    We loved this place! Especially the kids. It has such a fun vibe and the coffee was great. A little on the sweeter side, but still good! We were talking to someone who seemed like the owner and was super helpful and playful with the kids. They enjoyed the stickers and smoothies and met more friends while we were waiting for our drinks.

    Such a cute coffee and smoothie shop located close to the airport! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell that they care so much about the food/drinks they serve and making their customers happy. My mom and I ordered smoothies - napali nectar ($10.25 for 16 oz) and Kauai sunrise ($10.25 for 16 oz). The smoothies were fresh. We also shared an everything bagel with strawberry fields cream cheese ($6.50). A nice balance of sweet and savory. The cream cheese was sooo good and you can tell it's homemade! We licked it right off the paper. I also got a cute sticker for $4. I can't wait to put it on my water bottle or laptop. I wish I came back to try their coffee. I heard it's amazing! The decor inside is so bright and lively. Random fun fact - their bathroom is clean and their toilet paper is plush.

    Rainbeau Jo's was honestly one of the best coffee experiences I had in Kauai. I'm glad I stopped by on the way to the airport for one last caffeine fix. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming -- you can immediately feel how genuine and positive the energy is in this place. Its so cutely decorated! Looks like one of those cute coffee places in San Diego and reminded me off home :) Beau himself served us, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. He was so friendly, so warm, and just one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable. You can tell how much love and passion goes into this shop, and it really shows in the way they treat every customer. The drinks were amazing -- seriously some of the best we had on the island. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and made with so much care. Pair that with the fun, happy vibe of the shop and it just made the whole stop feel special. We're already saying we can't wait to come back to Kauai just so we can come here again. If you're in Lihue, this place is an absolute must-visit.

    My favorite coffee shop in the WORLD The owners/staff are so kind! They made sure my drink was exactly what I wanted and it was so good I've been craving it since. We returned a second time before our trip to Kauai was over and enjoyed a bagel and coffee at Lydgate. Highly recommend!

    Do yourself a favor and make this your first stop after getting off the plane in Lihue, you won't regret it! Such amazing vibes in this shop, and they serve great coffee and bagels! Beau is hilarious and friendly, he kept the line moving but also made connections with everyone who walked through the door and everyone at the register. He even gave us a recommendation for a waterfall to visit nearby to take pictures at. I got to Coco Crunch Ombre which he said is a customer favorite and back on the menu for right now. It was sooo tasty, caramel and coconut creamy heaven. The coffee had great flavor and wasn't bitter or watered down. It was the perfect pick me up after landing in Kauai at 9:30am. We also tried the bagels, including the Jimmy Pesto on a rosemary bagel and the Brahvocado with added pesto cream cheese on an everything bagel. The bagels were fresh and had the perfect chew and crisp to them. The pesto cream cheese was full of flavor. There are indoor seating available and they also have a to-go window outside that you can pick up mobile orders if you're in a hurry. Parking is available behind the shop, it has signs letting you know it's parking for their shop. Definitely look forward to visiting again soon and trying a new drink option

    Very friendly, upbeat environment! One of the few places open on a Sunday too! Chai is BOMB!

    Something to Rainbow Jo's the first time ever had this on our to do list for years and finally made it here. Super friendly team who started us with a jolt of morning energy more than our morning coffee did! Delicious bagels and coffee one of our favorite places now in Kauai!

    The atmosphere, vibe and energy is nothing but good here. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. The owners work at the register and behind the counter making coffee and chopping it up with customers. They have a great flow going. The place is spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating and pretty aesthetics. My coffee was good and husband enjoyed his green smoothie. I also took a peek in the back where they are mixing up our drinks and I've noticed they' were using relatively good products which is always a perk. All in all our party was happy with our orders.

    Great start for any Kauai trip. Coffee, smoothies or breakfast bites are a hit here. The place is fun, clean, and full of great service. Our group got all the above and it was so delicious. A must have when you're in Kauai..

    This must be the place is the song that comes to mind when I think back to this spot! The owner is incredibly nice and enhances the whole experience of grabbing yourself a delightful treat. The line moves quickly and we had our coffees in no time. Our coffees were surprisingly good, strong and just the fuel we needed to kick off another day in paradise.

    My cashier (who I believe was the owner) is the only shot of espresso you'll need!! Jokes aside, the vibe inside is like sunshine. Fun decor, bright colors, house music going. Great selection of fun coffee based drinks. Ordered the blended Kauai Cruiser which was a sweet start to the morning. Good hints of chocolate. Also had the Brahvacado on a rosemary bagel which was also really good and fresh. Would recommend!

