Delicious dark chocolate cafe mocha and warmed croissant sandwich served up by Levi and his coworkers. The ambiance inside is out of this world, to match with the delicious food and drink! Can't wait to go back!

The store was tastefully decorated, but the value of my espresso drink was mediocre.
I purchased a 16 oz iced vanilla latte and received about 3 ounces of espresso with 13 ounces of ice. Should’ve gotten the drink hot I guess lol
Their banana bread was average tasting and a small slice. Not worth the $4.
Their ham and cheese croissant was tasty.
I really wanted to like this store more than I did. Maybe next time it’ll win me over?

Friendly service. Nice vibe. Plenty of seating. One of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had. Banana bread is also tasty. There is parking behind the building that you get to off E Lipoa St.

Delicious coffee and great service! I ordered a 4 shot latte 🤩 while my husband got a cold brew coffee and breakfast croissant. Would come back and grab a bag of beans for home.

Great coffee! They offer 100% Maui grown and roasted beans. I stopped by for a quick pour over, and I was convinced to buy two bags of beans. Well worth a stop!

Best coffee for the past 4 days and multiple coffee shops tried. Nice atmosphere and service, their croissants were great too!
I’m happy we tried it.
Update: keep on coming to this spot daily now. People who work here even on drive thru are really sweet and making me happy.

Modern minimalist coffee spot featuring house roasted local beans. A refreshing break from the shlocky tourist traps and that Seattle-based corporate chain. These guys care about their coffee and it really shows.

Google Maps has an issue finding this place,, at least while I was here. But the important stuff... Akamai has excellent coffee. We normally do a good amount of research before picking the coffee places we will go to, and Akamai has already set a high standard. I have worked in coffee for years and highly recommend Akamai for the taste of the espresso and the drink preparation as a whole. The normal amount of syrup they put in a mocha is an excellent complement to the espresso. Fans of good coffee will love this place, fans of Starbucks might want to look elsewhere.

Best coffee on Maui. We are coffee lovers and while visiting Maui we tired multiple coffee shops. Akamai was our favorite. The staff was super friendly, the coffee shop is super nice inside and best of all the coffee was great. The iced lattes are delicious and my husband said his iced americano and his hot latte were the best he had on the island! We also tried the regular banana bread and the chocolate chip banana bread, highly recommend to add those on to your coffee order!

No wifi? And slow service…! but lots of seating. I’d say if you’re providing seating and people have their laptops you need to provide wifi access
