    Break + Feast - Koloa, Kauai Recently visited the Garden Island of Kauai and found a restaurant I really enjoyed in the quaint town of Koloa, just north of Poipu. Located on the second floor of an open-air complex, Break + Feast is definitely worth seeking out. Make reservations if you can--it fills up quickly. We were lucky to get in early before the rush. Service runs on "island time," so don't expect mainland speed, but that's part of the experience. The modern decor gives the place a fresh, welcoming feel. As for the food--absolutely worth the wait. Everything we had was ono. The brisket benedict is a must-try. The brisket was tender and packed with flavor, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I also ordered the loco moco, which ranks as the second best I've had (with one spot in Maui still holding my top spot). The gravy and eggs here really stood out--rich, savory, and done just right.

    Benny with Portuguese sausage
    Dena B.

    Food was excellent as always. I had the Benny with Portuguese sausage and was very good. Service was lacking though today. That is why I deducted 2 stars. Our waiter never came back to ask if we wanted another round of drinks or refill our waters. He did come finally come back around when we were almost done and said he would refill our waters. That never happened though. We have ate here several times before and have never had poor service though, so hopefully it was just an off day for this waiter.

    Best breakfast we have had during our stay. We had banana pancakes, bread pudding, bimibap. So good! Recommend a reservation and expect a wait for food. Also the only coffee is French press but you can go downstairs for more options from Ali!

    Mediterranean Toast

    We stopped by before heading out for a day of hiking after finding this spot online and thinking it looked promising. We ordered the eggs Benedict, the Kalbi Bibimbap, and the Mediterranean toast. My boyfriend enjoyed the eggs Benedict, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side. The Kalbi Bibimbap was tasty, but definitely NOT traditional. We asked for an extra side of gochujang and kimchi veggies, which ended up being an additional $7.50. That would have been totally fine, but it would have been nice to have that mentioned ahead of time since the side of veggies was TINY. The meat was flavorful and overall the dishes were enjoyable, but that surprise charge left a bit of a sour note. It slightly impacted how we felt about the service. In the end, the food was good, but not quite enough to bring us back since the service was just okay.

    Green Eggs & Pork Belly - to DIE for!
    Julianne B.

    You gotta try Break + Feast. What a feast it is! I read over many of the reviews - there were an uncomfortable few that said the service was terrible and they would never come back. So I was leery of this. But most were saying the food was great, and the pictures seem to suggest that as well. Sooo, we decided to meet our local friends (shout out to J&E Lethin) here for lunch this week. Holy cow our plates were AHmazing !! If we were staying longer I'd be back for sure. But first things first: The service we got was top notch. From being greeted as we walked in the door to our table service. Our specific server was super on top of it, very professional and friendly as well. I have no complaints. I ordered the Green Eggs & Pork Belly - it was out of this world. The egg layed happily over its bed of rice and smiled up at you from between the zesty green drizzle and was accompanied by 4 sliced adobo pork belly strips. The rice was the perfect addition to the salty pork and soaked up the yolk as well making your bite absolutely perfect. The pork was crispy and at the same time had a good chew to it. I'm embarrassed to say I ate the whole thing! You've got to try the fresh brewed hibiscus iced tea as well - so bright and refreshing! My mom had the Pigs in a Blanket and though she was planning on saving half for later (doesn't eat much) she ate the whole thing! Haha I was super impressed with how they cooked the hashbrowns. We always order extra crispy anyway, but they were absolutely perfect. Our friends loved their plates as well, I heard no complaints. Great food + even greater company = a beautiful experience. We will be back!

    A popular and tasty stop for weekend brunch. We were looking for a nice local place to grab a meal that wasn't connected to a resort and this looked like a great option. There was about a 25 min wait for a table at 10am on a Saturday, would definitely recommend a reservation if you have a big group or aren't willing to wait. We got a small french press coffee that was plenty for two people. The lilikoi pancakes were the highlight with a generous amount of flavorful curd on top. The benedict with bacon was really tasty as well and the focaccia base was a really unique touch. We left stuffed and ready for the day!

    Best Moco Loco ever!!
    Margaret K.

