Akamai Coffee @ Wailea Village
116 Wailea Ike Dr, Kahului, HI
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Wailea Village, this espresso-focused spot has earned a devoted following for their genuinely excellent drip coffee and decaf that actually tastes smooth rather than bitter—a rarity worth celebrating. The sprawling lanai creates a peaceful retreat where you can linger over breakfast classics like lox and cream cheese toast, banana bread, and avocado toast with egg, all while soaking in that Maui morning energy, though arrive early since the line moves steadily for good reason.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Croissants were dry and flavorless, coffee was okay. Didn't eat anything else. Would give them a second try and update accordingly.
Came here because it was one of the only cafés open that early in the morning, but I’m honestly confused by the consistent lines and positive reviews. The food was mediocre at best. The “sourdough” was extremely thin, dry and lacked flavor. Some pieces even looked like the ends…
Great coffee shop with lots of options. One of the only places I have found where you can get a pour over coffee on Maui. Service is always stellar!
Whenever we visit the island we get coffee and breakfast here. Always friendly service and great food. Lots of seating outdoors. The line can get quite long as they are always busy. The quality of food is higher than most other breakfast/lunch spots.
Ordered a coffee frappe and a decaf iced americano. Decaf tends to be sub-par but not here. Smooth, delicious coffee without a hint of bitterness. Peaceful, large lanai to enjoy your beverages. Excellent service.
Always a nice view and good spot for morning coffee and a quick bite. The lox and cream is super good, love their chai, and you must try the banana bread. Only complaint would be the ridiculously high pricing. Other than that, I definitely recommend this for your caffeine needs.
