    Very good location & spacious. My husband & I stumbled upon this cafe after a day at the beach. I was very happy to sit inside this cafe. Their black coffee is very good - nutty & fruity. They also have a wide coffee drinks selection, as well as food.

    Had a late Sunday breakfast. Ordered the burrito with salad, Bubble Waffle and a side of bacon. Good portion to share. We enjoyed all. They were friendly and helpful. They were closing in 30 minutes and was nice about letting us know since we were going to sit down to eat. Ambiance was quiet. The place was clean and have cute merchandise for purchase as well as coffee bags to take home. Other customers came to purchase cold drinks. Would recommend if in the area.

    Service was excellent and food came out fast! Awesome food. Check out the store front for some goodies too.

    unsalted bland potatoes and an average bagel

    I spent $30 on breakfast and coffee here and when a bite of bagel went down slow as I tried to swallow, I asked for a cup of water. The cashier says, "I can't give you water. we have bottled water for purchase." When i looked visibly shocked she told me she could sell me a cup of tap water for 79 cents. "For the cost of the cup" .... she said. This level of greed, this lack of community care, is uncommon on the island. Spend your money elsewhere. Gross.

    Vegetable bagel sans cucumbers

    Wanted to let you guys know that if you order online a vegetable bagel don't expect cucumbers as advertised. Not sure what the menu looks inside because I thought it was the same menu. But when I picked up my order and went to work, I was disappointed that they, what I thought, forgot the cucumbers. Of course I checked the online menu, making sure I wasn't making things up, it says cucumbers as one of the ingredients. With that I called to let them know they forgot to put it on. The girl said they don't put cucumbers on their veggie bagels... I mentioned the website specifically and she did apologize and said she would let the manager/owner know about the site. So I paid $16 with tip for a bagel. Does come with a lot of chips ... so if you like more veggies bring your own‍ Oh haven't taken a bite yet, I'm sure it taste wonderful. Ok took a bite, yup taste like a bagel, don't know if they toasted it. Wasn't an option online. Would be better if the bagel was crispier. Enjoy!

    While waiting for my friend tog eat her nails done next door stopped by for Kalia's blueberry lilikoi (passion fruit) lemonade and it is so fresh and delicious. They have testers to taste their "butters" for lilokoi, ube, etc and I almost impulse bought them all. Truth be told there's a good chance I'll come back because everything tastes so good

    We were looking for a quick breakfast and found this cafe close to us in Kihei. The person taking our order was friendly, patient, and helpful. You order at the counter then pick it up at the when it's ready. This location is a cute spot and not very big. Yet, they have indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good. We ordered the Bubble waffles which resembled a mochi waffle. We also ordered the a bagel. The bagel would have been better with smoked salmon. We also tried the beef empanada. The crust was flakey and the meet filling was tasty, not spicy.

    Lox Bagel $18.42 with tax.

    Pretty basic and not a lot of lox. Very disappointing for the price!! $18.42 with tax....Will not order again.

    We visited Kali Café in Kihei. The location is nice, the staff is really friendly, and they open early, which is convenient. The coffee was just okay. We tried the bubble waffles, but they were just okay too, probably not something we'd order again. I also tried the Acai and coconut parfait, which was good. We ordered the bacon egg cheddar sandwich and the bacon egg cheddar bagel sandwich, both were good. We also asked for a croissant with cream cheese, but they forgot the cream cheese, and we didn't go back to fix it. Overall, it's a nice spot.

    Last time I was here I remember it being another name. Now it's under a new ownership "Kalia Cafe." I was with my cousin and we decided to try it out. The guy at the register was very welcoming and kind. My cousin and I decided to get some food and drinks. We chose the Matcha Latte and an Americana. Both were good choices. We decided to share the White Rock bagel , egg & cheddar and added bacon ( on everything bagel) It was delicious, but for me it would have been a notch up if the cheese was melted. Overall visit was nice. Would definitely come back and try other menu items!!

    Coffee is hot and tasty! Need I say more? haha We just wanted a quick, easy breakfast and this hit the spot! In a small strip mall (with 2 floors) ... Dolphin Plaza .... it's a tad hidden because there are other shops all around. Look for the huge line at Maui Bread Company... Kalia is 2 doors down from there. We cruised in around 7:45am on Friday morning and were quickly greeted and our orders taken. Didn't take long to get our food. It was hot ... so hot that I had to open up my sandwich to let it "breathe" a bit before biting into it again. I mean... what is a little burnt mouth to start the day? ha! Gives a different spin on 'broke da mouth'. They didn't skimp on eggs nor sausage in my breakfast sandwich. In fact, I gave some of my sausage to the husband to finish. His breakfast burrito came with a green salad. I like when places give you salad as a side to start the day... I mean... we should all start the day with greens (but I rarely ever do.) I took the banana bread to go for later... I forgot it was in my bag, and ended up eating it 2 days later and it was still tasty! Lots of banana flavor!

    Found this place after an early morning swim at the beach. Super casual. Pancakes and bubble waffles were great :). Try the cold nitro brew!! It's an order at the counter type place. Fast and easy.

    Lox Bagel
    Allie G.

    Kalia Cafe was our last breakfast in Maui - quick and casual! The interior had minimal decor aside from the gifts and merch for sale. I'd already gotten my caffeine fix that morning, so I ordered a Hibiscus Lychee Iced Tea, which was delightful - so refreshing. For food, I chose the Lox Bagel (toasted, on an everything bagel). As a former New Yorker, I usually have low expectations for bagels elsewhere, but this one hit the spot. The lox was tasty and I appreciated the capers on top. The food did take a little while to come out, but we also came in as a group of 8 so the cafe got busy very quickly. Overall, pretty good!

We ordered the americanos, and they were so good -- smooth, bold, and not overly bitter. Just a clean, rich espresso flavor done right. You can tell they care about the quality of their beans and how they pull their shots. They do have a small, simple menu, which I think adds to the charm of a small town. A handful of espresso drinks, teas, and a few breakfast options like bagels and warm pastries. Not a huge selection, but everything feels intentional and well made -- quality over quantity. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that laid-back Maui vibe where you can sit, sip, and just enjoy the moment. If you're in Paia and need a solid coffee spot without the big chain feel, Story Maui is definitely worth stopping by.
