    Burrito
    Catherine M.

    A great stop during our trip in Maui. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. My husband and I split one of the speciality burritos and it was huge and very good.

    What a great breakfast place!!!! Dining is outdoors. Order. Pay. Then be seated. As for the food, it was DELICIOUS! The pancakes with banana and macadamia were pretzel y sweet and fluffy. Definitely eat it with the coconut syrup. The Loco Moco with kalua pork Orion was sooooo good. Go with kalua! And the fried rice was the best fried rice I've eaten. Wish I could have some more of their foods but gotta go deal with reality back at the mainland. Highly recommend this place.

    This place is always buzzing with locals and tourists and that's because they have great food, quick services and multiple locations on the island of Maui. On a recent trip we dined several times. A few things to know, they are busy but have a super system for getting you in & out. 1. Order your drinks & food at the counter 2. Pick up drinks at the next counter 3. Find your table with the help of the busser/greeter standing near by (we never had an issue getting a table) 4. They deliver the food 5. Enjoy the food! Loved their pastries and drinks, this is an easy eat spot for island flavors.

    I couldn't get enough of the catfish and breakfast potatoes. Went here three days because it was so yummy. We were lucky enough not to have to wait in the super long line that forms at this place. You HAVE to try this spot

    Awesome cold brew! Ass the Macadamia nut flavor!

    We visited a few times on our vacation last week. It was a block from our Airbnb and had quality coffee to boot! Cant't beat that. We had such good customer service each morning we even went for breakfast the last day of our trip. Coffee = good. Ambience/customer service = good. Food = GOOOOOD! My son loved his pancake and my wife and I shared the banana macadamia nut French toast. Best French toast I've ever had. Restaurant was very clean as well.

    Had to come here for the first breakfast in Maui and it was a 10/10¡ Husband loves Eggs Benedict and picked the Kalua Eggs Benedict. Portion size of the pork was actually really large which was quite good. I'm not usually a pork person, so I'm not the best judge, but he loved it! Buttermilk pancakes with banana and macadamia nuts - 10/10! Such super fluffy pancakes and They actually went so well with the bananas and macadamia nuts! I'm not usually a banana or macadamia person, but honestly this combination was delicious! Got some Grilled chicken breast on the side for protein - Nice that they had this option of getting just plain protein on the side. Also got their daily special coconut something coffee! It was a season of item so I don't even remember what it was but it was yum for sure! We came at 9am to beat the crowds and got seated immediately. Service was also very quick! Also got a table outside with a view which was lovely.

    Fried rice - I believe it had portuguese sausage, spam, and some other protein

    Our eyes and stomachs ordered before our brains did, so even though we went family-style for every meal during this trip, for some reason we made our last one hefty and all ordered our own portion. A big happy mistake, I'd call it. We all really liked what we ordered and even got an extra portion of banana macadamia pancakes to share, so needless to say we had some leftovers. The line was out the door but moved pretty quickly and we were able to snatch up a big enough table right away but there are employees that will help seat you when they can. They also had some tres leches cake samples on the side at the register for you to try, but maybe for that specific one they can try out a new method because it was just pieces on toothpicks. And if you know anything about a good tres leches, you'd know it was drenched and so it was inpossible to pick up with a toothpick I imagine it tasted amazing though

    Solid breakfast and lunch joint for locals and tourists alike. They have all the classics and some brunch specials on Sat and Sun. Hurry on the weekend before they sell out on the specials. They only provide 1 refill on coffee and sodas (no refills on lemonade), but you'll need to go to the counter if you want a refill. The outdoor dining area is spacious and very scenic. Overall, 4 out of 5 due to some dishes not worth the squeeze.

    After reading all the raving reviews, I was excited to try this for breakfast. Pros: 1. Plenty of parking nearby 2. Line moves fast. You order and they announce your name and bring it to your table Cons: 1. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Had the mochi pancakes and they were drenched in oil. I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the day as it was hard to digest. Looked nice but not at all pleasant to eat. 2. Drinks weren't called and when I went to check on them, they had been sitting on the outer with ice melting. 3. Eggs with bacon were ok, again nothing to rave about. I think they are used to being a popular touristy place and quality doesn't hold up. I wouldn't be coming back.

    Macadamia nut honey latte.  Yum!!
    Esther H.

    Always amazing they take credit and debt card now . Food is always so good. Cute atmosphere with chickens .

    Pete S.

