Crema's Take

Tucked into the back of Hanalei Market, this espresso-focused spot punches above its weight with specialty-grade coffee that locals and visitors alike genuinely rave about—their cold brew and creatively flavored lattes (think coconut dulce de leche and macadamia nut) strike that elusive balance between adventurous and refined. The young, efficient staff brings warmth to this standing-room-only counter, and the fresh pastries and bagels pair perfectly with coffee that's taken seriously, making it feel less like a tourist trap and more like a neighborhood gem where real care goes into every cup.

If you want actually good coffee, I would suggest going here. We got Espresso, cold brew and Matcha. All are great, and close to specialty grade. Other coffee shops here have fun sugary drinks but other than this place haven't found any actual good "coffee".

This was a really nice little place and use little loosely. It seemed to have everything. Great coffee too. Bagel was fantastic. Staff was nice. Locals were in (heard several greeted) so also a good sign.

Delicious lattes! Got the coconut dulce de leche and macademia nut ones. Both were flavorful but not overpowering or too sweet which I really appreciated. They can have a bit of a line depending on when you get there.

The staff was nice, and the coffee shop was very cute. But Unfortunately this coffee shop was not good and we did not enjoy it. I ended up taking like 5 sips of my 16oz iced mocha and threw it away. There was no flavor to the mocha and it did not taste like coffee. It was super expensive. We will say My Fiancé had her coffee with the Coconut whipped cream and that was amazing though!

This little coffee shop without seating, is located at the back of the Hanalei Market. The young lady taking our orders was perfect for her position. She had a lovely smile and was efficient. The young lady making the coffee was serious, made no eye contact and placed the coffee over to the side without making sure the customers new their orders were ready. I ordered a Mac Nut Latte and I found that I would probably have preferred a simple coffee instead. My friend did not get the coffee that she ordered. They didn’t tell her that the coffee she ordered was not available until they made her something else. So… That was a bit strange. The lines were long after the order was put in, and I think they might benefit from having another barista working there during busier times.
