Positive Coffee

Why Kai Loves It

# Positive Coffee This converted bus on Kuhio Highway is straight-up legendary for spreading good vibes with killer specialty coffee. Owners Meredith and Rob run this drive-thru spot with a mission to make your day better, and honestly? It works. The coffee game here is legit. Their 48-hour cold brew is smooth as hell, and the Local Mocha made with Hawaiian cacao and Hawaiian honey is absolutely worth trying. If you're feeling adventurous, grab the 3C – cold brew coffee mixed with Hawaiian cacao and coconut milk. For food, the breakfast wraps and empanadas are solid, plus they've got these ube and local banana muffins that people rave about. Everything's organic and they've got plenty of vegan options too. Here's what makes this spot different: the menu is super simple to navigate. Just follow the prompts on the bus windows – pick your beverage, choose your milk, add sweetener if you want. No overwhelming coffee shop anxiety here 🤙 The vibe is pure Kauai – friendly, efficient, and genuinely positive. You'll be in and out quick, but somehow still leave feeling lighter. **Perfect for:** Early birds heading to the North Shore, anyone who wants quality coffee without the wait, breakfast on-the-go **Insider tip:** Try the "Tuxedo" add-on to any drink – it's local pure chocolate and vanilla that takes everything up a notch. **My take:** Best latte I've found on the island, and the service actually lives up to the name. This food truck gets it right.
