    Açaí bowl substitute pineapple for the bananas
    Juls B.

    Cute little place off the road. Good menu and food was fresh and came out fast. Açaí bowl fresh and yum. Sub sandwich was huge! Definitely sharable. Love their bread they use. Super fresh and soft. Service was good and everyone seems to be enjoying the vibe.

    Nothing better than a refreshing açaí bowl after a warm hike along the coast. I love this spot because it has a generous menu and plenty of seating inside. We tried the island vibes açaí bowl that had granola, bananas, strawberries, lilikoi butter, and graham cracker with macadamia crumble. I never had lilikoi butter but it was such a good addition. The fruit was very fresh and the açaí was so refreshing. I asked the staff what their favorite bowl was and I'm so glad they picked this one.

    I write this to you from my local New York City coffee shop, the Samurai Champloo soundtrack spinning in my wired apple headphones, a zyn tucked high and tight, and a black coffee blessing my lips. What more could a guy ask for? I'm fresh back in this manic city off of a trip to Maui. What a special place. Polar opposite vibe of New York, but I love both. I NEED both. Island Vibes Cafe became our local cafe/coffee shop to get the day started, as it was a short walk from the Airbnb. These places are special. They become home and give you a little slice of routine while on vacation. I was essentially living off of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sunrise smoothie ($11) and the Peanut Butter Banana Bagel ($11.50). It was straight fuel for me, no better way to get the day started. I had no cell service in here, and it brought me back to a simpler time when we all weren't so plugged into the outside world. We would all just enjoy each other's company. On mornings when I came alone, I would find myself just sitting with my thoughts. I've been extremely burnt out recently, but found this time alone I was coming up with some great ideas and my battery was actually being recharged. This time forced me to realize how important being "bored" is. It forces you to be creative and think about things that you put off when you are getting blasted with content, videos, and stimuli 24/7. Being bored is a completely lost art in today's world, and I'm grateful to Island Vibes for putting me in a straight jacket and making me bored. I need to be bored more often. Thank God I didn't realize they had wifi until my last day in here lol. On this last day as I walked up to order, the sweet cashier with the cool necklace said "the usual?" What an honor. I felt like a regular. I responded with a hard "Absolutely," got my bagel and smoothie, and sat there, opting not to connect to the wifi. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

    Iced latte ($6.75)

    Island Vibes Cafe is a local coffee and breakfast shop in the Kapalua area of Maui. They are right by the water and located in a small plaza and an even smaller parking lot. They have a variety of offerings: coffee, smoothies, açaí bowls, breakfast burritos, and sandwiches. They also have juices that are freshly pressed. We ordered the island vibes açaí bowl ($15) which was decent and slightly sweet due to the lilikoi butter. We ordered the Cali style burrito ($15) with bacon; we wished the portion size was bigger but we liked the bacon and the salsa was very good. We also got the iced latte ($6.75) that was standard. The interior was spacious and there were a good amount of tables. There was even extra space for people to park their surfboards while they grabbed a coffee or a bite to eat.

    Awesome little cafe right in Nāpili right behind Napili bay. Literally 100 feet from the public entrance to the beach. I loved this cute shop!. They sell sandwiches, açaí bowls, coffee, snacks and the best guava cheesecake ever!!!! Also during my stay my goal was to find the best açaí bowl and they won hands down best one!!! The breakfast burrito is delicious and the coffee was perfect! Wish I could come here everyday on my way to the beach! Also they sell a bunch of cute stuff from household beachy decor to really cute locally made jewelry. Oh and the music is fun and livel Pro tip: grab some coffee and head over to the beach or grab lunch or an açaí bowl and head back to the beach baby!

    Great Brazilian cheese bread and coffee. Delicious freshly baked! Friendly staff and spacious dining tables. Ambiance is relaxing and clean. Walkable distance from montage hotel or plenty of parking in front of the store.

    Day 2 (take-out order).. Mac nut latte w/oat-milk & blue raspberry shaved ice on our lanai (flower I found on my walk back;))
    Minh L.

    All around amazing! Went yesterday and ate in and again today for take out. Delicious coffee (I ordered mac-nut latte w/oat milk) and loving their loaded veggie everything bagel. My son had shaved ice both days (I brought my own cooler and got shaved ice to go today since we were only a few minute walk ;)) They have a really cute island vibes shop. We got a few really cute souvenirs and gift. Aloha and Mahalo!!

    Stopped in for some food and drinks for the beach and we were not disappointed! The prices are a little steep but you could tell everything was freshly made. The wait was also a while since they just have one person taking orders but it moved pretty quick! I really enjoyed my matcha and the açaí bowl was delicious as well. We walked so unsure of how parking would be but there was lots of seating inside and I liked the local vendors being showcased as well!

