This is exactly the kind of coffee shop I hoped to find while visiting the island. You'll absolutely love the vibe, the crew, and of course the coffee.
The owner will walk you through the coffee they have roasted and give you the back story on anything you're interested in, making every sip that much more enjoyable.
I stepped away from my traditional black Americano to try one of their local favorites and got a banana mocha. It was delicious and hit the spot.
Their inside has games, books, and even guitars in front of a giant world map you can see where people have visited from all over the world. I couldn't resist adding a pin to make sure that Tacoma has a showing.
I chilled inside while I worked on some deliverables for my next employee engagement workshop that I'll be delivering when I get home. But once the work was done I was excited to move out to the deck where I watched the waves at the beach across the street.
Give this local small business lots of attention while you are here. I'll be sure it's a regular part of all of my visits.

Their banana mocha was soo good, I made it my daily coffee spot during my stay in Maui. In addition to the wonderful coffee, the service was extraordinary. Every barista I encountered was attentive, friendly and went above and beyond to provide a caring experience. I miss it already and can’t wait to be back! :)

My husband and I have been to Maui a couple times now and have gotten many beverages from Lava Java. We especially like the Ube coffee and the frozen mocha. The staff has always been kind and it’s a cute little shop with different areas to sit. I’d recommend it if you are in Maui!

Cozy coffee shop that roasts its own coffee and serves its own brand. Many great coffee and food items. Also has POG slushies!
Staff is friendly and hospitable and takes time to get to know you and offer recommendations.

Love the coffee and the vibe of this place. The lines are long but the coffee is worth the wait. They have baked and refrigerated food as well as a myriad of merch.
