I've already been to Kalia Cafe twice on this Maui trip, which probably says enough…read more The first time we ordered online for breakfast. I got the smoked salmon bagel and my boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich, and we both really enjoyed them! We also split the bubble waffle. We ended up eating it cold, but I'd definitely recommend eating it fresh/hot. The real star of the show was the Maui Melt panini I got when I came back a second time. LOVED IT. Easily my favorite thing I've tried here so far. I also got one of their specialty lattes with cold foam and asked for it less sweet. It was delicious! The barista was also super sweet and friendly. I sat inside at one of the corner tables and there was an outlet right next to me to plug in my laptop, plus WiFi, which was really nice since I wanted to get some work done. They also have outdoor seating if you'd rather enjoy the weather. Cute spot, great food and coffee, friendly service, and a good place to hang out or work for a bit. Definitely coming back!

Pulled up to Cafe Kaila about 10am and yeah... get one line. Nothing crazy though, about nine names…read moreahead of us. I was already doing the math and thinking , "Eh, we might be here awhile." But nah, good timing. People were finishing up, bussing tables, and bam, maybe 20-30 minutes tops. Not bad at all. While we was waiting, they come out with waffle samples for everyone in line. I mean... who does that? That's how you keep people from getting all hangry. Instant good vibes, the whole line outside was just smiling and waiting patiently. Finally get seated and both the hostess and waitress were super nice--real friendly, no rush, no attitude. In the front they had mushroom soup on the specials board, so we figured we go sample um. I had them bring a cup of soup out to start along with my wife's coffee. Gotta be honest--when I dipped my spoon in, I was already judging. Looked kinda thin, not creamy like other mushroom soups I've had. I was thinking, "Ahh here we go." Took one spoonful and immediately had to humble myself. That soup was money. Like, stop-talking-and-just-eat. My wife tried it and confirmed that this soup was "winnahs" . Deep mushroom flavor with the right amount of seasoning. It also came with a little piece of focaccia toast which I would have really enjoyed but had to take my wife's word for it since she ate um all . Should've ordered the bowl. Rookie mistake. For my main, I went with the original eggs Benedict. Portions were a little on the small side, but with the roasted potatoes, I was good. Didn't leave hungry, didn't need to loosen the belt--perfect middle ground. My wife got the strawberry waffles and yeah... those were legit. She's not a syrup person, so she asked for more whipped cream. The waitress comes back with a little mountain of whipped cream in the little silver ramekin. All in all, solid spot. Friendly people, ono food, and little touches that make you feel taken care of. We will be heading to Cafe Kaila again to try some other stuff like the "chicken and waffles", and next time, I'm not playing around with the soup. Bowl, Garans.

Luckily by the time we came, there actually was no line and we were able to walk right in. After having Papi's, I'd have to say winner goes to Papi's. Don't think I'd wait in line for CRP, and while it's good, can't say it's that much better than something I can get in the mainland like a Cinnabon.

The staff was friendly, service moved quickly despite how busy it was, and the atmosphere felt very local and welcoming. There are a lot of breakfast spots on Maui, but I can see why this place is always recommended. If you're visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by at least once. Just don't make the same mistake we did and over-order... although I can't say I regret it.

Their menu has a fantastic range, offering everything from different varieties of coffee to light bites and big, hearty breakfasts. I absolutely loved the healthy options they offered, though I do wish they had some sugar-free options available. The system here is simple: you head inside to place your order, and then you find an open table. Within about 20 minutes, the staff will call your name and bring your food out fresh and piping hot. When you finish eating, it can be a bit confusing to know where to take your plate. I asked the staff and they said to just leave it on the table. While I am not accustomed to leaving dirty dishes behind, the staff is very prompt and efficient at clearing and cleaning up. Great spot overall!

We also loved the Lilikoi Sweet Bun, filled with a bright passion‑fruit cream. So good. The Pina Colada Sweet Bun had great flavor, though it was a bit on the dry side. There are plenty of other options, and we'd definitely stop by again next time we're in Maui.

You have to try it. We've tried a few other pastries and they were decent.

What we got: Guava Matcha Latte - 8/10 Earthy and super tasty! You can really taste the guava, and I thought it paired really well with the matcha. Vietnamese Coffee - 8/10 Love that they incorporate Vietnamese coffee here! It was strong and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like it. Ube Coffee - 7/10 A unique coffee drink! I really liked the balance between the ube and coffee. Neither flavor overpowered the other, and it worked really well together. Definitely a fan favorite on the island. We'll be back again!
