The breakfast burger is amazing! Have come here 4 days of our trip just for the burgers and açaí bowls! Staff are so kind and welcoming!

Food and service is amazing. The breakfast burger is hands down the best burger I've ever had!! The bacon jam is so delicious! This is a go to spot when we come to the island read more

Fantastic!!!!!! Drove by and saw the sign. Turned around and ordered. I was wanting Loco moco. I let the very friendly lady at the register pick my options. ( fried rice, grilled onions, mushrooms) I picked egg over easy. This was the best Loco moco I have ever had. The gravy was tasty and tied everything together. "Delicious" !!!! When we come back this will be a must have. Wife ordered Belgium waffles with blueberries. Our little girl ordered waffles with blueberries. Nice little patio to eat at. Great find. read more

Da Reef Cafe - Loco moco. - Waffles Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Sisters and I vacayed on Kauai a couple of weeks back. During one of our leisurely day of exploring, we wanted breakfast. For a more local like experience, I searched for ube and ube waffle came up from the Da Reef Cafe. Perfect as it was in our way to the north side of the island. It was a rainy morning and we were lucky to grab the last spot. Customer service was so sweet. Love the ladies here. And so very helpful. Food delicious, especially the ube waffle. Fried was ono. Omelettes were good. And the best part, free live music. I guess. The musician in t-shirt, shirts and slippahs had a bar seat waiting for him right at the counter and he sat there and happily shared his talent with all the diners. And it was raining. Nice that the umbrellas were big enough to cover the four of us on the only outdoor patio dining. For sure I would come back. read more

Happa Haole here!! Today we went to try Da Reef Cafe because Kountry kitchen is closed on Tuesday's and boy am I glad we did!!! The biscuits and gravy was fire I mopped the whole plate!! The biscuits were fresh and super tasty and the chef definitely puts his heart into his craft! The sausage gravy is made from scratch and the flavor is amazing! I consider myself a biscuits and gravy connoisseur and I can tell you this is some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had! I'm already looking forward to next year's trip just so I can get that biscuits and gravy again!!!! sorry I didn't take a photo, but I was too hungry too stop and take one Mahalo read more

Came here based on last year's experience. Didn't disappoint. Staff is friendly. Business is clean and food is reasonably priced. Food is also delicious. read more

Great counter service. Really great fried rice. Also recommend the eggs Benedict. Emily was super nice and welcoming!

Da Reef Cafe is an order and takeout eatery. The ambiance is a grab and go. There is only outdoor seating. The service is very good, and the aunty taking the order is very nice and friendly. She makes you feel like you're at her home. The breakfast items we selected were excellent. Everything was prepared and cooked to perfection. Not a single item was overcooked. For the Breakfast Bento, the Portuguese sausage was slightly crisp on the outside, and very tender throughout. The scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy. The fried rice was tasty and flavorful. I really enjoyed this selection. The Açaí breakfast bowl was very refreshing with the various textures of crunch, creaminess, and fruit flavors. A very delicious and healthy breakfast. The corned beef omelette was the special for the day. The corned beef was NOT canned, but made with real corned beef and onions. Very delicious. Every item we ordered tasted great. The only comment that we had was with the Breakfast Bento. Even though the food was excellent, the quantity you get for the price did not match. The bento is small, and the price should match the quantity. If the items were put on a plate as in a restaurant, you would able to see the difference. That said, I would still recommend giving Da Reef Cafe a visit for breakfast. The service is great and aunty will make you feel at home. read more

Small portions, big price. Just okay. It's surprising how high the reviews are. Nice people.

Food was Ono, and the dining area was exactly what we were looking for. It's small and quaint, plus the corned beef hash was pretty tasty. Plus bathrooms available and really kind server who have us tips for vacationing while on Kauai. Dark horse for me was the Açaí bowl. That was so simple and refreshing. 5/5 read more

I got an açaí bowl here and I really enjoyed it. The food was ready quickly and it was good. The prices here were decent. However, they did make part of one of our orders incorrectly. read more

Good food and cheap. This place is a mix of tourist and locals. They remember your name and care about their customers. The food is good and decently priced. read more

We're there every weekend. Their açaí bowl is out of this world! Toppings include granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and I add peanut butter, mac nuts, and coconut. Yum! read more

