"Good coffee and the prices are reasonable. We were here around 8:30 am but they were out of decaf beans when we arrived. Normally I would deduct a star for this but the person behind the counter was both friendly and apologetic and offered alternatives to try to help keep the caffeine content a bit lower which I appreciate. I have always been a coffee drinker but have had to cut back on my caffeine intake, decaf makes it so I can still enjoy my morning coffee."

"The cappuccino I had here was the best I had on Kauai. My wife and two 20-something kids all agreed the coffee was fantastic. The espresso flavor is exactly what you want it to be. They also have an excellent pastry that has some macadamia nut filling in a sort of round dense version of a croissant. It has just the right amount of not-too-flaky glaze and then it's dense and moist inside with just the right flavor. You should definitely stop by if you are driving to the north shore."

"We are experienced coffee tasters - we have our own Rocket machine and have ( we think) perfected the barista art of making cappuccinos. The temperature of the steamed milk is crucial to obtain the smooth velvety taste . We ordered 2 cappuccinos - the first one was too hot - the milk had been over heated. We asked for a replacement. I think they were a little annoyed - but the re- make was very good. So thank you for correcting the mistake."

"The cafe was a little more quiet than I’m comfortable with (we were the only ones there and felt a little weird to chat), but the matcha latte was very good! I recommend it with a little bit of honey."

"Coffee is good but a little bitter. Atmosphere is minimalist. Kind of cute but also sparse. I’m not sure if I’d want to hang around and chat. Service is friendly."
