Little Fish Coffee

My wife and I stumbled across this place (the best way) and were pleasantly surprised. I ordered a buttered bagel and a smoothy that included expresso, peanut butter, chocolate, and other tasty things. It was just what I needed. She ordered something healthy with kale and bagel too. Both were perfect.

The service was fine, they brought our order to us on the patio. They could have been a bit more communicative. There was a bit of a wait as someone had phoned in for four smoothies before we arrived. But we were on vacation so we relaxed on the patio and met a cat.

We'd have gone here every day if we stayed in the area.

Post our Holo Holo adventure, my cousin suggested getting a smoothie. Little Fish is located in the cute town of Hanapepe that is lined with art galleries, a restaurant or two and retail shops. My cousin said the town in Lilo & Stitch took after Hanapepe. Upon entering, there is a small area of tables, magazines and local pubs to choose from as you enjoy your beverage, then a counter by the back and just outside there is a sitting area that is shared with neighboring businesses. Your options are above the counter on black menu boards. I think I got what was as close to Jamba Juice's Acai Super Antioxidant and it was tasty. But when I left the café and was about to step into an art gallery, I looked at my hand and thought I was bleeding. What the... ! Nope, the cup wasn't wiped down clean so I went back to the café to get napkins, which wasn't stocked. Eventually I got a napkin. On my way out, I noticed that she was selling t-shirts with one of her kids' artwork on it. I believe it was called Little Fish Monster. It was cute. I'd totally market my kids' 'talent' that way too if I could. Cute spot, kind of a shy gal behind the counter but yummy smoothies for a warm day.

Best place for breakfast, coffee, or smoothies on your way to Waimea canyon.

It was like finding a slice of San Francisco (or Seattle, or Portland) on the island. They do hand pour drip coffee here. They also have amazing smoothies (very fresh and refreshing). I recommend the green monster or berry bonzai. They also do bagel sandwiches very well. I recommend the lox bagel.
