The Jammin' Banana Bakery & Cafe
3416 Rice St, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“The Jammin' Banana Bakery & Cafe is a beloved island breakfast destination where the real stars are the creative bagel sandwiches—particularly the cheddar jalapeño—paired with locally-inspired drinks like macadamia nut lattes and reliably smooth cold brew. Their malasadas and banana pudding have earned devoted fans, though the shop seems to shine brightest with savory breakfast items and pastries rather than more technical espresso drinks. It's the kind of fast, family-friendly spot where you'll find the line moving quickly and locals coming back for their favorite sandwich combo.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Charming coffee and bakery in Kauai just off the beach located in the Anchor Cove shopping center. Very pleasant staff with a view of the ocean and beach from the cafe. The coffee is very strong but very good; no refills as is expected with a well stocked condiment counter. …
Cute bakery with limited but tasty offerings to start the day. We liked it enough to go back a second time a few days later. The bagels are tasty and fresh, and definitely different from anything I’ve had before (they’re more bread-like than the dense chew I’m used to) and the…
This was our first and last bite while in Kauai, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the bagel twice because it was so delicious, along with the Samoa cold brew, a plain coffee, fresh banana bread, and a malasada. Everything was fresh and flavorful — the perfect way to start…
Very disappointing food, especially the scrambled eggs and added bacon which looked pathetic and tasted very mediocre. Definitely not worth the USD $10 we paid with the presentation of it in a tiny disposable burger box at that. The açai was alright but nothing fantastic.…
Worst matcha I have had. Tasted bitter and oxidized and was clumpy in the milk. Açaí bowl had zero fresh fruit and was at least half filled with extremely sugary granola. I threw both away. Front of house worker did not call my name when the açaí bowl was ready and I sat there…
This was our favorite breakfast spot on the island. Highly recommend the cheddar jalapeño bagel and macadamia nut latte. The banana pudding was also incredible though very sweet. The service is fast and friendly. Mahalo 🌺
