the haven
Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“The Haven in Lihue has earned its stellar reputation as Kauai's best coffee destination, where creative signature drinks like their celebrated blueberry matcha and secret menu items (ask for the Churro Aerocano) steal the show just as much as their expertly crafted traditional lattes and chai. The warm, thoughtfully designed space with comfortable outdoor seating and welcoming staff creates the perfect setting to linger over pastries and light bites, whether you're meeting friends or celebrating after a day on the trail. It's the kind of place that leaves visitors thinking about their drinks long after they've left the island.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I had a really good white mocha, they definitely know how to to foam milk correctly. Also we had the pretzel with 'stone ground mustard cream cheese' and it was literally one of the best things on the trip. Baristas were also super nice!
The best coffee shop in Kauai. My latte was so good I got a seasonal chai to go right after finishing it. It was a smart move. I'll go here anytime I'm in the area!
We drove up from the south side of the island just for their blueberry matcha and it did not disappoint. The vibes were cool and the drink was so tasty. We are still thinking about it back home & haven't found anyone to replicate. Easy to park and area to sit down and enjoy.
The best coffee shop on Kauai. Make sure to ask about the secret menu. I got a Churro Aerocano that was outstanding. My wife also loved the chai latte that she got. The ambiance is amazing, the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And, most importantly, the coffee itself…
