When there's a line of locals besides tourists, must be good, right? That's E ala Cafe. Friendly, prompt service. I ordered the loaded avocado toast with bacon. It was AWESOME! On toasted sourdough bread with avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled red onions, and feta cheese and bacon added! So ono! My significant other had the Orlys Breakfast Croissant with spinach, tomato, scrambled eggs, ham, and havarti cheese. Both orders came with fresh dressed arugula to add to the dish or savor separately as a salad. Happy art on the walls, giving off local vibes. Will be back again! read more

So we came back the next day because, yes it was that good! And this time we brought my Mother in law and son with us. I got the breakfast wrap this time, my wife got the loaded avocado toast again, my son got the honey bee bagel, and my Mother in law got a special açaí bowl they had. Of course I got the dirty chai again, because it was that good. The staff was friendly as always and this place is just consistently busy, which I think says a lot about how good they are. Once again, all the food was wonderful. The honey bee bagel is wonderful for anyone looking for a sweet breakfast, like our 10 year old, and the breakfast wrap is just right for anyone looking for a savory breakfast. If you're visiting and want to find a fun and tasty morning coffee and light breakfast, E ala Cafe is the place to be. read more

The food was good. I had the lemon dill smoked salmon begal ($13.75). It was delicious. The salmon is in the cream cheese. The onions and arugula was fresh. I loved the lemon dressing they added to it. You get two pieces. It's fulfilling. I also had the iced honey macadamia latte ($6.50). It was good. I wish it had more of a nutty flavor but it was sweet. The service was friendly and quick. Even though they were busy I got my food quickly. I love the ambience of this place. A lot of locals were here eating. It's cute and cozy. FYI there's no bathroom in this business but they will give you a key to access one. read more

I ordered my food online and was unable to add meat to my burrito, which was disappointing. The burrito tasted fresh, though. The side of potatoes I ordered had little flavor. Also, they forgot my Banana Bread. Ambiance of this place was very cute & clean, though. Staff were friendly, too. read more

E ala Cafe - Breakfast Burrito - Cafes Near Me - Kapaʻa, Hawaii

Located in Kapaa kauai. It's simple light food and the were one of the only places open on a Sunday, so come early, as it gets busy. The menu was a little limited. The avocado toast was great! We also got the bagel, and no complaints. There were only about 7 or 8 tables. Don't come with large parties of more than 4. Enjoyed the experience. read more

We will forever be grateful to the kind people at E'ala Cafe. We were stuck on Kauai for Hurricane Lowell. No power, no food. They opened their cafe for free breakfast and fed everyone who walked through the door!!! Not only were they extremely generous, the food was AMAZING!!! We will be back E'ala Cafe!!! Thank you for feeding our family and reminding us that there are kind people willing to help others!!!! read more

Food was really good. The avocado toast was tasty and well presented. Interiors cute. Their protein shake was super thick- milkshake consistency;had to be eaten with a spoon. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and coffee. The space itself is really cute -- cozy and inviting, with a nice local feel. Unfortunately, the coffee was a letdown -- very watered down and lacking flavor. The food was okay, nothing special but not bad either, good size portions. Overall, it's a nice spot to sit for a bit, but with so many other coffee options around, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

The food is good but not the selection I was expecting from a cafe for breakfast. Also a little too pricey.

After reading the reviews, we needed to try this place. The loaded avocado toast was so delicious and definitely enough for two people. The breakfast burrito was also a great choice. We'd definitely eat here again. read more

Teddy bear latte and Avacado toast loaded were delicious. I wish they offered bigger sizes for drinks. Place is clean and service was fast.

This is a little gem in the heart of Kapa'a. You can't go wrong with any of their food. We got the deluxe avocado toast and the breakfast wrap with bacon and it was amazeballs. The place is small but cute, and the service is fast. I really enjoyed my coffee though, my oat milk latte definitely surpassed Starbucks for sure I hope you get a chance to support this amazing local Buisness!' read more

I was searching for breakfast establishments in Kapaa, Kauai and came across this little gem of a place. From the pics online it looked clean, contemporary & welcoming, and the menu had great breakfast options, smoothies & coffee drinks. Well.. when I walked In the café, it was delightful & visually appealing, even better than the pics online. I walked up to the counter, & was immediately greeted with Aloha..I had questions about the menu & coffee drinks & the young lady delivered exceptional customer service,explaining some options. Wow!! I was sold already on this place.. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a Hazelnut oatmeal iced latte. The items were served in a very timely manner. The burrito was warm, delicious!! loved the arugula salad with lemon vingerette as a perfect garnish, clean & also delicious, there was also a flavorful cup of salsa as well for dipping. I also thought it was really great that they pan seared(a bit) the flour tortilla, this gave it a nutty flavor & crunch to the breakfast burrito. I can't wait to go back with some friends & try other menu items. I was curious who the owners are, to find out the owners are Aloha Aina juice cafe in the town of Lihue, Kauai, I love this place!! hands down, this place has he best Acai bowll offerings on the island. To our local ohana & visitors these two cafes are to be your go to Cafes for for healthy, delightful & outstanding food options, smoothies & along with outstanding customer service. Im giving these two establishments a Three star Michelin rating *** not entirely sure if this is applicable to cafes, but it deserves that !! not just two thumbs up or highly rated. I'm a Kauai resident for 23 years and have been to many places & my career has been with corporate operations in Food & Beverage hospitality for 40 years. Im an expert at recognizing a great concept and dynamic customer service. ENJOY EVERYONE!! read more

E Ala Café is such a cozy, charming spot--it's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. The decor is beautiful and welcoming, with a relaxing vibe that's perfect for a slow morning or an afternoon pick-me-up. This is my second visit just this trip, and it somehow gets better every time! All the employees are so kind and happy with amazing service! The Chunky Munky açaí bowl is hands-down my favorite--so fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Pair it with their delicious coffee, and you've got the perfect combo. The quality, the atmosphere, and the friendly vibe all make E Ala Café a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back--and recommending it to everyone I know! read more