    I've tried both locations on my latest trip. The ordering process is pretty much the same. Stand in line to order, then grab an empty seat. Listen for your name and the staff will deliver your food to your table. Great food and fast service all around. Both locations are right off of S Kīhei Rd. You'll find one in the Kīhei Kalama Village with outdoor seating and the other at the Maui Coast Hotel both indoor and outdoor seating. Different vibes but try them both! Seafood Omelette Special - Cheesy shrimp, crab and green onion omelette smothered sauce with pork sausage. Loco Moco - Traditional Hawaiian Breakfast. Two eggs any style and choice of 1/2 Ib Black Angus beef burger patty with steamed white rice covered in brown gravy.

    Looking forward to brunch!

    Thank you Yelpers for the reviews here. Motivated to get out for breakfast, we got here around noon and enjoyed a filling meal of Kahlua pork Benedict and corned beef hash. Nice to have a warm biscuit with butter and the delicious coconut syrup on the table. Very flakey and so yummy. The corned beef has bits of crispiness on the edges and a good ratio of potatoes. Just right. My over easy eggs were cooked perfectly, their version of potato chips is fun and again, the biscuit if very good. Hubby really enjoyed his Benedict with its generous portion of meat and perfectly cooked poached eggs. Parking is easy across the street and this is definitely a place to come back to! You order first and then sit down is all you need to know.

    There is a line in the mornings, but it moves fairly quickly. They try to seat you right away after you order. The food was great, no complaints!

    As soon as they open

    What is in the Ube cold brew latte (besides Ube)?

    Cash only, but they have an atm inside.

    The Legendary Malasadas A true Portuguese-Hawaiian style…read moremalasada is a work of art, and Sugar Beach nails it. Unlike standard donuts, theirs are fried to a perfect golden crisp on the outside while staying unbelievably fluffy, light, and pillowy on the inside. The Passion Fruit (Lilikoi) Magic: Tasting that tart, bright, tropical lilikoi burst against the sugary, warm dough is unforgettable. It cuts right through the richness of the pastry perfectly. Freshness First: Because they open bright and early at 6:00 AM, getting them warm means you are catching them at peak texture--crisp, airy, and meltingly soft. Mouth-Watering Savories & Pies It's rare for a bakery to completely master both ends of the spectrum, but they strike an incredible balance between decadent sweetness and rich, savory comfort: The Quiche: Getting a morning slice with a perfectly flaky, buttery crust and a rich, velvety egg custard is the ultimate savory breakfast comfort. The Key Lime Pie: A masterclass in balance. The sharp, refreshing pucker of the lime curd pairs flawlessly with a thick, buttery graham cracker crust, making it the ultimate mid-day or post-beach treat. The Croissants: True to artisan form--shattered layers on the outside, a rich, tender, airy web of butter on the inside. The Ultimate Beachside Vibe What truly seals the memory is the pure sense of place. It's a quintessential "cute little bakery"--unassuming, warm, and hyper-focused on quality. Being located right across from the beach means your morning walk isn't just an errand; it's an experience. Holding a warm box of malasadas and a fresh coffee while looking out at the ocean is pretty much peak relaxation. Just remember the golden rule of the neighborhood to avoid heartbreak: they take Sundays off, making Monday mornings all the sweeter when those doors swing open at 6:00 AM again! Service was awesome . Staff was very attentive

I had the peach cobbler warmed up and a la mode, and it was delicious. Crumble toppings on pie are my absolute favorite, that buttery, crumbly goodness you wish would never end. Hubby had the key lime pie a la mode, and it was the perfect balance of creamy sweetness and tart, but not too tart. Both slices came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, which is the only way to do it. The service was friendly, too. The indoor seating was full, so we sat outside, which turned out to be lovely for people watching and enjoying the fresh air. If you have a sweet tooth and appreciate a proper slice of pie, Maui Pie is worth the trip. Highly recommend, and I'll see you there for more peach cobbler!

    ONE OF THE BEST PIES I'VE EVER HAD…read more ** But terrible customer service ** This place would easily be a 5 star if they had more polite people working there. My mom politely asked if they had any sugar-free pies available. The girl at the register stated " you need to ask for those a day in advance". So my mom asked if she could place an order now to pick up one tomorrow. The girl then looked up from the register with an annoyed look on her face and said, verbatim, " does it look like I'm the head baker? I only work the register. You need to leave the store and call us to order". We all looked at each other shocked. That was the most rude response I've heard in a while... like we are supposed to know who specifically ask to order a sugar free pie ... ... just a wild situation for such a fun place with great tasting pies. The good: - blackberry mango was probably my favorite pie - peach cobbler a close second place - loved the mountain berry as well The bad: - the girl working the register - you want a sugar free pie? Make sure to NEVER ask in person. You have to call in. - And they only offer whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies The verdict: - minus 2 stars for the rude girl who yelled at my mom - minus 1 star for only having whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies, even though they only have 3 flavors to choose from... Such a shame to have people like that working at a place that serves such a good product.
