One of the few places around that has loose leaf hot tea and it tasted great! Bagels are yummy and strawberry jam is delicious. Friendly staff and good vibe. read more

This place is a total scam. $12 for a mediocre latte? Just a little hole in the wall "food truck". They don't post their prices, which means you're potentially shamed into even asking. Also, $10.50 for a bagel lol... read more

Super adorable coffee bus on the main road. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to the Hawaiin prices (just visiting), but the coffees were extra pricey! Nearly $20 for 2 dirty chai lattes, but it is good coffee. I prefer a vanilla chai, so this is was a bit bitter and spicy than what I am used to but I still enjoyed the coffee. It was my first time trying macadamia milk and it was not as creamy as oat TBH. The ambiance is very nice here and they offer a few food options as well. read more

esther and maya always taking care of me! i go here every morning before my walk in the beach and i absolutely love it! a must go!

We ordered cold brews with half the amount of vanilla they normally use. The barista said their vanilla is made in house and it definitely tasted like it. I enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. I really wanted to try the Mac nut milk but it's $3.50 to add it to a coffee which seems outrageous to me so I went with oatmilk (extra $1.50). I prefer to stop here for coffee when getting donuts nearby. read more

They make a tasty cappuccino in the land of tasty cappuccinos. In other words, most of the coffee shops in Hawaii are great, and so was this one... read more

Read the reviews and decided to give this place a try and it was disappointing. They no longer serve the breakfast sandwiches and they were out of majority of the bagels. The service was okay, however I think the barista was a little high so she wasn't understanding my order. The aesthetics are nice, however I would not recommend. I ordered a chai latte and it wasn't good at all. Ended up going to Java Kai! read more

I woke up craving a breakfast bagel, like when does that ever happen :p So I jumped on yelp to see what was around & remembered this cute little food truck across the way that I had come to once before. I'm a HUGE fan of matchas, & considering I hadn't had one here before & Holy Grail next door makes a bomb matcha, I wanted to see how this place compared. You do get more for about the same you pay at HG, they both make their nut milks in-house, but it's the nut milk COMBO HG makes, that has me tipping the scale here, so personal opinion, 4.5/5 with the matcha. The lox bagel? I've loved lox since I was young, never met a lox I didn't like, so this was BOMB. That is all. 5/5. Location wise; it's right across from the Kauai beach hostel, the blue house for bus drivers, & the community center. The girls who work here are (semi) friendly lol... ie the girl who took my order was sweet, but the one who gave me my order looked like she was over it yesterday, :p Regardless it's a super cute little food truck spot, highly recommended! read more

Mokihana Coffee - 2 Latte & veggie quiche, - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Lihues one. Hoi this thing is soo Ono. Better than anywhere else best believe. Service was cherry.

Really wanted to like this place. Cute little coffee truck with nice vibes. However, the two lattes we ordered, The Holy Cacao with house made macadamia milk and a vanilla latte with house made almond milk were completely unpalatable. Both drinks had the taste of water down burnt espresso with zero flavoring. Tried to add some of the self serve simple syrup to help, but they were unsalvageable. Extremely disappointing after spending $20 on lattes to have to throw them into the garbage. read more

The best coffee on the island with bold and fresh flavors. The owner and workers were as sweet as can be. My go to order: iced latte with oat milk or Mac nut latte- smooth and not overpoweringly sweet read more

I went here twice during my 5-day stay, and that was because they were closed 1 or 2 of those days. Loved picking a cappuccino with jalapeño bagel for the drive. read more

Wow! I'm glad I ordered large order of latte! It's so good and very good quality coffee making. One of the very best latte I've had anywhere so far. read more

Patient excellent service at the Food Truck Version of Small Town Coffee.... Great Lattes and even better, smiling, patient service at this food truck version of Small Town Coffee! Will be back here if I am in Kauai next! read more

After a week of trying all the local coffee shops I can honestly say this one won the best coffee award. If you're a purist like myself you'll appreciate the smooth taste of this espresso. They make their own almond milk as well which is a huge bonus to those of us who don't like all the added sugars in packaged goods and can't have milk. Definitely a favorite on the island for coffee! read more

Mokihana Coffee - Cappuccino with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

I think people sleep on Small Town Coffee because of the other coffee in town but don't be fooled. They're all good but you should definitely take the time to visit this little gem. We popped over to get a cup of coffee after a few malasadas. I ordered an iced macadamia nut latte with soy and LET. ME. TELL. YOU. DELICIOUS. I've had a ton from other coffees in town but this one. All the flavors of macadamia and sweetness. I loved it, all 16oz of it. Definitely a place to try if you're looking for good coffee. read more

Great coffee, great crew! We come to Kauai every year and get our coffee here as many times as we can.

Ordered the americoco and shaken espresso with macadamia nut syrup and oat milk. The americoco was unique since it's made with coconut water rather than basic h20. Shaken espresso is a sweeter drink but I believe you can omit the syrup if desired. It was pretty tasty though! It's like an iced latte with your choice of syrup! Service was great, the employee was patient with our questions about the drinks since it was our first time there. read more

I did a review for Small Town many years ago, back when they were in the big blue old building that used to be Hemingway's. I would come here while I was visiting from Oahu. And I live and have been living on Kauai for 6 years now and still come here. It is still my favorite coffee place in island. The coffee and drinks are always consistent & the people that work there are always nice. I love that they make their own syrups. I do miss during the fall the Vanilla Cardamom syrup COUGH COUGH HINT HINT bring it back pretty please ! I am loving Auntie M's empanadas. My favorite ones are the Veggie Lovers, The Greek, Steak & Mushroom, Rhubarb, Pecan Pie and many others. Jonathon is a great asset to Small Town he is friendly and funny and he always makes me laugh. Emma is a sweetheart and I adore her. I miss Laura, she knew how to make my Rose flavored matchas perfectly. Small Town is the place to stop at. This is my Central Perk. read more

