The funny thing about this place is that it's called the ALOHA Roastery but no more aloha. Lady looked irritated when we were ordering and when she couldn't understand what we were saying rudely said "what?!" paired with the annoyed face. The drink is good. Can still taste the coffee and the flavors don't overwhelm. read more

Yep, I'll be coming here multiple times during our week stay! The roast is so smooth and the prices are amazingly reasonable. Order a honey latte if you want a sweet-but-not-too-sweet start to your day. The only disappointment was that they were out of macadamia syrup. Hoping it's back in stock before I leave so I can give the Mac nut latte a try! read more

Came here on vacation and it did not disappoint. As a frequent coffee house fanatic, the beans are high quality and service is very good. I got the coconut latte and blueberry muffin and both were exceptional! read more

I love this cafe near the airport! We just did the helicopter tour when we were looking for a coffee nearby the airport and found this place. Tried iced beige and it was very good. My friend liked his drip/brewed coffee, too so the next day before going to the airport to fly to Honolulu - we dropped by again to grab our quality drinks from this place. There's a lot of parking spaces and the cafe is spacious, tho restrooms are outside. The baristas are cool. Oh, try their cruffin (Pastry) when you go, it's such a treat! read more

Want a good espresso true cappuccino here is your place. Non of the fluff straight up a good espresso. I mostly stop here for the Kouign-amann. Moist on the inside flaky on the outside with macadamia nuts. It's not bad service here but I feel like the staff are a lil shy not very talkative. They sure can make a great latte. read more

Coffee, at it's core, is a simple endeavor. It's hot bean juice served to you with some moo water too. That being said, this felt like one of the few third wave coffee shops that exists on the island. I wanted to find an issue with this spot, because I'm always looking for something to be critical over. With the exception of the matcha shortage, they pretty much served all of my needs. I didn't get any pastries, but they looked really good. The decor was great. It was a light wood accented sterile floor concrete look. I gotta say, I love that kind of vibe. The service was great! It was a little busier when we walked in, and there were a few people in line, but it moved quickly, and we ordered promptly as such. I got my standard short iced latte (or an iced flat white), and waited patiently. It came out soon, and I started to sip! Super inoffensive and tasty. It felt like a very middle ground medium roast espresso, so no complaints there! Good stuff, I say. If you want that 3rd Wave experience, this is certainly one way to do it on the island! read more

Such a gem! I was visiting and found this place! The people were so nice and coffee was made perfect. read more

4.5 stars. Generously priced AND proper espresso? I'm impressed. What I got: Iced caramel latte for $5.49. They were out of macnut syrup which was the only thing on my mind during our 10 hour flight. Quite disappointing, but I was still understanding about it. After all, $5.49 for perfectly pulled, beautifully roasted shots of espresso? Kinda hard to be upset for too long. Atmosphere: The earth tones in here are beautiful. Simple, not boring. Clean, decent amount of seats/tables. Service: The girl taking orders was pretty standard, but the lady making the drinks was very bubbly and had a pretty smile! read more

matcha - this is my favorite matcha latte on kauai! great ratio of milk to matcha flavor, and i personally like adding vanilla syrup or honey. service - usually pretty quick and easy, but when it gets busy it can get a little slower and orders can get mixed up, but i feel like that's pretty normal for a cafe ambiance - nice, clean place to get some work done. not a whole lot of seating here but i can usually get lucky finding a seat pretty quickly read more

We were tired and needed some coffee before our boat trip to the Na Pali Coast. It was so early it was actually colder outside, we got up before the sun. We ordered two pour overs and the girl told us it would be 5 minutes. 15 minutes later and almost having to leave without our coffee I asked about it. She was taking other people's orders instead of making the coffee. She was in charge of making it, even though she's at the register and there is another barista making drinks. He was making orders after ours first while we waited for her to take new orders. She wasn't friendly or apologetic. She wasn't happy I asked about our order either. The coffee wasn't good. I didn't even drink mine. I wouldn't recommend. The pastries were good, but that's not enough. read more

Tried the kouign aman today, it was different from any other because it contained caramelized macadamia nuts in it!!! Had the Mac nut latte which was okay would have liked a stronger coffee flavor it was super milky. Wouldn't recommend. Service was quick they also had some blueberry muffins and cinnamon honey scones out. The pastries here are just divine. read more

