I’ve been going to this shop for a couple of years, and I really like the coffee. The drip is smooth, not harsh. The flavored coffee drinks are very good, and if you need/want less syrup they are happy to do that. I’ve never had a bad cup here. I’d love for them to have more variety in the food selection. SOmetimes a bagel isn’t enough. The coffee is good and the owners/manager are friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.

**SHOPCLOSED** Here is my previous review: This is candy in a cup. Yummy! It looks like the bad reviews for this place are really just regrets for the closing of the previous coffee shop. That’s too bad because Maui Wowi is darn tasty! No, it is not a traditional coffee shop. They specialize in flavored drinks and they use a LOT of flavor! If you’re looking for standard coffee drinks, this is not for you. My personal favorite is the line of hot chocolates: the Koko-Nut is delicious. The smoothies are pretty tasty too, and they do blended coffee so you’re set for both cold mornings and hot afternoons.

EXTRABAD. How hard is it to tamp your espresso? Does your staff have ANY training in coffee? Seriously, a twenty minute tutorial on what they are doing for a living would bump this up to a two or three. Good luck, Maui whatever coffee… R.I.P. Café Appassionato…

I was walking past what used to be Caffe Appassionato on Monday morning, and noticed a ‘Grand Opening’ sign next to the window. Apparently it had shut down over the weekend, to be replaced by this place. Maui Wowi is a Hawaiian-themed coffee shop chain. What makes Hawaiian-themed coffee different from coffee-themed coffee? Not much, as it turns out. Their website mentions some special Kona blend they use, but the drip coffee I tried could have come from Tully’s, as far as my taste buds could tell. Not objectionable, but there are better options in the area. They seem to specialize in smoothies and specialty drinks. They also have some breakfastey foods — bagels and such. The menu is available on their website; there are more options than you’d find at a typical coffee shop.
