater and gained several smiles during the process of ordering and pickup. Parking is a challenge in this popular vacation destination. We were fortunate to be within walking distance. We met a few local residents as well who stated that its their local favorite place to...
   Read moreStopped in for a quick caffeine fix and walked out with the swagger of a Hawaiian donkey who’s had their life turned around by a really good latte. This place lives up to the name — bold coffee, chill vibes, and zero nonsense.
The coffee? Smooth, strong, and will absolutely kick you into gear. I got a cold brew that could wake a sleeping volcano. They’ve got a great selection too — whether you’re into straight-up espresso or want something iced, blended, and topped with enough whipped cream to qualify as dessert.
The staff were awesome — friendly, fast, and clearly running on the good stuff. No coffee snobs here, just laid-back energy and solid recommendations. I asked what I should try and was immediately pointed to their signature drinks like it was a sacred duty. Respect.
The Hawaiian theme adds to the whole vibe — laid-back, sunny, and just beachy enough to make you forget you have responsibilities. The decor says “island getaway,” even if you’re just taking a break from traffic on Highway 98.
Whether you're fueling up for a day at the beach or just need to feel something stronger than hotel breakfast coffee, this place delivers. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to sit down, sip slowly, and pretend you’re not checking work emails on vacation.
Highly recommend — the only thing stronger than the coffee is the temptation to come back the...
   Read moreI was so excited to check out this place for their claims of serving Hawaiian coffee. Apparently people like them for their syrups flavored drinks, which are not real coffee to me. Unfortunately everything except of the friendly girl taking the order - was a big disappointment :(
Only one person out of 3 employees at that time at the store (it was this morning around 9.30am) was wearing a mask! Not to mention the only pandemic related signs they have - are the once on the floor (nothing about requiring masks to enter etc). Bigger half of the customers are without masks too! Felt totally unsafe in this big line and jammed space. Stay away if you are following science recommendations and want to be safe
Only common use sugar/sweetener! Hello! It’s pandemic time and this approach exposes your clients both masked and unmasked to a virus contamination risk! Had to drink my coffee unsweetened
Coffee (large 4 espresso shots cappuccino) - tasked barely like one shot and lots of milk and no foam! Drink didn’t have any flavor to it either. I don’t like Starbucks cappuccinos but Starbucks coffee taste is way better. I doubt big time there’s any Hawaiian beans in what I got. Moreover my order was ready after the order of the person behind me who also had a hot drink + food item. I wonder why?! Also over $6 for a plain tasteless cappuccino is a...