Needed to get coffee before our drive out to the north side so we stopped here since it didn't look too busy. Once inside, you'll find a cute simple coffee shop, not many seating available but open space. The menu to simple, and the pastries are located in a glass covered case. The girls inside didn't acknowledge us as we walked in, and while standing by the register ready to order, the girls still didn't acknowledge us. One girl finally came to take our order. I didn't know what the iced beige was, so she said, "it's just like a caramel blended drink". My daughter also ordered a kouign amann. Once our drink was ready, the girl just placed it on the counter and didn't even say anything. Mind you, there were just one other customer inside. I had to remind the girl of our pastry, so just goes, "oh yeah" grabs it and places it in the bag. She didn't even offer to toast it or even say thanks! Anyway, the drink was alright, not sweet at all. The pastry could've been better if toasted. Service was very poor considering it is in a tourist area too. read more

Went to Aloha Rostery yesterday and had the best pastry I've had anywhere in the world, including Paris. The place looks unassuming, but just wait till you try a latte & pastry here. Made in house daily. I had something called Kouign Amann, flaky crunchy deliciousness! Shhh..don't tell anyone..this place is $$$! read more

This is the only single source roastery I've found. They know what espresso should be and they make it right. No blends and they roasted it fresh and light that week. I love their big retro machine but I was impressed with the knowledge of the baristas. This is the only place I will get coffee. Right now they are featuring papau new ginea beans that are amazing but they rotate whatever is seasonal and freshly picked. read more

We stopped in here as soon as we got off the plane in Lihue. Really needed a pick-me-up to get us through the extra hours of our travel day! Very close to the airport, and open until 3 PM. Very clean, minimalist atmosphere with a few places to sit and a short menu, but don't let that fool you. The coffee is roasted right there and is of excellent quality. The iced mocha with an extra shot, for a total of three shots, did the trick for me and was not too sweet. The staff is friendly and willing to answer your questions. :) read more

This place is aesthetically appealing and has that unfinished Scandinavian look. As a person who doesn't drink coffee, I thoroughly enjoyed the ice matcha latte. It comes default with whole cow milk, but there are non dairy substitutions (at an extra cost). It looked like a popular spot. A lot of people were ordering the mac nut coffee, and that looked good as well. read more

Okay this is a coffee. A cappuccino breve. The girls crushed it. On par with the best I have had in NYC, Seattle, LA, Paris and London. It is a cap breve. I love when something is universally consistent and delicious when done right. It is a home away from home for those of us constantly on the go and thus find continuity and stability through little rituals like that perfect cap breve first thing in the morning. Puts a smile on my face and pep in my step. Music is lovely and not too loud but sets ambiance. Not as many tables to work on which is odd as they definitely have the space. But maybe that's the vibe? I think it could stand for more work tops cos I would live here. They didn't even have to warm up the pastry as it was fresh and hot still. Quick service. read more

Zero stars! This place SUCKS!! Horrible customer service & girls take FOREVER to make one latte!!

General: 100% recommend if you're a true coffee lover. Food: The coffee was great! It's a great grade of coffee. Not watered down. I had a Mac Nut Latte. It was pretty good. Not too sweet. My husband who does like sweeter drinks got an iced vanilla cappuccino and just asked for a few more pumps of vanilla and he really enjoyed his as well! The pastries!!! Omg. The CH scone was DELISH! I also got the Mac Nut filled croissant like pastry. I forgot the name (oops) but also veerryyy good. Service: there was a small line when I arrived a little after they opened. One barista there taking orders, checking out and making drinks. So, it took a little while but not unbearable. She worked at a good pace. Atmosphere: minimalist. Clean. Very cute. read more

Very bright and clean interior. Great people work here. The barista knows how to make great coffee. They roast their own coffee, which is very high quality.

Visited after noon and it wasnt busy. Only a couple people working on laptops, but had room for a spot to enjoy my coffee for a bit. I ordered the iced beige. Not too sugary and felt like half ice, half coffee. The drink had less acidity than regular coffee. read more

Aloha! After being up since 3am to make it first thing to Kauai, we had to get coffee. We searched for a coffee place and we decided to come and pay them a visit. As I walked towards the coffee shop, I noticed a young lady making croissants from scratch. I was shocked to see that because most of the time, croissants are not made at home they are brought in. I was excited to see how they made the croissants because I also make them by hand and it is good to see how other people do them. We walk in and the croissants are massive. I order my coffee to go with the croissant and the coffee was great! The barista even made a design and you normally don't see that. At least I don't. If you love croissants this place it is for you!

