Akamai Coffee Co.
100 Pakaula St, Kahului, HI
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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available. Drive-thru.

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!
Ventured here from our resort to buy a few bags of fresh beans for a friend. Located in the Home Depot parking lot by the airport, this little shack has drive through and walk up service. I got the chocolate chip banana bread and A New Orleans style coffee. My wife got a turkey…
