Amazing breakfast... best one in a long time! Everything was great! Good service and cool ambiance. The green chile skillet was so tasty and we got a lilikoi pancake to share that is not to be missed. Too notch all around read more

A bit of a wait (to be expected) on a rainy morning. Hostess was pleasant and patient. Service started off a bit rough but our server perked up after a bit. Food was delicious and portions were ample size. This place has a cute and clean diner feel. We would go back. read more

Great food and good service. Unique dishes. Pork belly Benedict was fabulous! Only French press coffee but if you want something else you can get it at the shop downstairs and bring it with you. read more

Best restaurant for brunch, happy hour and dinner with friends and families. If you like good, quality food with a great atmosphere...definitely recommend coming here! This is a go to spot when visiting Kauia (south shore) in Koloa Town close to Poipu. Plus it's within a little shopping area with cute little stores, dessert spots and other casual dining options. We came here around happy hour and they had great curated cocktails. We ended up ordering the wedge salad and clams from the happy hour menu (only $10 each). Then I was craving Kalbi and it was perfectly marinated with so much flavor, came with rice and some grilled veggies. 10/10 for sure. We also ordered the wasabi pea crusted fish. Does not taste like wasabi at all ( a good thing) so don't let that throw you off from trying this one out. We'll be coming back to try their brunch menu and again for dinner during our trip! And the staff is super friendly and attentive. read more

On our first trip to Kauai, my wife, our baby, and I discovered what quickly became our favorite restaurant--not just on the island, but possibly in all of Hawaii. We were so hooked that we ate here three days in a row, sometimes even twice a day, trying different dishes each time. Despite being busy, the service was top-notch. We were seated quickly, given water right away, and our food arrived in perfect time. And the food? Absolutely incredible. The crispy fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had, the pork sandwich was perfection, and my wife couldn't get enough of her beef rice bowl. As for our son? He was obsessed with his banana pancake! If you're in Kauai, do yourself a favor and eat here. We can't recommend it enough! read more

Absolutely love this place. When family or friends come to Kauai to visit, this is one of the "must try" places I always bring them. Their pork belly eggs benedict is fabulous. Every single thing I've tried on their menu is fabulous and I'll keep going back. The meals are a little spendy, but not unreasonably so. As someone who eats out a lot here in Kauai, I'll say that their value for cost is excellent. They are equal in quality with Hukilau, La Spezia or the Tasting Room, but far less expensive. You get a filling meal in addition to it tasting so wonderful. One note: Get a reservation. Even at 8 or 9 on a Tuesday, there may be a line out the door. My ONLY complaint is that the last two times I've gone I've had to ask the staff to turn the music down. It was like a night club in there in both volume and music choice. Not what I was looking for at 8 am, and not in synch with their decor, vibe, or price point. read more

Great breakfast spot! Located up on the second floor of a market place. Make reservations bc it's very popular!! My son got the pancakes and bacon. Simple but good. I got the chimichurri egg and pork belly! Has a nice little spice to it. I think they rename it green eggs and ham lol! read more

I came in wanting to try their prime rib, when first served it was grilled The server said it was paniolo style/ cowboy style! I mentioned that they should make that notation on the menu or at least have the wait person advise the customer ahead of time. She took it back to the kitchen and after a few minutes delivered me a regular, as expected, cut of prime rib which was delicious. Along with a giant size baked potato Service was very good although it seemed like waiter was working the entire restaurant read more

