Dark Horse Coffee Roasters

Delicious drinks and friendly staff in a cozy space with an art gallery in the back.

The Sea Salt Mocha was amazing. Such contrasting, yet complimentary, flavors make this a winner! The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and so friendly. Thank you.

This place is chefs kiss. Look no further. I did, and I wish I had found this place sooner. They have all the good stuff, BOMB banana bread, my husband got the cortado which was perfect, and I got the salted mocha with macadamia nut milk. We can’t wait to go again tomorrow mornin before we leave town and will definitely come again on our next trip to Kauai!

Went to 4 coffee shops in 5 days and the haupia cold brew was BY FAR the best drink I had!

If you taste preferences lean towards light/specialty/third wave, this is probably one of your best bets on Kauai. A really nice space, in a cute little town. Definitely a nice stop if you’re in the area, even pretty bikeable from Poipu.

Clean, spacious, delicious, hipster-island-vibe. Enjoying the iced cold brew with macadamia milk and latte with oat milk. Friendly baristas and local art on the walls. Also, the cleanest public bathroom I've ever been in. Stylish, sleek crips lines, everything matched the color palette. It really was pleasant. The only downside was it seemed the building had been a city grange or some other public space and I had a difficult time verifying this was a coffee shop from outside. A small neon "open" sign was the only indication. Cool place!

Easy parking, friendly staff and delicious coffee. You can tell they are selective about the beans they buy! My go to drink is the sea salt mocha. In the merchandise section, everything has a cool and intentional design as well. If you're looking for souvenirs, you'll find things here that you can't find in other shops. I grabbed an insulated mug with the dark horse logo. If I wore t-shirts in a men's cut, I would have snagged the Beavis and Butt-Head shirt as well. Maybe put it on a mug?

Some of the best coffee you can find on the island. This place is a staple of delicious coffee drinks with awesome vibes.

Stopped for an iced latte and iced coffee with coconut cold foam. Thought both were great. Went back a second time. I order the iced cold foam without the sweetener in the coffee would highly suggest to anyone who doesn’t prefer sweet coffee drinks.

Great coffee, highly recommend the matcha tea and sea salt mocha.
