We had brunch here on our trip to Maui and had a wonderful experience. Th lovely lady who helped us was so sweet when we asked her for recommendations! They have inside and outside seating which I thought was pretty great and accommodating. We got our food really fast and enjoyed our time here. Looking forward to our next visit, thank you! read more

Kihei Caffe Lahaina - This is the Pork Fried Rice Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

During my birthday weekend, we spontaneously decided to check out the Lahaina location of Kihei Caffe at Lahaina Gateway. The original location in Kihei earned a loyal following with its no-frills, hearty breakfasts and this second outpost brings the same local flavor and laid-back charm to the west side. Here they've also expanded their traditional menu and added new options. They are open daily from 6am to 2pm with breakfast served all day. You'll find breakfast classics like Southern biscuits and gravy, huevos rancheros, steak and eggs, and of course, loco moco (a local favorite). We arrived to find a line stretching almost out the door which almost made us turn back, but to our surprise, it moved quickly. Their counter-ordering system keeps the flow smooth: you place your order first, grab a table, then they call it your order when ready. Just a short while later, we were digging into our breakfast spread. We went with a mix of local favorites and house specials: the loco moco, corned beef hash with fried rice, banana mac nut French toast, and a sweet potato scone to save for later. The corned beef hash was the standout--crispy edges, savory flavor, and a perfect pairing with the fried rice. This was our favorite dish of the bunch. The French toast was also a tasty choice--thick, indulgent, and rich with banana and macadamia nut flavor. It's definitely a dish to share with the whole table as the serving is pretty large. The loco moco didn't quite wow us--the beef patty was tough and tasted store bought--which was quite a let down as I thought this was one of the things that always looked so good on their social media posts. We enjoyed everything else on the table though and the friendly service also added to the experience. One of the bussers went out of their way to help us find seating and did it with such genuine warmth that it added a layer of aloha to the whole morning. It's the kind of little gestures that stay with you and really made an impression as he was kind to not only me, but every other guest that crossed his path. I wish I could remember his name! I'll admit, I usually steer clear of spots that are very touristy--but I'm glad we made the exception. Kihei Caffe brought together good food, great vibes, and unexpectedly warm service to create a birthday brunch worth remembering. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

This was a fun place for breakfast. A little line out the door when we arrived. You order and pay at the front then go find a seat. They will find you. Im not eating red meat so I ordered chicken sausage and cakes. 2 cakes fill the plate and was quite filling. My wife had the corn beef, definitely recommend as its home made. She had one fried egg on top. She said it was delicious. I had to have a bite and was onolish! Definitely recommend this home style breakfast and lunch spot. Closes at 2pm. read more

It was such a pleasant dining experience at the Kihei Caffe compared to our previous dining experience in the Lahaina area. When we stepped into the shop, we were greeted with clean and spacious dining area, relaxing music and friendly staff. We quickly placed our order and they delivered the food right to our table. It was difficult to decide what to order since everything looked so good. We finally settled on the Loco Moco, the Mochi Ube pancakes, fresh pineapple juice, cold brew and house drip coffee. We are happy to say that everything tasted awesome! The loco moco was tasty as the rice and egg were perfectly cooked, the burger was flavorful and the sauce was just right. My husband enjoyed his mochi Ube pancakes as they were crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. Though he had a bit of FOMO by seeing that the table next to us ordered the macadamia nut pancakes... He also felt a little FOMO by seeing a lady holding a tasty looking mango lemonade... Overall, we really enjoyed having breakfast here as it's a pleasant spot to dine in and relax. We might come back tomorrow! read more

Cafe Kihei in Lahaina is an absolute gem with incredible food and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere! From the moment we walked in, the lady at the front made us feel right at home with her warm hospitality. We struck up a lovely conversation and discovered a small-world connection--her son attended Chapman University in Orange, which was just a quick 12-minute drive from where I used to live in Fullerton, CA! It's those personal touches that make a dining experience truly special. ​As for the food, everyone in our group ordered something different and loved their meals, but the standout favorites were definitely on my plate. The homemade corned beef hash was phenomenal, and the side of biscuits was incredibly memorable--perfectly baked and delicious. ​Between the fantastic service, friendly conversation, and top-tier breakfast comfort food, this is a must-visit spot in Lahaina. We will absolutely be back! read more

Been driving by here since I got here since it on main highway in a shopping center and I was not planning on eating here but I did because the food truck we been trying to eat at for 3 days isn't open lol But!!!