Break + Feast is located on the second floor in a small shopping center. It opens at 8 AM, and when we arrived at 7:50am there was about two other parties waiting (they do take reservations). The service was very friendly from the host and wait staff. We were able to get a highchair for our baby, there were a couple of other small children dining here as well. FOOD: We ordered a few things to try, and everything was amazing! Green Egg & Pork Belly (5/5)- (Sliced adobo braised pork belly, chili vinaigrette, chimichurri tomatoes, roasted garlic, and onions, rice, green sunny side egg the green eggs and pork belly.) Who needs 'Green eggs and ham' when you have Green Eggs and Pork Belly! I loved the spin on this fun dish, it was flavorful and unique. I would have been open to a bigger portion of rice and another egg. Pineapple Pancake (5/5)- (pineapple, haupia pudding, toasted coconut, lime zest) A pineapple pancake in Hawaii is of course a must do. This pancake was good, but not overwhelmingly 'pineapple-e'. There were just some cut up pieces in the whipped cream. I enjoyed the little pieces of toasted coconut. Banana Bread Pudding (5/5)-(potato chip crunch, fresh bananas, warm nutella, creme anglaise, salted honey butter) The clear winner of the day! This says a lot about the dish since everything here was so delicious. There was a great mix of salty and sweet, crunchy and soft. This dish was definitely more like a dessert, so if you have a sweet tooth this is definitely your dish. I would come back just for this! 742 (5/5)- (Pau Mauai Vodka, brandy, coffee liqueur, coffee cube) A very creative and delicious coffee cocktail, perfect for brunch. The coffee cubes were a great touch. Mocktail menu was great as well. This restaurant will definitely be a must stop every time we visit Kauai! read more

4.5 experience. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because our waitress was extremely cold in a very rude in a weird way. Did not catch her name, but it was the only thing that hindered our experience. Everything else was WOW! A great fuel up breakfast before a day on the water. And located in such a darling part of town! Delicious delicious delicious read more

Located in the heart of the old Koloa town, break+feast is a must try for their breakfast and brunch! We made reservations ahead of time and I'm glad we did because it was quite busy. Free street parking and you walk up a flight of stairs to the restaurant. The ceilings makes the venue look small but very wide enough to see that's it's busy here. Our hostess and server were very kind. Our hostess gave us an option, whether to sit on a hightop table in a corner spot, or to sit in a booth, which was nice. We got the booth. We were first served with waters, and the utensils were already placed on the clean table. We also got one of their fun newspaper at the front with the hostess and it was a nice break from my phone as I was more interested in their cute crossword puzzle, along with their maze puzzle as well. the newspaper idea was definitely creative as you learn the history about break+feast and the owners of the restaurant, which helped to solve the crossword puzzle! There is also a dedicated drink menu if you wanted to have some alcohol for breakfast lol but instead I've got a Mocktail this time. Ha ha. Their spiced Lilikoi drink was pretty good that paired well with ginger beer. It was quite spicy, but it was a nice complement to , the food: egg/veggie scramble, eggs, Benedict, and the highlighted dish was there a lilikoi pancakes! The lilikoi pancakes were amazing!!! You don't even need extra syrup because of the lilikoi dressing was smothered on the pancakes. Our main breakfast dishes was great! We tanked everything haha. I had a really great breakfast experience here and i can't wait to come back here again!!! read more

On vacation, have eaten there twice in 2 days and planning to go once more this week! Everything we have had on the menu has been amazing. Best loco moco I've had on any of the islands. That and the pineapple fried rice were my two fav's so far. Super clean, staff was very attentive and service was exceptional. Would recommend to anyone! read more

This might be a bit bold of a statement to say since I only visited Kauai for 5 days but Break + Feast might be the best restaurant on the island! I was aware of this place as the owners' prior restaurant Kiawe Roots was highly recommended. We first came for dinner around 5 pm on a weekday. We didn't have reservations but got seated right away. We got clams for an appetizer and then the huli chicken and short rib for entrees. Everything was so delicious and flavorful, although a touch on the salty side so ordering a side of rice was pretty key. We liked dinner so much that we came for brunch a few days later! We weren't able to get reservations on short notice but were seated pretty quickly when we came at 8 am on a Sunday. We got the pork belly, loco moco, and a single lilikoi pancake to share. Everything was excellent but I think I liked the lilikoi pancake the most! Wished we could've tried the whole menu before going home but definitely if I visit Kauai again I will be back! read more

Love this breakfast place! Visited on a Wednesday morning and it was packed. They asked if we had any reservations, which we did not but they were able to seat us right away. We ordered the All About the Bennys and a stack of the Lilikoi pancake. I am a sucker for eggs benedict and the hollaindaise sauce was perfect. Not too bitter and was light and creamy. You have multiple options for this and we picked the brisket which mixed well with the eggs benedict. The Lilikoi pancakes were sweet with the pineapple sauce melted atop. Was too much for me, but this was the husband's favorite. For drinks, I ordered a small French Press and the Butterfly Lemonade. I was only able to finish half of the French Press myself, but the coffee was fine. The Butterfly Lemonade was sweet and loved the lavender water taste to the drink with a small hint of sour lemon.. Overall, we will definitely come back again. Whether it be again on this trip or another in the future. read more

