We just spent a week in Kauai and made four trips to Java Kai…read more The Mocha Maui Latte is really good. Chocolate, coconut syrup, and coffee, what's not to love? It's like drinking a Mounds bar. The breakfast burrito is really good. The blueberry muffins are so good we are taking 4 hone with us. (Only four because that's all they had left). The staff is super friendly! They are usually busy so they plan to wait a bit, but it's worth it. Free street parking was available each time we were there.

After going ourselves, we can see why Java Kai is such a staple. Located right in the heart of…read moreKapa'a, this is the island-cafe aesthetic you're looking for. Bright colors, outdoor seating, and tropical inspiration added to the menu. Their coffee was SO GOOD. And the dishes we tried were delicious as well. The ambiance really makes this place great and this staff is well trained and great at their jobs. There was a line when we got there and a line when we left, so I would assume that's pretty typical. Expect a rush but enjoy the wait because it's worth it.

Absolutely delicious! The malasadas were made fresh right then and there, and they were incredible…read more We also tried a shortbread-style cookie (I can't remember the name!), and it was SO good. We sampled all the flavors, and honestly, every single one was delicious. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Kauai! It's a smaller establishment but they have seating outside with covers. The service was very friendly.

Uniquely kind and patient staff, especially "Auntie Shana."…read more Fairly priced pastries, with the inside looking like typical donut cafe. The UBE and POG Malasadas I tried are delicious on their own way, with the UBE being mildly sweet and wonderfully satiating and POG is nice and fruity. I didn't think it was too sweet or had too much filling at all, and I don't like donuts with fillings typically. For all these reasons, I think tourists and locals alike should try this place at least once.

Prices are refreshingly reasonable by island standards, and the daily homemade muffins are always worth checking out. Need proof it's good? Just look at the line. It's full of locals and visitors alike who know where to get a great cup of coffee.

I'd opt for the Malasadas without the filling and hit the mochi option. They were a bit better on their own.

A bus turned in to coffee shop. The gals here were very nice and helpful. One of them realized…read morethat I didn't like my coffee and asked if I needed it to be sweeter without me saying anything. The coffee price is a little steep, but I thought it was pretty good. I got my iced and didn't taste any sourness to it. I've noticed at other places, when you get an iced coffee, there's a hint of sourness. Parking here was not an issue as it's shared with other establishments. I'm not sure of the time we went, but I did noticed Kauai not being busy at all. Compare to the last 2 times I've been here, this 3rd time, it hasn't been busy. Which I enjoyed.

Cute food truck that serves coffee, tea, and bagels. I ordered an iced matcha ($8). The menu says…read moreit's ceremonial grade. It was unsweetened, which isn't bad but I did wish I ordered it with a little syrup. There's a few chairs outside to sit and wait. A small line formed to wait for your order, so I do think this is a popular spot!

I found out that I'd have to pre-order at least a day in advance, and only their Panamanian light roast (no dark roast). Bummer. Place was small with a pretty barren interior.

We ordered the passion fruit, coconut, and 1 plain/non filled. We ended up ordering another coconut and a chocolate one as it was fresh out of the back. We also ordered 2 coffees. Coffees were good, but we really came for the malasadas and they did not disappoint. The staff was lovely, helpful, made great recs and friendly. There are a couple of tables inside so we sat and enjoyed them while talking with a few locals about how wonderful the Bakeshop is. Highly recommend coming early & we will definitely be back on our next trip to Kauai!!

Came here for the malasadas- we tried the guava, lilikoi, and matcha. The matcha was a bit bland,…read morethe guava was the perfect sweetness, and the lilikoi had that nice tartness. They were all light, fully stuffed, and huge (we def could've done with sharing 2 instead of 3). We also tried the krab roll and Portuguese roll, both of which were fine. Was surprised how quiet it was, but it was a bit later in the morning.

All the cold-foam matchas are excellent. The avocado toast is excellent! The people are very nice and quick. The coffee's are really good too. The only negative I can give this place is that since it is popular, lots of people know about it and it can get busy... but still TOTALLY WORTH IT! Every morning we get up, go get a matcha or coffee and sit on the beach to read. What a perfect way to start each day of a vacation!
