My husband and I started and ended our week-long honeymoon trip with stops at Java Jazz. We stumbled across it walking across the street from our resort and decided to stop in to check it out. And we were so glad we did. The time we spent hanging out,enjoying the great food, drinks, and atmosphere were definitely some of the highlights of our Maui-stay! The live music wasfantastic, too. The cherry on top was definitely our bartender: Corey. She is such a sweetheart and made us feel incrediblywelcome and like old friends. We chatted about working in the entertainment industry and her adventures. She even remembered myhusband and I when we came back at the end of the week and was so excited to see us. I'm 19 weeks pregnant, and Corey said thatshe can't wait to see us again when the baby is born! Thank you for being a truly amazing human, Corey! ??
This was the best place we have eaten during our trip to Hawaii. We came back a few times. The coffee kept flowing. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. Jazz music playing. The staff were very nice. We were recommended to come here and wewere not disappointed.
Unfortunately we only got to have cocktails but we heard the table next to ours raving about their food so I have no doubts it's delicious. I had a guava martini and it was amazing, and our server Cory, was so lovely and friendly! The atmosphere is awesomeand seeing all the pictures and notes from past guests on the furniture and walls etc was really fun to see!
What a funky find! We had just flown in from the mainland and were starving. Walked to this little hole in the wall place and had some tasty food. It is very eclectic and the energy is good. At night they have a band that plays music. We also went therefor breakfast and enjoyed every bite!
Good food with a large number of options, primarily tex-mex with plenty of standard American options as well, decent portions and reasonable prices $10-$20). The ambience is like that of an artist's haven and is not kid friendly. They have cleanrestrooms and an old school vibe too. Our favorite dishes were the huevos rancheros a bit oily though), fantapano, blackenedfish sandwich.

Food was excellent in a very quaint setting. Worth a visit.
Lots of character. An interesting place. I find myself looking at the art, signs, stickers and wondering about the owner. Talked to the owner And wish I would have started the evening talking to him. So interesting, such character. Truly unforgettable experience. I did not get food, as we had only dropped in for evening drinks, but the live music played some of my favorite songs, the ambiance was comfortable and easy. I will come back The next time I’m on Maui.
An amazing experience my family had for breakfast. Our waitress and the whole staff was friendly and fun. The food and coffee was also amazing. We will visit again if we are ever back in town!
The decor and music are the best things.
The owners were very friendly, especially the older gentleman. The early bird breakfast was delicious and buttery and the cheapest meal we had in Hawaii. The art on the walls was very interesting too. ?

Love love love this place!! Best live music on the island! The staff is phenomenal and they will make sure you’re walking out of there with a smile!
Genuinely would never come back to this place. Not only did they get our food order wrong but somehow we were invisible behind all the regulars. Me and my wife also had a disturbing conversation with the owner and left very displeased.
The place was really unique interesting inside. Unfortunately, it ended there. The breakfast was all cold when they finally served it. They seemed extremely understaffed and overwhelmed. When they finally came to check on us, we told them the food was not edible as it was cold. They apologized and took the food off of the bill and we left more hungry than we were when we walked in. Would never go back to this place.
I had a wonderful breakfast experience at Java Jazz in West Maui. The food was excellent, and the service was friendly. A special thanks to our server, Sidney, for accommodating our dietary restrictions by substituting the chorizo with lox. I really enjoyed both the burrito and the Hawaiian omelette. I would definitely love to return!
The atmosphere in this restaurant is fantastic, with plenty of interesting decorations on the walls to catch your eye. The owner is quite political, and you'll find various displays reflecting that around the space. As for the food, it's a bit of a mixed bag—some dishes are great, while others are just average. During our last visit, we noticed some ants on the wall, but if you're familiar with Maui, you know that can happen.
