MELROSE
3178 Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“Melrose is a charming Lihue café that feels like stepping into a carefully curated time capsule, where every thoughtful detail—from custom napkins to the aesthetic—creates an unexpectedly magical escape. Their signature drinks like the Hawaiian Tropic are genuinely memorable, paired perfectly with fresh, creative pastries like their celebrated ube cream cheese offering, making it worth a deliberate stop rather than just a pass-by. The welcoming, calming atmosphere makes it equally suited for lingering over coffee with friends or stealing a quiet moment alone.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

What a fantastic coffee shop. If you’re in Kauai, this is a must stop super friendly and the beautiful thing is Jade, the owner is a big supporter of giving back to the community. Stop by say hi!
The best best mocha on the island! Excellent customer service and adorable inside!! Love the ladies who helped us- so sweet !!

The Hawaiian Tropic was to die for!! Sad I went at the end of my trip because this was the best coffee we had on island, if not EVER! Pastries were super good and fresh. The shop itself was so cute and aesthetic, and I LOVED the heart straws. Definitely a must go
