First Wave Coffee
176 Ho'okele St, Kahului, HI
Crema's Take
“This food truck run by two brothers has mastered the art of making every customer feel like a friend, with genuine warmth that shows in their willingness to comp drinks when waits run long. While their espresso is solid, they're really known for their matcha program—six+ rotating flavors so good that even confirmed tea skeptics leave as converts. It's worth arriving early and waiting in line for a quick, genuine experience that captures the best of Maui's laid-back spirit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Quick-grab spot.
