Great local breakfast spot! We lived the idea of being able to to make our own pancakes; we had fun! Service was great and quick. There is a lot of seating but we came on a day that wasn't busy, so it was great we were seated right away. We ordered two bottles of the pancake batter between two people and realized one would have been plenty! Especially since e ordered other breakfast sides. read more

We came here because jt had good reviews. When we walked in it was lonely. The place was a bit dirty. The People there are friendly. The coffee was watered down. There wasn't anything too special about the food. Definitely needs more seasoning. The potatoes were hard. The bacon still had parchment paper on it. The breads were not even toasted and the jelly was watered down. I would've had a better experience. At a Denny's. read more

I can't recommend Slappy Cakes unless you like the novelty of cooking your own pancakes at the table. Food review:: Banana bread French toast- two slabs of super sweet banana bread. Not much French toast about it. Grand Slap- scrambled eggs were overcooked (brown), bacon was decent. No butter put on the toast or the pancakes. Had to ask and they brought cold butter slabs in the foil wrapping. Also no jelly. They brought a small ramekin of soupy jelly. Meh. Potatoes were dry and pancakes are definitely below iHop in taste. Cinnamon roll cakes- nothing more than some cinnamon in the pancake batter and a dollop of super sweet cream cheese frosting on top. Drinks- Orange juice and apple juice (okay from a carton) and coffee which was not as good as the coffee made in my condo. Service- pretty good but had to ask for things that should have come with the meal (butter, jelly, ketchup) and water was never refilled. All in all I would not return and cannot recommend as a good breakfast place in Maui.. read more

Horrible experience. Waited 15 minutes at the table to just get water. Others seated after us we served way before us and we were only a party of two. Food not hot. Mediocre. I love this place usually but horrible experience today! The bus girl clearing table left a huge cart of dirty dishes inches from my body and dropping g food and water on me. Disgusting. read more

We gave Slappy Cakes a try based on the good reviews. It was just okay. My teens liked it more than the grown-ups did. There is a griddle at each table and you have the option of making your own pancakes at your table. You can also have the kitchen prepare your pancakes for you. My husband and daughter order the seasonal batter which was a lemon poppy seed with some toppings. My daughter ordered a coconut syrup and husband had the lemon curd. They each got an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of batter and prepared their cakes at the table. My son and I ordered from the menu. I had the Hawaiian pancakes and my son had the cinnamon roll pancakes. The pancakes were just meh for me. I have had better pancakes. I probably won't be back. read more

It was good! Fun option to cook your own cakes, but we didn't this time! We all enjoyed our breakfast and bloody Mary's.

When I first heard about this restaurant, I was very excited to make my own pancake!! Such a great idea! Ok for the service, it was mid. The waiters didn't check on you a lot, but they still did here and there. For the ambience, it is again, kinda mid. Not too loud, but not too quiet. Finally the food. It was awesome! The let's lots of options and food choices you can choose in order to make your own pancake, such as nuts, strawberry's, chocolate chips, etc. Ovrrall, I recomend you try this place at least one time, though it does feel like something is just missing with the resturaunt. Shoutout to my waiter, Angie! read more

This place is so overhyped and full of lazy workers. They charged $28 for a dish with overcooked eggs. We asked them politely for them to remake it and they just brought out the same nasty dry eggs. They will pre charge a 20% tip and give you attitude because the tip is charged anyways. DONT GO HERE IT SUCKS! Can't even make a simple scrambled egg right. Honestly was the worst breakfast I've had in a long time. read more

The unique thing is making your own pancakes. Other than that, it is a bit overpriced. The menu isn't very big either.

Super fun experience with family of six! Ordered three bottles of batter which was enough for all of us (including sides of potatoes and bacon). Can't go wrong with the classic buttermilk and chocolate batter. Decided to try the ube flavor this time as well since it was a limited summer edition! It was good, not great, very little ube flavor. Got the dragonfruit lemonade, but wouldn't get it again. Food comes out relatively quick, however, our server was new and took about 20 minutes to get our coffee and tea. Super sweet guy, though, and didn't charge us for them in the end. read more

Great food! great staff! We had a fun experience cooking our own pancakes! We will be back.