    No ka maikaʻi - which literally translates to of the best - is how I'd describe Rainbeau Jo's. Down in the dumps? Take one step inside and guaranteed you will leave with a smile on your face. Beau's greetings shower you with aloha. Their vibes inside are just as warm and friendly - from the insanely adorable stickers/magnets and merch, to the wall mural and decorations. I'm shocked it's taken me so long to discover this gem. With little smiley's on the lids, to the sip cover hula dudes, what is not to love. Oh yes, and the coffee is just as good. The Rainbow Rita drinks didn't disappoint. Caramel haze left me in a happy daze. Def for those that have a sweet tooth. Smoothies were also very good. Punch card for frequent visitors too - def get one if you're on the island and plan to visit more than once. Will absolutely return next time we are in the area!

    I wish we had stumbled upon this place our first day on the island and not our second to last day. We had coffee all over Kaua'i but we were staying just down the road from this spot and decided to try it. Immediately when we walked in the vibes were high the owner was full of energy and greeted us and told us everything about the place and all of his unicorn staff was just as incredible and hyping us up. The decor was so cute and bright and fun. They had cute merch. They had great personalities and they had hula hoops, outback, which we did use. They took time to get to know us and talk to us and find out what we liked and everything we had was incredible so much that we came back the next day and ordered again. I got a standard Mac nut latte with vanilla and my daughter got some extra caramel blended drink, and then the next day she got a white chocolate blended drink with caramel added. And then my breakfast sandwich was a croissant with like a pesto, cream cheese, and sprouts and tomatoes, and it was so incredibly delicious. I can't even explain it and then my daughter had a kiawe (sp?) bagel with cream cheese and blueberry and she said it was so good. She ended up getting that both days and the croissant. I got the second day as well. I could rave for hours about this place. They just make you feel like you're a part of the family. it's literally my dream coffee shop.

    Where did Rainbeau Jo's move to? When by all of last week and again today but the truck has moved.

    If you have an Instagram, should follow their account @rainbeaujos, they keep you updated on when they're open. They have been closed for the past week or two because they're opening a new location.

    Where is this amazing truck usually located?

    As of a couple of months ago they are located at 2991 umi st in Lihue. Right in front of Restaurant Kiibo

    Is Konohiki Seafoods the best poke on Kauai? If you ask the locals, they'll probably send you here…read more This was our first stop after landing on Kauai, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was so good that we came back two more times during our trip. There are plenty of poke options to choose from, along with other local favorites. If it's your first visit, the selection can feel a little overwhelming, but the friendly staff makes the experience easy. We also tried the ginger fried chicken, and it was delicious. This is definitely a grab-and-go spot, there's no seating, but there's plenty of parking. Arrive early for the best selection, and come hungry!

My parents had Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl. Honestly, I liked the Spicy Ahi Poke Bowls better than the Crab & Shrimp Butter Aioli Poke Bowl. The "Spicy" Ahi is not spicy; it has the tiniest kick to it. And that's coming from someone that's sensitive to spice. The service is good; they're quick in giving you your food. Overall, I thought it was great! P.S. I recommend driving to Lydgate Park to eat. Beautiful ocean views and picnic benches. Just be careful; when we went, we saw three baby Portuguese Man o'War Jellyfish on the beach.

    Smiley's Local Grinds was so good that we ended up eating here two nights in a row during our trip…read moreto Kauai. The first night, my husband ordered the prime rib special with mac salad and rice, which was basically his dream come true, and I got the loco moco, which I shared with my toddler. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. We enjoyed it so much that we came back on our final night and ordered the galbi and lechon kawali. Once again, every dish was a hit. The proteins were flavorful and filling, and the mac salad deserves its own shoutout. It may be my favorite mac salad on the island. This is absolutely the kind of place we'll return to on our next visit. It's also conveniently located near the airport, making it a great first stop when you arrive or a last meal before heading home. A couple things to know before you go: parking was easy when we visited, but there isn't any seating. This is very much a pick-up-and-go spot. I'd recommend calling ahead and placing your order so you're not waiting around. Great food, generous portions, and the kind of local spot you hope to find when traveling. We'll definitely be back.

    Food: Food was really good. Did not have any complaints about the food whatsoever. I had the Loco…read moreMoco and my dad had the shrimp We both shared the Ahi...all of which were delicious. Service: Service was standard. I wouldnt say anything out of the ordinary. Food took a while as it was fairly busy. Tip: I would suggest calling in your order so that its ready by the time you arrive to save on time. Ambiance: This is not a dine-in establishment so not much to say about ambiance in general. We will def be back should we decide to visit Kaua'i again in the future.
