Maui’s coffee scene is as rich and diverse as its natural beauty. Whether you’re looking for a quick caffeine fix or a place to relax and soak in the island vibe, these 10 coffee shops have become my favorites over time. Here’s my list of the top 10 coffee spots in Maui, listed in no particular order.
1. Hawaiian Village Coffee Shop
Conveniently located in Kahana across from the Bank of Hawaii and McDonald’s, Hawaiian Village Coffee Shop is a cozy and welcoming spot for a quick pick-me-up. Whether you’re passing through on your way to the beach or looking for a leisurely break, their consistently great coffee and friendly service never disappoint.
2. Bad Ass Coffee
Though the beloved Lahaina Harbor location was lost in the fire, Bad Ass Coffee still serves up its bold, flavorful brews at its Honokowai shop, located right across the street from the Honokowai Beach Park. It’s the perfect place to grab a cup and enjoy the laid-back west side atmosphere.
3. Wailuku Coffee Company
With locations in both downtown Wailuku and Haiku, Wailuku Coffee Company is a consistent favorite. The Wailuku shop is now easier to visit with the new public parking lot, and the Haiku location next to the post office brings the same quality coffee and friendly vibe. Whether you’re in town or upcountry, this spot is always a great choice.
4. Akamai Coffee Company
Akamai Coffee’s three locations across the island make it incredibly convenient.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup at the drive-thru in the Home Depot parking lot or relaxing at their South Kihei or Wailea locations, Akamai delivers quality coffee every time.
Each location has its own vibe, but all share the same dedication to great brews.
5. Maui Coffee Roasters
Located on 444 Hana Highway, Maui Coffee Roasters has earned its place as a go-to coffee spot. Despite how busy it can get, the excellent coffee is worth the wait.
It’s an ideal stop whether you’re passing through town or looking to sit down and savor your brew.
6. Paia Bay Coffee and Bar
Set in a lush, open-air courtyard in Paia, Paia Bay Coffee and Bar offers a truly laid-back and tropical experience. It’s a hidden gem where you can unwind after a day of beach hopping or shopping, all while enjoying a strong cup of coffee in an inviting atmosphere.
7. Sip Me
With locations in Makawao, Paia, and Kahului, Sip Me is known for its sustainability efforts and high-quality artisanal coffee. Each of the three locations offers something unique, but the friendly service and consistently good coffee are the same across the board. It’s a top pick for locals and visitors alike.
8. Momona
Momona, located in Kahului, pairs great coffee with delightful mochi and baked goods, creating a unique experience for coffee lovers with a sweet tooth.
The cozy, relaxed atmosphere and delicious menu make it a standout spot for those looking to enjoy both coffee and a tasty treat.
9. Island Vintage Coffee
Located at Whalers Village in Kaanapali, Island Vintage Coffee is a perfect blend of premium coffee and island-inspired cuisine. Their famous acai bowls and freshly brewed coffee make it a great stop for breakfast or a mid-day treat while exploring Kaanapali’s shops and beaches.
10. Java Jazz
Java Jazz, located in Honokowai, is known for its eclectic, artistic vibe and excellent coffee. This café offers live music in the evenings, creating a lively and fun atmosphere to enjoy with your favorite drink.