Drinks and bagels were delicious. The baristas were friendly. There's a few tables outside with surrounding plants. Beware of hungry chickens (as usual on Kauai). read more

Cute spot - it's a truck in a parking lot but has a built deck with seating as well as seating in the back. Coffee drinks are delicious but on the pricey side but so is every coffee place here. They have delicious bagel breakfast sandwiches and bagels in general. We really liked it and it was the only place we could get a plain bagel with cream cheese when I looked it up. I recommend to stop by to a coffee concoction & a breakfast item if you're nearby :) read more

Jalapeño cheddar bagel- the worst I had, it crumbles -hard to chew. The cacao latte was interesting, wish it was hotter. This was just like warm. No veggies on bagel :( read more

Much needed coffee stop early in the morning before our zip lining trip! The hot mocha was really delicious and my spouse said his Americano was better than a normal one. We also ordered a Chunky Monkey muffin to split, which was perfect for a light breakfast. The location is super cute and they have front and back tables to use. The only thing was that our muffin was forgotten and when I went up to ask for it a few minutes later, they handed it to me without even a simple "sorry". read more

Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quick coffee with bagels/ sandwiches. No other food items. Very friendly service. This is a family owned business. Please support them. read more

Friendly staff, good cappuccino and holy latte. Everything bagel with cream cheese yeah!

This place represents what I envision regarding the flavor of Hawaiian coffee. It was fan-flippin'-tastic!!! If this was closer to our condo I would come back here every morning. Heck I may have to anyway. It was that delicious. read more

I was just driving by and so glad I stopped in! Freaking delicious. I got the holy cacao latte. They were able to make it with decaf (seems to be hard to find elsewhere). Soooo yummy. The little gal at the counter was super sweet - and I love that they have offerings with superfoods. Next time I'll try the Kevlar - coconut oil & butter. Expensive place but worth it! read more

We loved the coffees we got here! I am simple and got a no frills or flavors latte and it was delicious! My husband got the macadamia nut milk latte with a splash of vanilla. He said it was the best latte he ever had! They make the macadamia nut milk in house and you can taste how fresh it is! I highly recommend this cute food truck! The staff were kind and professional and we had our treats in no time! read more

Love this place! Its cheaper than other places, and their coffees are pretty good. You really must try quiche. My husband and I went multiple times for their quiche. There are 3-4 tables in the back you can sit as well. read more

New owners, new brand, same great coffee. Mokihana Coffee (formerly Small Town) has some of the best coffee on Kauai. What's more, it is locally owned and well-integrated in the community. Stop by at any time and you'll see a solid mix of locals and tourists enjoying their drinks, pastries, and more. The baristas offer top-tier service and their energy and positive attitude brighten your day before you can even take your first sip of coffee :) Their iconic bus is a Kapa'a staple and since it's right off Kuhio Highway, it is the easiest, quickest way to get good coffee when you're on the go. If you're operating on island time, Mokihana's upgraded ambiance will make it feel like you are sipping joe in the heart of the Kahili Ranch. So sit back and enjoy the new covered area, fresh new colors, and carefully curated greenery-the views aren't going anywhere. read more

The drip was local and very smooth. The lattes are great and we were warned about the 4 shots in the large. The everything bagels were great. Go for a macadamia nut milk vanilla latte. Great service by the baristas. A great representation of the food truck ambiance in Kauai. read more

Delicious coffee and I had a delicious egg muffin. It opens early and gets the day off to a great start.

Great little spot on the main road and conveniently across from my hotel Opens early! Great service & the coffee is amazing read more

Mokihana Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Super friendly baristas and while I never really get a good cup of coffee at one of these little places, this coffee was great. Their scones were good and their bagel and locks hit it out of the park. But by far the best thing I discovered there was the soursop and lime juice. Amazing! Never had it before, heck I've never heard of it before and so I thought I try it. Now I'm home and can't get it! Anyway, if you're in Kapaa or on your way up to the north part of the island, give this once a try. It's worth it. read more

I LOVE Small Town Coffee! Not only are their drinks delicious but their workers are always so kind to me. I love getting their iced matcha latte with oat milk and honey.. but their iced mocha is also so so good! Their prices are reasonable and I love that they have non-dairy and gluten free options. Their pies are also very tasty, my personal favorite is the haupia one! If you're in Kapa'a town and just need a quick coffee fix, you should definitely try Small Town Coffee! :) read more

Mokihana Coffee - iced matcha latte with oat milk and honey & a latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

This is a coffee truck in the "downtown" area of Kapa'a. The coffees were good (we had breve lattes) and the lox bagel hit the spot but the reason you should go is that the people are so wonderfully friendly, warm, welcoming and there's just a great vibe. Such a nice way to start your day in Hawaii. The aloha here is strong. RECOMMENDED! read more

Coffee is legit, and I loved coming here for liquid breakfast. The Espresso Sodas are very interesting, and I'm glad I had the experience. The carbonation isn't for everyone, but the caramel is interesting with the bubbles, and I really like the one with Mexican chocolate. Great place for a morning cup of something hot or not. Definitely recommend starting a vacay day here. read more

We came here when we say the crazy line at Java Kai and glad we found this friendly happy coffee place. They had a nice outdoor patio, were super friendly and quick. We got some iced drinks and tried their empanada/pie and muffin and it was a nice snack to start the morning. The pie was delicious :). What a cute little place read more
