Here's your updated 5-star review:…read more Vida is such a gem in Makawao! The street-front parking is a huge bonus, and having restrooms available makes it an easy, comfortable stop. The lox bagel was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and those pickled onions took it to the next level. Truly top notch. The coffee was just as impressive. I tried the Thai Coffee and it was perfectly balanced, rich, and smooth. The seating areas feel intimate and cozy, whether you choose indoor or outdoor. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed morning, catching up with a friend, or even a first date. And as a real dog lover, the resident coffee shop retriever dogs made it even more inviting and special. They added such a warm, welcoming touch to the whole experience. I'll definitely be back!

Great service and decent coffee!…read more Came here for an early morning coffee the girls working were sweet. We ordered: White mocha: 3/10 LIGHT ROAST Espresso tasted burnt and I could taste it more since my drink was not sweet at all which I actually expected it to be sweet. Lavender Latte: 7/10 LIGHT ROAST I think this one tasted better because of the added sweetness I could not taste the espresso as much!

Add this to your coffee list of places to try!

Very friendly, very informative of the Menu and most important treated as a valued customer. This the reason why I rated it 2 stars!

We ordered the americanos, and they were so good -- smooth, bold, and not overly bitter. Just a clean, rich espresso flavor done right. You can tell they care about the quality of their beans and how they pull their shots. They do have a small, simple menu, which I think adds to the charm of a small town. A handful of espresso drinks, teas, and a few breakfast options like bagels and warm pastries. Not a huge selection, but everything feels intentional and well made -- quality over quantity. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that laid-back Maui vibe where you can sit, sip, and just enjoy the moment. If you're in Paia and need a solid coffee spot without the big chain feel, Story Maui is definitely worth stopping by.

I had a Vanilla Coconut Iced Latte (5/5 - great flavor and good quality coffee) and my daughter had the Fruity Pebble Iced Latte (sweet but she loved it). While we were enjoying our drinks, we talked with on of the owners, Michelle, who told us her story. She is a great local business woman with an excellent store. She actually remodeling to be able to do even more. We also had a nibble of her macadamia nut spread and macadamia nut butter on some locally made sourdough bread (6/5). It was all so good. We look forward to coming back again.

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. One of my friends and I both got the cereal milk matcha which was topped with fruity pebbles, we got no adjustments but hers ended up too sweet and mine just barely sweet enough so maybe they're a little inconsistent with the measurements? But regardless I enjoyed my drink

Fresh pastries and Hawaiian grown coffee waft out of the welcoming open doors as you walk up. I order the coconut cold brew and pair it with either a fresh made ham & cheese croissant or a cinnamon roll and the pairing is a perfect way to start the day. The croissant is flaky, soft, and covered in melted cheese as you bite in. Cinnamon rolls are baked locally and you can end up going on a day with an Ube or Matcha option! You'll leave energized by coffee and conversation, ready for your next adventure.

We were heading back from a sunrise at Haleakalā when I decided to check Yelp for good nearby coffee places and this popped up, so we headed on over. This coffee shop is on Baldwin Ave in Makawao and the inside is pretty large with lots of seating. They also have a display case with baked goods over by where you order. After looking over the menu I ultimately decided on one of their specials, a cherry vanilla latte, which I don't think I have seen before in a coffee. After only a couple of minute wait, I had my latte and was out the door. My coffee here ended up tasting really good, almost like a cherry vanilla ice cream. The cherry flavor came first and that was followed by the sweet vanilla. While I know the coffee was there, it got lost a bit with the cherry vanilla flavoring. Still, I enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. A cherry vanilla latte is a new combo for me, but I enjoyed it and only wish the espresso was a bit more pronounced.

They have coffee, espresso, tea, freshly pressed juices, healthy juice shots, smoothies, and bowls with fruit and granola. The prices are unheard of and would fit a college students budget. In other words it's very affordable lol. The couple times I stopped in I ordered the cold brew. It was strong and good. They even have eco friendly straws made with corn. I didn't even know that was possible. I enjoyed this kiosk in Mana providing the community, and tourists healthy refreshments and food. I know I would be back as Mana is my number one grocery store to go to in Paia. Support local!!

I asked a simple question about which flavor was which when I ordered a drink, because they were not labeled.. and she said you can tell by looking at it.

I also asked a few other questions but she ignored me ( back turned away ) and then the other employee looked at her because she could clearly tell she was ignoring me.

Our very close friend's favorite coffee place, so when we come to Maui, we always try to bring back some. Sorry we missed grabbing a batch last year, I was NOT smart enough to navigate your new pick up system. But I have my daughter on this trip, so I delegated and she figured it out. :) Seed to cup, vertical system for complete control. Also wholesale sales available. Atmosphere - Small closed storefront. Pick up on the side door, you just need to know the secret knock and password, just kidding... LOL Limited parking, but since everyone thinks they are closed, there are no problems. :) Service - Order only. Delivery or pick up. If you are NOT local, order in advance and use your hotel as the local address. You have to time your visit as their pick up dates and times are random. Or maybe it was random for us because it was memorial weekend. Email seems to be the best form of communication. They respond very quickly. Price - $27.66 for only 8oz; expensive but you get what you pay for. Plus we are buying for our good friends. If you are reading this, I just spoiled the surprise... Or am I just too predictable anyways??? Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2003/2004. Stay safe and hope you open up your storefront soon. I suggest adding drop down menus for designated dates and times for customers to pick up during their ordering process. We had to order and pay first because not having any idea when my order would be ready to pick up. We emailed you to find a designated time, but it might be helpful to add it during the checkout stage so customers know how fast it can be ready and plan our/your schedule. I would hate to have to pay for coffee beans and choose "local pickup" and it was not ready before our flight back home.
