The staff here are amazing! Remembering our names after visiting only once. The fried rice and banana bread are soooo good. Must stop by for a great breakfast read more

Fantastic!!!!!! Drove by and saw the sign. Turned around and ordered. I was wanting Loco moco. I let the very friendly lady at the register pick my options. ( fried rice, grilled onions, mushrooms) I picked egg over easy. This was the best Loco moco I have ever had. The gravy was tasty and tied everything together. "Delicious" !!!! When we come back this will be a must have. Wife ordered Belgium waffles with blueberries. Our little girl ordered waffles with blueberries. Nice little patio to eat at. Great find. read more

Da Reef Cafe - Loco moco. - Waffles Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Sisters and I vacayed on Kauai a couple of weeks back. During one of our leisurely day of exploring, we wanted breakfast. For a more local like experience, I searched for ube and ube waffle came up from the Da Reef Cafe. Perfect as it was in our way to the north side of the island. It was a rainy morning and we were lucky to grab the last spot. Customer service was so sweet. Love the ladies here. And so very helpful. Food delicious, especially the ube waffle. Fried was ono. Omelettes were good. And the best part, free live music. I guess. The musician in t-shirt, shirts and slippahs had a bar seat waiting for him right at the counter and he sat there and happily shared his talent with all the diners. And it was raining. Nice that the umbrellas were big enough to cover the four of us on the only outdoor patio dining. For sure I would come back. read more

Da Reef Cafe is an order and takeout eatery. The ambiance is a grab and go. There is only outdoor seating. The service is very good, and the aunty taking the order is very nice and friendly. She makes you feel like you're at her home. The breakfast items we selected were excellent. Everything was prepared and cooked to perfection. Not a single item was overcooked. For the Breakfast Bento, the Portuguese sausage was slightly crisp on the outside, and very tender throughout. The scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy. The fried rice was tasty and flavorful. I really enjoyed this selection. The Açaí breakfast bowl was very refreshing with the various textures of crunch, creaminess, and fruit flavors. A very delicious and healthy breakfast. The corned beef omelette was the special for the day. The corned beef was NOT canned, but made with real corned beef and onions. Very delicious. Every item we ordered tasted great. The only comment that we had was with the Breakfast Bento. Even though the food was excellent, the quantity you get for the price did not match. The bento is small, and the price should match the quantity. If the items were put on a plate as in a restaurant, you would able to see the difference. That said, I would still recommend giving Da Reef Cafe a visit for breakfast. The service is great and aunty will make you feel at home. read more

Da Reef Cafe - Loco Moco with Fried Rice - Waffles Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Very good food but very small portions. I got a BLT with potatoes (actually just cut up fries) and an acai bowl. Both yummy but I wasn't even full after $30ish and eating them both. Also I paid a $1 extra for a 'scoop' of peanut butter on my bowl but it was actually a light peanut butter drizzle, a bit stingy. We also got their special- biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs. Again very good but tiny. Actually not even biscuitS and gravy because it was only 1 biscuit cut in half. Also drip coffee was $4.50 what a rip off. Cute outside eating area- shady and nice but keep in mind probably not the best if its raining. read more

The best banana bread from her family recipe. Very gracious, welcoming place with a good menu. The omelet I had was very delicious.

Quick service spot with local favorites. Ube waffles were a must! Rice and spam were delicious as well as the French toast. My only negative was the cost was high for a quick service restaurant with outdoor self seating. read more

The staff handled our large group so efficiently with getting all of our orders in quickly and providing the best customer service the entire time. Everyone was so kind, organized, and attentive. On top of that, the food was delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well worth it. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! read more

First time eating here, nice outdoor seating, clean. Order at counter, staff very friendly and explained specials. Quick service, food came out hot and large portion (loco moco with mushrooms and onions) We have been on the hunt for the best on Kauai and so far Daddy O's is the best loco moco. This place is 2nd and Kountry Kitchen 3rd. Pricing was fair. read more

Came here and tried the loco moco. Very good. Watch out for the roosters and hens. They'll try to take away your food. Food and service was great. read more

Great local place. You order at the window to go or eat it on their street side patio. The food was excellent. Like every good place in Hawaii, nothing is cheap. Breakfast for two with tip was $55.00. Same breakfast back in Kansas would be half that. read more

Nice little cafe, good spot to stop at for a yummy brekky! Good variety of choices on the menu. Good people too.

If I could give more stars I would. Family owned business with the friendliest service. We went back multiple times just because the food was delicious, reasonably priced and fresh. They have the best homemade bread. There are tables up front with umbrellas for a nice and filling breakfast. They even remembered our names when we came back. Just a relaxing atmosphere. Great way to start the day. read more

Da Reef Cafe - Loco moco - Waffles Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

This place is basically a walk up window with some patio tables. Don't let the sketchy look fool you, it's a better breakfast than you'll get at the place across the street that has long, long lines. The biscuit gravy was light, very tasty, with sausage with a hint of sage. The bacon was crisp and light. Some people complained the portions were small. My wife and I shared a plate and we were fine. But we are also the kind of people who don't supersize a double cheeseburger meal, so if stuffing yourself is more important than quality, you should find an IHOP cause Da Reefs prices are comparable to everywhere else on the island: expensive! read more

Local Aloha! From the counter to the cook, nice people selling nice food. Nice shady open seating to enjoy. We got the Benedict and Ube waffle. The waffle was really good, sweet but not over done with nice toasted coconut on top. The Benedict sauce doesent taste like it's from a packet im gonna guess they make it. The eggs were poached perfectly and the fried rice i got with it was yummy and not over oily. Check out da reef read more

The food is soooo good here, we got Portuguese sausage English muffins and I could eat so many of these. Ana is sooo sweet and delightful!!! What a joy. Thank you guys for such a good experience!! read more

Best breakfast we had in Kaua'i. Local and family owned with great staff. The Portuguese sausage is amazing and they have a delicious açaí bowl.

The vibe is nice too on the patio with some outdoor seating in the shade. read more

Great food. My family and I shared the ube, coconut, and Belgian waffles and they were all delicious. All around our fav was the ube waffles. It wasn't too sweet, but satisfied our sweet cravings. We also had the loco moco and vege eggs Benedict. Both equally tasty. It's not a full service restaurant, but the counter servers are friendly. There's a good amount tables and chairs for dining in, and vibes are chill. read more
