great coffee and super cool staff
Great coffee, friendly staff, I met a dog.
Coffee granita is a must a well as the POG slushy. Every one of the 10 times we have come to Maui from Sydney we always make daily morning vists to Lava Java. It is an institution in it's own right on the island.
Warm welcome. Great coffee. Guitars in tune. Both right and left 6 string and a 12 string.
Brought a few bags back to Canada, nothing compares! Will be ordering more when I run out.
Amazing coffee here! Definitely the best place we tried on the island. Came back every morning!! Staff are super friendly and welcoming.
I picked up an iced latte here and jt was the best coffee I had on the island.
I finished my frozen mocha so fast I forgot to take a picture. Simply amazing and kept me cool as I walked to my breakfast place.
They have white chocolate powder! Good drink, nice broista.
Great coffee and friendly staff! Walking distance of lots of shops and restaurants
My recent experience at this place was absolutely terrible. I go to Maui often and I use to recommend them to everyone I know. I won't be anymore. I took sometime before placing my review to get my emotions in check, but after a while it felt like I should share my experience, maybe it'll be helpful to the owners. One blond blue eye young lady behind the counter was beyond rude to us, I brought 3 of my friends in and was excited to show them a local spot with some local coffee, I also wanted them to try the Irish cream lattes there. During our interaction with this cashier, we've had questions about the coffee deals they were running, also my friends asked about other products sold there aside from coffee drinks... the way this person was answering our questions, while rolling her eyes was offensive and rude. We had genuine interest in spending money there, only to be treated terribly. I couldn't help but noticing how she was to other customers in front of us, smiles and thank yous, and when I saw how snarky she was answering our questions, it did get me upset, im not gonna claim its the way we looked or this and that... I don't know her reasons... all I know is how I felt after that interaction. honestly might be upset enough to never step foot in that place again. Good riddance, right? I know.. may not a big deal to a business owner losing one customer, but I truly hope they will take a deeper look at their customer service, and improve it. As a proud American, I love to help a local business everywhere I go, but in Kihei I'd just rather walk a bit further down to the Starbucks now.
I was researching cafes on Maui and thought Lava Java in Kihei looked good. It surpassed all expectations and I went back twice during my vacation. The coffee itself was the best I had on Maui and the employees were super nice. Spring for the "local" brew you won't regret it. Nothing better than a little afternoon jolt after a morning at the beach.
Must try spot! I loved their frozen mocha
The barista was super sweet! Come and support this local coffee and goodies shop!
Great coffee in Kihei, fast and strong. Check them out!
Loved this shop so much we had to visit twice! Definitely recommend, especially if you enjoy antique coffee apparatuses! They have a fantastic collection on display!
Delicious, strong coffee and a super cute coffee store! Liam and Jas from Sydney xo
I always try to hit them once while we're on island. I have had great coffee there before. It is just ok coffee.
