The best coffee shop in Kauai. My latte was so good I got a seasonal chai to go right after finishing it. It was a smart move. I'll go here anytime I'm in the area!

We drove up from the south side of the island just for their blueberry matcha and it did not disappoint. The vibes were cool and the drink was so tasty. We are still thinking about it back home & haven't found anyone to replicate. Easy to park and area to sit down and enjoy.

Absolutely incredible. After a string of very average (and some not-so-great) coffee stops around the island, my wife and I finally found The Haven and it blew us away. This isn’t just the best coffee in Hanalei, or even on the North Shore. It’s some of the best coffee we’ve ever had, period. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced… every cup was spot on. The staff couldn’t be nicer. They were genuinely warm, welcoming, and they gave excellent recommendations. You can tell they care about coffee. We also tried a scone and it was fantastic. If you’re a coffee lover, this place is absolutely worth the drive. Don’t miss it. Very, very good.

I had cappuccino, and after I completed my Kalalau trail I had matcha and croissants with feta and spinach to celebrate. Delicious, warm welcoming atmosphere. Nice design, comfortable chairs out and patio outside.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jesse Mendel · Oct 2025

The best coffee shop on Kauai. Make sure to ask about the secret menu. I got a Churro Aerocano that was outstanding. My wife also loved the chai latte that she got. The ambiance is amazing, the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And, most importantly, the coffee itself was spectacular. Also - be sure to look out for Lava Girl, the nice kitty hanging around the shop
