Hanalei Coffee Roasters

A North Shore staple where the bakery case is the real star—think innovative twists on Danishes and fresh-baked sourdough. The espresso is high-quality and the open-air lanai is a perfect spot to soak in the Hanalei vibe. If you're looking for a quiet, fast stop or a late-afternoon caffeine fix, this isn't it; the lines are long and the hours are notoriously fickle. Go for the fresh pastries and the morning rush, but check the doors before you drive from the south shore.