    What an INCREDIBLE find! We are staying walking distance from this cute cafe and are so pleased we found it! It's super clean, with a chic local vibe. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Their menu is simple yet has great variety for all. My two daughters quickly found items they wanted, as did I which is surprising because I am gluten free. We got two acai bowls and a breakfast wrap. All three were delicious! We will definitely be returning for more this trip.

    Bagel, burrito, Island Vibes Açaí
    Shanelle S.

    Relaxed cafe with breakfast burritos and acai bowls. Came here for breakfast with my boyfriend and ordered an egg and cheddar bagel, island vibes acai bowl, and Paia style burrito. The burrito was filling and vegetarian friendly. I really liked the macadamia nut crumble and the passionfruit drizzle on the acai bowl, as it's not a common thing to see in the acai bowls I order in LA. It wasn't too sweet too, which was good. There was a small parking lot in the front. Plenty of seating was available.

    This was another yelp find during our trip to Maui and we loved it so much we are planning on going back before we leave the island. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is great, too. I will be dreaming out my açaí bowl for a long, long time.

    This place does everything great. Do your taste buds, senses (vibe) and tummy a favor, order anything and it is delicious, healthy and flavorful. Special shoutout to the shaved ice, after trying it at a 5 star hotel restaurant, which was just little blocks of ice with some artificial syrup. This is legit, how it should be.

    Lovely coffee shop with great food options. Short walk from Napili beach. I had an island latte and Acai bowl, both were great. Great Wall art and a few Hawaiian gifts to choose from

    Conveniently located inside Whalers Village, this is a must-visit whenever you're in Maui. I've…read morebeen here multiple times, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you're looking for a refreshing breakfast or snack after the beach, their açaí bowls are some of the best on the island. We tried two different bowls, and both were beautifully presented and loaded with fresh fruit. The açaí was perfectly blended and topped with sweet papaya, raspberries, toasted coconut, and a creamy scoop of frozen yogurt. The other bowl was topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, little bit of honey to add some sweetness, making it light and refreshing. Everything was made fresh, the portions were generous, and the presentation was appreciated--even decorated with fresh orchid flowers. One of the best parts is that you can customize your bowl exactly how you like it. They also offer flavorful coffee drinks that pair perfectly with breakfast. It's a walk-up counter where you order first, and there's plenty of indoor seating to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. We look forward to coming back every time we visit Maui!

The coffee also came out very quickly but I will say if you are in a rush I would recommend ordering an açaí bowl, as those came out much faster than the cooked food. For coffee, I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was just okay. However, my sister ordered the iced island latte and it was very good just was more dessert like to me! For food I had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was super good and was a very nice portion. Overall I would come back again but I am not sure if it was completely worth the hype/wait.

    We happened to walk by at 11am on a Tuesday and there was no line, so we popped in. I think they…read morewere on their last 20 cinnamon rolls and everything else on the breakfast menu was sold out. But we got two and they were indeed the best cinnamon rolls I've had. Not greasy or cakey, perfect with a cup of coffee, and held up the next day with reheating. I wouldn't have stood in line for an hour in the sun, but I'm glad we went. But the best thing was the interaction with the staff - the person at the register was friendly and kind and we had an unexpected heart-warming exchange about a hat I was wearing about an Indigenous land defender in Honduras. Most people don't ask me about it and I was so touched she took the time to listen and respond.

    We went to Papi's Ohana 3 times this trip. We did a 5am wake up call for cinnamon rolls, cookies…read moreand scones for one visit, pizza for another and lastly strolled in at 11am another day to grab more scones and cinnamon rolls. Must haves: The mango and pineapple scones are amazing. Our 3rd trip in was just to get scones, because I couldn't stop talking about them! I liked to put them in our fridge, and just break off pieces as I walked by. I swear they are even better and more flavorful the next day! The cookies are so good! My son called them the best he has had, and is wanting us to try and recreate them when we get home. They come in a box cold, and 10 seconds in a microwave really brings them to life! We got a second box with our pizza, because they were that good. I'd eat again: the cinnamon rolls are good. It's what they're known for, and I agree they are delicious and well worth the cost. I'm not sure I'd get up at 5am again for them. However, when we rolled through at 11am and they still had some, you best believe we picked some up! The skip: I would not get their pizza again. We called at 3pm to order an all meat and a Hawaiian pizza for pickup at 5:30pm that day. Pickup was easy, but when we got to our condo we were so disappointed. The pizza tastes fine, but they are so so so skimpy on toppings. Considering the size of their scones and cinnamon rolls, we thought they'd put that same gusto into their pizza, and it definitely fell short. With so many good pizza places nearby, I would go somewhere else. If I'm paying for toppings, I want toppings!
