Crema's Take
“Simply Local is a vibrant community gathering spot in Kahului that beautifully blends exceptional specialty coffee and food with a curated marketplace celebrating local Maui artisans and makers. Their acai bowls are legendary enough to bring people back twice in one day, and the genuine warmth of the owner creates the kind of feel-good atmosphere that has visitors returning multiple times during their stay. It's the kind of place where you can grab a perfectly crafted coffee drink, support island creators, and sink into genuine human connection all at once.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Stopped in while waiting for my order at one of the food trucks outside. They have a bunch of nice goods like shirts, tote bags, and tea towels, but I was drawn in by the big signs for Molokai hot bread. The loaves are from the Kanemitsu Bakery on Molokai. I picked up the ube…
My boyfriend and I’s flight got delayed and we had to spend the night in Maui. We were super stressed, but the moment we stepped into Simply Local, our whole entire trip changed for the better. The owner and her husband greeted us with smiles and recommendations to the prettiest…
