CLHEI CAFÉ
26 Baldwin Ave, Paia, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked behind a clothing shop in Paia, this hidden gem serves some of Maui's most consistently excellent espresso drinks, with baristas who nail every latte with impressive precision. The entirely outdoor seating area has an intimate, almost secret-garden feel that rewards those who seek it out, paired with excellent housemade pastries like banana bread and carrot cake that pair perfectly with your cup. It's the kind of place that keeps people coming back multiple times during a single visit—locals and travelers alike find themselves dreaming about returning.”

A hidden gem in Paia. This cafe is located behind a clothing shop that you have to go through in order to get to. The cafe is all outdoors with a good amount of seating. The coffee here was the best we had while on Maui. Definitely recommend stopping here for some great coffee and good vibes. They also had some baked goods and lots of popsicles if you need a snack.
Lovely quaint coffee shop with delicious banana bread, carrot cake, and coffee! Great service and peaceful atmosphere.
Cute little café in Paia. It’s a bit hidden since you have to walk through a clothing store to find it, but that makes it feel kind of special. Small spot with just a few tables and a nice mix of specialty coffees and bites, including vegan and organic options. I went today and tried the Honey Latte with cinnamon, really good and worth it. Also got the Coco Cold Brew, nice coconut flavor but a bit light and watery if you like your coffee strong. Prices are about the same as other cafés around here. Overall, it’s a cute and chill place to grab a coffee while exploring Paia. Not amazing, but still worth checking out.
Hands down best coffee on Maui. We went 4 separate times in 3 days and had three different baristas… each latte was consistent and absolutely delicious. I will wake up dreaming of this coffee.
What an amazing coffee experience! As a coffee shop owner myself, I was so impressed by the aesthetic, quality and overall experience. The barista Marina was super friendly and made our drinks to perfection! To me, a shop that has a great Cortado and matcha is top tier. The menu is diverse and still has a lot of the traditional drink selection you'd normally see at a craft coffee shop. The patio in the back is honestly the best aesthetic and vibe I've seen on the island and the drinks are reasonably priced especially for how well executed they are. Can't wait to come back!
