    Loco moco

    If you're wanting breakfast in the wee hours here in Maui, this place is a great pick! Large indoor/outdoor seating area and the menu is pretty extensive. You pay before seated and you pick your own seats which is a plus! The food came pretty fast. Definitely check this place out when you're in Maui.

    French toast

    My family and I loved this location and the food was great. The prices are expensive but what can you expect it's Maui, HI. French toast was 10/10 and the bacon was top tier with the eggs and breakfast potatoes. We will be coming back!

    What a nice place for breakfast and good coffee! I am glad we got here at 6:30 in the morning because the line was forming fast soon after! We had orders for a party of 4 and waited about 25 minutes, but in the meantime, the Creamy Ube Halaya was amazing. The So Ono coffee would be great with an extra shot! The Macadamia Banana French toast is a definite must try. The Açaí bowl and Chia bowl are both great in my personal opinion and healthy, filling options! The outside seating makes for a nice place to have a leisurely breakfast, cup of Joe and people watch! The baby chicks are pretty entertaining too!

    We visited the Kihei Caffe at the Maui Gold Hotel in late September 2025, while the hotel is undergoing renovations (scheduled until December 2025). During this time, they're serving a smaller menu poolside in to-go boxes, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and portion sizes. My husband ordered the Loco Moco with Spam, which came with rice, a fried egg, brown gravy, and topped with green onions. It was hearty, flavorful, and a classic Hawaiian comfort dish. BIG dish! My mom and I went for the veggie burrito option (served without a tortilla) - essentially a scramble with eggs, spinach, melted cheese, avocado, jalapeños, and a side of fries. It was both filling and a relatively healthy breakfast choice, which we appreciated. We also tried the Keiki French Toast, which was golden, soft, and came with whipped cream. A simple but well-done treat that kids will enjoy. Even with the limited menu and the more casual poolside setup, Kihei Caffe delivered good food with generous portions. The menu leans toward hearty, satisfying breakfasts but still offers some lighter, veggie-forward options. We left full and happy - a nice way to start the morning on Maui. We're looking forward to visiting again once renovations are complete, but in the meantime, this temporary setup is still worth checking out if you're staying nearby.

    The actual physical cafe restaurant is under construction right now so they are serving by the pool. Its a very chill and relax type of place to eat. Very casual. Service was pretty fast and our waitress was nice. She got our orders in quickly and got them out very quickly as well. I got the French toast with 2 eggs scrambled. I asked if I could get potatoes instead of the breakfast meat options. It was nice they accommodated me. My friend and I didn't ask for it to go, that is just how they serve their food for the time being I suppose. Breakfast was nonetheless delicious! May have missed it but wanted to try their pineapple French toast. Oh well, maybe next time!

    The ordering process was easy and I appreciated the menus to view while in line. The omelette was very good and easy to customize. Home fries/potatoes were good and crispy. The Hawaiian Honey cold brew was so good!!!! So so good!! I wish I could get one every day to start my morning. Nice seating with half indoor/half outdoor options and fully indoor options.

    This Kihei Caffe is located in Maui Coast Hotel. When you enter, grab a menu and place your order with the cashier. Grab a seat, and your food should come to you fairly quickly! The location has plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes are great and the air is fresh! I ordered the corned beef hash with rice and eggs over easy. Note: As of April 2025, there is an additional $2 charge for any and all egg dishes. There is a 3% surcharge if you pay with card. Bring cash to play it safe! The portion was perfect, the hash was crispy and delicious, rice was well-cooked and eggs were delicious. The biscuit was buttery and yummy. Water is available to all, just grab a cup and pour from the dispenser. What a wonderful business, perfect for guests at the beautiful Maui Coast Hotel!

    If you're visiting Maui (like me) and looking for a casual place to brunch with family, this is the spot. Located in the Maui Coast Hotel, this restaurant isn't your typical, sit and order restaurant, the service is still welcoming and quick. You place your order at the cashier, grab your utensils from them, pick up your drinks at the bar, and find a seat to dine in while they prepare for your meal. Once your meal is ready, a server will call your name and bring it right to your table. For drinks, the offer the usual breakfast beverages: coffee, juice, mimosas. There is also a self-serve station for water and condiments. As for the food, I ordered the Irish eggs benedict which came with fresh corned beef hash and grilled tomatoes. Now, the usual corned beef hash includes fillers like potatoes and onions, peppers, etc. But during my visit, it was straight corned beef. It was still delicious regardless as it went well with the perfectly runny yolk of the poached egg, the sweet grilled flavor of the tomato, and the English muffin. The fried potatoes on the side also was a great addition to the whole entire dish. The dish itself filled my stomach while my heart was filled with spending quality time with my family. A few things to note are: 1) there is currently a temporary $2 surcharge on any fried of poached eggs, which a sign was posted in front by the cashier, 2) there is a small lot across the restaurant for you park, and 3) this place tend to get busy during peak brunch hours but the process is smooth. As mentioned, you order, find a seat, grab your drinks at the bar, and wait for your name to be called. It's a laid-back vibe for sure but when you're on vacation, it's all good.

