Great spot for awesome coffee (or non coffee) drinks in the morning or afternoon.
A decent breakfast selection for both light or a little more substantial food. Mac nut latte was perfection (not too sweet, perfect slight smooth nutty flavor) and the Thai iced coffee was similarly delicious (smooth, not overly sweet.. perfect).
So far the lemon ricotta pancakes and grilled ham and egg have been our favorite breakfast items.
Everyone was super pleasant. We got there just after opening and it got a bit busy around 6:30am but not overly where I would say don't go, they are pretty quick with the drinks. It's worth it. We will for sure be coming back.
Incredible find for healthy breakfast on the go! Loved the surfer girl and cinnamon roll. Fast service but also can order ahead on their mobile app (note the pastries are not available there). The little monkey was a good smoothie start to the day to replace coffee. They also boast delicious coffee drink and other pastries. Usually can find local street parking.
Great food and tasty drinks! The Belgian waffle was crunchy and fresh. The burrito was savory and filling too. All the food is delicious! Order around back, and here is seating around the side and front. Arrive early this place is popular!
A great spot to start your morning. I always order online and pick up since it gets busy quick. We went here several times on our vacation and my husband was in love with it.
We tried their açaí bowl, surfer girl sandwich, breakfast burrito, and other items. They were all tasty!
Extremely delicious for breakfast!! Everything we ordered was fresh and nicely prepared. I recommend the Tropical Waffles. So delicious!!! The place itself is beautiful and there is a small shop next to it with cute little souvenirs.
Java Kai is a must whenever we visit Kauai 🌺…..this coffee shop is the BEST on the island!! Love the vibe & the food is BOMB 💥!!! The breakfast sandwiches & the Waffles are so delicious 👌🏼& coffee drinks too! I also tried the tasty Matcha Man Go smoothie!
*Also just a heads up, you might have to wait a bit for seating if you have more than two in your group.
We went a couple of times for breakfast and coffee during our stay! Great place to grab something quick. The staff is friendly. The pastries are delicious. The savory breakfast options could be more elevated for the price according to me. We had better options in other places in Kauai.
We popped in here for breakfast one morning. Great choices and delicious coffee. They had some outdoor seating as well. Gets busy as morning goes on, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. Happy to support local coffee shops over Starbucks while on the islands 😊
Favorite breakfast spot, great smoothies, yummy breakfast—waffles were a bit sweet, however we enjoyed everything else we tried! Great Thai coffee, Mac Nut Latte, Black Lava Smoothie (light, creamy, not sweet). Favorite food was the Power Bowl. Went here multiple times during our stay. Grab your food and then sit in the nearby beach to enjoy!
This was the best breakfast spot around! We got 4 entrees between 3 of us because we wanted to try so many different ones. They were all very delicious and unique. I also got a golden milke latte that was phenomenal. I would definitely recommend this place as a place to get breakfast or lunch, just arrive early as it will get busy around 8:30-9am
