The special was good and the omelet was good too. Seeing as the papaya delight was for my wife and it was more like a bowl of granola with a garnish of papaya, that's what drove my review. I should have taken a photo sooner so you could see the granola bomb but she tried to eat as much as possible before just ordering something else. read more

Kihei Caffe Lahaina - This was the papaya delight and it had more granola than anything, just a couple of pieces of fruit and a dab of yogurt. Not worth it. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

We came here for lunch but because we were short on time, we took the food to go. We ordered the loco moco with kahlua pork and sunny side up eggs, burger, and a breakfast sandwich. Loco moco was good but the burger was excellent! Love the sauce and the generous amount of bacon on the burger. Food came very quickly and wait staff was super friendly. read more

The food here is nothing special. Biscuits and gravy were just meh. Gravy was runny and no flavor. Biscuits tasted prepackaged. Pancakes were large. The staff seemed to be having a bad day. Overall not a pleasant experience. read more

Outstanding place for breakfast! This was my second time eating at this location. There is plenty of parking in the big lot and ample seating both inside and outside. I ordered the Chorizo & Scrambled Eggs - the eggs were super fluffy and paired well with the chorizo. I would definitely order it again! read more

Kihei Caffe in Lahaina was such a great spot to start the day. The atmosphere was welcoming and the portions were generous. The food was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot -- exactly what you want from a solid island breakfast place. Service was very efficient due to our constantly being busy, and everything came out hot and delicious. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Kihei Caffe if you're in Lahaina and looking for a satisfying, no-frills meal done right. read more

We knew we needed to have loco moco and ube pancakes while in Hawaii, and Kihei Caffe was the perfect place! The Lahaina location was in a plaza with plenty of parking, and inside was full of natural light. It was straightforward to order at the counter and find your own seat. The food is brought swiftly to you. \\ loco moco with kalua pork and over-easy eggs - the pork was soft and flavorful, and the gravy brought everything together in extra savoriness - the rice was warm and fragrant, too - huge portion perfect for sharing--my husband and i were more than satiated with splitting these two dishes \\ ube pancakes - it's already fairly sweet in a rich earthy way but drizzling some condensed milk really marries everything together - super fluffy and warm - again, huge portions! We also shared a creamy ube halaya--a cold rich creamy earthy coffee where ube meets coconut. Kihei Caffe is yet another place in Maui where I'd recommend going with friends and sharing everything. We'd love to come back! read more

Stopped by Kihei Caffe in Lahaina before my son's football game, for breakfast and it definitely hit the spot. The vibe was laid-back, classic breakfast energy ...busy but worth the wait. We ordered a little bit of everything. The fried catfish was crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned. The cinnamon bun French toast breakfast was next level... sweet, fluffy, and basically dessert for breakfast (no regrets). The corned beef hash breakfast was hearty and flavorful with crispy bits that made it really satisfying. And the pancakes with chocolate and banana were huge, fluffy, and exactly what you want when you're craving a sweet breakfast moment. Everything came out hot and the portions were generous...definitely the kind of place where you leave full and happy. If you're in Lahaina and looking for a solid breakfast with big flavors and island comfort vibes, Kihei Caffe is always a good call. read more

Excellent all around! Made it a point to leave the resort and support the local businesses. We came in for breakfast before visiting the craft market outside in the parking lot. Service, food and the restaurant itself were all great. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and came out quickly. It is a lively and vibrant restaurant that has a great neighborhood feel that is welcoming. We shared the breakfast burrito and French toast and it was plenty for two! Everything looked delicious I wish I was able to eat more! And I definitely had to take my POG to go, it was so good and refreshing on a hot day. Stay strong Lahaina! read more

Kihei Caffe Lahaina - Indoor seating - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

An absolute SOLID breakfast spot with great indoor / outdoor options located at a very popular corner street. Had the uber pancakes with a macadamia nut ice latte and cinnamon roll french toast. The ube was delightfully light, allowing the fluffy stack of the pancake to really shine through. The fresh fruit on top really helped to break up the flavors as well. The cinnamon roll French toast outfitted with two side pieces of bacon and scrambled eggs was a hearty breakfast or champions with a nice subtle twist. The bacon was cooked to perfection - crispy but laid out to drain the excess oil. read more

