Garden Island Coffee

4-1604 Kuhio Hwy, Lihue, HI

★★★★★4.9(128 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This Lihue gem wins hearts with genuinely creative specialty drinks that go beyond the usual—think ube coffee that tastes like heaven, strawberry matcha that keeps people coming back, and innovative creations like their Real Housewives coffee beverage. The team clearly cares about every order, from warning customers about sweetness levels to offering gluten-free syrups and friendly recommendations around the island, making each visit feel personal rather than transactional. Whether you're grabbing a spicy turkey sandwich with jalapeño cream cheese before sunrise or settling into their outdoor seating with a perfectly pulled espresso, you're getting both excellent coffee craft and the kind of aloha spirit that makes the best coffee shops feel like community gathering spots.

What a great experience. Coffee was amazing! Probably the best we have had on Kauai. They had a white chocolate syrup that was gluten free too!! The gentleman making our coffee was so friendly. My favorite part is when I asked for straws for my kids Hot Chocolates he automatically cut the straws to fit. It’s the little things that make a place memorable.

The ube coffee is like heaven in a cup. A little sweet, but the gal warned us of that before we ordered. Customer service was excellent. She gave us many recommendations of where to eat and things to do on the island. Would go here every day for coffee if I lived here.

Amazing place. Going to try to imitate the spicy turkey sandwich- jalapeño cream cheese, pepperoncini, sliced turkey on an everything bagel- at home. Real Housewives coffee bevy was so innovative too

Enjoyed this coffee spot at the Kapa’a food truck park!! They were open early and had some fresh coffee to go with a beautiful sunrise. I had an Americano black and my wife had her americano with peppermint syrup and oat milk. We also got my granddaughter a fresh fruit smoothie, yum!! Lovely local owner was very friendly and got us what we needed. Visit GARDEN ISLAND COFFEE next time you need a morning wake up or an afternoon refresher!
