Grandma's Coffee House is one of my favorite spots in Kula! I usually will let my friends and even visitors know about this place. It's a cozy comfort spot that hits time and time again. You enjoy the cool crisp country air and beautiful views of my home, South Maui and Lanai. But to be honest, there was something about this visit that was slightly off or else I'd rate it the highest. Was it the front service not being the most friendly as usual? Maybe waiting a bit longer for my food? Maybe my Meatloaf was a bit crumbly and hard? Maybe it's getting the last piece of my favorite Dream cake and it tasting a little different? My conclusion was it was a mixture of all. My friends shared their smash burger which was delicious but they did notice a smaller amount of chips. I probably counted at least 8 or a little less smaller pieces of chips and it included a dill pickle on the side. I noticed the couple who ordered after us got their food before my Meatloaf came out. At that point, I figured maybe they were still making it or getting it out of the oven and giving it a bit more TLC. Once I got it, the meatloaf looked like smaller pieces with one piece of the top having a little bit of ketchup. The gravy was pretty good, thick with mushrooms and onions. And the Mac Salad had a dusting of Paprika and tasted fresh with carrots throughout. Now on to my ULTIMATE favorite cake, their dream cake with banana and pineapple and cream cheese frosting. I was told it was the last piece but there was something about it that didn't hit the same way. I don't remember it having macadamia nuts (maybe it had smaller pieces?) and tasted a few, it wasn't bad but it was a little surprising. Maybe the cake batter along with the banana/pineapple ratio was not the same per usual. Cream cheese also didn't fully taste the same. Again, not bad but not similar to what I remember it tasting. I did buy a Banana Bread loaf with Chocolate Chip. It felt like out of the fridge when I bought it but when I went home, it tasted delicious with lots of banana pieces throughout and maybe even some shredded coconut too. That's a must buy. They have a selection of merchandise and local fruit butters/jams, coffee, and honey for sale too. I wish I could rank it higher but it didn't hit the way it does and maybe it was different cooks or bakers on that day but...I still do love Grandma's nonetheless and I'm all about supporting small local business! read more

Tell me you don't want me to be here without actually saying, "I don't want you here." We've been coming to Grandmas for over 10 years, and it's always been one of those comfy, cozy places that just feels good. This visit felt really different. Today we brought family visiting from off-island after a walk on Thompson Road. We decided to stay and dine in instead of taking it to go. Looking back... maybe takeout would've been the better option. Ugh. I honestly hate writing this. The only reason I am is because I'm hoping someone from the Grandmas team reads this and actually cares enough to make some changes. If you don't know, you can't grow. Today our experience looked like this: * Watching several people get served after us even though we ordered first. Waiting for almost 30 minutes. * Our order getting mixed up and handed to the wrong person * Confusion about what muffins were available... okay fine, I'll take a blueberry muffin. Then halfway through eating it, I found a hair baked into it * Ordering potatoes without onions because of an allergy, having it made wrong twice, and needing it redone * Noticing the restaurant itself looked like it could use a deep cleaning, including ceiling fans with layers of dust And maybe this was just an off day, but the staff vibe felt... off too. Disconnected. Kind of cliquey. Like everyone seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves than serving guests. The warm, welcoming feeling Grandmas always had just didn't feel like it was there today. As a customer, I honestly felt like I was intruding or inconveniencing the staff just by being there, and that's a really strange feeling in a place we've loved for so long. That's honestly the part that made me the most disappointed. We've loved Grandmas for years, which is why this was tough. After reading several other reviews, it seems others may have had similar experiences too. I really hope things improve and staff morale lifts, because as customers, we feel it. Mahalo for reading. I truly hope this helps and leads to positive changes. read more

Food ** Ambiance **** Service *** My Bullseye has overcooked spam, mushy rice and very little corned beef hash. Not anything like I had the last time I was there a couple of years ago. My friend's Upcountry Omelet looked tasty. read more

This is a MUST try brunch restaurant to try in Maui, HI! My husband is from the island and has taken me/us to eat here every time we visit. It's local inspired brunch. There are so many delicious options and specials. I usually order something sweet and something savory. This place gets so busy and service is still very prompt and staff is so kind. This particular visit I ordered the Portuguese sausage breakfast plate (includes rice and egg). I also ordered the coconut French toast, and my daughter ordered the bullseye breakfast. Everything was so delicious! Highly recommend! The ambiance is so welcoming and full of Aloha! read more