Wow -- the pancakes are amazing and the loco moco was top-notch. We will come here again on our next trip to Maui! We did not do the "make your own" hotcakes thing because it was just the two of us, but I think we would if we were traveling with family. read more

Pancake My Eyes off of You Slappy Cakes brings the do-it-yourself (DiY) concept to breakfast, featuring everyone's favorite carb: pancakes. This is probably the most unique concept I've seen in a long time, as I've seen DiY KBBQ, steaks, fondue, hot-pot, and even pizza, but never pancakes. The Good: *DiY is really great if you have kids. My son loved making his own pancakes. *As an adult who does a lot of cooking and baking at home, I don't particularly want to do it in my leisure time either. :) That's why they have a normal non-DiY menu, as well. *Everything, including the Pancake mix, is all made in-house. *Make sure to ask for their housemade jam to go with your toast, or even on your pancakes! *I know this place is about the DiY and pancakes, but seriously, that Candied Bacon dish was done and dusted--out of this world good! Perfectly crisp, sweet, and a lovely crunch from both the bacon and concomitant macadamia nuts. You definitely need to get this. *Carissa loved her Brekky Hash that was loaded with loads of veggies and perfectly cooked eggs. *Service was very good. The Meh: *Kinda silly that the DiY pancakes is standard just the Pancake mix. They really should throw in one topping, but I get it as an easy moneymaker. *Wasn't a fan of my Hawaiian pancakes, as the batter was overcooked, resulting in tough pancakes, which is too bad since the toppings were really good. The Ugly: *Popular spot as there are lots of vacationing families traveling with kids that go here, and the tables with a grill are limited amount, so be prepared to wait. TLDR: Terrific place for breakfast with or without the DiY option engaged. read more

No ambiance. Although they have gf batter for you to make your own pancakes. But not memorable taste.

The food was super disappointing. Maybe just the pancakes are good??? I got the spam with eggs and rice, the spam was good, my eggs were undercooked, and my rice was still hard. My husband got the avocado toast with eggs, his eggs were also undercooked and the avocado was just canned guacamole. read more

Only open 'til noon. This is the local breakfast spot . The cool thing about it this place is the griddle booths. Only the booths do you the option to cook your own pancakes right there at your table. We didn't feel like doing any cooking though, so we sat at a regular table. The unexpected part was that they only serve wheat bread, and they do not put butter on the toast. You will need to ask for butter and do it yourself. Which is fine. I always end up putting more butter on my toast anyway. Butter just makes everything better! read more

Such a neat little breakfast place!! Super fun that you can purchase a bottle of pancake batter/toppings and cook your own pancakes while you wait for your food. It was my perfect solution to my sweet vs savory internal debate I have every time I get brunch lol The loaded potatoes were absolutely delicious, the rest of the food was great too. Our waitress was sweet, and got us in and out quickly since we were in a rush. Highly recommend on your trip to Maui! read more

The food was ok, but the service was terrible. It was not very busy and we were not acknowledged by our server, (Brittany M) for almost 15 minutes. We considered leaving and going elsewhere. After getting our bill we understood the reason for the poor service, for parties of six a 20% gratuity was automatically included. Been to this Island numerous times, will never go back to Slappy Cakes! read more

Visited this place on our second or third day since it was located right next to our hotel room at the Hilton. We wanted a quick breakfast to get us started for the day and thought this place was reasonably priced and gave a try. Apparently, this place is known for making your own pancakes at the table, which is interesting because I'm used to Korean food where we cook at the table. It's an interesting idea and thought it would be a good place for people who really like pancakes. My partner and I sat at the bar for a quick service. The bartender was really nice and sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu. There was a lot to choose from but I was pretty basic and ordered the biscuits and gravy. I also ordered their holiday drink and their mai tai, which is great a little sweet, but other than that it was good. The restaurant itself was really nicely kept and clean. Since we really didn't order much except our drinks and biscuits and gravy there's not much I I can say about this place. read more

We really enjoyed our time at Slappy Cakes. We got there during prime breakfast time, and we were a large party so we figured we have to wait a while. The wait time was less than what they told us. When we got to our table we were greeted fairly quickly by our server who was very kind. Make the pancakes on the griddle was a lot of fun. Others in our party enjoyed the Loco Moco and the Hawaiian pancakes. Both dishes were tasty and would be recommended. The wait to get our food was quick. We enjoyed our time, and definitely will be back or recommended. Heads up we were a party of 6 and were charged a large party fee. Just be prepared for that if you go with a big party. read more

