"Super friendly owner and team, best matcha ever (& I have NEVER been a tea person!). Hubby has NEVER been a coffee person - got coffee 2x on this trip and drank it ALL! Must visit in Maui! Locally owned! We got their t-shirts and stickers! Instant fans! 🫶🏻"

"Wonderful place to come get your AM cup of joe or matcha. One the way to the airport? Great place to stop by, come early though cause there is usually a line to buy a cup of pick me up. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. If you are local and become a regular, they'll learn your name greet you with your favorite order by memory. Can't recommend this place more. If you come here you won't regret it. Oh, & tell 'em Blu sent you..."

"First off, I got to say, you can tell when someone loves doing what they do, and the two brothers definitely do. Serving with a smile and having a little chit chat with others. Acknowledging people are waiting and thanking them for doing so. It's simple, but so important (as least to me). Hands down, best coffee on the island thus far. I don't like sweetened drinks, and am more of a "purist" (espresso and milk only). Saying that, their Lilikoi Matcha drink was also really good and I'd get it again. I should've went for the 8 oz cap, but accidentally ordered the 12oz. The milk texture is good, and the shot was pulled evenly. They use a Decent espresso mahcine. First time seeing it used in the "states", and first time was in Osaka, Japan. Pumpkin cinnamon roll. Just get it. Fire. Will be back!"

"A must stop if you are in Kahului! They have the best lattes and matcha drinks on the island, but even better is their service. The guys clearly love what they are doing and are so friendly, chatting with and thanking all the customers waiting in line. Don't miss this opportunity for some great coffee. A hui hou from your Detroit friends!"

"We've been wanting to stop by here foreverrrrrrr because we've only heard good things about this place but it is always so crowded! But today we finally had a chance to stop and smell the roses (or matcha if you will!!) and got a coffee and some delicious matcha drinks to start off my husbands birthday weekend. I knew it was gonna be a good place (since there is always always a line) but the service here is seriously on another level. Beyond EXCELLENT. You will not find kinder or sweeter baristas/matcha-istas than the 2 young men running this truck. And the drinks.....SOOOO good. I am a strawberry matcha lover so I had to get that and it did not disappoint. We also tried the lilikoi matcha and the upcountry (lavender and honey) latte and those were also delicious!! They also sell banana bread and chocolate chip banana bread which is also so yummy and a great compliment to whatever drink you choose to get. Cannot recommend this place enough!!!! And even if it's crowded, it is 1000000000% worth the wait. I know I'll be stopping by again regardless of the crowd of other first wave lovers! And here's a little Pro tip: if your husband wants you to go to Lowe's with him, just go because you can get a super delicious drink from first wave as your reward (wink wink). Definitely stop here and support our locals!!!!"

"Line was sooo long, we couldn't wait. However the menu looks great and all the Yelp reviews are so positive. We will have to hit it at another time...."
