Crema Maui

Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Kahului, this charming coffee shop has converted a vintage school bus into an unexpectedly delightful space that draws you in the moment you walk through the door. Their espresso-focused menu goes beyond the basics with creative signature drinks and thoughtfully crafted lattes that pack a serious punch, paired perfectly with fresh pastries in a calm, inviting environment that's ideal for lingering over a cup or catching up with friends.”

Be open minded and try it out. Here is my observation and experience. Not a welcoming in personality of young staff members (2). Smile young ladies!! and say “Hi” to your customers especially if they tell you it’s my first time here. Nice was the simplified menu for viewing. Decent options of beverages to choose from. Not much pastries available and in which what was available, it didn’t look appetizing and looked deformed in shape. I chose the gluten free coffee cake as of all the few to choose from that was the most decent looking pastry, it had a okay texture however I found it wasn’t quite balanced as far as it had too much streusel topping over low and dense cake that made it too rich and oddly mushy. Experienced the Fire Side Mocha hot beverage, and cold Coconut Horchata beverage. Fire side Mocha wasn’t as hot, and I found it to be just okay in flavor, too watery and lacked the chocolate flavor, also note the cinnamon was very coarse. The coconut horchata also was just meh. I was just not wowed for the taste and texture and temperature of the items I ordered, and the location to sit outside was a bit smelly from that open grassy area and it was hot too. I’f you choose to sit out where they provide tables and chairs (thank you) and if vehicle drives up to park, you will have dust blow your way and on your food and beverage. The merchandise for sale in the trolley in my opinion was over priced but cute. Restroom across the street. Trolley cafe concept adorable! 💕
Want some great coffee?! Well you found it. Always friendly always fun some of the best upcountry.
Little cute unique coffee shop with two beautiful young ladies working behind the line. The hot latte that I had for my own level of the espresso was quiet strong with a pretty nice touch decorated on top. My husband had ice vanilla latte and he said it was really good. I’m glad we stopped by and give this a try 🤙🏼🌺
Quaint breakfast and coffee spot in a very quiet and nice environment. Coffee is pretty good, pastries were tasty too. There's a good selection of unique drinks besides the conventional coffee options
I fell in love with this place pretty much the moment I saw it. They've converted an old school bus into the cutest coffee shop. The proprietor was there and she was absolutely lovely. But the decor and conversion of the van are outstanding and adorable. We had a pour-over coffee and a Mocha the mocha was just delicious. We didn't order food but the pastry case was exquisite. Take a look at the photo of the small but incredible charcuterie board. They also sell little plants in the store and a couple of little gifty items like candles. There are little tables set up outside and it could be a great place to stop with your friends and kids and have a coffee. We were on our way to Haleakala and this was a wonderful caffeine boost on our way there.