Our family went here for breakfast during my kid's spring break in Maui. We came here with great luck, no line unlike most reviews mentioned . I guess the timing really made the overall experience great. We walked in around 11:30am as family size of four, two adults and two boys. We were welcome to be inside and seated right away. Boys ordered pancake DIY , and we got banana bread French toast and sloppy loco moco. For pancake dIY , my 8 years old and 3 years old really enjoyed it with their unique choices- butter pancake, strawberry , cream and cheese. Both had blast time on cooking and eating. Both of banana French toast with macaroni nuts and slappy loco moco, great taste with great portion. Not too sweet nor too salty, just about right. Definitely great place for family small or big group to enjoy for a brunch, of course, when no crazy lines:) . Also Our server Tino is also the highlight to make the dinning experience great. read more

The food was just ok and the staff seemed overwhelmed, and I take issue with the cleanliness of the restaurant, but what I really saw was an overall cheapness that took precedence over quality or food safety. We had a busser drop off 2 dishes of toppings for my kids pancakes and we noticed that we didn't order anything. It was a carafe of sprinkles and a bowl of what looked to be a week old strawberries. These dishes had probably sat at our table for 10 minutes or so and then a waiter was instructed to pick them up and delivery these two items. read more

This place was surprisingly good. Great location and the decor was awesome. We had the Oreo pancakes, banana nut fresh toast, loco moco, and mimosa. Everything was delicious. Surprisingly the loco moco hamburger patty was actually cooked perfectly medium and it was seasoned well. A bit on the pricey end but was good and portions were average. Definitely a good place for brunch and they are only open until noon. read more

Yum . Tried the Bloody Mary, the Maui buzz and Irish coffee. All the breakfast drinks were delicious. No complaints from anyone at the table with those. Next tried the candied bacon which was different but certainly not disappointing , Slappy moco was delicious, Hawaiian pancakes were a split decision good but batter could be better, blueberry tart pancakes no complaints, cinnamon roll pancakes batter could be better but still was decent, and finally the breakfast burrito about a 7/10 rating scale. Overall really good for a laid back breakfast spot. Would recommend and come again. Great speedy service too. read more

This is a place to take your children to, this is not a restaurant with good high quality food. The wait here is typically long, the restaurant is really busy and so once you get your food it's difficult to get you server back. We were extremely disappointed with our food, it was poorly cooked, expensive and it was too loud to hear each other speak. Do yourself favor, since you're in Hawaii find a place that has a great view so if you're paying for expensive bad food at least you can enjoy the ambience and the view! I honestly have no clue how this place has so many good reviews. read more

The pancakes are always amazing -- but we also had classic breakfasts, and their biscuits & gravy as well as the banana bread French toast were also fantastic. Plan on a wait for a table, or you might be able to sit at the bar more quickly. But it's worth the wait! read more

Slappy cakes we meet again! The kids loved it! And I once again got to have my favorite biscuits and gravy (forgot to photograph before I moved half to a second plate)! We haven't been back to Maui in several years but it was definitely a highlight last time and just the same memory this time! We talked about it for years after and it was the first place we went when returning to the island! We got there early to make sure to beat the crowds (7:15). Got seated right away! Our server Carla was lovely! Thank you Slappy we will see you several times this week! read more

How much fun is this place??? We arrived to a busy and packed restaurant early in the day--well, more like 10AM, but we are on island time. We were directly greeted upon arrival and offered to wait for a table or take a seat in the bar area. We were so hungry and about to catch a plane to Honolulu that we opted for the bar area. Good choice. Our server, Aubree, was quick and knowledgeable and fantastic. She had many suggestions and was super helpful. We got a few items and everything was delicious. From the avocado toast to the sausage and biscuit with gravy. Yummy yummy yummy! My Bloody Mary was fantastic and his triple C was amazing. The place is spacious and clean and quite inviting. The tables with the self made pancake stove tops are ideal and fun for both adults and kids to make their own breakfast with chosen toppings. read more
