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

Hanalei Coffee Roasters began in a century-old plantation house, just in front of the taro patch, in the town of Hanalei, Kauai. Mark Furr and Tina Ferrato, a married couple, operated a cafe and retail roasting operation in the old plantation house for over a decade. We specialize in roasting and serving 100% Hawaiian coffees, and over the years, we have served our Hawaiian coffees to tens of thousands of visitors to the Garden Isle.

The vibe is nice, clean, friendly staff. We got a strawberry matcha milk, 2 Mac nut lattes, 2 breakfast burritos with Portuguese sausage, and a cinnamon roll. The good: the coffee was great, both iced and hot it was consistently good. The cinnamon roll was a cross between a roll and a muffin and that combo is pure genius . The icing was generous and not overly sweet, we loved it. Strawberry matcha milk was delicious, smooth, and creamy. The meh: the burritos were just okay , the man hero cheese added an odd tart flavor that didn't seem to fit and the Portuguese sausage was ground and lacked flavor. I would have preferred sliced sausage . Not terrible just not worth getting again. Overall, I would recommend this place.
