Crema's Take

Sunrise Coffee is a family-owned gem in Lihue that balances laid-back island charm with genuinely excellent coffee and creative seasonal flavors that feel fresh rather than gimmicky. Whether you're grabbing a macadamia ice coffee to go or settling into their covered outdoor seating for the legendary Monkey Toast, the staff's warmth and the quality of both the espresso and breakfast food make this a destination worth seeking out, not just a convenient drive-by stop. It's the kind of place that feels equally welcoming whether you're meeting a friend for a slow morning or fueling up before an adventure.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We just happened to drive by Sunrise Coffee whole looking for breakfast. I highly recommend the Monkey Toast-it was the best I had in Kauai. Quick service and delicious food. There are tables outside you can eat at as well.

I ordered a macadamia ice coffee and did not tasted great. Idk if it was old coffee the way it was prepared or the flavor they used. I took 2 sips and had to throw it away. I also ordered a churro donut which my son liked. Payed $14.40 for those 2 item. A lot of add-ons on the…
