Starbucks - Kahului (Puunene Ave)
About
A Reliable Morning Ritual in Central Maui
Situated right off the main thoroughfares of Kahului, this Starbucks serves as a primary hub for commuters and travelers moving through the heart of the island. Whether you are grabbing a quick Pike Place Roast before heading to the airport or cooling down with a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher after a morning of shopping, the consistent hum of espresso machines provides a familiar soundtrack for locals and visitors alike.
The Pulse of Puunene
The space carries that quintessential coffeehouse energy, where the scent of roasted beans blends with the warm, humid air of Maui. It is a functional spot designed for those who need efficiency. While you might encounter a wait during the morning rush—the drive-thru line can snake toward the street during peak hours—the staff moves with a practiced pace to keep the traffic flowing.
What to Expect
Beyond the standard menu of lattes and cold brews, this location acts as a reliable home base for those needing a quick workspace or a pit stop while navigating the central hub of Maui. The seating area is often filled with students and professionals alike, providing a balanced atmosphere that is neither too loud nor too quiet. If you are planning to head toward the southern shores or returning from the North Shore, it serves as a convenient tactical point for a caffeine recharge before your next excursion.

Very chill place to grab a cup of coffee. I ordered a hot coffee of the day and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and freshness of the blend. Coffee refreshment stand maintained stocked. Plenty of seating, parking and close to a number of different shops and restaurants. A number of patrons were there for some time; you could tell they were comfortable and were regulars as I have been to this place twice now and saw some familiar faces. Also this Starbucks has a great variety of merchandise and coffee beans available to purchase. Definitely recommend.

I honestly believe this is the best Starbucks on the island. They’re so quick and efficient, and every time I come in, no matter if it’s day or night, they never fail to greet me with a smile. I always feel welcomed and they even got my order down after just a few visits. The store is clean and spacious. Good music, good vibes. Never once had a bad experience here.

I ordered a hot version of the Mocha Dubai Chocolate drink today 02/08/26 @8:03 pm then when they took my order they said “okay your total is…. Thank you drive forward” After receiving the drink, I told them I ordered “hot” then the male barista then said they don’t serve it hot and started insisting on their point instead of acknowledging the mistake +++ I don't like the way he approached me! I understand store policies, but if something isn’t allowed, it should be explained before the order is accepted. What made this experience disappointing was not the policy itself, but the lack of communication and the way the staff kept arguing instead of offering a solution
