Really enjoyed this place / didn't expect to find such a great coffee place here! Would go here over places near home (in Seattle). Really great stuff.

In 25 years of drinking coffee I have never tasted coffee this good - aromatic, rich, refreshing, this really is coffee worth traveling to this location for.

Best coffee we have had in our 3 weeks in Hawaii. And to be honest, probably up there with the best coffee we have had in the US in general! I'm talking about espresso coffees of course!

I picked this shop out of a hat one morning to get coffee and a light breakfast. It was spacious, quiet, had plenty of cool air inside, and had outdoor seating too. They have a few pastries and breakfast sandwich options to choose from. My cappucinno with coconut milk was pretty solid and strong (they default to double shots with everything). The veggie bagel was a little less exciting. The bagel itself was soft and really good, but the toppings didn't stand out or add to it. I'd come back for another drink and to relax for a little bit on a hot day.

It's one of the best places in Kauai to have coffee!

Enjoyed the space and the drip coffee. Love seeing a coffee roaster in the corner and they were happy to talk "coffee nerd" stuff with me. Parking was a bit tricky.

Look no further, you have found THE best coffee shop on the island. We drove over an hour for multiple days during our stay just to come back here because other coffee shops didn't even compare. The oat milk salted maple latte was our absolute favorite- I will genuinely miss getting coffee here after we leave.

Best coffee on the Island! Tried a bunch of coffee shops on all sides of the island and this one comes on top! Roast their own beans and use good technique along with top ingredients. Keep it up!

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

Fantastic coffee and friendly people. The coffee here is probably one of the best I’ve tasted so far on the island. Plus the place is really cool - inside a former Japanese community center where immigrant workers for the sugar factory gathered in earlier times. Also the veggie bagels were really tasty and special.

Wonderful coffee shop experience in peaceful Koloa. What to say: huge windows, bright natural light, calm ocean breezes coming through artistic slat windows; there is even a small, yet refreshingly pleasant art gallery. All these features are accentuated by the aroma of a rather wide selection of ground coffees and the attentive staff of baristas who prepare the drinks. It is a great atmosphere to relax and recuperate or even perhaps study while partaking of some the delicious assortment of light and simple food items offered (see attached pictures of the current menu offerings). They even have free Wi-Fi, just ask the barista for the current password. By far the best coffee shop experience on the Southern half of the island, a must see!
