I loved this little cafe, it's a great spot for a quick breakfast. It's located in a shopping plaza, so there are a few other stores around as well. The cafe is mostly takeout, but we ordered and sat at one of the two small tables outside. The owner was super friendly and ran the place himself, which made the experience even better. Here's what I tried: Surfer Bowl - I'd highly recommend this if you like rice with your breakfast. It was very flavorful, and everything worked well together. Definitely my favorite. (5/5) Tow-In - If you're in the mood for French toast, this is a solid choice. It's pretty simple, but the coconut topping adds a nice touch. Basic, but good. (4/5) If you need an early bite and you're in the area, this spot serves up a solid breakfast with friendly service. Parking: Easy, with plenty of spaces in the lot. read more

This was the best food we had during our week in Kauai! Do not miss the pork fried rice and the French toast. Both were absolutely amazing. The French toast must have been 2+ inches thick and slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Service was fast and friendly both times we visited. I can't wait to go back and eat there on our next trip. read more

Nice little breakfast joint in walking distance to the beach. There is free parking in the complex and a bunch of shops to walk around as well. The food was solid. I got the French toast and my husband got the Kalua pork. We both enjoyed the meals. The French toast is pretty large and I did not finish it. The bacon was perfect! The roosters and birds surrounded us trying to get to his food! read more

My husband and I had a yummy breakfast here. They are in a shopping center. They don't have tables inside but there are some outside. The guy working was awesome and very prompt and helpful. My husband got the Riptide eggs Benedict and thought it was incredible!!! They didn't mention that this came with overnight oats which normally wouldn't matter but it had some stuff that we can't have due to allergies. The avocado toast was delicious but very messy. I really enjoyed the lilikoi iced tea and they did tell me I could get refills. This is a really solid breakfast option to stop in to before shopping. read more

We always get their avocado toast and mango overnight oats! Fast service. Not enough outdoor seating though. Never disappoints!

Went here twice for breakfast and it was consistently delicious! The food is flavorful, seasoned perfectly and the eggs are incredibly fluffy. Even our picky toddler ate an entire portion of scrambled eggs! We loved the surfer's bowl, the tube ride, the mea kanu and the rip ride :) don't skip out on their cold brew either because it was one of the best we've had on the island. The service is quick and friendly. There are two tables with benches you can use to eat right next to the restaurant. read more

Our first morning on Kauai, we went to a local restaurant on the south shore. To our delight, the breakfast turned out to be the best of the whole trip. The French toast with lemon and berry topping was to die for. We sat at a nearby picnic table While the chickens roamed around the yard, very fun atmosphere. Service was kind and efficient, small place with a big taste. read more

Small breakfast nook in a shopping center. Order and find a seat at one of the tables scattered around the larger shopping area. Our orders were hit and miss. An omelette was quite good. The Surfer Bowl was as not as convincing, with some of the ingredients not tasting particularly fresh. Not rising to the level of a complaint, but not much inspiration for a return visit. read more

Bought several dishes for take out. All great! But the Shark Omelette with Kalua pork was soooooooo salty. The Mea Kanu and Hang 10 were great! I loved the overnight oats too. read more

Great local gem with tasty food, generous portions, and fair prices. I've been coming here for years, and they've been consistently solid every time. The Kalua pork fried rice with jalapeños hits a perfect balance of sweet and heat and is a great way to start the day. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. Seating is limited outdoors, but it's ideal for a quick, satisfying grab-and-go. read more

We come here for breakfast often when on the island. My absolute fav is the pork fried rice breakfast! Good lord it's good! The way the chef crisps up that rice!! My hubby had the french toast with eggs and Portuguese sausage and he raved about it. It's casual, little seating and gets busy! But go! It's a must read more

Tucked away little breakfast spot in the Poipu area. It's located in the Kiahuna Plantation center so gotta go looking for it. One of the few breakfast places in the area that's not on a resort or a Starbucks. Was pretty busy in the morning but food comes out pretty quickly after you place your order. We got the avocado toast sandwich which was $17 a pop. It was essentially a BLT with guac and pesto which definitely put a different spin on this sandwich. The bread was toasted well and doesn't cut the top of your mouth (thank goodness). Overall, great food. read more

Their portions are large, good and filling, see my pics. We were on the way out of town, and made a quick stop for breakfast/brunch. While they don't have inside seating, we readily found outside seating. Even though their menu is limited, see my menu pics, they execute well. Under the sandwiches heading, is their Avocado Toast, see my pic. This more than "toast", there is ample avocado and the bacon was great! It was warm, rich, creamy and bacon savory! My pic doesn't do justice to the Shark Omelet - it should be sold by the pound. There were a ton of meats, and it seemed more than 3 eggs. This was savory and rich, truly filling. At the time we visited, this is only a morning restaurant. read more

We stopped by for brunch after 10am and was very short line. It's a small shop in the shopping center. We ordered The Shark, Kalua Pork fried rice and breakfast plate. The Shark was too salty for me so I didn't really enjoy it. The fried rice was good but the toasted rice pieces hurt our teeth. The breakfast plate was decent. We sat at the bench right outside but be warned the chickens will come at you. Will jump up on table and will try to eat your food. read more

Yummy breakfast! It's a to go place but there is a small area next to Anuenue where you can sit and enjoy your food. Everything we ordered was so good.