    Banana Mac nut pancakes

    Delicious food, very large portions and quick service! The coconut syrup is the best on the pancakes as well!

    Steak rice and eggs. Standard diner fare but was def not even as good as what you can get at A Denny's. Disappointing

    Was ok. Kinda like the place you go to since its close by but doesn't really wow you. Real haole kinda place but the food was so so. Pretty bland actually. We got the chilaquiles and steak and both were kinda meh. Not much else to say tbh. The roads were flooded due to the Kona low storms so we were limited in places to go so we went here. Thats it. Wouldn't go back tbh. Place was nice enough, but just real basic and the food was just basic.

    Maui Wowee?? My friends and I came here this purely out of covenience reasons. This restaurant is located on the same property as our hotel (Maui Coast). NOTES 1. Revised hours are 6:00am to 2:00pm. There is actually a sign at the entrance notating their 2:00pm closure. 2. Per signage near the entrance: take a menu, order at the register, pick up your drinks, and have a seat. 3. There's another sign near the cashier notating to please order your food before finding a seat; essentially discouraging savings seats. 4. Indoor and outdoor seating available; though most seating is in their outdoor patio/lanai. 5. Provide your name to the cashier. Your name will be called when your food and drinks are ready. FOOD / DRINK The menu is very extensive. Per the menu, they serve breakfast all day. To note, the flip side of the menu is lunch and dinner. I was with 2 friends, and one was the other person in our group that also chose the Chorizo scramble. Our other friend ordered the Banana bread French toast. The food was ok, and slightly overpriced, but I guess that's what expected at a place that caters to tourists. There are many breakfast choices on the menu, so I feel confident one would fine something to satisfy their breakfast appetite. SERVICE Like the food, it was ok. The cashier was friendly enough, and the guy who dropped off our food was polite. We all thought they should adopt a better system when informing customers their order is ready. I think using a number system or providing small devices that vibrate or light up would be more efficient. Sometimes it seemed difficult to hear names, and while we were eating we observed a worker unable to find a customer when calling their name. Also, some customers will have the same name which may cause some confusion. BOTTOM LINE The entire experience was just ok. Unsure if I would recommend.

    Wife pick this place for breakfast. We stopped back on our walk back from seeing the turtles. This one was located at the hotel our view was the pool area. The food was great and staff were awesome. Food comes in a togo box. Both our breakfast were delicious. We will be back for sure. Cheers

    Food was amazing. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. The open air dining was delightful with a gentle breeze, feels great after a Michigan winter. The banan French toast was incredible!

Location: nestled together with other food trucks in the South Maui Gardens, we went on a Thursday when the arts and craft booths are there but to find the place there are no signs at all except the #35 on a mailbox so we drove into a gravel parking lot not knowing where the entrance was but there is the main entrance at the roundabout. Food: The burger was a double patty on a fresh baked soft bun and was cut in half which I find easier and less messy to eat. We also got the onion rings that were quite tasty seasoned and golden crispy and not greasy. A burger boys did not disappoint, and will be back.

The burger was very delicious, and they even cut it in half for us to share. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and cooked well. My only minor critique is that the bun felt a bit large and thick compared to the amount of patty, but it was still a really good burger overall. The onion rings were also excellent, crispy, golden, and delicious. The biggest downside was the price. For a burger and an order of onion rings + tax + credit card surcharge, our total came to $29, which felt pretty steep. The food was good, but the cost may give me pause before ordering again.

It's the kind of place that feels easy and relaxed while still serving really solid food. I went on a Saturday around lunchtime and there wasn't live music at the time, but they do host live music, which seems like it would make the atmosphere even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm looking for good food, large portions, and a casual, no-fuss atmosphere.

S e r v i c e The line appeared long, but it was moving as you order first before getting seated. Service was warm and helpful. We were a large party with a toddler and staff was accommodating to our party needs. (4/5) F o o d As for the taste, it was good but lacked some salt. I ordered the classic loco moco (with your choice of two eggs over a beef patty on brown rice and topped with a mushroom-onion gravy) and served with a big heaping of mac salad on the side. The brown gravy was a bit underwhelming, and the mac salad was rich with heaviness. I managed to try the Kalbi chicken salad wrap and found this dish to be a better option in my opinion. (3.5/ 5 at best) Overall, the chill vibes were great with a live band. But I would return to check out their brunch next time around.
