    Açaí Bowl
    Kami S.

    We stopped at this little coffee place on our way to Waimea Canyon. It's ticked away along a main road and set up in a food truck. There were picnic tables set up throughout the property so there was ample seating for those who wanted to sit and enjoy their food and drinks. There was only one person working there, but she did an awesome job taking and preparing orders. She was also so sweet and friendly! We ordered four drinks and an açaí bowl. My son works at a coffee house in CA and he gave thumbs up for everything we ordered. Definitely go and support this little business when you're in Lihue or just passing through!

    $70 for a quick snack but super cute place and tasty!! Açaí bowl was delicious and refreshing! Try the Guava orange juice. Ordered a bagel and a doughnut and both warmed up hot and fresh! Avocado toast was Hula Hula good!!

    Honey latte
    Megan F.

    Loved the variety of options at this little food truck tucked away off the highway. The coffee is a darker roast if that's your vibe. Finding a golden milk latte was a good way to start my day! No maple syrup but they do have honey or vanilla syrup to sweeten it. There's plenty of outdoor seating if you want to stop and stay a while. And the service was outstanding.

    White Mocha Toffee latte.

    Sunrise Cafe is in such a convenient location right off the main road, making it the perfect quick stop. The coffee was absolute perfection, and the açaí bowl was hands down the best one I've had on the island so far. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The vibes at this little truck were perfect relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want while enjoying a great breakfast stop.

    Stopped by for coffee on Christmas Eve morning bc the place looked so cute when we drove by. I had to get something from the Christmas menu of course. Ordered the candycane latte. The girls begins the counter were super friendly. My coffee was ready quickly and we walked around to check out the place. Would love to have tried more things here. Great vibes. Great aloha. Great coffee. Mahalo!

    Great coffee and matcha, but not a fan of the location or price . Visited on our way to Kauai Backyard adventures( coffee spot is 2 mins away) for a little pre adventure pick me up. Location is off a busy road and at a curve so keep an eye out or you'll miss it. Cute little coffee trailer with good amount of parking and outside sitting area if you order food and wanna eat or enjoy coffee there. Service was nice but nothing over the top. Iced Caramel vanilla latte and lilikoi match were both tasty and perfect balance of sweetness. Now the price... a little bit crazy, 2 drinks $18 and some change. They charge base price please extra for flavor AND milk of choice. Glad we tried.

    This place is definitely my top three coffee stops on the island. The menu is extensive and there's really nothing you can think of that's not on there. Luckily, we were there in September so we got to try their seasonal fall beverages. They have my fave macadamia nut milk instead of regular milk so that's always a treat. I spent the last two years thinking about their avocado toast. And I'm happy to report a taste just as good as it did. It's very generous on the avocado and the seasoning really makes it. The girls in the truck are super nice. Very helpful at explaining the different options and helping you decide which drink to choose. It's a little stop off the road so if you're driving too fast, you might miss it. And be sure to say hi to the kitty cat.

    Cute little coffee truck on the side of the road that I passed by multiple times so I had to give it a try. I ordered a specialty latte and was excited to try it but unfortunately it wasn't that great. The service was okay and the place itself was a cute vibe but the coffee didn't do it for me. I'm a huge coffee drinker and have tried a lot of coffee so I am picky when it comes to drinks. Might give them another try and taste something else, maybe it was just a one off.

    Banana matcha
    Jovian L.

    Very cute coffee stand! I got the banana matcha latte. Great service. Drinks came out quickly. Minus one star because the Kirkland brand oat milk was very overpowering and I couldn't taste much of the matcha.

    To the side of the road going to Lihue side. I always get excited to try new coffee, so when I saw they had a s'mores flavor I knew I had to get it. Anyway, we arrived in the morning, had no line no customers waiting. So I stood at the order window. The ladies saw me, but didn't acknowledge or anything. I was ready to give my order, but waited for like 5 mins for them to actually come to the window to take my order. When we finally got our order, the açaí bowl was filled. My daughter really enjoyed the bowl she couldn't finish it. She liked how it didn't have nuts too. The s'mores coffee was eh :/ Wasn't iced enough, not sweet, & mainly milky. I couldn't taste the s'mores flavor at all. It was pricey, spent about $28 for just two items. Service wasn't good. So if I had to come back, it would be for the açaí bowl mainly.

    Natural born coffee drinker!

    Bagels and coffee hit the spot. Iced Vanilla Macadamia with whipped cream, toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and to my surprise a bagel with cream cheese and pesto. You taste something new everyday! Delicious! Service was efficient and very hospitable. We will visit again before we leave! Just don't blink, you might miss it!