Solid takeout breakfast cafe, an appealing menu cooked to order. I enjoyed the veggie fried rice with a couple of eggs, enough carbs and protein to keep me satisfied until dinnertime. The cold brewed iced coffee is great, too. Note that there are actually two park benches to sit at, one next to the cafe, and one hidden around the corner next to adjacent sandwich shop which opens later in the day. You do have to share them with the resident roosters and chickens and their chicks, as well as the other customers. Get here early before a line forms, although it does move quickly. Conveniently located in the Poipu Shopping Village, plenty of parking. read more

Wow this magnificent veggie fried-rice is more than just a delicious breakfast! Amazing flavors make this meal more of a love letter to me. Yes, Chef! Yes, I love you, too, for cooking this perfect plate of yummy goodness. If we ever meet, I promise to thank you myself. I've tried almost everything on the menu here at Anuenue, and everything is spectacular including the location and atmosphere. I return often for the overnight oats, hibiscus tea and now my all-time favorite veggie fried-rice! Yum! read more

Great local place with fabulous coffee and reasonable prices. Will be back. Service was excellent.

We ordered 'The Shark' Omelette and 'Riptide' egg Benedict. Both have Kalua pork in it. The Kalua pork was unreasonably salty and it degrades the taste of both Benedict and Omelette. Besides that everything was ok not great. read more

Got the Hang 10 Benedict and it was delicious. The side of overnight oats was a great surprise and I would totally come back just for those! Owner is super friendly and gave us some great recommendations for good spots to snorkel. read more

Went here a few years ago and my family was very excited to return. The food is prepared quickly, but there is definitely a line to wait in. My family enjoyed the shipwreck, avocado toast sandwich, tube ride, mea Kanu, anuenue, and I ordered the riptide. They all loved theirs, and I thought mine was ok. I am not the hugest cheese person so I am not faulting them for a very cheesy sauce, but I swear my kalua pork was dipped in soy sauce or something. It was so salty, and that really disappointed me. I appreciated that the omelet and benedicts were served with some of their overnight oats, which had a great amount of mango! The shipwreck and avocado toast were not as much food. Everything was served with plastic utensils, which were low quality and broke multiple times. There is also not much seating at all, you have to get lucky to secure a picnic table to eat at, and there are only two close ones. read more

Needed to get away from the big resort hotel and yelp steered me here! A very short line when we arrived that moved quickly and I loved the kalua pork fried rice with over easy eggs cooked perfectly. My only struggle was the lack of seating. There was one adjacent picnic table but it was full, so we sat on a bench area around the corner. The sparrows and a chicken immediately accosted me and it was tough to enjoy my meal. Still, would return and maybe take back to the hotel. read more

Tucked in Po'ipu shopping village, Anuenue Cafe offers delicious breakfast options! It is counter service and they have limited seating to the right of their building. If that area is crowded, you can always take your meal to the middle of the shopping village where there is plenty of area of sit. Beware of the birds and chickens though - they will approach! I opted for the Mea Kanu omelet. It was a good sized omelet, filled with a variety of veggies and topped with pesto, balsalmic drizzle, and cherry tomates. I also got a little taste of their overnight oats which were good! My order came out timely and the service was friendly. If you're looking for breakfast on the go, Anuenue would be a great place to pick up from. The menu is diverse offering a unique blend of tradtional American and Hawaiian style brekfasts. read more

Amazing breakfast that you can get relatively quickly without having to dine in. We ordered the french toast and an omelette. Both absolutely delicious. The French toast is definitely a must order. Fluffy, sweet, and cooked to perfection. The shark omelette which is basically bacon, kulia pork, and ham was a bit salty but definitely a good choice. Portion sizes were on the smaller side (1 piece of French toast) and definitely left us wanting a bit more. Service was friendly and quick. The location is a small spot with 1 outside table for seating. Perfect for taking out back to your resort or eating around the shop plaza. This place is a must check out for a quick and absolutely delicious breakfast read more

Asking the concierge at my place of lodging about where to get a good breakfast, he touted a restaurant in a nearby hotel property. When I walked down to look I observed that though the hotel was on the oceanfront the restaurant was not. Also that the cost of breakfast for two there would likely set me back upwards of $80. Lucky for me I then discovered Anuenue Cafe, a place I returned to twice during my stay. It also wasn't on the water but neither was it going to set me back anywhere near the cost of breakfast at a hotel restaurant. Anuenue Cafe serves voluminous portions of meaty and carb-rich food that doesn't just taste great, it'll also keep you sated until late into the afternoon. The huge Shark Omelet ($17) accompanied by a hearty scoop of delicious Overnight Oats is just one example. Filled to bursting with sautéed bacon, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, and cheddar cheese this could easily be a breakfast for two. And what everyone says about the pork here is true: you'll love it. With its fast-casual service model and 100% al fresco picnic table dining, Anuenue Cafe is running laps around whatever you'd wind up with at the hotel restaurant that the concierge might've steered you towards. If you want a big and hearty breakfast they've got you covered like a big warm blanket. read more
