Everything was great. The service was good as well was the food. I had a great experience at this place.

On a recent visit to Maui, I knew I wanted coffee and hearty food and this place popped up as recommended. Without the internet or a recommendation, I don't know how anyone would find this spot. It's in a little commercial area and is tiny inside. They have maybe six tables of various sizes and a bar along the windows. It's literally a mom-and-pop place, just an auntie and uncle running it, her in the front, and him cooking in the back. They have a fun eclectic collection of collections including money and map pins from around the world. She was super friendly in the front, sharing about all the things she's collected. Their menu is simple, pretty much eggs and meat. Everything is cooked to order and simply delicious. Coffee is a blend including locally sourced beans. Prices are reasonable but I wouldn't say cheap. It also seemed popular for large to go orders. It's worth checking out. read more

We were starving after landing in Maui and checked this place out as it seemed to offer food for my picky eater kids. The food was SO good, some of the best pancakes I've ever had! And portions were HUGE! We had a great home style breakfast, it felt like we were eating at grandmas house. It is a smaller restaurant, but the service is quick and tables open up fast. However, it might not work for large groups. read more

This is a nice, mom and pop ran coffee Cafe that is a little pricey but worth it. Not too much of these cafes are still in business. Simple menu with delicious breakfast. Its small but you can take your order on the go which is what I normally do. My favorite is the Eggs Benedict with hash brown and Canadian bacon. They have a simple coffee menu, that everyone would enjoy. They also have fresh fruit smoothies. The ambiance is low key and tranquil. read more

Want local eats? Headed to Hana? Stopped here on the road to Hana and were welcomed in with smiling faces. Throughout the duration of our meal many people stopped by. This delicious cafe is inviting and eclectic. It's giving mom and pop and homey ambiance. A large world map for you to pin where you're visiting from and a US map just below to get specific. Very cool. Push the singing fish yes, your dad wasn't the only one with the Billy Bass Singing fish. Nostalgic A variety of menu options: Blueberry pancakes: (combo) two large fluffy pancakes topped with whip topping and blueberries, scrambled egg, sausage, and bacon. Good and large serving good to share. French toast: served with sausage and bacon (pictured) Spam breakfast combo: spam, hash brown, egg, toast Croissant sandwich: egg, cheese, bacon and sausage breakfast San which. Delicious and large. (extra charge for croissant bread) They also have coffee, lattes, smoothies etc. Tons of lunch options I would return. Parking in the shopping center, restroom key upon request. Great service.

Vanta Cafe - Banana pancake with meat plate. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

The last 4 times I've show up here for lunch they've been closed before 1pm and once before 12pm. If I'm driving 30 minutes across the island to eat here at least change your hours so I don't expect a different result. That's basically 100% failure on 4 out of 4 chances for them to adhere to the hours they themselves have set. Their food is good but not worth the waste of gas money. The only thing they specialize in is disappointment. read more

Such a quaint and cute, and authentic place to stop for breakfast. This is not a glitzy or glamorous Hawaii breakfast - this is a homey mom and pop shop, interact with the owners, get a home-cooked meal type vibe. Which I LOVE! There are a lot of trinkets and toys on the walls and shelves so prepare your eyes. I got spam and eggs, which I was dying to get during my trip to Maui. Delicious and simple (picture attached), 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to return! read more

Stumbled upon this local place while driving through looking for a breakfast and I am so happy we stopped. This is definitely a local place with the sweetest owners! The place is very small but the food portions are great and the food is delicious.

Vanta Cafe - Decor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

I love diners and small family owned restaurants. Why? Because, usually, they try hard to make good food and serve their customers well. I thought this was going to be one of those places. First off, when you enter, there is a bucket holding open the door because water is dripping from above it. This didn't bother me much. It's a dive after all. It is very small, so my son and I opted to sit at the counter facing the parking lot. The woman working, I assume the owner, was nice enough. She took our order. My son got the special French toast. Basically, it was French toast with fruit on top. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Our order comes out. The French toast looked like it was just dipped in scrambled eggs. It was literally yellow. My son said that is exactly what it tasted like. Egg dipped bread. My eggs benedict came out with so much hollandaise sauce that you could barely see anything underneath it. It was edible, but not great. The hash browns were probably the worst I have ever had. They tasted like the freeze dried type you buy at Costco. Horrible. While we were there the family next to us was from the Big Island and they were saying how good everything was and how they came because of the Yelp reviews. I know they had the eggs benedict also. My son and I laughed outside because we were like that was one of the worst breakfasts we've ever had. The best thing was the oranges served as a garnish. Like I said, I feel bad when I have to give a mom and pop place a bad review, but I would also feel bad saying it was better than it actually was. If they could up their game, add some milk or cream to their French toast dip, make some real hash browns or at least frozen ones, not serve excessive amounts of hollandaise (and make better hollandaise), and basically serve good food, it would be an improvement. There aren't many breakfast sit down places in the area. They were nice enough people so service wasn't an issue. I will give a better rating when food may be okay but service is attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, that was the only thing acceptable about this. So, they get one star for the service and one star for the oranges and other fruit on top of the French toast. I know, I know. But, they chose the fruit, so that is worthy of a star. read more

Thought I'd check this place out on our last day in the area. I passed it up initially as I didn't realize it was inside a small strip mall. There is parking out front and it wasn't busy. The inside is small so I wouldn't come with too big of a party. There were 2 of us and we shared the deluxe French toast, which includes topping of banana or blueberry and bacon or sausage. There is an extra charge of $.75 for to go orders and that's per item ordered to go. They accept credit cards with minimum $8. read more
