Cafe onsite at Kiahuna Plantation at Outrigger Absolutely delicious breakfast. Delicious. They have full coffee options (latte, cappuccino, etc) tea, chai, hot chocolate. Juice. Pancakes. Traditional breakfast. Spam. Portuguese sausage. Bacon. Three Benedict options. Breakfast burritos. Paniolo. A couple of options I am not recalling. Everything was fresh. The service was fabulous. The owner or restaurant manager was involved and very friendly. Inside they had these massive brownies. I wanted one but did not grab one. They had a couple of other Breakfast goodies as well. I think they may serve other meals as well but I only had brekky here. Only lanai seating and a pretty view (that I was aware). read more

Believe the bad reviews. Avoid. Sad to say. I love this setting and wanted it to be great. Food was not good. What they had of it. Most items not available. And when manager /owner? Came to apologize it was so lame it was laughable. "It's a small island. We have troubles stocking things". THEY HAD NO RICE? For the loco moco. Better to say nothing than something so ridiculous Service ok but not great. Server tried. Never got more water. Wrong drinks Outside new metal roof covered area was too hot. No fans. Sadly they aren't doing anything right here. read more

The turtles on the beach were faster than service here. After an hour wait we were told they hadn't started cooking our food yet. The service team was pleasant and comped us our coffees and a pastry but I can't recommend going as we never received our food. Atmosphere was pleasant read more

We heard there was a new breakfast spot on the south side so we wanted to try it out. When I looked it up on Yelp it had lots of one start reviews but we decided to give it a shot anyway bc we wanted to experience it for ourselves. The entrance was a bit confusing, we walked through the restaurant to get to the hostess. We waited 15 mins for a table which was not a problem at all. While we waited, we checked out the menu and decided on a few dishes. When we got seated, we told our server what we decided to get, and she said sorry we're out. Ok, one thing is out. No big deal. So I asked what else is unavailable, and she continued to list 6-7 different dishes that were out. WOW. Ok. We settled on our third choice dish as well as a side salad which was pictured in the menu. Although it's a side, we were advised they couldn't make it as a side dish separately. So we just left it at that. As we were waiting, we noticed lipstick on our water glass. Neither of us had lipstick on. In that moment, we decided to go somewhere else. Our server was sweet and did the best she could with what she had. It wasn't her fault. We were honestly excited to have another brunch option on the south side, but this experience fell short in more ways than one. read more

Fantastic! So sorry for the previous reviews ; all because of their soft opening and people were impatient of waiting- they are a brand new establishment and doing a fantastic job! Highly recommend it. Their kids menu great options, their french toast to die for and then I got their papaya sunrise - so yummy. Service was friendly. Still waited because they are busy, they wouldnt be busy if they werent good. So dont listen to the reviews. Come, even if you are staying on the plantation or not. A great spot to try while on the island. Coffee (got their iced ube; so good), pastries and wonderful breakfast items. Thank you for making our families morning. read more

Good was amazing, service was great. They had beautiful flowers in their gardens. It was a very nice place to eat.

First visit: Breakfast: Wow! This place is great! Second visit: Breakfast: They still don't have chicken fried steak? Third visit: Brunch: I didn't ask about the elusive chicken fried steak. I also was served my sunny side eggs undercooked. I'd prefer not to have salmonella so I didn't eat them. Also had to find a staff member to get my check. Silly me, I should've known they were all inside sitting and chatting with each other. The ambiance is good but the service has a long way to go. Keep looking for a good breakfast/brunch place because this isn't it. read more

Best breakfast spot on the island. The food was delicious. Great portions, wonderful service and beautiful atmosphere. I can't wait to try their lunch menu. So excited read more

I had high hopes since I love the area where this cafe opened but the front and back of house were not in sync and it showed in both service and food. Don't want to assume it's always like this but a bit of chaos for sure on our visit there for breakfast around 8:30 . The hostess was great and coffees delicious. I really hope they work out their issues. read more

Food is decent but service is lousy. Coffee and water was never refilled. Waitress disappeared, I asked someone to get her so we could pay our bill. She never showed up so I went inside to pay my bill. There she was talking to her friends and completely ignoring us. Plenty of other places to go which are much better. read more

This is the first place where I felt unwelcome. We waited more than five minutes to be acknowledged to put our name on the list for a table, finally stopping someone to ask if we were in the right place. When we got seated, we waited 15 minutes without acknowledgment from anyone...weren't even asked for our drink order, so we left. Sadly, was looking forward to eating here but won't be back. read more

We would have really liked to try this restaurant. But after a 10 minute wait to be acknowledged at the hostess desk and then another 10 minute wait to be seated we were ignored by every server person who walked by us. We waited at least another 10 or 15 minutes before we got up and left. It was disappointing because the location is beautiful and they appear to have a nice menu, but when a business is so uninterested in taking care of their patrons I don't feel the need to spend my money there. read more

We love eating here as we stay nearby when on Kauai. The setting is AMAZING (large water garden with orchids) and it's just a perfect and peaceful sun-rise location for breakfast, which is a rare treat on Kauai! Good coffee and some unique and delicious items (eggs Benedict) on the menu. read more

We went during the soft opening 2nd weekend. Our waiter/server Jenny was super sweet. The on-site manager was there helping. Food came out fast. It tasted amazing. Had the seafood Benedict and sweet crepe. Would come again. The bakery foods come from orlys they were tasty. read more

The cafe is so beautiful, in a quiet courtyard overlooking lush gardens. Seating is comfortable, drip coffee is delicious, and the pancake was perfect. Filling and not too heavy. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good breakfast spot. Update: Went back this morning and snagged the passion fruit smoothie. Absolutely delicious. Sitting under the gazebo listening to the water features, surrounded by the garden greenery, was the perfect way to start the day. read more

