Collab Cafe - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Andrew

We were happy to find Collab Cafe after our original brunch plans were unexpectedly closed. The interior is very cute and they were roasting coffee right there, which was fun to watch. We ordered some toasts and coffee, then sat outside. Outside seating is clean but the tables are a bit wobbly so I was worried my coffee would fall over! Luckily it did not. The toasts were both very delicious. The macadamia pesto toast was a revelation, way above expectations. The mushroom toast also impressed us. Drinks were fine but nothing special.

We visited on a Sunday, about an hour and a half before closing, and the coffee shop was bustling. Seating is limited, with a few tables both inside and outside. They offer a special weekend brunch menu in addition to their regular menu. We loved the coffee, but the strawberry coconut ice cream was a letdown; the vanilla coconut ice cream was much better. All their ice creams are coconut-based, which is great if you're a fan. However, service was a bit slow—our coffee took 20 minutes, and the food arrived after 30 minutes, which is why I’m deducting a star. The food was tasty and above average for Hawaiian standards. For a scoop of ice cream, two coffees, and three sandwiches, the bill was around $80. Not cheap, but fairly reasonable for Hawaii. Lots of free parking.

The MOST delicious gluten-free bread! Mamaki chai was also wonderful and well spiced. My husband ordered a medium-poached egg and it came out perfect. The taro & sweet potato hash was a little dry. Friendly service, lots of parking. Limited seating indoors and covered outdoors. Note the surcharge listed at the bottom of the menu.

The best meal we had on Kauai! Farm fresh food, unusual flavor combinations, not typical restaurant food. Amazing coffee! Healthy, but delicious food! Staff kind and helpful.

Fantastisches Café-Erlebnis auf Kauai!

Das Collab-Café ist ein echter Geheimtipp für Kaffee- und Frühstücksliebhaber. Der Kaffee dort ist einfach fantastisch, für uns der beste auf der ganzen Insel. Das Avocado-Brot ist unschlagbar, das beste, das wir je auf Kauai probiert haben. Wir waren auch in Hanalei, um verschiedene Kaffees und Avocado-Brote auszuprobieren, aber keines konnte mit dem Angebot im Collab-Café mithalten.

Der Service ist super, das Personal ist jung und freundlich und die Atmosphäre im Café ist cool und einladend. Es ist der perfekte Ort, um den Tag zu beginnen oder eine entspannte Pause einzulegen. Wir können dieses Café wärmstens empfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch!

Their gentlemen working there (Matthias) was very friendly and was talking to us the whole time about his story and giving suggestions for us to have fun on the island. Their hot chocolate and latte was really good! They can also make Avocado Toast without onion and garlic on delicious Rye Bread (eggless). It was a great place for breakfast and also in a convenient area!

Great breakfast items, fantastic service. The staff really goes above and beyond- for example when they brought our drinks they noticed the table was a little unbalanced and rather than just leave it- the server helped correct it. The egg on my avocado toast was so perfectly poached. My companion who is gluten-free says the bread was "the best she ever had".

I'd love to give this place 6 stars,if I wouldn't have to wait for my coffee over 30 minutes.
Yes, coffee was exquisite,food perfect, girls working her ...ses off to please customers.
Management!!!
WHY there's only ONE barista during rush hours That put a lot is stress and diminishes quality plus building absolutely unnecessary frustration when you have to wait your coffee over 30 minutes.
Anyway,if you're NOT in a rush and want to enjoy coffee and food, check this place out.