Kihei Caffe was recommended by one of the valet attendants at the Westin where we were staying on our last trip to Maui so we had to try it and so glad we did! They offer a wide variety of hot and cold coffee options as well as an extensive menu with something for everyone! It's a walk up counter where you order first and seat yourself, you pick up your drinks at the counter once ready and then food is brought to your table. Service was prompt and friendly and restaurant offers plenty of seating and can accommodate parties of all sizes. Hubby and I split the Fried Rice and eggs and glad we did because it was a very generous portion. They did not accommodate our egg white request so we got them on the side instead of scrambled in with the rice. Still delish! We ordered the cafe au lait and regular drip coffee, both were very good. If you are looking for a local spot to try for breakfast or lunch on your next trip to the Lahaina area definitely give Kihei Caffe a shot! read more

We went on Thanksgiving, its was one of the only places open. The staff was nice, you wait in line and then find a table. The waiter calls out your name so you have to pay attention to get your food. The pancakes were fluffy and they add a lot of toppings if you choose any. The fish was really crispy, the fries were okay. The loco moco could've been better. I would skip it next time. Felt like a mushy mess but the rest of the menu seemed good. The ube cold brew had more of a coconut flavor than anything. It's very pretty. They have really wide chairs and lots of space. I would be okay with coming back or not. read more

Kihei Café was always a spot that I would share with friends and family visiting. My favorite used to be the Loco Moco, but, the last two times I ordered it, the patty and gravy was not as flavorful. I liked it better when it was a fresh made patty versus premade. Yesterday, I decided to go with my next favorite corned beef and eggs with pork fried rice, biscuit and gravy. It, too, was lacking. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and establishment, including its restrooms, bright and clean. read more

Thanks to my Yelp friend Bobbie R for this wonderful tip. She noticed we were across the street at the Cannery Safeway and dropped a tip on my check in. This place was so typical Hawaii style breakfast in all the best ways. Fresh house made corned beef hash. Delicious pork fried rice with spam andPortuguese sausage. Crunchy sticky and fresh. The sweetbread French toast was also amazing. The portions were large. Kind staff at the counter. We ended up here twice. It was that good. Cold brewed coffee was amazingly deep and dark. The latte only came with whole milk. It was heavy. .0001 star deduction right there. lol. Dining was available both indoors and out in the lanai. We did both over the two visits. On Sunday there's a swap meet ( or whatever you call it) lots of cool finds. Can't wait to get back for more next time! read more

The bellman at our hotel recommended KCL, and we were glad he did. They offer bfast & lunch, in a very casual setting. We ordered the signature loco moco and the catfish sandwich (my dish). The sandwich was really good. It had a nice batter and the portion of fish was big. Hawaii Travel Companion raved about the loco moco. I had some, and I know why. The gravy was expertly seasoned, and the portion was massive. She liked it so much she wanted to return to KCL during our 5 day/4night trip. You order at the counter, and your food is brought to you. The staff is super nice, and full of Aloha. I would rather have bfast here vs upgrading to the Regency Club at the Hyatt, and have a lukewarm bfast. The portions are hearty, and the food is served w/ a whole lot of Aloha. read more

Kihei caffe. You walk up and wait in a line to go inside to order. While waiting the staff constantly asks you to move out of their way. Signs tell you to order drinks then food. By this point I am not feeling appreciated for supporting this small spot. They seem to treat customers as if they are a given. I like to feel appreciated. Food was fine. Coconut syrup was delish! We wanted jam. Strawberry was the only choice it is not on the table. Not a relaxing experience. I would try elsewhere next time. read more

Really wish I hadn't waited to the last day of our trip to try this place out as there are so many more things I would like to try. Generally I steer clear of homemade corned beef hash preferring the canned stuff that looks like dog food because chefs get too creative with their homemade stuff. Not here! This was the best homemade that I have had. Her cinnamon roll French toast was also excellent. Would come back here in a heartbeat. read more

We visit the original Kihei Caffe location everytime we visit Maui. This trip we stayed in Kaanapali, so we were excited to see a Kihei Caffe located in Lahaina. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't the same. The chilaquilles were on the salty side and my loco moco was almost charbroiled. I can deal with a newer location not meeting the standards of the original. BUT, The problem was with Jake's customer service. I respectfully approached him after we got our order and said "Excuse me but our chilaquilles are salty. How can we go about getting a pancake or something, we will just eat the eggs that came with the chilaquilles." He said to meet him over at the bar. (I'm like, Cool). My wife goes to the bar and he speak to her as if she is the problem! She states respectfully that the chilaquilles are really salty and he replies, " Well I like them and other people are eating them", and asks if she wants to order something else. So now, we have a meal that we just paid for and only had two bites and we have to pay for another food item. My wife orders a pancake ( which was good btw). But his response was unacceptable and dismissive. Why are you making her feel like its her problem the food is salty! There is no reason to tell the customer (my wife) that he likes the chilaquilles and other people are eating them. That is not how you handle that! No apology. No," what can I get you." My wife has had the chilaquilles before with no issues. After she places her order we are now both irritated and can't enjoy our breakfast. Because I don't like to leaving negative reviews we gave him one more chance. My wife approached Jake respectfully again to let him know that it's not OK to make your customers feel like they are the problem. And he came off very dismissive again. His only words were "Ok,ok yeah, ok ok. Never once said I am sorry, I apologize how can I make this better. nothing. We still love Kihei caffe, but will not be returning to this location again. read more

