Crema's Take

Tucked into a parking lot near Kahului Airport, this charming drive-thru spot is a local gem that hits the spot for travelers needing a caffeine boost before the drive ahead. While their signature Maui drip coffee is worth hunting for, the creative espresso drinks like the Oatmeal Cookie latte showcase real flavor ambition, and the bright, genuinely kind staff make even a quick order feel personal. It's the kind of place that understands Hawaii's pace—convenient, unpretentious, and packed with character despite its small footprint.

It’s a small cute drive through in the parking lot. We tried the honey bee drink but it was not to my taste, it tasted with faint honey in milk with little expresso even through it had two shots. A bit too mellow but maybe another expresso shot would have made it better.

A drive thru location for Akamai coffee. Wanted to try their Maui drip coffee but what a downer that their machine was down and there was no other option except their regular espresso drinks on menu which was unfortunate. Tried their Americano - initial sip tasted bitter but the coffee had a smooth finish which was a delight. The longer I drank the coffee, it grew on me. What would have been an unfortunate rating changed throughout the day, and that’s why it’s important not to rate immediately but to allow you whole tasting and experience to sit for a bit. I still wished I could try their award winning coffee however.

We tried it after we arrived from the airport and came back the next day: - Oatmeal Cookie (Cinnamon) I loved the flavor - Hawaiian honeybee (too sweet)

More of a drive thru coffee shop. It is close to the airport so convenient for tourists with time difference to pick up coffee before driving to destination.

This location is an adorable little stand in the back of a parking lot. It's a drive up (from both sides) with two people working inside. The gal who took my order was bright, happy, and very kind. My iced latte with oat milk was excellent!