Creamiest choy chocolate and cappuccino I've ever had. Parking lot is pretty janky and it can be busy but it's totally worth it. The family said the muffin and croissant were to die for. Ladies running the show were nice and it's a cool joint. Limited seating but enough to cover the traffic. If I had i had one boggle, it would be that everything was served to go. read more

Found this coffee shop on yelp and was excited to try it! It's located on the corner of a shopping plaza so there's plenty of parking. It does not have a visible sign from the highway so we drove around the parking lot a few times looking for it. It's a very modern and trendy style coffee shop. Lots of simple white and black decor. I knocked down a star because the staff was super short and not friendly at all. When I asked questions the cashier cut me off and seemed annoyed that I was even there! Apparently they only serve one size for their coffee. It's like a 16oz I believe. The staff created a very unwelcoming vibe... The coffee was good. Their espresso is light and smooth. They have milk substitutes and syrups for flavor. They do not have sugar free syrups but you can ask for half sweet (only 1 pump). I ordered a latte with almond milk and 1 pump of mac nut syrup. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. The staff ruined my experience. read more

This is a really cool modern spot to grab some coffee. I enjoyed the clean look and simple design, which gave off the perfect aesthetic. There is some seating, but it's not necessarily the type of place I'd want to sit at all day. The menu was fairly classic, with less funky options than some of the other coffee spots I've seen on the island. I would have enjoyed if they had a few more Hawaiian-inspired menu offerings, but that didn't seem to be their niche. This shop is located on a main road, so it's a convenient spot if you're traveling between the north/south and want to stop for a quick caffeinated beverage on your way. The staff here was nice and friendly as well! Overall, I'd recommend if you're looking for a good quality coffee on the go. read more

This was bascailly our go-to coffee shop. It helped that they open early because we were working east coast hours. The coffee beans weren't from kauai, but the coffee was still excellent. Their pastries were also really suprisingly excellent- the kuign aman and scones especially. This is an all-around great for the area. read more

Wow - SIMPLY SUPERB!! Small, inconspicuous, difficult to find the right entrance, but OMG - Once you are in the door you have arrived in a unique paradise. The coffee is of course as exceptional as the service - but it is in the incredible quality of their baked goods that the Aloha Roastery truly shines. There are only 4-5 menu choices but that is more than enough to keep you and your caffeine happy forever. I LOVE Aloha Roastery and make sure to stop in whenever I'm nearby. Keep up your incredible work!! read more

What an unassuming and sumptuous space! Minimalism finds its resonance here in a space that feels like a pilates studio evolved into a retro, elegant café. The matcha is vibrant, balanced, and smooth. The service is fast and clean. The menu design itself is a thing to behold. We are planning on returning enough times in 4d to get a free cup of coffee after buying 10. An unexpected gem! read more

Tried the kouign amans (sp?) & various croissants. They were very flaky and tasty. I wish the kouign amans were more gooey. My complaint is the total lack of aloha from the 2 workers when we went in. Talk about service without a hint of a smile or warmth. 5 stars for pastries, 0 stars for aloha (ironic as the store name is ALOHA Roastery)! read more

Ended up here on a Monday when the diner we were headed for was closed. Walked in and thought oh no, no decaf today? Then got pastries and something called a cruffin. It is to die for! Amazing. The scone and chocolate croissant also great. But try the cruffin folks! read more

Aloha Roastery - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

One of my favorite coffee spots I visited during my trip and conveniently located near the airport. Everything's reasonably priced and would definitely recommend coming here for your coffee fix. They also serve a small selection of fresh pastries baked in-house! Just make sure to get there earlier before they run out. Got an iced Mac Nut Latte (w/ almond milk) and I liked that it didn't taste too sweet and had a strong coffee taste. You do get a slight nuttiness, but I didn't really get much macadamia flavor specifically. Still really good though and I'd order this again. Their Iced Beige was also really good if you're in the mood for a sweet drink. It's an iced caramel latte that's blended until super smooth. So pretty much a much better frappuccino. The only non-dairy substitution available is almond milk for an additional $0.50. Lactose-free milk is available as an option as well. read more
