Alba's Cuban Coladas

55 Kiopaa St, Wailuku, HI

★★★★★4.6(48 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This charming Wailuku spot captures authentic Cuban coffee culture with expertly crafted cortaditos and coladas that transport visitors straight to Miami, made fresh to order with genuine care by owner Christina. The homemade empanadas and incredible aroma have earned it a devoted following (with regulars noting it rivals even Porto's), and its family-friendly vibe makes it the kind of place where you'll want to linger despite the lines.

I tried both the cortadito and colada; both were excellent, although I preferred the former. A very well balanced drink.

The best coffee on Maui—very smooth and creamy! As someone from Miami, it reminds me of my grandmother’s Cuban coffee. The aroma coming from this is incredible, and the empanadas are packed with flavor. This place is as authentic as it gets!

Arriving a little after 1pm, I can understand being sold out! Normally I would celebrate this for a business! Windows were still opened and items on the counter for purchase. When I asked about a coffee I was given a very short “we are sold out” … considering there were many other food trucks I asked if there were other coffee trucks in the food court.. I was given a short answer “no”. When I turned around there was a smoothie truck that served coffee — a simple gesture to the next truck over would have been much more kind and “mahalo” … so sad to leave a negative review for what might have been a good cup of coffee.

Went to Upcountry Farmers Market and stumbled upon this gem across the street!! Great Cuban Coffee , Great Island Vibes & was made with love fresh to order. Better than Porto’s coffee in my opinion! Albas is showing Hawaii what beautiful food & drink culture Cuba has to offer. Thankyou🙏🏽