Seating inside and outside Great service too and friendly! read more

$75 brunch so... Better than I expected. We had the #5 French toast with a side of corned beef hash (5 stars) and a 2-2-2 with fried eggs, bacon and French toast with the banana- macadamia nut topping. Very good. The service was friendly and quick. Overall worth the $75. Would do it again. read more

Came during a historical storm and it was just the respite we needed from the rain. We got an everything bagel and lox, chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon and eggs, mochi pancakes for myself, and my husband and I each got an iced cold brew with macnut, honey and cinnamon. The mochi pancakes were so good that I ate them plain, without syrup or butter. Loved the crisp in the bacon, and that the servers brought our order to the table, even though we ordered at the counter. Would love to visit again sans rain and sit on the patio. read more

Great service. Food came out very fast. Variety of menu so everyone should be able to find something they want. Corned beef hash was good but the most flavorful thing we tried was the battered fish in the fis and chips. Very cute whale pancake on the Keiki menu. Prices are very reasonable for the area. read more

My bf and I came here twice during our visit to Maui!The workers were very nice here. You order up at the front and then seat yourself, the food will be dropped off to you when it's ready. There is lots of seats inside, it is nicely decorated and clean, there is also seating outside. First visit I got banana mac pancakes and a creamy ube coffee. My bf got a loco moco, both dishes were fire. The second visit we got Kalua pork eggs Benedict, which I was hesitant about, but I'm so glad I got it. The pork was so tender and melted on my tongue every bite, it was cooked perfectly. Next I got the same toppings as the pancakes the first time we went but this time with waffles, and that was life changing, for me LOL. It was so good, I may be bias bc I just love waffles but it was so good, trust lol. My bf got the hashed corned beef and that was tasty as well. For the drinks we got the creamy ube and that was sooo good, and the so ono. Both are local favs but I loved the creamy ube. read more

I have also a review on Kihei Caffe in Kihei, check that out too. This location in Lahaina is beautiful. It was a really great restaurant to visit - so colorful, bright and welcoming. My husband and I both ordered the catfish and peppers with cheesy eggs and grits. We liked it so much at the Kihei location, we decided to order it again at this location. Service was great and welcoming. Bathrooms were clean. Plenty of seating and parking. Okay, the reason, this location did not get 5 stars was because of the eggs. They were awful for me. We ordered soft scrambled eggs. What we received was dried eggs with cheese sprinkled on the top. We sent them back and received with super runny eggs. For me, they were inedible. It was a disappointment. The grits were too salty so I was not able to finished my bowl again I was disappointed. But the catfish was fire!!! Soooo delicious. I won't be in a hurry to return to this location in the future. You know, food is too expensive for me to waste my time. (I created a collection of all the restaurants we visited on Maui from fine dining to food trucks and all in between.) read more

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

1/25/26 I watch a lot of shows located in Hawaii and am always hearing about a local dish called Loco Moco.....Steamed Rice and a Burger Patty smothered with Gravy and topped with a egg.. On my recent visit to Maui I made it a point to try this dish. My friend is a local and he told me that the best on the island is at Kīhei Caffe. So on a snorkeling trip to Lahaina we stopped in for brunch. The Loco Moco was as good as I had heard. They offer a couple different versions and I decided to go with the Kailua Pork, it sounded better than a Burger Patty. Delicious! A monstrous plate of fluffy Steamed Rice piled high with tender, smoky Kailua Pork, lots of tasty Brown Gravy and 2 perfectly cooked over-medium eggs on top! Lots of flavors meld and really pull this dish together. And the plate was so full that I actually got 3 meals out of it! My buddy had a Breakfast Burrito that was massive, and he raved about all day. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this spot for the Moco! 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

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.

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

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

Nice, Bright, friendly and a casual place for ohana and friends to gather to eat. We ordered the fried rice with over easy eggs and pancakes with bananas and mac nuts on top. All the condiments are on the table and they brought the coconut syrup for the pancakes. Both dishes were ono and would recommend! read more

Mid at best, average in every capacity. The yogurt parfait was good but the pancakes tasted rubbery and like microwave eggo pancakes. If I wanted a rubbery tire with syrup and chocolate chips I could have gone to the store and get rubbery eggo pancakes. Also the chocolate chips were on top of pancakes and not cooked inside it was like a melted chocolate chip frosting only on one pancake. 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

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

Absolutely delicious breakfast! Wish we went here in the beginning of our trip but if we did, we wouldn't have tried other breakfast spots! Very clean and welcoming. Order at the counter and slide over for your drinks. Coffee refills you go back up to the counter and they will refill for you. The servers walk around with your food calling names out! You raise your hand like you're in class! "Here!" I had banana and macadamia nuts pancakes with a side of hash. It was real hash! Not the mush from a can. Coconut and maple syrup are already set at the table. My daughter had chicken and waffles. She loved it! Freshly fried so it was scorching hot! (It's a good thing!) It is set in a plaza and there is a Foodland there and a Safeway across the street. We walked to Foodland after breakfast to grab poke for later. Much later because we were stuffed! We will definitely be back when come back to Maui! read more
