    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!

    Iced banana latte with cold foam & Italian panini

    This place is one of the best local coffee shops in Kīhei! Super nice staff and the drinks are amazing. I love that they keep it interesting with all the different flavors and specialty drinks. I got the iced banana bread latte with cold foam and it was so good. The paninis and croffles are also very tasty. Can't wait to come back here!!

    Pandan Vietnamese coffee

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Best coffee on the island! Service was great and cool vibes. Pandan viet coffee was and ube viet coffee

    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.

    banana matcha
    Kristine S.

    One of our favorite places on the island. We visited twice! Their paninis were good too. Great coffee & matcha

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. 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.

We came here twice and I got the 3 bao slider combo each time. - The BAO*CHICKA*BAO*BAO was one of my favorite sandwiches. - My second favorite was the ISLAND PIGGY. I got this both times. - the LITTLE PIGGY was good, but a little overhyped in my opinion. But good to try. - the DUCK DUCK GOAT was wildly disappointing. As you can see in the picture, all meat and almost nothing else. Maybe a few silvers of cabbage. But where's the goat cheese and the fig jam?!? We also got the ALOHA TOTS. Huge portion so that was nice. But the kalua pork was pretty watery and made the crispy tots go soggy pretty fast. Overall a solid spot. Definitely worth trying at least once.

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!

There are several (maybe 6?) covered areas with numerous tables and chairs, so ample seating is available. I saw a lot of complaints of dirty tables from bird poop. We had no problem with the tables. They were all clean. However there ARE a ton of birds and chickens, so except them to join you for lunch and and run around your feet and below the tables, waiting for you to drop food. One annoyance was only a few places have a kids menu, and was limited to hot dogs, grilled cheese, and cheese burgers (depending on what trucks are there). I do suggest you look up each individual food truck on yelp to see their menus and food pictures. This page doesn't give the greatest insight on that. A solid 4 star spot for lunch! Highly recommend if you want variety