    Vanilla Mac nut matcha latte
    Tiffany A.

    The macadamia nut milk vanilla matcha I had was very good! Not too sweet and the flavors were lovely. We also decided to get a churro donut. Unfortunately, it was not a hit. The dough was quite dense and dry- not really a donut. My girlfriend also said she didn't like it. We know they fry their donuts in coconut oil and we're quite open-minded when it comes to healthy foods and how they taste but this was just too dry. You had to drink something after every bite...

    Too pricey drip coffee with flavorings, may be charging for the ambiance, not taste. Not recommended for carry out.

There are cookie doughs you can take home and bake. I wish I had an oven so I could do just that. There are a lot of coffee options to choose from and many sound really good. I went with Mr. melrose since it is the namesake drink, makes me think it's a signature. I really liked it! I chose dark chocolate and it wasn't too sweet, which was just right. Coffee was smoothe and really refreshing to drink. We also got the truffle egg croissant which I highly highly recommend. It's so good. Packed with plenty of eggs, definitely taste the truffle and my goodness that croissant was very well made, well laminated, buttery, moist and flakey at the same time. The barista was also very very kind. Great service! I highly highly recommend.

    I'm gonna keep this simple…read more In a twist of fate...... I have discovered that My NEW Favorite coffee shop on the beautiful Island of Kauai is..... Drum Roll Please..... MELROSE!!!!!!! That's it. That's my Review. What do you think? Gotcha! Alright, here's how it went down. During our most recent trip to Kauai, we went to our favorite little local breakfast spot in Lihue, known as Tip Top. Fun Fact #1: Tip Top has been around for over 100 years (yeah! It was Established in 1916). Fun Fact #2: Hawai'i didn't even become a state until 1959. Crazy right! Anywho... that morning we drove into Lihue and pulled into the Tip Top parking lot just like we do every trip to Kauai. But this visit, as we approached the front door, there was a sign posted at the entrance saying something along the lines of: "Sorry, No coffee today". Now I don't know about you, but you don't wanna see me without my morning brew. Of course, this didn't detour us from having a delicious breakfast at our favorite little hole on the wall. (Check out Tip Top if you want to eat with the locals) So as soon as breakfast was over, we got back in the rental car and went on Yelp to find us a place to get coffee. And after my wife scrolled for a few minutes looking at the different coffee shops nearby, she suddenly exclaimed: "oh this place looks cute!" In my head, my exact thought was ... "cute?". I don't want cute! I want caffeine, Lots of caffeine! But I was desperate. I didn't care if the place was cute or not, I just wanted coffee Stat! The drive from Tip Top was less than 2 minutes before we pulled into the Parking lot of Melrose. Initial impression: is this place even open? There were windows, but they were all covered and you couldn't see inside. Me: Oh great, it looks closed. Are we gonna have to settle for McDonalds coffee across the street? My wife: Just go check. Yelp says they're open. So I walk up, anxiously hoping for the best and..... To my surprise, they were open. Ok, this is where it went from good to GREAT! We walked in and my first thought (fellas don't judge) (ladies, I finally get it) The place was soooo CUTE!!! Haha Yeah, it was 1/2 Boutique (apparel, accessories, gifting) And 1/2 coffee shop/café. And of course, beautiful roses throughout. The 2 young ladies behind the counter were so sweet, kind and made us feel so welcomed. While looking at coffee menu to see what we wanted, we were offered a sample of their collagen melon milk frozen concoction. Ho. Lee. Crap. This stuff was ridiculously delicious, so you know we had to get ourselves a full size one for the kids to share. In addition we got a Miss Melrose (iced) and a Mocha Melrose (hot) for my mother-in-law waiting in the car with the kids. All drinks were out of this world and definitely made with love! Speaking of Love... Their straws are pink and are HEART SHAPED!!! Yeah, this place didn't leave any detail out. Everything from the product they sell (the coffee and merchandise in the boutique), the whole vibe this space gives off, and of course the kind hearted staff they employ here... Melrose, you deserve every star I'm giving you! It was too bad we had just come from breakfast, otherwise we totally would have eaten here because everything looked/sounded so good from their bakery menu. We liked it so much, we decided to stop in a few days later when we were passing through Lihue and realized this time, they were actually closed (closed on Sundays). Thankfully for us, Kauai is our home away from home in our hearts and we have been so blessed to be able to come back so often and share this special place with our kids. Melrose know this... We will 1000% be coming back and know that every person I talk to that's going to Kauai, I will pass on the good word about your shop. I wish you nothing, but success until me see you again. Mahalo!