This was our first time trying Break + Feast. It was busy, but we got a table right away. The space was bright, airy and so clean. Our server, Haiden, was great - super friendly and attentive and talked story with us for a while before we left. Now for the best part, the food! We got the Herb Shrimp Bowl, the burger, Two Eggs & What? and Pineapple fried rice. Everything was delish. It's so hard to please everyone in our group, but we all left happy and full. We are definitely coming back. read more

Outstanding local food. Efficient and friendly wait staff. Wonderful local menu. Best eating I've had in Hawaii so far

Where can you order Loco Moco with five different meats and three different sauces? Or for those unfamiliar with Hawaiian food, WTH is loco moco? New place in new shopping center one block from Big Save supermarket. We were there on our last Sunday at 8am. First in line, but those with reservations go first. 20 tables, but most of the two person tables are high stool tables. Cramped seating, cafeteria style seating very close together. Hope you like your neighbors. Service is slow even for laid back Kauai, with our meals not arriving until 830am. Wife's $21 green chili skillet comes with brisket, green chili, potatoes, onions, and a sunny side egg. Wife has lived in Santa Fe NM for 18 years and used to spicy hot green chili, but this one is mild by her standards. Not spicy, but tasty and flavorful, with excellent presentation. My $21 loco moco comes with two over easy eggs on top of a 8-ounce beef patty on top of rice, mushrooms, green onions, white onions in a spicy coconut sauce, which is absolutely outstanding in taste. I could lick the plate, but too many people looking. $3 for coffee -hey they have to make money somehow. Tried to make a reservation online, but their web site was nonresponsive. Good thing their food is better than their web software. read more

A RESERVATION MUST!!! If you're visiting Kaua'i at all, it's worth the trip to Koloa Town. Always a wait for walk-ins on the weekends, so be sure to make reservations ahead of time. For espresso martini lovers, the 742 is the drink! Coffee ice cubes and coconut cream make this drink unique and delicious. The pancakes are super dense, so don't be fooled by the options of one or two pancakes. Two will fill you up! Everything was so amazing, anything you order will blow your mind and taste buds. Loving the boho chic decor. On the second level of the Koloa Village shopping center. read more

The food was the star here. I had a hard time choosing what to try. I went with the beef dip. The meat was so flavorful with sautéed mushrooms and onions provolone and the best au jus. My husband had a burger which he said was fantastic as well. He chose the fried rice for a side. We added on some of the house made chips which were so perfectly seasoned, hot and crispy. I for sure want to go back next time out there. Service good, place super clean and aesthetically pleasing. read more

Amazing likikoi pancakes! Wonderful staff. And I love the French press coffee. Make sure you get a reservation in advance.

This new restaurant is the reincarnation of the beloved Kiawe Roots. Simple and unpretentious decor, fast, friendly service with wonderfully creative dishes made with fresh ingredients. We had delicious lilikoi pancakes and the crispy ginger chicken loco moco for breakfast. Returned for dinner and enjoyed the macadamia and gorgonzola stuffed bacon-wrapped dates; Fried brussels sprouts w/candied mac nuts, pickled beets, roasted garlic, and lilikoi honey vinaigrette; Sautéed opakapaka (red snapper fillet) w/coconut sauce, poi, lomi tomato, and gandule rice; Banana and nutella bread pudding served warm, a la mode optional. I could eat here every day. Reservations recommended for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. read more

Interesting and creative food on the island. We were seated immediately upon arrival for lunch on Friday. The ambiance is modern and tasteful. The French press coffee was very strong and tasty. Our waiter was kind enough to bring us ice so we could make iced coffee. Loved the taste of the Brussels and my skillet was good as well. The hash browns were crispy and the egg nicely cooked. We appreciated our waiter checking with us first to confirm we were ok with the spice of the jalapeños in the dish. read more