I'm absolute sucker for diners and this so far is my favorite. Grandma's coffee house is a perfect name, I felt like I was in my grandma's house. The place was warm, very well decorated and had merch for sale. The staff were friendly and helpful, I ordered a loco moco, my wife got the meat loaf loco moco. My kids got breakfast sandwiches and French toast. WOW, EVERYTHING was so well cooked. I cannot remember having French toast that tasted SO good without syrup or anything. The sandwiches were great, eggs not overcooked, cheese melted, bacon cooked well, not soggy. Can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped at this place for brunch after watching the sunrise at Haleakalā. It seems like a popular spot with locals. They serve local-style comfort food. Food was solid. I liked how the egg benedicts was served on a cornbread waffle. Excellent views. There are only a couple of parking spots in the front. You order at the counter and then pick a table to sit at. Cash only. There's no restroom in the restaurant, but there is a public park nearby. read more

If you're cruising upcountry Maui, you have to stop at Grandma's Coffee House. This cozy little green building has been serving fresh Maui coffee and ono food for generations - and it's such a vibe. Here's what we ordered: Special Weekend Eggs Benedict - served on cornbread toast, topped with a lemon hollandaise, green onions, paprika, and (yes!) crispy bacon.Bullseye Plate - corned beef + spam, sunny-side-up eggs, on toast with a ketchup drizzle. Total comfort food! Iced latte to keep it all going.The inside feels like visiting tutu's house -- wood tables, local art on the walls, and fresh flowers everywhere. Perfect stop after a Haleakalā sunrise or exploring Upcountry. Kula, MauiRating: 5/5Pros: Awesome food, live entertainment. Cons: Gets busy, hardly any seats. Horrible parking.

Yes, another historical business in Kula. Fresh baked goods, tasty menu items, souvenirs, well crafted bevs, fresh juices, ample seating indoors and coveted seating out in the lush lanai.

I had a delicious breakfast croissant with perfectly cooked and crispy bacon! We also got a yummy chocolate chip pumpkin bread! This place was very nice after the sunrise hike on Haleakalā. My friend got the hash loco and the hash wasn't cooked or seared, so it was the only not so good thing from there that I'd stay away from. The coffee was decent. Recommend the croissant for sure!! read more

We came to Grandma's Coffee House after reading about this mom and pop spot on several travel blogs. The Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict was one of my favorite meals during our time on Maui. The citrus hollandaise complemented all the other flavor elements of the dish perfectly. We shared this dish as we just needed a small lunch before hiking Thompson Road and it was a perfect portion. We came 30 minutes before closing and sat on the patio with beautiful views and enjoyed visits from little birds looking for crumbs. It definitely seems like a popular spot for locals and tourists, for good reason. The Eggs Benedict is only available on Saturday & Sunday so if you're traveling, try to plan to visit on one of those days! read more

We have been going here for years and it has remained consistent over time. The only difference is there are more people these days. I remember going here years ago when it was a lot slower. Still definitely worth the wait. On our last visit i ordered the chili cheese omelette with white rice and my other half had the bullseye that has white rice , spam, corned beef hash and eggs over easy. The service is good and fast for a small kitchen and the steady pace of people coming in they do a good job. This is one of the few places that remind me of what Maui used to be like and they have good food and good prices and it's still a locally owned business. I enjoy sitting out on tha patio and having breakfast and now they have music on some days. Definitely recommend stoping by if you are in the area. Even just to get some coffee and a pastry or cookies. read more

One of our favorite local breakfast places in Upcountry Maui. We like the Bullseye Breakfast. It comes with Spam but we order with bacon instead. It's shareable for those who don't eat big breakfast. We usually get one of the bakery pastries too. There are plenty of other options on the menu. They have good mocha here. Service is good. They are nice and friendly. You can sit indoors or outdoors. There is a small view of the ocean from one of the tables. Recommend if you are in Kula. They do not have a restroom. You have to go at the park nearby so use before after. read more

Quaint little house turned into a small breakfast and lunch spot.

