I discovered an amazing spot for a healthy breakfast on the go! I loved the surfer girl bowl and the cinnamon roll. The service was quick, and you can even place your orders in advance using their mobile app (just a heads-up, the baked goods aren't available for pre-order). The Small Monkey smoothie was a great substitute for coffee to kick off my day. They also serve delicious coffee drinks and a variety of other ba... View all feedback.

What Cassandre Johnson dislikes about Java Kai:
I have an online order for a Macadamia Nuts Milk Cai and it was made with cow milk. it is easy to notice when they have been consecrated for several years. I put it in the counter to explain it and ask how ordered. Apparently it was made without Mac milk and the base shark powder contains cow milk powder. they say the Thai chai has no milk so they have made it so new. I didn't cost this drink, but at least it was cru... View all feedback.

They had a really good spicy chai that you could get hot or cold. They also have a lot of great breakfast options like granola and yogurt as well as a nice array of baked goods.

Good vegetarian and vegan options. we had açaí dishes (açaí sorbet, fresh fruit and very tasty house granola). the only mistake I could find was that I liked a bit more granola. I had a smoothie and my wife the shark bite coffee. both were good. great service. comfortable seating in the open, limited interior.

Java Kai is a must-visit whenever we travel to Kauai. This coffee shop is the best on the island! The breakfast sandwiches and waffles are incredibly delicious, and the coffee drinks are fantastic as well. I also tried the delicious matcha mango smoothie, which was great! Just a heads-up: if your group has more than two people, you might have to wait a bit for a table.

Food and Customer Service were excellent. They were far too busy. They handle it well for how small they are, but the wait was a bit much for take out. Acai bowls and coffee were great!

Long line but wait wasn’t bad. Food was delicious. Avocado toast and surfer girl were delicious and generous portions. Smoothie was good and filling with peanut butter. Would love to have tried a dessert/treat but didn’t make it back. Kapa’a has a really good food scene. But expect any outdoor dining to include chickens. :