I am writing this review to disagree with some of the other reviews regarding race and service at Break + Feast. We ate here last night for our final meal before leaving the island today. I called an hour in advance and they accommodated our reservations at the last minute. We were greeted immediately upon arrival, sat promptly and our server Joey was excellent. The food was amazing, steak was so tender and tasty and the baked potato, smoked pasta and veggies enough to share with 2 people. The Huli Huli chicken was some of the best chicken I've tasted and was huge. My son's girlfriend has celiacs and they have plenty of options for her. We switched last minute from Lava to Break + Feast for our last meal and I'm so glad we did. I wanted more of last night island ambiance but at the end the quality of the food was more important. I know everyone's experiences are different but at no point did we ever feel singled out or discriminated against based on race. We are a biracial family, my husband is black and my kids are half black / Filipino. Not sure what happened with the other patrons and their reviews but our service and food was excellent (I also worked in the service industry). I am upset though because we didn't get a chance to visit them for brunch before we left! read more

But this time I had the Pork hash and fried rice and omg it was so so good !!!! This place is ALWAYS a must when visiting. read more

Kōloa has changed drastically, leaning more towards serving tourists rather than the locals that built this town over the last 150 years. Gone are the okazu-yas and plate lunch joints. Poke bowls? They're more like salads around these parts. Break+Feast comes now, a project of the Ruiz family that created the lovely Kiawe Roots. Local favorites seasoned with the Ruiz's experiences from traveling the world and showing off their heritage are wonderful. The loco moco with shaved prime rib is delicious. Ingredients are fresh and, when possible, local. Servers are friendly, speak well, and they add to a stylish yet casual ambiance. The space is on the small side (hey, real estate in Hawaii is a premium), so whatever the servers say can sound like an announcement for everyone. I hope this place stays. read more

First impressions are everything. Well this place missed the mark on the food and customer service. We were a family of three and we were seated at around 0930. Our order was taken by 0940...cool. Almost an hour later and our food hasn't arrived. However, two other parties (a party of 5 and a party of 3) were served before us.. really? Naturally, we ask our waiter, Joey, about our food and we're immediately met with aggression and we can't even get our concern out. He blames the kitchen and says it will be a few minutes. Keep in mind, during our hour wait, he never approached us with an update or anything. Magically our food comes out..COLD. The butter couldn't melt on my son's pancake. The bacon and 1 egg were cold/ rubbery. My husband's pigs in a blanket were luke warm and "crispy" potatoes were burnt. My dish, according to the owner, is what took so long (Ginger chicken loco moco) the chicken was hot, but it was on top of cold rice and coconut curry sauce. The over hard egg was cold and rubbery. We approach the yatch of an owner who was on the defense and saying the aesthetics of 2 families being served before ours was due to being understaffed then it changed to the chicken took time, but why couldn't my family be served before me instead of bringing their food out cold? I call bullshit. Your professionalism is probably why you're understaffed! In your words Happy New Year! read more

One of the top breakfast spots on the island. Had the liliokoi pancakes, green chili brisket hash, and brisket Benny. Pancakes texture was a little more on the crumble side but flavor was on point. Adding the liliokoi and what I think was a salty butter spread on top was a fantastic addition. The green chili hash was so flavorful, kind of lost out on the brisket flavor because of the potent green chili flavor, might rec another protein. The brisket Benny was excellent, hollandaise sauce had a little bite to it, brisket could still shine thru, all on focaccia bread which was delicious. Our server was awesome, gave us great recommendations. Ambiance was very relaxing; trendy little spot. Highly recommend read more

The food was delicious and service was as well. We shared a French dip and will return for other food as time allows.

Came in this morning close to opening time because we didn't have reservations. We were seated at a high top which was great with us! We were just grateful to have been accommodated. Aiden was so friendly and was really hustling with both the host stand and serving and checking folks out. My pork hash and fried rice was DELICIOUS. My husband loved the loco moco with shaved prime rib and peppercorn sauce. We shared a single lilikoi curd pancake. Also the small French press was perfect and plenty of coffee for us. I will say that during our meal I noticed a ton of people coming in without reservations. I think if you do come here without reservations be prepared to wait an hour or two. And don't take it out on the hosts. If you know you want to eat here I highly recommend making reservations. These guys are BOOKED and BUSY! Thanks for the delicious food and service, Aiden! read more
