    Iced Mac Nut Latte
    Jenn B.

    When I tell you I came all the way from Arizona with the plan of having coffee here as much as I could during my visit to Hawaii...I'm not exaggerating. My Mom had visited a few years ago & raved about their coffee. It did not disappoint! The macadamia latte is perfection. Not to sweet & the espresso is roasted in a way that leaves the brew without any bitterness. I will be having withdrawals when I leave.

    This spot was a fan favorite on my trip. I would definitely come again. The atmosphere is very cute aesthetically pleasing. A little pricey, but I get it. I'm gonna miss the Mac nut latte, never try something like that in New York. My boyfriend is also a picky person, but he insisted that we come back to this shop for his board coffee throughout the entire trip. He had an ice caramel latte. Now for the food the SUFER GIRL BAGEL 12/10!! it was so good. I don't know who came up with that combo but delicious. The burrito was also good but had to have the surfer girl Bagel on my third visit here.

    Cloud Cola Latte
    Brian M.

    Another great visit to Kai Bar. This time I tried one of their seasonal lattes - Cloud Cola Latte. It was a bit wierd to drink a cola flavored latte, but it was strangely good. We also tried a Lava Glow, which is a bit like the Erewhon Smoothie. It was pretty good. The service was friendly and the vibe continues to be fun,

    Max nut latte & strawberry matcha latte

    Obligatory stop when in Kauai. Fast and kind service with delicious breakfast items and wonderful lattes and matcha lattes. I got the iced strawberry matcha latte and surfer girl sandwich which always hits the spot.

    Portuguese Sausage and Egg Sandwich
    Annaise R.

    The coffee was good and the sandwich were really good. We would for sure come back again if we make it Kauai again.

    Came in excited to try out their coffee and acai bowl! Unfortunately, it was mid. Pretty busy place in a nice plaza. Clean and friendly staff. Acai base was okay... It was heavily loaded with granola which made it hard to get acai on the spoon. For drinks, I got the Maui Mocha, which was disappointing. :( Maybe I should try to order other things next time!

    Dirty chai latte

    My best friend and I stopped in for a quick bite and coffee and enjoyed everything. We shared the Portuguese sausage sandwich. The smokey romesco was a great touch. We had an iced Mac nut latte and a dirty iced chai. Both were super good. You could tell they were going to be good just by the color! 10/10 recommend Kai Bar and Java Kai next time you are looking for a good coffee spot!

    The service was quick and well executed. The food is amazing, and a nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy it all. I highly recommend this place.

    Weird place. We came by, took the menu and once we were ready to order, cashier told us that today they have limited menu only. But she saw that we took full menu right in front of her. Why she didn't say anything? Then she gave us number and said that they will bring food to us. They did, but not the coffee (she didn't say anything about it). Guy who brought food said that coffee is at the corner and he will bring it, but he didn't. As for the food, I didn't expect pesto to be white, but that's fine. It was too much anyway for the toast - too fatty.

    Banana bread

    Ordered the blended Mac nut latte and iced Mac nut latte, it was delicious it reminded me of Dutch bros macadamia but more flavorful and creamier. Also had their banana bread. Thought it needed to be more moist but it had good flavor . McKenna was the one that helped us at the register and she was great. Really friendly and had a great attitude!the place was very clean. They sold some merchandise also. Will definitely come back when we're in the area

    I went here many times during our trip--the food was delicious and the drinks were perfect every time. I really enjoyed the strawberry matcha and the coffee. I tried as many drinks as I could, and every single one was amazing. The Wired Monkey ice-blended drink was definitely my favorite! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    Croi-Sean-wich

    My husband and I stopped in here for breakfast and thought it was super adorable. I love the designs on their cups. The whole vibe is cool. I ordered the surfer girl sandwich and an iced Maui mocha. My husband got the cro-Sean-wich and an iced maple latte. We sat down after ordering and the girl IMMEDIATELY brought out our food. We said it couldn't be ours since we had ordered a minute ago. She said no it is yours and walked away. We looked at the receipt on the box and it had been ordered about 20 minutes earlier. My husband approached them in the kitchen to make sure it was in fact our food. We had also asked for no tomatoes on one and they both came out with tomatoes, so we were fairly certain it wasn't ours. They ended up explaining that someone else had placed an online order and it should've been marked no make but it wasn't so they made it. They had just happened to order the same thing as us without the modifications, so they wanted to give it to us to not waste any food. I have no problem with them giving us this order since I'm all for not wasting food, but I thought it was really weird that this wasn't communicated up front especially since that food had been made 20 minutes prior. We ended up keeping it since it was still warm and we weren't really given an option. My husband LOVED his iced maple latte. I thought the Maui mocha was good. We would definitely go back for the coffee and the food. It felt like we just happened to have a bit of a weird experience with the service.

    Iced Mac Nut Latte - Small
    Keilab A.

    My favorite cafe of all cafes Ive ever been to. They have the best menu with so many food and drink options you can't go wrong with. During the fall they have a speciality drink menu and I tried their iced rise of the chai which is pumpkin spiced chai with espresso. It's absolutely delicious. Their iced matcha is also tasty (I added their banana breeze syrup). The lava glow smoothie is A1. If you want a savory sandwich get their housemade portuguese sausage and egg sando, it's yummy!! Always great service here and plenty of seating inside and out.

    Super cute little coffee shop with a little boutique inside - they do have restrooms and spots to…read morework if needed. They were super quick. The prices are extremely reasonable and the coffee was 10 out of 10 delicious would definitely come back here wonderful little hole in the wall spot. Amazing coffee ! Yumm

    I wanted to like this place more, but it's very mid, the matcha and latte were really just 3/5…read morestars. I ordered a hot matcha latte with oat milk, and the matcha already comes pre-sweetened per the barista. It tastes very similar to Starbucks matcha, not horrible but not great either. A little too sweet for my liking and not enough of the matcha flavor comes through. The color also wasn't the correct shade of green for good quality matcha, but I'm someone who likes to make my matcha at home and rarely find ones at coffee shops that I actually like, so take my review with that in mind, if you're a casual matcha drinking then you would like their version. It doesn't dry your tongue out or have a bitter taste. The following day I decided to try their coffee and ordered a hot vanilla oat milk latte. It was just okay, the espresso is a little more on the acidic side and I couldn't taste any vanilla flavor. Definitely not the worst latte I've had in Hawaii, but for the cost of lattes nowadays, I wouldn't come back to try more of their menu until I try other local coffee shops first. Pros: Plenty of parking right out front, good amount of seating inside, clean bathrooms, wifi, they sell their coffee beans and merchandise including shirts and hats which are super cute, there is also a small shop inside the same building that sells clothing/candles/bags/etc and the store employee is super nice
