After trying a new coffee spot day after day and being so underwhelmed, we FINALLY found a damn good spot! FANTASTIC coffee. I ordered a double espresso cortado (hot) and an iced double espresso w/ oatmilk + Splenda and both were excellent. Laid back friendly service with a smile and quality coffee. Will be back for the remainder of our trip! read more

This was our first coffee stop while being in Kauai! I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for but ended up ordering the Salty Wahine. It took a little bit to get our drinks, but there was only one person working and there were others waiting for their drinks as well. We weren't in a hurry so we relaxed at the picnic tables while our drinks came out. My drink was delicious and everything I wanted! The coffee truck is located in an area where there's a few food trucks and picnic tables for people to eat at. Definitely a great stop looking to get their morning started with a caffeine kick! read more

First timer at this coffee truck at it was really good! Ordered some bagels and a few lattes and it was delicious. Service was good and the place was cute and had some tables to sit at. There are some other trucks in that area that serve lunch and dinner I think it was. It's right by the beach so you can also enjoy your coffee with a view! read more

Found a new favorite coffee shop. I finally got to try this spot. Whenever I wanted to stop and try it, it was closed. The entire menu looks delicious and I cannot wait to try each drink and determine which ones are my top favorites. For the first time I tried an Iced Ube Cream coffee with lavender. He put in the right amount of lavender so it didn't take over all the other flavors but gave it a nice subtle hint of floral. The prices are reasonable and my drink was made pretty quickly. I definitely will be coming back here for sure. read more

This is the best coffee I found on the island. We tried several places and this is the only one we returned to. We tried the ube sweet latte, hola honey latte, dakine cold brew and the Mac nut cold brew. The drinks are on the sweeter side, after the first time I got the ube latte half sweet. It was still very sweet. None of the other drinks are as sweet, but definitely on the sweeter side. The drinks are very unique and have a lot of love put into their crafting. The owner is very friendly. We will return. read more

We love to try different coffee spots anywhere we go. Believe us when we say this was the BEST coffee spot on Kauai. The service was awesome and she gave us great recommendations on which coffee we might like better. I tried the Ube Sweet Cream and added coconut and my husband got the Holey Honey Girl made with local honey. Both were sooo good you couldn't go wrong with either. We tried all the popular spots people like to go to in Kauai (Java Kai, Wishing Well, Jammin Banana, & Sunrise Coffee) nothing came close to how good this one was! I wish we found this spot sooner and we'll definitely make this our last stop before leaving the island. We found it by accident but luckily turned out to be the perfect spot located next to great food trucks so you can enjoy food, coffee, and grab a souvenir all in one spot! read more

Garden Island Coffee quickly became part of my morning routine while I was in Kauai. What initially drew me to this spot was that they offered an Uber Sweet Cream latte that included Ube drizzle and Ube flavored whip. The staff is amazing, even taking our order after she had closed up shop for the day. Keep in mind that they are only open till noon so you have to make your way here before your daily adventures. I'm looking forward to our next visit. read more

After years of disappointment with most coffee shops on the island--many feeling like glorified, caffeinated tourist traps who care more about quantity than quality--I was ready to give up on finding a decent cup of coffee. But today, I decided to try one last spot, and I'm so glad I did! I ordered a dark chocolate coconut milk latte. The barista, who I believe was the owner, was incredibly helpful and patient as I decided on my order. He also offered a selection of flavored or flavorless CBD options for drink, which sounded delicious if that's your preference (I definitely added some to my coffee on this beautiful Saturday, why not?!) As someone born and raised here, this is one of only two places on the island I would recommend for coffee. You won't be disappointed! It's also located right next to the bike path so it's the perfect place to grab a drink and go for a nice walk/bike ride/ swim along the Kealia coastline! read more

This is a really fun spot to grab some coffee/tea in the morning. They have a bunch of cool speciality drinks with interesting names like the real housewife and the e-bomb. They also have a bunch of syrups and milk alternatives available to customize your drink. The employee working on the truck was very warm and walked us through the menu offerings. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture photos of everything we ordered, but in terms of food, we tried the yolo bites, which were granola balls with various fruits and nuts. They were a good snack to eat on the go. My friend also tried a carrot muffin, which she very much enjoyed. All the coffee and tea options were of high quality. My recommendation would be to stop here in the morning and enjoy a light breakfast at the nearby beach! read more

Service and product on point! I tried one of their specialty "fizz" iced drinks! Similar to a Italian soda, but with local flavors..super delicious! Located next to the bike path in Kapa'a and beach access within feet! Great location, excellent customer service, and even yummier treats! Definitely a stop when visiting Kaua'i or driving thru Kapa'a!! read more

Amazing Coffee and service! We tried a few other coffee spots on the island and weren't impressed so we are so happy we found them! They are located next to other food trucks too which is nice if you want to grab lunch and coffee in one outing. They also have super cute apparel and stickers for sale that make great gifts for family back home! read more

would recommend we ordered many drinks including 2 honey girls, an island boy, and could not decide on the last (the girl working was very helpful and helped us settle on a absolutely amazing tasting half sweet strawberry mixed drink with cold foam) read more

There are self guided tours which you can do at your own leisure but I would imagine the guided tours would be a lot more informative and fun.

The mango one is very refreshing for non coffee drinkers or if you want to switch things up. The self guided tour also has beautiful trees and flowers.

I've been a long-time customer of Kauai Coffee Roasters, and I can honestly say they are something…read morespecial. Not only is the quality of their coffee exceptional -- rich, smooth, and consistently delicious -- but the way they treat their customers is truly next level. Recently, a package of my coffee beans was stolen from my apartment complex. I reached out, and they immediately replaced it, no hassle, with super fast delivery. The replacement arrived incredibly quickly, and inside was a handwritten note and a small gift. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. They genuinely make you feel like a valued customer, not just an order number. Their beans are a big part of our daily routine, and they make our mornings feel special every single day. You can feel the care and pride they put into what they do -- from the sourcing, to the roasting, to the customer experience. If you're looking for outstanding coffee from a company with heart, integrity, and incredible service, I couldn't recommend them more. I'm grateful to support a business like this.
