Caramel Macnut with cheese foam
Grace A.

It taste good Taking orders just slow But they are fast Its worth the wait I'm gonna keep coming back.

I stopped by here earlier today for my morning coffee. Whenever I go on vacation I try to hit up a new coffee shop every morning and on this morning I ended up heading over to Early Bird Coffee. This location is a stand in a parking lot right off of South Kihei Road and I had driven by it a couple of times earlier in the trip. True to its name, it is open at 6 AM and when I arrived shortly after opening, I was the only person there. There were two employees working and I ended up ordering a 12 oz ube and coconut latte. My coffee here ended up being pretty good. I got the earthiness from the ube along with some sweetness from the coconut. The creaminess also seemed to come from the coconut. The coffee itself was present as well and had a strong, rich flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I like that Early Bird is open at 6 AM and the coffee I had here was good as well.

Matcha chai

3 WORDS: MUST GO HERE! :) We recently visited Maui for 4 days and visited 3 out of the 4 days (it would've been 4/4 days but they were closed on our last day hehe). Our first experience was so great that all we could talk about was how we're going back again the next day. A little cart off of Kīhei Rd, they made the area welcoming and inviting with a few benches/tables and a little covering. The staff were super friendly and answered all of our questions. They serve coffee, teas, and specialty vietnamese coffee. Their flavor pairings peaked our interest, we've never seen a place with Pandan or Chai Matcha. They were so intriguing it could be either a miss or a hit. We wanted to try them all. They also serve food but we didn't get any. The croffles I saw on Yelp looked amazing but unfortunately they were sold out when we were there. We tried the Chai Matcha, White Chocolate Hazlenut, Black Sesame Coffee, Ube Coffee, and Pandan Coffee. The ube coffee felt a little too light on the ube flavor for me. Our favorites were the Chai Matcha, Black Sesame Coffee and Pandan Coffee. Balanced, flavorful, and ones we will savor in our memory until we can have it again.

coconut vietnamese coffee
Grace Y.

LOVED this place! Really cute coffee truck in Kīhei with wonderful Vietnamese coffee and matcha option. So good we had to come back twice. Recommend getting the coconut coffee (the coconut flavor is in the cream on top) and the matcha chai (surprisingly good combo, especially if you like chai). They hand whisk their matcha!

Early bird coffee is so delicious. I got the americano with coconut foam and my friend got americano with pan-dan foam. Both were so delicious. Bitter at first but flavors blend nicely the more you drink. (I got it two days during my stay because so good.) also tried the Italian panini it was on good sourdough bread and just MWAH. Friendly service and answered questions well. There was a line both times I went because it is so good the people must go

Coconut ube latte
Steve C.

Very good, extremely strong lattes. I had the iced coconut and ube latte. It was delicious. Smooth, strong flavors. The guy warned me it's 4 shots in a 16oz cup. I'd get two shots next time. The 4 shots gave me a wicked headache. My wife got the Saigon and the black sesame (and wanted to try both) and they were both solid. I think I liked the Saigon the most. Service is island paced. The line was pretty long and we waited about 20 minutes. No biggie if you're not in a rush.

Pandan Vietnamese coffee
Rina C.

I stopped by Early Bird Coffee and loved how many unique coffee options they had. There were so many I wanted to try, but I ended up ordering the pandan coffee and the black sesame white mocha. Both were really good, but if I had to pick a favorite, the pandan coffee definitely stood out to me. I came around 10:00 AM and there were about three people ahead of me. The wait was a little long -- roughly 15-20 minutes before I was able to order and get my drink. It's conveniently located, but it was starting to get pretty hot since there aren't many shaded spots to stand while waiting. I did like the little decor and the mirror where you can take a quick selfie. Other than the wait, I don't really have anything negative to say. I'd definitely come back and try more drinks next time.

Ube Vietnamese Coffee
Indi E.

Showed up about 7:30am, with one customer waiting for her order. Customer service? She was super sweet and friendly! Best ube Vietnamese coffee I've had in a cool minute! I try not to come back twice to the same coffee shop when I travel, but I might have to come back to this one. The "croffle" was good. Good in flavor, I absolutely LOVE ube, although might be better warm. Which would have been an easy fix had I gone back to my Air BnB, but I was headed out for the day. Cute little stand, and I'd overall recommend!

Blueberry matcha with cold foam
Tina H.

have yet to find a good matcha place here in maui. This place is top tier. I can drink this everyday! Excited to come back and try the mango sticky rice

Anya R.

Got the pandan latte and coconut ube latte and both were amazing. My new favorite coffee on island. Service was friendly too! There was a bit of a wait, but totally worth it.

Ube Vietnamese Coffee
Maria P.