    EVERYTHING about this establishment is amazing!! I'd give it a ten star review if I could. The ambiance is so well thought out. It is very warm and relaxing. The food is next level! My husband ordered the Moco Loco. He said it was one of the best he has ever had. I do not like breakfast food, so I ordered the hamburger with honey chipotle aioli. Mmmmmmmmmm!! I've had a lot of hamburgers in my life and this definitely ranks as the very best. It was cooked to perfection. That aioli sauce paired perfectly with the burger. Our server was so polite and friendly. The prices were so reasonable. We've eaten all over the island and been gauged. We will definitely eat here again before we leave. We love that it is family own and operated!! I highly suggest that you make a reservation. It is a popular place. Thank you Break + Feast!! You truely are above and beyond the rest of the restaurants we have eaten at!!

    Eggs Benedict with Portugues Sausage
    James G.

    We stumbled on Break + Fast and thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant has a unique vibe -- bright, modern, and stylish, yet still comfortable and relaxed. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Portuguese sausage, and it was delicious. The egg and sausage came on grilled focaccia instead of an English muffin, which gave me pause at first, but I'm glad I ordered it -- the focaccia might actually be an improvement. My partner went with the "Loco Your Way" featuring fried chicken and coconut curry. He loved it, though he said it reminded him more of a Thai lunch bowl than a traditional loco moco. Either way, he really enjoyed it. Our server was friendly and checked on us regularly, keeping our waters topped off and making sure everything was good. Overall, this place was a hit -- great food, nice people, and a cool spot to start the day in Koloa.

    Sunrise pork
    Bertrand L.

    Have been at the old Kiowa Roots multiple times in the past and this is the next gen after that one closed. Up to lunch now but the menu is diverse with many things on the old menu on the new one as well. Food quality is great but with only one waiter things can be very slow. We had a version of the eggs Benedict as well as the sunrise pork - scrumptious. If you liked Roots you'll be happy with B+F. Or even if you didn't this place is great.

    This was the second time I came for brunch at Break + Feast. I made a reservation online, but had to make changes and the staff was able to accommodate my requests. It's a casual breakfast/brunch place with a bunch of different options for mains. There's not much choices in terms of speciality coffees, but there are other places nearby. Our server was great and the food was delicious!

    Kalbi short rib bowl
    Joe M.

    Wow--blown away by the flavors here! We arrived around 2 PM for a late lunch, and the only other table was just finishing up. At that time, they were serving the Deep Roots menu, which had everything we wanted to try. The restaurant was clean, modern, and inviting. The fried pork skins and wings were tasty, but the real star was the kalbi--tender, deboned, and sliced for easy eating. The crispy pork belly bowl was decent, and the pulled pork was solid. Service was friendly, but food timing was odd--we waited about 45 minutes, and then everything, including the apps, came out at once. Still, the flavor made up for it, and I'd come back for that kalbi any day.

    Lilikoi mimosa light on the juice
    Sunshine S.

    At first looking at the menu the prices were a little shocking as it was more than we planned. The seating was community style or private table. They recommend reservations as it's on the smaller side. It wasn't overly loud but definitely little cold with the air above us. Our waitress was adorable and so helpful, funny and friendly. She definitely made the experience better and was informative and helpful. I ordered a lilikoi pancake for the table and there were zero regrets. The other reviews were not wrong. Also got a mimosa with lilikoi. For breakfast I went with the loco moco crispy ginger chicken with green coconut sauce and an egg and it was delicious. I ordered my egg over medium. I ate the entire thing it was so good. My friend has the pork special and took some home it was so good. My other friend had loco moco patty with peppercorn Demi glaze sauce and wished she had gotten the coconut. Other friend had the bimibop bowl and loved it. After all was said and done we agreed that it was well worth the money spent and we were happy and full! Good portions and friendly service

    Loco moco choices.
    Jamie A.

    The best brunch we had in Kauai. One of our local friends suggested it. We met the owner and she explained the menu was all the food she loved. I had the loco moco your way with the shaved prime rib and green chili sauce. It was amazing. So fresh and filling. If u go make sure u get a reservation because it is super busy!! We waited for 45 minutes. Totally worth it!

We sat on the patio by the pool and luckily the umbrella was large enough to block the sun! The food all tasted great. The crab dip with 6 or 8 pieces of toasted focaccia was high quality with real crab not surimi. We ordered the flatbread with chicken instead of pork and it was also very good with a nice crispy crust and moist chicken chunks. The wedge salad was a large piece with crisp bacon, candied pecans, grape tomato halves and a tasty dressing. It only needed some red onion to make it perfect. The calamari were crispy but the portion size was too small and the pieces of calamari were too small so the ratio of crust to fish was too high.

