    Mocha and cold brew
    Nicole W.

    Breakfast burritos here are the most affordable on this side of the island, they taste good as well. You can pick the meat; we chose Portuguese sausage (because you are in Hawaii). The salsa was solid; lots of egg in the burritos, it wasn't just filler potatoes. I got the mocha and it was delicious. My husband tried the cold brew and he didn't like it. I tried it as well and it was just okay. I loved that the mocha came in a mason jar and we returned it before we left. This is my second favorite coffee truck on the island. We had better luck with the coffee trucks than the coffee shops. Service was super friendly and helpful.

    This place was so cute. Sadly, I only got to come here once. It's located in the same center as Tiki Tacos. I wanted to try them out after our lunch, but they weren't open. So we stopped by another morning. They offer walk up service or even drive thru. Both are clearly marked with signs in the parking lot. There's seating on the other side of the truck next to the street. I had really wanted to try their golden milk latte since I've sadly been off coffee for a while. I was talking to the gal taking my order about matcha and while they don't have it, she recommended a couple local places that did. She gave me a slight discount on my order for giving her a shaka! The golden milk latte was delicious. I ordered it with coconut milk. I should have asked for a little bit of honey to make it a little sweeter, but otherwise, it was perfect and a delicious start to my day! Definitely recommend trying this place out!

    Needed a coffee, and recognized the name of the truck as we were parking for tiki tacos. Good timing/ location. Got the simple black coffee. Very satisfying Friendly service.

    Hot chocolate - nice and frothy, made with dark chocolate

    Best homemade biscuit and homemade raspberry chile jam. So good! And loved the positive attitude! I devoured it so didn't get a chance to snap a photo.

    Amazing experience at Positive Coffee. Owner is very kind and service was very fast. Family got iced mochas and flat whites and everyone enjoyed their coffee. My iced mocha was not too sweet with natural cacao notes. There is shaded outdoor seating which is not difficult to get. Convenient location, located right off Kuhio Highway, perfect stop if going from one side of the island to another. I highly recommend this spot!

    Cute little coffee truck with such sweet workers! Overnight oats with fresh fruit was amazing! Coffee was good, although I wish I had added another shot so I would have had a better taste of it. Overall, it's a cute little truck with a sit down area and good coffee. We'll have to go again soon!

    Another pre-hike breakfast brought us here, and there are so many good vibes coming out of this truck it's hard not to smile. We had great coffee, a delicious breakfast burrito with chile salsa, and overnight oats with blueberries and banana. And, despite the fact that it's a food truck, they have a "drive thru" area that seemed to be popular with locals, as observed while we were waiting. Oh, and don't forget your Shaka discount. Yes, there is a sign, but you can get a discount just for promoting good vibes.

    We wanted to try a different coffee spot any chance we got and we stopped by this coffee truck to start off the day. I ordered the 48 hour cold brew with coffee ice cubes and oat milk. It was pretty good, not too strong and not too light. The Ube muffin was okay. Great service and good coffee. Highly recommend stopping by here when in Kaapa.

    If you're visiting Kauai and looking for a local lunch spot, Pono Market is a must…read more We stopped in for lunch and ordered a little bit of everything: pork lau lau (which was a hit with my toddler, no less!), a couple of different poke options, and a plate with karaage and poke. I can't remember exactly which poke varieties we got, but I believe one was their shoyu poke and the other was a spicy ahi. Regardless, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. This is exactly the kind of mom-and-pop spot I love finding while traveling. No frills, just friendly people serving great food at reasonable prices. The poke was fresh, the karaage was flavorful, and the lau lau was tender and comforting. The staff was welcoming, the portions were generous, and the prices were fair, especially considering the quality of the food. There are plenty of places to eat on Kauai, but spots like this are what make a trip memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're on the island.

    Pono market was legit everything they say it is on tik tok!…read more the fish was super fresh. They also have options for poke bowls if you'd like, they offer half and half options of ahi fish just different flavors. If that make sense. Honestly loved it so much! Service was super fast paced everyone going in knew what they wanted and it was also lunch time so everything was moving fast! It is a store like place, so it kind felt like I was walking into a deli but with fish options!

Nothing special or unique about burgers, pizza, and doughnuts. Thus, having "100% Local" and "Quality over quantity" garishly marketed on their building- constitutes as fraud as far I am concerned. What exactly is "local" about this business? Certainly not the ingredients- nor are the business owners. What exactly makes the coffee "Hawaiian"? Certainly not the coffee beans. What makes it "quality"? Fruity pebble lucky charm marshmallow donut? This business does not support or benefit the local farmers or the health of the local people. But they will use shady marketing and gladly accept the money of the naive and gullible. This building has the ambience of a laser-tag arena, and I wish the county would make them paint over the hideous artwork. It stands out like a giant tacky billboard on the side of the highway. So to the locals and tourists- go support an actual deserving local business. You can get junk like this anywhere- there's nothing unique or authentic about it. Also- this business is sketchy. Ask around.