Early Bird Coffee is a fresh face in Kihei's food trailer scene, and it's already making waves--with good reason. This charming little trailer is quickly building a loyal following thanks to its fun, aesthetic drinks. On my first visit, I had a bit of decision fatigue (everything sounded too good) and ended up ordering the Black Sesame White Chocolate Mocha, one of their signature drinks. While it was good and well-balanced with that nutty sesame, I had immediate drink envy after tasting my other half's Ube Vietnamese Coffee. It stole my heart--thicker and slightly sweet with a deeper, tastier flavor profile that really hits the spot. So, I got that on my following visits and it hasn't disappointed! They also offer a small selection of food, like croffles on a stick (yes, that's a croissant-waffle hybrid, and yes, it's as fun as it sounds) and sourdough paninis that are perfect for a light bite. I'll have to try these in the future! A fair warning though: word is clearly out. The lines can get very long. On one visit, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes. While that might test your patience pre-caffeine, I was honestly happy to see a small business thriving on our island. Hopefully as they grow, they'll find a rhythm that keeps the line moving without losing their charm. Just bring a little patience! All in all, Early Bird Coffee is absolutely worth a visit--whether you're a local or just cruising through Kihei. I just wish they were a bit closer to me, haha.

Drove by this place a bunch of times before we just got curious enough to try it. It's a little shack off of South Kihei Road typically with a pretty sizable line. We parked in the lot but there was a little street parking available too. We loved the coffee a lot here. We visited two mornings in a row. Got the Pandan, Black Sesame, Ube, and Saigon coffees. Very good, price was decent, and just the sweetness/strength we were looking for. We were also able to get the croffle sticks and they were super good as well. Got the Matcha Buttercream w/Nutella Drizzle and Oreo. Very nice treat but you have to come early. Be patient since there are only two of them in there churning everything out but it is very worth it. They are really nice people and Early Bird is our favorite coffee place in the area!

Banana Bread Matcha

Cute coffee truck located in Kihei. A bunch of options to choose from! Very tasty and delicious matcha and coffee! Yet, we still have many more to try! Very friendly staff. Will be back for more.

They have lots of things, though. There was a yoga session happening in the middle lawn area. They have a butterfly area, even though the butterflies were somewhere else. There is an aging tortoise, I forget his name. There are also different businesses in the buildings, like a spa and a salon. There are different small vendors with their booths and several food trucks; although, some were not open in the morning and the Thai food truck had all their items sold out on their menu already. The prices were even more pricier than the food trucks at Maui Food Trucks. One vendor had hand crafted desserts for $20/piece! I admired from afar, haha. Everything is advertised as "farm to table" maybe justifying their prices. We shared an acai bowl and it was mid. The the peanut butter was just scraped on the side of the bowl. Our typical acai bowls at least put the peanut/almond butter in the middle like any other topping so you can get an even bite with everything. But the dallop of peanut butter just on the side, it was like we ordered peanut butter on the side of our acai bowl. It was weird. I bet it's more alive at night with more food trucks open and live music. We came and saw and didn't come back. I can see how it can be great for families with toddlers running around, giving them a safe space to burn their energy. Until then, this probably won't be the top of our list.

The area is lush with lots of plants and there a many vendors along the path where you can pick up a souvenir or gift to take home with you. The trucks offer a lot of different dishes to experience, my favorite being the one that sold Hawaiian plates, e.g. Kalua Pork and mac. It's a great place to stop by, relax and chill after a hard day of adventures. Surrounding parking is easy and plentiful. The area to the back of the lots has lots of parking space.

The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.

I called and asked them for directions and they actually guided us. They were also really patient in explaining the menu to us and explaining the different types of fish and what not. Really glad we were patient and actually came here! Such a lovely aesthetic to the whole area and the food. Oh my goodness!!! The burst of flavor in everything was phenomenal! Such unique combinations and everything was so fresh and cooked so well and just mind blowing! Husband and I kept saying how we should have just gone there multiple times for food! Mahi Mahi Bento bowl with Ono instead. (It has Crispy Sushi Rice / Black Garlic / Market Vegetables) I really have no words to see how good this combination was! I was actually a little full going into dinner but ended up actually wiping this whole plate clean! The food was that good! Husband got the Roasted Organic Chicken With Coconut with Coconut Carrot Curry and Roasted Vegetables. Very different vibe from my item but also really delicious. Heat thoroughly enjoyed this one! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the carrot coconut curry combination with the vegetables and the chicken was lovely. He kept some leftovers for the next day because the chicken portion size was quite huge and we enjoyed it even the next day! Seaweed salad was also delicious! Super fresh and tasty!

I'm not sure I've had, or will have, a better meal on Maui. It was named one of the top local spots last year, and that recognition feels completely deserved. Set at the far end of South Maui Gardens, the outdoor seating gives it a relaxed but special ambiance. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I shared the smoked tomahawk steak family-style, along with black garlic roasted rice, pickled carrots and onions, and a roasted vegetable medley with a beautiful spice mix. Every bite was outstanding -- perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. We finished with the lilikoi meringue pie, which was just as impressive and a perfect way to end the meal. Maui has some incredible dining experiences, and Kitoko stands comfortably among the very best -- food truck or not. If you're looking for a truly memorable dinner on the island, don't miss this one.
