Java Kai Coffee Roasters - Kilauea

Both the coffee and food are fantastic! The soba noodles are incredibly refreshing, especially after having poke and fried chicken for several days in a row. The portions of the egg sandwich are substantial. While the sausage isn't my favorite, overall the meal is quite good.

This is a fantastic coffee bar! I wish we had tried the food, but we'll definitely do that next time. They offer lovely glasses with bamboo lids and glass straws. The friendly smiles from the staff create a welcoming atmosphere in a beautiful, bright, and cozy setting.

I never had the chance to try the food because of a frustrating customer experience that forced me to leave without eating. After my wife and I joined a long line and browsed the menu, we discovered—after several minutes of waiting at the counter—that they were out of nearly everything we wanted. In fact, they were missing about half of the menu items. I understand that running a small business can be challenging and unpredictable, but it would be much more efficient to simply post a sign indicating what’s unavailable, so people don’t waste time waiting in line. Ultimately, we had to go elsewhere, which is disappointing since the food comes highly recommended.

Ordered the chilled soba noodles and pumpkin crunch. The service was amazing. The ambiance was so chill. Also ordered the frozen hot chocolate and the tropical Haze. Both where so good.

The cashier is friendly and helpful at this location. I asked her to make the mac nut latte sweeter and with more flavor. It hit the spot!The Portuguese sausage egg sandwich was awesome! So ono! Way more space and less crowded than Kapa'a.
