    Aloha Latte
    Leland S.

    I needed my morning fix and lo and behold, here I am. AMBIANCE: Parking: It's downtown of Molokai so there is plenty of parking however since it's small there's a little hustle and bustle here with locals and tourists. Seating: There is no inside seating due to COVID-19 but there's outdoor seating shaded with umbrellas. Feels: Downtown Molokai is a small-time feel so don't expect anything too flashy. It has all your simple needs from a bakery, grocery store, gas station, and such. The spot itself is pretty neat. I enjoyed the Island music they were playing. FOOD: Aloha Latte (Recommend) There subtle mix of chocolate, Hawaiian coffee beans, espresso, and macadamia nuts. A refreshing delight to give you a good kick in the morning. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and professional. Can't complain here! TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! I dig the simple local flavors, hints of creativity, reasonable prices, and service. For those in need of a coffee and more. This a great spot to check out in Molokai. TIPS: * Check out their seasonal specials

    Caramel Macchiato

    Good options, healthy smoothies and espresso. Quality of service varies depending on the employee working.

    I ended up getting a Americano. Perfect, as it hit da spot, but small kinda pricey at $5.26 for a 12 oz. cup.

    I was working on Molokai the other day, and being that I had to get up pretty early to catch the 1st flight out (I got up at 4:00 AM), by the time it was in the afternoon, I started to drag. What do you do? But of course you look for a place where you can get a good jolt of coffee! Let's see now.........where's the nearest - Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Island Vintage Coffee, or Honolulu Coffee Company? Whoops! I forgot I was on a remote island! Lol! No worries gang, because I found a little gem of a coffee shop here on the friendly isle........... it called the - "Hula Bean Cafe". Located in Kaunakakai town, you can find this little cafe just across the street from Misaki's Supermarket, on Mohala Street. Unfortunately during the Covid-19 pandemic, I couldn't physically go inside of the Hula Bean Cafe to look around, & lounge. Just for now, Hula Bean Cafe is only open for "take out". Besides offering great drinks here, Hula Bean Cafe also serves up a few food items like - breakfast sandwiches, gourmet sandwiches, paninis, desserts, muffins, scones, acai bowls, & pretzels. As for me, I was just looking for a strong cup of coffee, and upon looking over their coffee drinks, I decided to get a 12 oz. Americano drink. What can I say about my Americano? It was the perfect drink to give me a jolt of energy when I needed it the most!!! I drank it black, no cream...........it was very strong, so strong that I felt my chest sprouting hairs! Buwahahahahaha! Well maybe not! Lol! So glad Molokai has a locally owned coffee shop where you can get a good cup of Joe! Next time I come here early in the morning............I'm heading straight to the Hula Bean Cafe!

    Choc Mac nut frappe

    Best coffee and scones! Amazing, friendly service! So far I've had the choc mac nut frappe, the mocha frappe, and the new pumpkin spice latte- all so good! Thank you!

    Hula Bean has the best caramel fraps so that's why they're always busy making them! Great service too! Everybody should go and buy coffee

    Mediocre at best and way overpriced. Go to Coffees of Hawaii for coffee or next door for grindz.

    I was really excited to try Maui Fruit Ninja, but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations…read more The service was slow, and the owner kept mentioning it was their first day back with new employees, which made things feel pretty unorganized. He tried to keep a "cool" vibe, but it came off as all over the place. For a small canopy stand, the portion size of fruit wasn't worth the price at all. What concerned me most was seeing him handle cash and then immediately put straws into customers' drinks without washing his hands. Mentioning this ahead of time, I know he will most likely respond defensively and not accept that changes need to be made to improve the business. I could already see his attitude while I was waiting to order and again while waiting for my food. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I had high hopes, but I won't be coming back or recommending it.

    Fresh, delicious, heavenly…read more Recently visited while staying at nearby resort. They (as well as other vendors) rotate locations up and down the beach walk daily. I was able to catch them multiple days. Tried the açaí bowl, pineapple combo bowl, lawa flow smoothie. Opted to get no papaya on my items as that's not my jam. All the fruit was cut fresh. I enjoyed the bases were sorbets so they held up nicely walking up and down the boardwalk. The line can get long but moves quickly. Luckily each time I've visited there has only been a few people ahead of me. Can't beat a freshly made açaí bowl by the ocean with friendly staff! Highly recommend if you're nearby visiting!
