    Iced chai with macnut milk, bravacado bagel with lox shmear

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coco Crunch Ombre with coconut milk

    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

    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..

    Iced mac nut latte with oat milk

    This was such a great find on our way home! We needed 1 last breakfast before flying home and I'm so glad we found Rainbeau Jo's! As soon as we walked in, I knew I'd love everything about it! Fun 80s music was blasting! Service was great! The owners are funny and attentive. We loved all their food and drink suggestions. The pesto cream cheese on rosemary bagel is absolutely fantastic! The coffee was amazing! They also had great merch. I got some cute stickers and a funny shirt. When my son asked for stickers for himself, he was challenged to get me and his dad to hula hoop out back and be filmed in slow motion. Of course we obliged and he was rewarded with a sticker for each of our videos. Will definitely return here when we come back to 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.

    Cinnamon Roll and Pineapple danish
    Pauline S.

    Absolutely loved the vibe here at Rainbeau Jo's! When you walk in, your feel so special since they greet you like an old friend you haven't seen in a while. I loved learning about Beau (the guy at the register who greets you) and Jo (making the delicious coffees) are husband and wife! It looks like they make a great team. We ordered: -Cold Brew ($4.95/12 oz)+ Mac Nut Flavor ($1) + Mac Nut Milk ($1.25): delicious Mac flavor -Pineapple Danish and Cinnamon Roll: both were delicious warmed up They also sell cute merch including clothes, stickers, and more. I couldn't help myself and bought their purple crop t-shirts. Lovely coffee shop to start your morning. I highly recommend checking out Rainbeau Jo's!

    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

    I can see why they were voted best Hawaiian ice 5 years in a row!…read more Simply THE BEST. I think what makes their shaved ice stand out are the toppings and the quality of their flavors. These aren't regular dyed syrups anyone can buy from a grocery store. House made, fresh ingredients is what sets this place a part. Service is quick with a kiosk or you can place your order with a worker in the front. Clean and spacious shop that offers free parking and restrooms. The taste will blue you away and I wish this place had another location in California because I'll be dreaming about it until I go back! Mahalo!!!

    This place was really outstanding and we went twice on our recent trip to Kauai (June 2026). It…read morereally stood out for it's creative flavor combinations and we had it tied for our top shave ice place in Kauai. Here is our overall ranking of shave ice places in Kauai for our trip: Kauai Shave Ice Rankings 2026 1. (Tied) North Shore Bowls in Kilauea - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, nice fluffy ice, good ice cream, flavorful syrups 1. (Tied) Wailua Shave Ice - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, delicious toppings, very good ice texture and ice cream; too light on the syrup for one of our two trips 3. Wishing Well in Hanalei - good fluffy ice and really flavorful natural syrups; downside is it's very crowded (always!) and pretty basic 4. JoJo's in Hanalei - this is a standard shave ice place; ice was a bit compact and icy, but the syrup was plentiful (maybe too much, if you can believe that, for our one visit) and the ice cream was both generous and good 5. Hee Fat in Kapaa - great flavors but the syrup was light coverage, and the ice cream seemed gummy/freezer burned, ice was decent texture; used to be our favorite in Kauai in years past, but it hasn't kept up with other places and maybe the quality has gone down hill 6. Honu Shave Ice in Kapaa - syrup was very light, almost nonexistent on one of our shave ices, ice was clumpy/chunky, ice cream was really minimal, flavors were decent
