Kraken Coffee Kihei

Read the reviews and chose it to be my first third wave coffee in Hawai. Definitely didn’t live up to my expectations as it was just a pretty standard latte not something that will inspire me to revisit. Service was fine as it was the first time I’ve had latte arrive 3 minutes after ordering.

There was a large pallet right in the way of where you pay/pickup which was annoying. Got the cream cheese pretzel-delicious And a shaved ice with ice cream - amount of ice cream was negligible, and I had to ask for more flavoring as only a little bit of the top had syrup.

I ordered a mocha wao with 20% sugar, but this definitely didn’t taste like 20% sweetness. All I could taste was sugar and ice—there was basically no coffee or flavor. The staff also wasn’t very patient. Honestly, not worth the hype.

We loved this coffee truck. Delicious coffee! I got the coconut mocha. Generous servings and kind service! Will definitely be back!

Kraken Coffee is such a gem on Maui! I tried the MoCHAWAO and a matcha with caramel, and both were absolutely delicious. As a coffee drinker, I was blown away by the quality of their espresso beans—they’re smooth, rich, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the difference in every sip. The drinks are creative and well-balanced without being overly sweet, and the vibe of the place just makes it even better. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in Maui and love good coffee.
