Kraken Coffee and Shave Ice Wailea Cafe

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.

Most incredible coffee latte I have ever had - kihei kicker with 4 shots of espresso, Irish cream and half and half. My wife enjoyed a very strong and delicious matcha latte as well. Highly recommend!

I went in today and the service and atmosphere was AMAZING!!!! The girls, Ava Hailey and Isabelle, working today were so sweet and helpful! We are staying at the Marriott down the road and when we asked for any recommendations for places to visit on island the barista were so kind and eager to help. Also the coffee is SOOO good, definitely the best on island, I got the Surfs Up Cold Brew and the Kraken soda (I truly recommend that)! If you’re looking for the BEST coffee coffee on island with the best customer service and cutest cafe come to the kraken coffee cafe in Wailea!!!

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.

We came across Kraken Coffee in Wailea while visiting Maui and loved it so much, we ended up coming back almost every morning! Their matcha lattes are absolutely outstanding. Smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Pro tip - add white chocolate pumps to your matcha, you won’t be disappointed. The staff is overflowing with aloha vibes and genuine kindness, which made every visit feel like a warm welcome. We also loved the unique wood-carved octopus tables, they add such a fun and creative local touch to the space. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Stoked to have this new coffee spot in the neighborhood! All of the staff is super friendly (we love Liz)! My go-to fave drink is the matcha latte with 2 pumps of white chocolate and a bagel turkey sandwich. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of parking in free lot!
