Maui Wowi Tiki Trucks

We hired Maui Wowi of Bethesda to serve at our son’s eagle scout court of honor. The smoothies were the hit of the party. They were prompt, courteous, and very easy to work with and the smoothies were delicious! Thanks for making our event special.

Don’t bother with the tourist traps or gift shops at the Smithsonian /​National Mall! Maui Wowi is here to the rescue — on wheels!
On my second day in DC, I had brought a sack lunch to avoid paying museum shop prices — they’re nuts! However, it was absolutely freezing and I really wanted something warm to sip.
My friend and I noticed a bright orange, coffee kiosk, van thingee (yes that is the scientifically correct term, thank you…) and wondered if they would be just as bad, or offer some sort of competitive relief. We didn’t stop right away, but all day I hoped to see the orange van again so I could check it out.
When we finally did circle back around, on our way to the White House, the van was gone. My friend jabbed me playfully in the ribs and said, «aww, looks like your coffee van is no more.»
Then we turned a corner, and there it was!
First thing I was pleased to find was that it destroyed gift shop prices on coffee by about $ 1 – 3 cheaper.
Second point of awesomeness was that they round all their prices to the dollar. No $ 3.39 drinks here! Just nice round numbers, and they took my VISA.
The coffee was fantastic. Incredibly strong (I love it that way) without being sharp at all. Very surprisingly rich. I haven’t had a cup of coffee that good for $ 2 in a very, very long time. Half and half or whole milk are served by request from a pitcher and sugar or sugar substitute are self-​serve.
After having accepted defeat and disappointment in thinking I’d missed them, only to find them a moment later, it was a victory that could only be sweetened by free stuff.
Did I mention the free stuff? There is free stuff:
While almost every coffee shop that serves espresso these days will charge you 50 cents for a shot of flavoring, Maui Wowi has their coffee flavoring out on a rack attached to the side of the van so you can do it yourself — and the flavors are as complementary as cream and sugar.
I chose English Toffee just because it’s something I’ve never had in coffee before.

You can definitely tell Maui Wowi smoothies are all fresh fruit… my favorite is Black Raspberry. Aloha.
