Crema's Take

Kraken Coffee transforms a casual Kihei stop into a vibrant local gem where espresso drinks like the legendary Kihei Kicker compete with silky matcha lattes that keep visitors returning day after day. The laid-back, curious atmosphere and genuinely warm staff—regulars rave about the baristas by name—make this feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like catching up with friends who happen to make exceptionally crafted coffee.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

This was such a cute local coffee joint. Very curious cool atmosphere and so much better than a big chain. We sat inside while waiting for my son’s diving lesson to be over and got to watch all the helpful friendly staff and the drinks were good tasting and not overpriced.
