Espresso Mafia

A high-precision espresso bar in Makawao where the technical skill is the real draw—think honey cream lattes and perfectly pulled shots that make it a destination for serious coffee drinkers. The owner, Anthony, is a master of the craft, and the vibe is a mix of high-end equipment and a cozy, rustic-modern courtyard. If you're looking for a quiet, empty shop to settle in for hours with a laptop, this isn't it; the seating is limited and the lines move quickly but steadily. Go for the technical perfection of the espresso and the charm of the town, then take your drink to go to explore the rest of the street.
