Cafe Ma'kai

The Iced Vanilla Latte is the best we've found in Nashville. Relaxing, open bamboo island type atmosphere. Reasonably priced. This place is a hidden gem. We didn't realize it was a coffee shop until we looked it up.

I have loved this place since it opened. The owner is friendly and the staff too! The smoothies are unique and use sun butter. They have a small breakfast and lunch menu that is quite tasty. And you can get gluten free too. ♡♡♡ Thank you!!

Unassuming from the outside, but wonderfully cozy, clean, and happy on the inside. Excellent drip coffee, reasonably priced simple and delicious breakfast foods and pastries, and I can't wait to come back to try some of the smoothies. Don't count on wifi, guest network appears to be broken. Sweet staff team and spacious, calm environment with plenty of table seating and some couch seating too. Walking distance from Belmont if you need a good study spot.

Coffee was good. Food was not good at all. Super overpriced and the quality was subpar (ie under seasoned, bread was dry, cheese in sandwich was literally a 1inch square in the middle of the sandwich?). Again, coffee was good and the shop has cute ambience/ friendly staff- just don’t get the food.

Makai was such a great experience. The baristas were incredibly kind and attentive. The vibe and choice of music was great and fitting for a lunch/espresso while catching up on work. And the catfish tacos..... I’ll definitely be back!

coffee is something myself and many people like me are a little particular about. this establishment has a great selection of premium quality coffees to satisfy even the most sensitive palates. I try to stop by here on the way to the office as often as possible. the prices aren't cheap but you certainly get what you pay for. if you ask me, it's worth an extra buck for something that is satisfying and skillfully prepared as this!

I got some sort of strawberry latte from Makai. The coffee itself had good flavor, though didn’t taste the strawberry at all and I had so many coffee grounds floating at the top and at the very bottom that I had to strain it when I got home.

Super cute Hawaiian style coffee shop. I like the decor and vibe of the place. I had tea and the fruit parfait. Delicious!

Wonderful café and great place to host a party! Everyone there is so helpful and professional! Loved working with Grace and Sam for our baby shower. I'll hopefully have all my parties there in the future!

Awesome breakfast sammy on a great biscuit. Loved it. The coffee was fine, not great. Inside was clean and comfortable. Good place to get some work done away from the house.
