Aloha Craft Cafe
2970 Kele St, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked unexpectedly inside an office building reception room, this family-owned spot punches well above its unassuming location with genuinely excellent coffee and breakfast sandwiches that locals rave about—the kind of place where the staff remembers your name and surprising generosity (free desserts!) feels genuine rather than performative. The hospitality here is the real specialty: warm, unhurried, and authentically welcoming in a way that makes you feel like you've discovered a well-kept local secret rather than walked into a cafe.”

Strong coffee, delicious banana pudding, sandwiches wonderful. The family owned cafe currently is in the reception room of an office building, don’t be alarmed you’ll be greeted by the most hospitable people and loving atmosphere.The little hole in the wall cafe is a must. Talk story was the highlight, got to learn about the local highlights, history and a detailed step by step process of the traditional salt pans harvesting. Best family, HAWAIIAN OWNED establishments. Five stars!
My name is now Fredrick, courtesy of Jaysie. Besides that the whole atmosphere and service was immaculate, the surrounding was very welcoming 10/10 and Megan… she did good, “if you don’t know what you want, don’t worry! Megan she got you”-JJ and Megan definitely delivers. So if you’re in need of a good breakfast, stop on by Aloha Craft Cafe a fresh new identity from Jaysie, and Megan.. she got you!
Sandwiches were okay. I think they needed a bit of flavor - it was slightly lacking. We got the burrito and the breakfast sandwich: Coffee was great!
Great local cafe with really good breakfast options. Worth seeking out. Best breakfast egg sandwich I've had in a long time and the lox and bagel sandwich is loaded. Coffee is good too. If you come on Fridays, you may get serenaded.
Great breakfast sandwiches and coffee for a reasonable price. The staff was super friendly and we even got a little dessert for each of us for free. The Cafe is located at an odd location behind a post office off a parking lot but that shouldn't deter you from going there.