We were told that the pupi portions were large and could easily be shared. This was true and we split the calamari and my husband found it to be too salty. We both had the fresh catch. He had ahi tuna and I had mancha which I was told was like halibut. It was thinner than halibut and reminded me of mahi-mahi. It was suggested to have it pan seared to make sure it was not overcooked. Well, it was a bit fry from being overcooked. I had a double portion of green vegetables which turned out to be 4 pieces of asparagus. My husband's ahi was served a bit more than seared and rare. His sides were 2 pieces of asparagus and a piece of carrot. In essence we each had a small piece of fish and a small portion of vegetables. This was a mediocre meal in a beautiful setting. They need to step up their game.

We sat on the patio but they call the main dining room however it is outside. The host and the servers were very nice on both days helping us choose our dishes and beverages. The first night were shared the shrimp and unui (sp?) patties. They were tasty and slightly sweet but over-charred and the sauce served with them did not complement them very well. It needed a fresher sauce or something with a little kick The first night I Had the chicken Which is actually a tiny little bird I should've known from the name. - pouisson. It was well cooked, but there was very little meat on all of the bones. And also needed a sauce of some kind. The one baby bok choy was a nice addition. Two of the group had the fish and chips it was made with swordfish that night and was very tasty. However, the chips were slightly limp and not hot. No one wanted to return them, but they really were not very good. One of the other entrées was the veggie bowl with seared Aji tuna and it had quinoa at the bottom with lots of roasted beets and other vegetables. It was a very good dish. The second time I ordered the grilled seafood bowl because that night they were offering Oppa as the grilled fish on the kebabs/skewers that were served on top of the bowl the seafood was cooked, absolutely perfectly, and it had pickled cucumbers, pickled red onions, slightly cooked carrots, and then regular cucumbers on top of lightly dressed soba noodles. It was a very tasty and hearty bowl. We also ordered a kale, beet and blue cheese salad for the table, but what came out was their strange version of Caesar salad, which has chickpeas on it which of course we did not want. It took them quite a while to bring the kale and beet salad to the table, however when they did, it was quite tasty a combination I would not have thought of on my own The first night we ordered the passionfruit cheesecake which had a strange chocolate crust that was too thick and a very light topping of passionfruit. It was fine, but we would not order it again. The whole restaurant is a nice change from all of the really overpriced offerings in the area. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is professional and fun at the same time.

It was a delicious salad with beets, macadamia nuts, kale, and more- and the chicken was nice and moist.

It was time to wind down my first night here, but I also wanted to try one of only two bars/restaurants on the property during my limited time. Whenever I stayed at a hotel, I always wanted to try any onsite restaurants with hopes of getting a well-rounded experience. They offered breakfast (7am-11am), lunch (11am-5pm), dinner (5pm-9pm), and drinks (all day and a daily Happy Hour 2pm-3pm). They even delivered to your room if you were feeling lazy or not well. Would I order a themed cocktail such as a lava flow, or something else while I lazed steps away from Poipu Beach!? PURCHASE(S) Poipu Paniolo Cocktail ($18.00): Made with cranberry juice, lemon juice, ginger ale, simple syrup, Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey, this was an effervescent fruity sweet elixir with a kiss of harshness from the whiskey. It kind of fit the tropical scene perfectly. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=aKkFSUKzr9qUdfys24MTqQ Koholā Brewery Lahaina Haze NEIPA Beer 16floz Draft ($8.50): Hazy rich orange color, citrus hoppy aroma, light body, citrusy hoppy flavor, slight mouthfeel smooth finish, and minimal citrus hoppy aftertaste. An easy hazy to enjoy! SERVICE One busy friendly woman managed the drinking degenerates at this "late" time of night (everything closed early on Kaua'i) before they closed-up in about 30 minutes. I quickly scanned the drink menu for my first victim, ordered that, and once last-call was made, I placed a final order. Each time, I was able to watch my drinks be prepared and gracefully ready. Everything was straightforward, and she did a wonderful job filling the orders, cleaning her station, and getting us out of the bar - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I had no vehicle, so I simply walked from my room.
