    Love this cute little coffee shop. There's so many different seating areas to enjoy your coffee and pastries. They also have sandwiches. The workers were friendly. I would recommend when in Makawao!

    Atmosphere and location an easy 10/10. Several seating choices with totally different vibes. You could bring a laptop and be left in peace upstairs or even bring a typewriter and make a ruckus without bothering anyone closer to the street. No matter where you sit, it is beautiful. The pastry treats were delicious. We had the apple pull aparts and the almond croissants. Just the right amount of sweet. Service was fast and our drinks were good too. We wish we didn't have other things we wanted to do today so we could have hung out longer.

    Hidden little coffe spot. There are tables inside and outside. There are some yummy looking pastries (we did not have any but they looked good). The gals working were not friendly, but also not rude. The coffee was made quickly. Not much of a flavor. Coffee was not very strong (almost like they forgot to put the shot of espresso in). The largest they have is a 16oz. I drank about half and tossed the rest. There are a lot of great reviews so maybe it was an "off day". Wont be back but worth trying.

    Charming little spot in Makawao! Had the ceremonial hot matcha and it was custom made by the lovely barista's we added there turmeric and macnut milk it was smooth, flavorful, and just what I needed. The lemon lavender scone was a lovely surprise--light, not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the matcha. Cozy vibe, cute cafe, and a great treat stop when you're upcountry. Parking is located at the lot around corner. Will definitely be back!

    Had their mushroom chai latte it was pretty good, the vibe is actually pretty chill, I liked it, however the person manning the cashier seemed to not be the friendliest. But it's ok maybe it's just not her day. Would def come For a sip of coffee.

    Banana Bread & Chocolate Croissant

    So good my family and I came back twice! The outside seating is very nice and offers plenty of shade. The workers are both friendly and helpful. And the drinks themselves are very well-made. Everything my family sipped was good, but I honestly cannot recommend the lavender latte enough. It was simply delicious. The flavors were balanced and perfectly complimented one another to make a near-perfect drinking experience. The baked goods were also great (the banana bread being my favorite). This is most definitely a worthy stop in Makawao!

    Refreshing and hit the spot!

    We had just finished a heavy lunch in Kula and were on our way to hike Twin Falls Trail. We were feeling the food coma kick in, so we left it up to Yelp to find us a coffee place for a boost of caffeine! We ended up in a quaint country town of Makawao. Honestly this place wasn't on our itinerary, but I wish I could have spent more time here...so many shops and local businesses to check out! We parked along the side of the road and walked a short distance to Vida. What an adorable picturesque little coffee shop! The interior was open and airy. Great friendly service from the young ladies who greeted us with friendly smiles as well. Order up: Iced Neopolitan Cold Brew (had fresh strawberry bits in it...yummy!). Glad we stumbled across this place! What a great find! Aloha & mahalo till next time...

    IMHO This is a hidden gem behind Sherri Reeve Gallery. Never knew it existed before until my daughters found it. Their father wasn't feeling well, a little under-the-weather, and the nice lady behind the counter suggested a "grab & go" cold pressed health shot for him. This is a bright and colorful establishment that also serves pastries! It is a very welcoming environment, and the service helpful and friendly! Next time I visit, I will order a yummy latte for myself!

    Rose latte w espresso
    Emmeline W.

    Caffeine-free options!!!! That are good!!! We were immediately drawn in by the tropical decor & fun drink menu. Vida is beyond the main street, in an alley between Tiger Eye Salon & Collections. Quick service. We stopped in on a weekday afternoon and experienced little to no wait, though the cafe was nearly full. Their menu definitely appeals to the hippy crowd, seeing that many items include herbs or superfoods, or have vegan/gluten-free options. ROSE LATTE: Real rose petals in every sip, for better or for worse. Their blend is heavily aromatic-- tastes like actual rose, not at all like floral syrup. Their entryway also offers coffee paraphernalia for sale, like coffee pots, coasters, and roasted beans.

    Pumpkin coffee cake, donuts and latte
    Michelle N.

    Located down a short alleyway across from Komoda Bakery, this small coffee shop is typical of Makawao shopping in that it is pretty pricey. What isn't usual is the friendly service and healthier pastry choices. They have gluten free and vegan donuts, muffins and breads. Their drink menu is extensive and really yummy. We chose the lavender and chai lattes, great, and the deep rose lemonade, too flowery tasting. We also had the chocolate gluten free and vegan donuts, tasty but a bit dry, and the pumpkin coffee cake which was okay. I am definitely looking forward to when they get the baked goods from their usual bakery back.

    Great coffee spot in Makawao! Fun ambiance and great drinks and a variety of pastries and GF options. Highly recommend a Cold Brew or an espresso based drink!

I was able to catch them multiple days. Tried the açaí bowl, pineapple combo bowl, lawa flow smoothie. Opted to get no papaya on my items as that's not my jam. All the fruit was cut fresh. I enjoyed the bases were sorbets so they held up nicely walking up and down the boardwalk. The line can get long but moves quickly. Luckily each time I've visited there has only been a few people ahead of me. Can't beat a freshly made açaí bowl by the ocean with friendly staff! Highly recommend if you're nearby visiting!

He tried to keep a "cool" vibe, but it came off as all over the place. For a small canopy stand, the portion size of fruit wasn't worth the price at all. What concerned me most was seeing him handle cash and then immediately put straws into customers' drinks without washing his hands. Mentioning this ahead of time, I know he will most likely respond defensively and not accept that changes need to be made to improve the business. I could already see his attitude while I was waiting to order and again while waiting for my food. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I had high hopes, but I won't be coming back or recommending it.
