Crema's Take

Tucked in Waimea, this hybrid café and woodshop is a creative haven where you'll find thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks alongside the owner's handmade furniture and surfboards. The space radiates genuine warmth—reviewers rave about the friendly owners who love connecting with customers over coffee and conversation, whether that's about woodworking, ecology, or just life. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger with your laptop or settle in for a real conversation, backed by what locals say is some of the best coffee on the island.

Love the creativity and honoring of community here. Oh, and the coffee was the best I have had on Kauai. Thank you for a wonderful break and chat about…woodworking, ecology, community! Support this business, you will be glad you did.

I love this place. The owners are so friendly, and the combination of a café and wood shop gives it such a unique, cozy vibe. It’s perfect for grabbing a quick cup of coffee and relaxing for a bit. I picked up breakfast from the Mama Bear food truck nearby and was able to bring it in—enjoyed my meal with a great cup of coffee. Such a welcoming spot.

You specifically updated your holiday hours with Google and then didn’t honor them. Your two dogs growled at me when I opened your business’ door(don’t have dogs around if they aren’t friendly) and you as the owner were really not a very kind person. Yikes.

Awesome coffee shop, and even cooler wood shop! The owner was super nice and even showed us the back end of his shop. He showed us his custom table tops, furniture, surf boards and other stuff he makes all of which were super impressive and high quality! He talked tools with me. And was very kind and engaging with everyone. Go check it out you won't be disappointed!

This coffee shop is an absolute gem! Not only do they serve good coffee, but the atmosphere is filled with creativity and inspiration. There is also local art, and their custom work offerings make it a unique and personal shopping experience. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a great cup of coffee while discovering one-of-a-kind pieces. Highly recommend stopping by—you’ll leave with more than just a caffeine boost!
