First time at Kraken Coffee and probably my last... given the plethora of options around Maui…read more The evening of August 26th, the barista had one of the worst attitudes that I've experienced in a customer-facing setting. Zero aloha spirit - not even a single ounce. She acted like it was a huge inconvenience to her that she actually had to do work and make a few drinks. Per other family members - their drinks were nothing special or memorable. I had to give my coffee (I think it was the Haleakalatte) to my brother since I'm lactose intolerant. Felt that in the moment it really wasn't worth it to speak up and change up a drink and endure bad vibes plus a death stare sitting in the drive thru.

It's a small, casual place, but the cinnamon rolls are delicious. Definitely recommend adding the cream cheese frosting and macadamia nut topping -- that combination was so good. Really glad I stumbled across this spot and would absolutely recommend stopping by if you're nearby.

Cinnamon Roll Place is a very straightforward name as the restaurant sells what its name suggests…read more It sells massive cinnamon rolls in a small shop in a plaza, but they also sell coffee and sandwiches. However, their main selling point are the cinnamon rolls. We shared one cinnamon roll ($7.15) which was huge! It's definitely shareable unless you have a big sweet tooth. We also got the cream cheese frosting ($0.85) which we drizzled on top. I recommend going early because they sell out because they're made fresh.

Really cool vibe too I tried a couple other places when I got here, one that had a really good review but it just tasted slightly watered down. Found a yelper than had been to the one that I went to as well as kraken and since her review was spot of for the other, I was excited to try the one that she recommended. She was right, this place just hits the spot and has great options for drinks and food. I've been three days in a row now and I'm trying to figure out how to get this drink at home. I'll miss it for sure

My husband and I thought we ordered a reasonable amount of food and quickly realized we may have gotten a little too ambitious. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, and it was exactly the kind of breakfast we wanted before a full day of exploring the island. The staff was friendly, service moved quickly despite how busy it was, and the atmosphere felt very local and welcoming. There are a lot of breakfast spots on Maui, but I can see why this place is always recommended. If you're visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by at least once. Just don't make the same mistake we did and over-order... although I can't say I regret it.

Their menu has a fantastic range, offering everything from different varieties of coffee to light bites and big, hearty breakfasts. I absolutely loved the healthy options they offered, though I do wish they had some sugar-free options available. The system here is simple: you head inside to place your order, and then you find an open table. Within about 20 minutes, the staff will call your name and bring your food out fresh and piping hot. When you finish eating, it can be a bit confusing to know where to take your plate. I asked the staff and they said to just leave it on the table. While I am not accustomed to leaving dirty dishes behind, the staff is very prompt and efficient at clearing and cleaning up. Great spot overall!

I recently got a Akamai TBA with gluten free bread and it was so good. Gluten free bread has to be practically burnt in order to taste edible and to not fall apart and this was perfectly crunchy and toasted. And a bonus here because gluten free bread is typically half the size of regular bread, but Akamai understands the disparity and gives serves the sandwich with four slices of bread. This was probably my favorite gluten free meal on Maui so far

Chic simple little store with very friendly service, they have a few tables if you want to sit and hang out.

But regardless I enjoyed my drink

It's definitely a sweeter flavor, but that's how I like my drinks. The matcha flavor is still really good and earthy, mixed really well too as it was super smooth. Even my boyfriend liked my drink and he's not even a matcha drinker. We had to go back again on the last day of our trip and I tried the Haupia, also a really good drink. The flavor of coconut with the matcha went so well together. If you're looking for good matcha on the island and a good caffeine kick, this is the place for sure

Matcha whisked upon order. It was not too sweet or overly bitter. Quality matcha with a vibrant green color. However, you could hardly taste the ube after mixing the drink. There are milk alternatives (oat, almond, coconut, soy), which is always appreciated. In the end, I would return if I am back shopping in the area and in need of a caffeine boost. I am also curious to try the other signature drinks.

We tried the coconut, chocolate, and lilikoi. The coconut was my favorite by farThe chocolate was almost like biting into a little pudding-filled treat, while the lilikoi had that perfect tartness that balanced out the sweetness. One tip: get here early because they sell out fast! Also, they only take credit cards or contactless payment, so leave the cash at home. Definitely a must-stop if you're on Maui and have a sweet tooth! All the ladies in the shop are super friendly and helpful. Almost forgot to mention the delicious iced coffees we got .

Came a little close to 11 AM so all the options were picked through. I really wanted a classic, but they were all sold out but that's alright... the mango and the Ube were probably my favorite flavors and their dough was perfect. Also got one of their cookies to go and banana bread - I was snacking on the cookies all week and the banana bread was a great bite with my coffees every morning. There's outdoor seating in a parking lot, so don't worry and give this place a try when you are in Kihei.