Great spot for brunch or lunch if you're looking for a quick bite. Don't let the long line scare you!! You order at the counter first before seating yourself and the line moves quick! It was out the door when I arrived but I waited about 10 minutes before I was at the front of the counter. Use that time to browse the menu as it is pretty big and there's lots of options to pick from. Once seated, our food came out pretty quickly (within 10 minutes) and everything was delicious! Surprisingly the potatoes included in the breakfast plates were really good. read more

A must-try if you're in Maui for breakfast. We had to wait a few minutes because it was busy, but it was worth it--the food was amazing!

This casual café is serving up the best corn beef hash I've had in years. I started my day late and I was looking for something safe and easy to order and get out the door quickly. I can't tell you how happy I was to settle for the corn beef hash! This stuff did not come out of a can, this was homemade! pure delicious. They have an option to upgrade your home fries to a side of fried rice, which I did, and I made it all the difference. I'll probably come back again for more. The service here is very cill and you kind of just find your own way around when it comes to getting water and finding a table. Check this place out read more

Kihei Caffe Lahaina - The holy Grail of corn beef hash with a side of fried rice! It was awesome - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

We have always gone to the Kihei location and since we were near Lahaina for a few nights I decided to get some brunch here. I probably should have waited until we were down in Kihei because we were not a fan of this location. The line wasn't too terrible and we ordered at the counter. I saw posts about prime rib loco moco and asked to get that as my dish, we also ordered the Mac nut banana pancakes and two kids meals. I got a cold brew cocktail and my hubby ordered their bloody Maria. Cold Brew Cocktail was mediocre so I would pass and just get a mimosa with pog next time. We found a table and 1 min after sitting down my daughter knocked over my husband's entire drink. I immediately asked an employee for a mop and towels. They were able to clean it up and we moved tables where the food was brought out super fast. The pancakes were great, but they usually give us coconut syrup and they didn't offer and it was too difficult to flag down someone so we just did without. My loco loco meat was super dry and old so I don't suggest you order and just go with the OG patty next time. I subbed fried rice too and the rice was super salty. I went to order another Bloody Mary at the bar and told them what happened. They ended up charging me again - wasn't super stoked about it, but whatever it was our fault. As a person that has been in the industry for many years I would have offered to replace the drink when it was spilled, but hey that's just me. The location has more tables and space and wait is shorter, but I would drive the 30 min to Kihei to eat at the other location. Felt like the staff were just annoyed at the patrons. Not great aloha vibes. Maybe we came on an off day for everyone. If you want no frills average breakfast food this can check the box. If you're in Lahaina check out Gazebo instead. read more

Soooooo freaking good! The best rice I've ever had! I wasn't expecting too much since it was just rice and egg but my god I'll probably compare every rice to this for the rest of my life! It really didn't need anything else but I'm a spice girl so I went a lil crazy in the sriracha. The coffee was also really great and not overly sweet.

I got the breakfast burrito and it was good, I enjoyed it. My mom got the surfer dude sandwich and asked for egg whites and they said they do not do that so she just had to get regular eggs.

We've been to Maui on the west side and south side multiple times and finally tried Kihei Caffe. We got there early and thank goodness we did because that line grows FAST! However they do a good job getting people in and out. It's pretty much good diner food. We got the pork eggs Benedict and the chicken fried steak. The pork has great flavor but I expected a bit more from the hollandaise sauce. The biscuit is like an in between a biscuit and an egg muffin, the texture was a little odd I want one or the other. I haven't had chicken fried steak in years and this totally hit the spot. Great gravy. The potatoes are, let's be real, French fries. Which I was NOT mad about!! I could have eaten a full plate of those. It's self seating and cute decor inside. Happy with our breakfast' read more
