Chill atmosphere with no wifi (deliberately). Got a mocha with light chocolate flavor and a nitro cold brew which was not as robust as I would have liked. Plenty of parking on the shopping center side.

Akamai Coffee: A Maui Must-Visit
Located in the Kehei area, Akamai Coffee is an absolute gem for coffee lovers. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making every visit a delightful experience. The coffee itself is exceptional, with a fantastic array of unique and flavorful specialty drinks.
I was particularly blown away by the Road to Hana (R2H), a hot masterpiece expertly crafted by my barista, Casey. Her infectious island smile and deep coffee knowledge elevated the entire experience.
The coffee shop boasts a fun and relaxed atmosphere with quirky swinging chairs and both indoors and outdoors sesting options. Parking is available in the back, and they even have a convenient drive-thru. While tucked away in an office building, Akamai Coffee is definitely worth seeking out.
I can’t wait to return for another cup of perfection. Highly recommended!

Very inconsistent service and quality. Maybe I had beginner's luck because the first time I came here, I got a wonderful cappuccino for breakfast. And the person who took my order was great.
The second time, the person who took my order seemed annoyed by something going on behind her. She was distracted and curt to me and others waiting to order. I went with an iced coffee with macadamia nut syrup. The syrup was vile. It had a noticeable chemical taste.
The third time was the last time. The person taking my order was ok, kind of robotic. Fine, I'm not there to socialize. I ordered a medium cappuccino. What I got was a big cup of scalding hot oat milk with hardly any coffee in it. Awful. I had to throw it out after a few sips. I also ordered a poppy seed muffin that tasted super bland and had a rubbery texture.
Also, their default tipping percentage starts high, 18 or 20%. And no WI-Fi. Overall, a hard PASS.

Nice store decoration, in the morning, there is usually a wait line. Just want to try a cup of coffee. Coffee is as good as compared to other stores. The place is on the first floor of a multi story building with available parking for customers. There is some outdoor tables for customers to enjoy the all year around warm weather while sipping coffee.

Got two of their feature coffees, Road to Hana and the Hawaiian Honeybee. Preferred the R2H which had a subtle toffee nut over the honeybee coffee, which was too sweet and too much coconut. No wifi which is weird for a coffee shop. Service was okay, baristas were always busy but weren't overly friendly
