It's sort of in the middle of an outdoor shopping plaza, and was pretty popular for brunch with a significant line waiting to order. I ended up getting the Riptide Benedict and cold brew, and it was amazing. Delicious kalua pork on the muffin with a perfectly cooked drizzly egg, accompanied with overnight oats. I really enjoyed it. I will say though it was a little bit tough eating with a little one on the benches. I didn't see any high chairs, and of course there were a bunch of chickens around the outdoor eating space. With a little one, just be ready for what you're in for with no indoor seating, but come for the food!

There are 2 picnic tables next to the shop, as well as a little step seating area nearby. Unfortunately the owner snapped at the front waitress due to a payment terminal issue, which dampened our experience - he should treat her better, it wasn't her fault!

The fruit was so fresh and flavorful -- easily one of the best fruit bowls I've ever had. The coffee was delicious too! The covered outdoor tables were a huge plus when the typical Kauai showers came through. It's such a cute, relaxing spot and definitely worth stopping at if you're in Lihue.

There's some seating inside, but there were no open seats. There were also tables outside which were available. There was a line to order food, but there were kiosks outside with no line. My friend and I shared the Kalua pork burrito and half size churro French toast. This was more than enough food for us. The Kalua pork burrito was massive. I think I would have liked it more if I could have added more ketchup to it, but they were nearly out of ketchup at the condiment station. The churro french toast lived up to the hype. The bread was light with the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. There was also a good amount of cinnamon sugar, but the best part was definitely the whipped cream. It was definitely on the sweet side, so I definitely recommend ordering something savory with it. I am so glad I got to try this place and will be a must visit on my future trips to Kauai.

We ordered a half order, and it was so massive that four people could easily share it. I'm so glad we didn't order the full! We also got the breakfast burrito, and it was another giant portion that was enough for all four of us to enjoy. Everything we ordered was delicious. The real chef's kiss, though, was the homemade pineapple hot sauce. It was unbelievably flavorful with the perfect balance of sweet and heat. I'm actually disappointed I didn't try the verde and extra hot versions too! To top it all off, the service was incredibly fast, especially considering how busy they were. Great food, generous portions, and excellent service--this place is an easy 10/10 and definitely worth a visit.

The storefront is on the smaller side with limited seating, but the quality of the food is absolutely worth it.
