Java Kai /// Kōloa

Mac iced Latte and Maui Mocha for the win. What a neat spot to enjoy some coffee outside in the perfect paradise morning weather. Roosters crowing reminds us it is still morning. Taste of Aloha. So many other items to choose from. We will be a repeat visitor while here.

Great little coffee shop serving breakfast and lunch. My wife has a gluten allergy, and they were fantastic about accommodating her. We had the turkey club on gluten-free bread, easily a 10/10. The purple potato salad was delicious, and the lemon lilikoi poppy seed muffin was the perfect treat. Highly recommend!

Java Kai is a great stop for coffee and smoothies especially if you’re vegan. They have solid vegan options for drinks and everything we tried on that front was really good. That said I do wish they had more vegan bakery and pastry options. On some days there were no vegan pastries available at all which was a little disappointing and made it feel hit or miss for us. But the açaí bowl. Wow. Hands down the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had no exaggeration. Perfect texture amazing flavor and incredibly fresh. It’s honestly worth making the trip just for that alone. If you’re vegan go for the coffee smoothies and absolutely do not skip the açaí bowl. Just don’t count on pastries being there every day and if they ever expand those options this place would be next level. 🥥☕🍓

This is an outdoor seating establishment. Clean, good atmosphere, prices were average for being Hawaii (tourist stop), the food presented and tasted very good. The French toast with pineapple was fresh, the burrito was very full, the salsa was decent, not really hot but provided enough additional flavor to compliment the burrito, the coffee was Awesome ($7+ for Lrg was a bit high but it is Hawaii, this was also dark roast, not bitter or acidic). I would recommend this restaurant.

Allow this to serve as my official love letter to Java Kai: I love this place! Great coffee, great drinks, great food. My husband loves the breakfast burrito and I am always one to grab a bagel sandwich. So yummy! I typically get the surfer girl sandwich and tried the tropical haze smoothie. Good amount of seating, pastries, beans to go, and little gifts. We went twice on our week-long trip!