Kiahuna Sunrise Cafe - Passion fruit smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

We are locals who came to the restaurant to try it out for the first time. We actually got up and left because we'd never got served after waiting for a bit. The restaurant was busy, and most people did not have food which was not a good sign. We were never given a menu, water, or anything else, so we left and went to another restaurant. Unfortunately, we won't be back to try this one again. This was the most consistent complaint and they were right. read more

The food was great! Almost worth the wait, which was over an hour. Inexplicable given how few people were eating at the time we arrived, mid morning. I understand they are in their "soft opening" period but after two-and-a-half weeks they should be further down the road than they are right now. Beautiful setting. read more

We were guests at Kiahuna Plantation and excited to find a new place to try out for breakfast. Our experience was very disappointing. We arrived and asked if we could place a to-go order. They said it may take a while- they said 20-30 minutes. It was obvious they were pretty new, all the employees seemed confused on how to do things. Our order took an hour and were met with many excuses and rude employees. The food was mediocre at best. Employees didn't know what was on the menu- we had to point to each item. Crepes were too sugary and there were rubbery. Breakfast burrito tortilla was dry. Açaí was on the menu but they said they didn't have it. Food descriptions on menu weren't great. The "fresh fuel" healthy option needed salt and the English muffin was totally soggy. This place could've been great and we had high hopes, but our order cost over $100 and wasn't even close to worth it, wish they would've been apologetic and/or offered a discount for our 60+ minute wait for the order. Denny's or fast food would have been better- and cheaper. So disappointing. read more

We really wanted to like this new cafe. But were every disappointed. Way overpriced and poor quality food. Both of our meals were served cold. Poached eggs were barley even cooked. One of us ordered a breakfast burrito w/ veggies which menu said would come with refried beans--there were no beans. Not hot, over-cooked eggs on one end, potatoes on the other. The chipotle-smoked salsa, tasted like chemicals and left a lingering terrible taste in the mouth. Egg dishes do not come with potatoes or any side that any normal breakfast cafe offers. You have to pay extra if you want any potatoes, or rice on already overpriced dish. Coffee was weak, not hot and overpriced. Too bad, as setting is beautiful. read more

I had breakfast at Kiahuna Sunrise Cafe and really enjoyed it. The food was good, the service was friendly and attentive, and I would definitely recommend it. I had a 3-egg omelette and it was delicious. The location is great, set in a beautiful garden that creates a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. A wonderful spot for breakfast. read more

Top notch in food, service and setting! It's the kind of breakfast that actually lives up to the anticipation. Coffee cups are never left empty, and there's an easy friendliness that makes you feel like a regular--even on your first visit. Great place to enjoy Hawaii's best. read more

Delicious food and beautiful presentation. I had an Americano that was just so-so. But everything else was good and great service too.

Kiahuna Sunrise Cafe location and ambiance is amazing. It has one of the most elaborate garden settings for a mainstream restaurant that I have ever seen; running water, multi-level ponds, and beautiful vegetation everywhere. The seating is comfortable and spread out sufficiently to enjoy good conversation with everyone at the table. As a newly opened restaurant, the entry-way can be a little bit confusing (walkway is integrated into the garden) but nothing a few signage tweaks can't fix. I always rate food relative to the price and style of restaurant. I've eaten breakfast here a couple times and it's all been high quality, tasty food with a bit of a southern flare. The drip coffee (for true coffee drinkers) is much higher quality than the average for a restaurant (highly recommended). Location is best enjoyed on a morning where the very unique garden setting can be fully appreciated. read more

Walking distance from Sheraton hotel. Nice breakfast selection. Very popular place. Glad we arrived early for breakfast. Go visit Moir Gardens and orchids around the cafe. read more

Extremely disappointing and frustrating breakfast experience. We waited 45 minutes just to be served cold food -- and it wasn't even the correct order. After pointing out the mistake, we had to sit there another 10-15 minutes while watching tables that came in after us get served before we did. Completely unacceptable. It honestly felt like we were treated differently because we're locals, which is ironic because locals are the ones who bring repeat business and referrals. Instead, we were made to feel like an afterthought. My partner works in the tourism industry and will absolutely not be recommending this place to visitors -- or anyone else. The coffee was cold, the food quality was poor, and the service was careless from start to finish. There was zero sense of urgency or accountability. For a simple breakfast, this was a shockingly bad experience. Definitely not worth the time or money. read more

I would never come back to this place. Food was cold, no spoon for coffee, wrong food order to our table, coffee was cold, no coasters on tables for your drinks, waited 40-45 minutes for our order. read more

We ate breakfast at this little gem several times during our stay in Poipu and hope to try it again during future visits. They are going through growing pains, having been just recently opened, so kept that in mind when slight glitches happened. Especially enjoyed the Crab Benedict. The ambiance is special, with outdoor seating near an orchid garden and fish pond. At the time, they only had one chef and so the wait for food was slow. Hopefully they will hire a sous chef to help speed things along. but as our server explained, it is a challenge to find staff. There are also plans to open for dinner. No reservations and it fills quickly. but wasn't a problem for us early risers. read more

The service was excellent. Staff very attentive and friendly. And the food was so full of flavor! The setting is relaxed with vegetation and beautiful grounds all around you. Great breakfast read more

Really great food! The orchids are beautiful and so many varieties! Caprese Benedict yummy!

Wonderful deck on the plantation. Service took forever.... Not like Hawaii time forever but forever and I don't even think they brought what we ordered. Fair prices. read more

Never coming back here again! Locals are ignored! Very disappointing... if you're brown don't come
