Outpost Coffee at Hanalei Market
5-5161 Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI
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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

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…
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…
