The best part of this place is incredible views of ocean and ka Aapli beach entrance right from the cafe. It is part of private property and the parking is validated inside the resort for two hours. that's ample of time to get your lunch or brunch on. We found curbside and parking lot parking and display ticket for two hours. We waited on open patio the first time we went. The brunch was very good. It was usual veggie omelette and egg Benedict. We also tried decaf and coffee. The service is quick and staff is very nice. The second time e couldn't try lunch menus as we mistook some options from dinner menu. Definitely in the list to try dinner menu. We also walked the beach for 30 minutes post brunch. It was nice to have the parking available for 2 hrs. read more

I think more people should try this place. Our waiter was so nice talking to us about spearfishing and things about the island. Definitely a great place to try authentic food. I tried the coconut chicken. I thought it was good. read more

The service was bad. After being seated we waiting a long time to be waited on for waters. Server didn't seem to want to be here and was vaguely rude and not attentive. The food was good, not great. The view of the ocean was great. Server hovered while waiting for tip. It felt like we did something to personally offend her. Would not recommend. read more

Visiting from out of state and decided to try this spot as their website says it's "kaanapalis best kept secret" waiter was nice but food was terrible. Ordered the loco moco- burger was over done and definitely not a fresh patty (frozen pre made) the rice tasted like uncle Ben's instant rice... pancakes were nothing special basic and for "paradise" only a few pieces of "fresh fruit" tart strawberries and semi sweet pineapples. If you're visiting and looking for a bite to eat better to go elsewhere... read more

I've run by this place a dozen times on trips - it's always looked great. I took my Daughter here for Brunch on a Maui Layover...Outstanding. She had the Banana Bread French Toast; I had the Short Rib Loco Moco. Fast, friendly service with a great ambiance. Ask for and wait for a Table with a View - it's worth it to enjoy the morning...or any time of day! I look forward to going back when we pick up Maui trips again. read more

A solid 4!! We went there for breakfast and also tried a lunch there as we were staying nearby. The breakfast potatoes were yummy and the French toasts was good too. In the morning the back patio is open and nice and breezy with views of the ocean. The staff were always super nice and kind - offering recommendations when asked. My ceasar salad was good - nothing special but hit the spot. The burger was decent too. Fries were yummy and crispy! read more

We waited a while (~25min) to be seated for brunch even though there were lots of open tables, and when we sat, there were no utensils. The place didn't seem that busy so it seems service is just not the most efficient (I suppose we're on island time). The paradise pancakes were a bit disappointing- the description of the dish was much more exciting than the dish itself. The pancakes were very fluffy but plain, and almost a bit tough. But the hauipa syrup it comes with is very good. They were out of most fruits when we arrived so all I got on top were a few pieces of banana and strawberry. The avocado toast and banana bread were good. All in all it was ok. read more

Perfect place for a casual, local vibe with great service and really yummy food at reasonable prices. Taco Tuesday served up a perfectly cooked fish taco and a tender and juicy kalua pork taco. Fresh and crisp Caesar side salad. Cheeseburger was large and cooked medium as requested. The Ube cheesecake with Lilikoi drizzle was excellent! Rico is an experienced and helpful server. Mahalo! read more

The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was extremely friendly. We ended up going there three times because we couldn't beat the price or service. It's right on the beach so the ambiance was great! read more

We like to go to this simple little restaurant, this time for lunch. We have gone for dinner too, a couple times... great sunset location with a full bar and patio dining. I had the coconut margarita, so good, I ordered another for the beach! The bar tender was very friendly and had a whole drinking possee on the other side of the bar. I had fish tacos and my husband had a burger! read more

The ambiance here was lovely and the staff were incredibly kind. The drinks were great - I had a coconut margarita and my partner got a paradise punch. The paradise punch was a bit more tart than sweet, but we enjoyed it. I got the fish and chips which was good, bur not especially amazing. The fries however were seriously some of the best fries I've had. My partner got the fish tacos which were really amazing though! All in all, good dinner spot! read more