Unfortunately I can't say my experience here was a good one. I had the spam and eggs with fried rice, no drink. About 3 hours after I got violently ill. (Which I don't have to describe for you to get the idea) It was only my second day of my vacation. I had only eaten one other thing that day which was a smoothie that my whole family had (no one got ill from) I remained ill for 4 days. I had to go to the emergency room. It pretty much ruined my whole trip. I would say personally be careful going to eat just anywhere. read more

Good food but lots of room to improve. The most notable is consistency in hours. Otherwise, this place is solid read more

This place is above and beyond awesome! We came here the first day of our vacation, and every day after except for the day they were closed. The Acai bowls and breakfast burgers with bacon jam are a must! We will definitely be back next time we are here. Super friendly family owed restaurant! read more

Very good food but very small portions. I got a BLT with potatoes (actually just cut up fries) and an acai bowl. Both yummy but I wasn't even full after $30ish and eating them both. Also I paid a $1 extra for a 'scoop' of peanut butter on my bowl but it was actually a light peanut butter drizzle, a bit stingy. We also got their special- biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs. Again very good but tiny. Actually not even biscuitS and gravy because it was only 1 biscuit cut in half. Also drip coffee was $4.50 what a rip off. Cute outside eating area- shady and nice but keep in mind probably not the best if its raining. read more

Loved the food, the loco moco was amazing (get the fried rice option!) and I was asked what temp I wanted my hamburger? Amazing. Great roadside place and outdoor seating. Just overall a great experience that I am happy I stumbled upon! read more

First time eating here, nice outdoor seating, clean. Order at counter, staff very friendly and explained specials. Quick service, food came out hot and large portion (loco moco with mushrooms and onions) We have been on the hunt for the best on Kauai and so far Daddy O's is the best loco moco. This place is 2nd and Kountry Kitchen 3rd. Pricing was fair. read more

We ordered the moco loco and it was out of this place! We ordered it with fried rice!! So delicious!!! The people there were very very nice. Amazing experience even with it being rainy!! read more

This is an outdoor walkup order cafe. the setting is good, street side but with nice privacy screening and umbrella tables. the food was good breakfast fare, done to order read more

Great local place. You order at the window to go or eat it on their street side patio. The food was excellent. Like every good place in Hawaii, nothing is cheap. Breakfast for two with tip was $55.00. Same breakfast back in Kansas would be half that. read more

Da Reef Cafe was absolutely amazing! We came in with a huge group of 30 people, and Auntie Anna was the sweetest and so welcoming. The staff handled our large group so efficiently with getting all of our orders in quickly and providing the best customer service the entire time. Everyone was so kind, organized, and attentive. On top of that, the food was delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well worth it. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! read more

Small local cafe with outdoor seating only, but the food was delicious. My party of 4 ordered 2 loco moco, 1 French toast, and sausage gravy with biscuits. Everything was really good. Decent portions, very filling and tasty. Owners were so friendly. Definitely a must try for good food and friendly vibes. read more

Nice little cafe, good spot to stop at for a yummy brekky! Good variety of choices on the menu. Good people too.

Da reef has great breakfast menu taste like homemade. The atmosphere is mellow and great people

If I could give more stars I would. Family owned business with the friendliest service. We went back multiple times just because the food was delicious, reasonably priced and fresh. They have the best homemade bread. There are tables up front with umbrellas for a nice and filling breakfast. They even remembered our names when we came back. Just a relaxing atmosphere. Great way to start the day. read more

This place is basically a walk up window with some patio tables. Don't let the sketchy look fool you, it's a better breakfast than you'll get at the place across the street that has long, long lines. The biscuit gravy was light, very tasty, with sausage with a hint of sage. The bacon was crisp and light. Some people complained the portions were small. My wife and I shared a plate and we were fine. But we are also the kind of people who don't supersize a double cheeseburger meal, so if stuffing yourself is more important than quality, you should find an IHOP cause Da Reefs prices are comparable to everywhere else on the island: expensive! read more

Great food and open early. Happy and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Recommend the loco moco with mushrooms. So good if you're looking for authentic Hawaiian breakfast early morning! read more
