Aloha Coffee Truck

Sadly discovered this late into our trip, but glad to be leaving for the airport with a delightful iced coconut latte in hand… Doesn’t get better or easier than finding the best espresso and Thai food in one place… gonna dream about this back at home!

The woman who runs this truck is really nice (and gave us a great tip to try the Thai food truck across the aisle, which was awesome), but I was unimpressed by the signature iced mocha… it was $ 6 for a 16oz size, which was mostly ice, and tasted like it was made with regular brewed coffee instead of espresso. It was also overwhelmingly sweet and, curiously, looked and tasted like it was made mostly (or only?) with water instead of milk. I love trying out local coffee places, but in this case, I wish I’d saved my money and hit up a Starbucks (or gone back to Small Town) instead.

Absolutely amazing little truck full of goodies. If you don’t get the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie you’re missing out!

I am very picky about my coffee and am known to complain perhaps a little too much about most coffee I buy but can only say good things about every drink/​cookie/​cake I’ve ever gotten here. I’m pretty much hooked and visit almost every day now… It’s consistently delicious and everything is always served with smiles and aloha. The Kaua’i Honey Latte is my personal favorite… but only because It’s pretty much perfect.

Such a friendly stop!
In serious need of an iced coffee and she delivered!
I like alternative milks, no almond due to the drought business but she turned me on to oat milk, was really good in the coffee.
Also was tempted into the peanut butter chip cookie!
Gluten free, vegetarian and delicious ! I recommend!

Being my 1^st visit to Kauai & the only one in our family who has gluten allergies (Celiac disease), it’s challenging to say the least, to eat out & not get sick. So when we stopped at the Aloha Coffee Truck for an iced mocha, & I saw GLUTEN FREE cookies, I of course had to have one. Not only are the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies gluten free, but honest to God, THE BEST cookie I’ve ever had!!! I live in California & Cali is conscious of GF foods, but nothing that I’ve found at home tastes like this! Tara (the coffee truck owner & sweetheart), makes them by scratch every morning! I can’t wait to take my dozen home with me on Thursday! (Yes, you can order some to take home with you when you leave the island). The iced mocha is also to die for! The chocolate syrup is homemade & delicious too! So for anyone visiting Kauai, rest assured, the islanders are very conscious of what goes in their bodies (and in their food) & there are a lot of GF options, at many restaurants & stores). The best dessert/​GF option being the Aloha Coffee Truck cookies!

If you are a serious coffee lover, you must come here! I got the honey latte and it was fantastic! My husband got the iced mocha and it’s the best one either of us have ever had! She makes her own chocolate syrup and it really makes the drink. Very friendly owner as well :)

Best Iced Mocha and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie I’ve ever had. We originally pulled in here to try the Green Pig food truck right next door, and thought to get a drink from here. Best decision of the day. I don’t know what else to say other than you must stop by here. After lunch we also got a coconut to drink, and after having tried several different ones later in the week, I will have to say this was also the best coconut I’ve ever had. They also rent boogie boards here which we took advantage of as there is a very nice beach across the street.
I ended up coming back here two days later for another Iced Mocha before a golf outing, and also tried to come back the day before I left to order a batch of cookies to take home, but alas they were closed that last day as the owner, Tara, was sick (so sad!).
If I’m ever back I’m definitely going to stop by here again, and pre-​order some cookies to go for the flight home.

A must visit when on Kauai. I have visited every house on the island. This one is my favorite. I am a self-​proclaimed a coffee snob. Extremely particular about my espresso. Aloha coffee met my expectations. Fun spot full of aloha.

Wonderful drip coffee and espresso, friendly service, AMAZING peanut butter chocolate chip cookies… naturally gluten free! I wanted to eat ten of them. We got one fresh out of the oven. We were very glad we stopped here before hitting the river for the day. Thank you Aloha coffee truck! Mahalo!

Wholly ICED MOCHA. I don’t know how she makes it besides a sprinkle of magic or voodoo but I don’t care. Her homemade chocolate sauce is spectacular! Not too sweet. Not gritty like the iced mocha at some overly priced coffee chain. Perfect for a hot day. AND don’t pass on the gluten free peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie. Don’t be afraid of the gluten free part. The cookie is hands down amazing. Located just north of Kapa’a on the west side of the highway. You won’t regret it!

Drove all the way from Waimea to stop by Kealia and check out the Sunday farmers market, which apparently is no longer. No problem, as the Aloha Coffee Truck was there along with another food truck. we had lunch at the Green frog truck then I popped over to the Aloha Coffee Truck and got what is honestly the BEST COOKIE I HAVE EVER ATE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I devoured in (it was huge) within a few minutes in the car. Unfortunately I live on the mainland and have no way to get these yummy cookies. Next year we are in Kauai I will hunt her down and buy many many cookies from this gal!!!

Adorable coffee truck across from the beach. Try the honey latte with local honey — tasty either hot or iced. There’s a little covered pavilion (shared with The Green Pig) where you can watch the roosters play, or just walk across the street and sit by the water.

If you want real coffee this place is it! After recently traveling aboard in Europe and drinking espresso daily on my holiday, I can say Aloha coffee truck rivals the best coffee in the world! A true Hidden Gem on the island, a must if you want a very good espresso.

I recently visited Kauai where unbeknown to me I was about to have the most outstanding Latte experience of my life !!! This place is a must have! You must try the Honey latte (made with their local honey) magical !!! Also went back later in the afternoon and had the best Iced dirty chia latte and homemade cookie. The young woman that owns/​operates the the coffee truck was so sweet and had a lot of great tips on other great local spots !

100% Amazing. The best cookies I’ve had in the last ten years-​easily. And the lattes, coffee is authentic & delicious, plus the lovely owner makes her own creamers & everything is fresh and truly remarkable. I’ll be back tomorrow… this is a must see.

First time trying the honey (local kauai honey!) latte and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies (gluten free). Both the honey latte and cookies are great on their own but the pairing is amazing!
I know most people are full from the green pig truck’s food (truck to the left) but leave some room to try the latte and cookies! You will not regret it!
Loved the cookies so much that I requested a mainland gift box to smuggle back and share with my family, friends, and co-​workers :)
Tara and her wonderful daughter Soleil made everything with much aloha!
The 50 cookies did not last a day!
I would’ve smuggled a 5 gallon jug of the honey latte but airport security would not allow … :)
Mahalo!

The best iced mocha I’ve ever had. The fabulous woman who own this adorable coffee trucks makes her own chocolate syrup and let me tell you it’s magical. Usually I find there is a weird gritty taste when having an iced mocha but aloha’s coffee combined with the syrup is so smooth and creamy. The blend of coffee to syrup is absolutely perfect where you can appreciate the coffee flavor with the chocolate not overly sweet.