I took my dad here for his birthday on Saturday and it was delicious! We came at the right time too and got a great table outside with ocean views. The Seared Local Ahi Steak and Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi were just amazing. We highly recommend this place if you're visiting! read more

Lovely outdoor dining. We got a great table with a beautiful view. Try the banana bread - fresh out of the oven and just the right size and amount of sweet. I had avocado toast and the rest of the table had eggs/potato/sausage plate, short rib and an omelette with lots of meat. Service was good. read more

Food was delicious with generous portion sized meals. So flavorful and presentation shows they care to take the time. Party of 8 no problem being seated, although it was early and not very busy. It's tucked away in resort area, but worth the find. In addition to omelet and pancakes also had Bloody Mary, ask for spicy read more

This was a short walk from the hotel we stayed at (Royal Lahaina). We were welcomed warmly and seated immediately. They don't have too many options for dinner, but it was okay! We started off with an appetizer of ahi poke nachos. It tasted amazing, definitely something to order again. We ordered fish and chips, and also a loco moco. Fish and chips tasted great. The mahi mahi was super good and it was fried perfectly! I didn't love the loco moco too much. I thought the gravy was really thick, and was also a bit salty. Employees are very kind and attentive. read more

Two eggs, rice, gravy and protein. Delicious! The traditional loco moco with wagyu hamburger was tempting but the short rib was definitely the right choice. At 9:30am there was zero wait, the service was friendly. read more

Breakfast basics. On first visit pancakes were huge but dry and didn't have much flavor. Crab cakes were pretty good could've been seared a bit longer as the filling was a bit underdone imo. Mai tai was awesome with nice rum topper. Service met the needs. Relaxing beautiful ocean views. Located on resort but accessible by public boardwalk along the ocean. Enjoyed my walk and went twice. 2nd visit omelette was good, too many onions for me. Fruit plate simple but satisfying. Mai tai this time around was mainly juice thin topper of rum. read more

Good a perfect place to start your day while in Maui. Our waitress was from Georgia and she couldn't have been nicer. Food was was amazing and the view was perfect read more

Great breakfasts and served hot! My favorite was the eggs, bacon and toast because they cooked it perfectly. Lastly, the service is quick and the waitresses are SPECTACULAR AND SUPER FRIENDLY! The kitchen staff brings the breakfast plates to your table if the waitresses are busy which is ABOVE AND BEYOND, obviously speaks to the fact that they know it gets cold easily and when it's ready, they walk it right out to your table. Beautiful water view. You can go outside an take photos and the waitresses shoo the birds away from your table while you do it, bunch is another super great thing about this restaurant! read more

We went back here for a 2nd visit during our trip. The short rib loco moco is a legendary dish! This is a well executed, elevated dish. Definitely a 5 star 4 $$$$ meal at a $$ price.

We were looking for a good breakfast spot and this joint as recommended to us by one of the waitresses at The Plantation House. We split the paradise pancakes and I would highly recommend them.

Actually not bad at all. Gazebo was an hour wait so we decided to try this place out. A little confusing trying find the place. Need to get parking permits. That is a little annoying but worth it. Finally got to Cafe. No wait The food was good. I had an omelette with the works and it was big and filling. Good taste and the right combination of flavors and consistency. We had a Bloody Mary that was excellent. Their service was prompt and consistent. I would definitely go again when Gazebo is really crowded read more

Instead of going to whalers mall or Dukes (which we enjoyed), we decided to try out Castaway Cafe because it was closer to our resort. It was a great decision! We started with the Wisconsin cheese curds because we are from Wisconsin. They were great and the portion was huge! My cheeseburger was very good. The ambiance and service were also great! We will return! read more

We were in Maui for a week last month and went to Castaway Cafe twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The food was delicious, reasonably priced for Maui, the view was fabulous but most of all the service was spot on!! My only regret is that we didn't try it for breakfast. read more

Tucked away in between resorts, Castaway Cafe is a quiet little spot with a great view of the ocean. Nice selection of food.
