Island Craves Kauai Inc
4-1177 Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“Island Craves is a lively spot where the real stars are the elevated malasadas and donuts—think coconut cream and mango preserve fillings that actually deliver flavor, plus creative iced versions that keep people coming back. Beyond the pastries, it's a welcoming family-friendly place that does genuine iced and hot coffee well, with enough Hawaiian comfort food options (like customizable loco mocos) to make it a satisfying all-day stop whether you're grabbing quick or settling in for a slower sit.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Malasadas that are not boring. Popular Hawaiian flavors filled inside if you like. We had coconut cream filled and mango preserves filled. So good. Also they got Donuts with pizzazz. The chocolate iced donut with toasted coconut sprinkles melted in the mouth. Will…
Donuts and Malasadas are top notch, other items depend! We had to do a malasada stop while on the island and decided to try Island Craves. We tried two different iced donuts and a malasada and all were as good as it gets. Outside of the donuts, we got some breakfast burritos…

Super cute table service place with an array of different hot foods and also donuts and ice cream ! Amazing iced and hot coffees too. I love loco mocos but didn’t want to have the whole thing and the guy even halved the portion for me and charged me less. A perfect stop in !