I absolutely loved this place. We came down from Haleakala after watching the sunrise, and I was in desperate need of a coffee. Grandma's is right off the main road in Kula and although is small, there is also an outdoor area where you can eat. The sounds of roosters crowing... even some live music outside... it was all great. The food was also very good. They have a variety of baked goods behind the counter and plenty of hot options. I kept it simple, with eggs, sausage and toast and it was very good. Friendly staff and a great way to start your day. read more

Finally made it to Grandma's Coffee House for the first time with my neighbor, and it was such a treat! The Upcountry atmosphere is so relaxing and authentic. We loved the views and the cozy, historic feel of the place. It's definitely a new favorite spot for a morning catch-up. Highly recommend the trip up the mountain!" read more

They serve locals before tourists. Fact. For 45 minutes after ordering a sandwich, I watched several locals (easy assumption) order, get their sandwiches and leave before I even asked about mine. Myself and another guy it was happening to noticed and talked about it. I waited another 10-15 minutes, asked again, then ended up just leaving. Wasted my time and money. I always tip generously at local places too, like $20 on just a sandwich. Sad to give this review, because the baked goods are 8/10 really decent. No restroom, FYI. read more

If you find yourself up country, definitely a great place to stop by for a treat! This place has such a great vibe and warm and friendly staff. It'll be worth it even if it's a little out of the way.

If you're ever in Maui and take an early morning drive up to Haleakala... definitely stop here for breakfast on the way down. It literally feels like you're eating on Grandma's patio! Excellent view, great music, Ono grinds! Taste like home. Service was quick and easy. You get in line, order, and sit out on the patio and they bring you your food. This was one of the most memorable places I've at in Maui. Comfort food at its finest. Everything was delicious and fresh!!!! Broke da' mouth for sure!!! read more

If you have all day to wait, this is the place for you. It is unbelievable that they have no pride in their work and it is evident in their mannerisms and service. I would have loved to give an awesome review on a locally owned place but they fell extremely short. The cashiers were both slow and confused. Took our order wrong. We waited 1 entire hour for our food, and we are still waiting. We had to constantly remind them again and again about our food. They would walk around and auction food off. The only thing that was good was the pumpkin cheesecake. I think what upset me the most is that their own workers/owners were making food for themselves (same food items as on the menu), and bring it out and eat it. So they could make the effort, but just didn't. Will never come back, and could never recommend. lol, honestly, they should let me use their bathroom since it's taking this long. They do not have public restrooms. read more

okay so all the times i've came here, even if there's not that many customers, the food takes forever (at least 30-40 minutes) i ordered the keokea omelette: 8/10 & combo special 7/10, bacon is a little greasy. i've never tried them, but i know they have a bunch of really good baked goods. so, if you're not in a hurry & want good food, then definitely come here for the friendly staff and nice seating area (shaded & nice view) read more

This little hole-in-the-wall is worth the drive. Lots of food choices from meat to vegetarian. Coffee , from what I understand, is grown there and dried and made into coffee. It was smooth and low acidity. Pastries were good...and the banana bread with frosting was heavenly! My husband had the upcountry omelette and it was gone in no time. The sourdough bread has great flavor and that slightly "tough to tear" texture that added to its deliciousness. I had the veggie bagel sandwich. The cream cheese was oozing out of both ends and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The team working was very friendly and helpful to us in making choices from so many options. We will be returning here for sure...probably for the second time on this trip! read more

Friendly service and good food. The portions are generous. The kalua pig eggs benedict was delicious with the roasted potatoes. The coconut bread pudding was warmed if you eat there. The bullseye must have been good since no leftovers. The locomoco the meat was tough I was told. They are known for coffee cake but they did not have any when we were there. Coffees were good. Nice and smooth. There was a man setting up his instruments to play but did not play while we were there he was just talking story with other people so no comment about music. Bathrooms at the park. Limited parking in front and street parking. read more

Grandma's is one of the best ways to start off your day on Maui. In the cold morning air in December, the patio is a bit chilly, so bring your jacket so you can enjoy the view and the sunshine. Make sure you grab a menu when you get in line because there are so many options to choose from and it may take you the whole wait in line to decide, as there are even more specials to choose from the boards at the front. Although slightly overrun by tourists now, the food is still ono and service is wonderful. The only bathrooms are at a park up the road, so get ready for a little walk (or drive) if you need to use it. read more

We missed grabbing sweets like banana bread this time but highly recommend! I saw someone leave with a veggie bagel and almost went back in for a second breakfast! This place gets busy in bursts so be patient and the restrooms are a big walk or short drive away at the local park. It's all worth it! read more

Local Coffee Shop - Service was not good at all, the servers (literal children) did nothing but goof off and curse loudly, drinks were forgotten until meal was brought out we had to remind them - mind you we got 3 drinks and one of them was a water and the food itself honestly not at all that great either honestly you'd be better off going to McDonalds. The pancakes were insanely dry with no syrup in sight or offered. The ambiance seems like it would be nice but again the people were not friendly. As someone who has been working in Customer Service for 6 years they definitely could use more training or maybe just don't hire children. read more

We chose to try this spot out after experiencing the sunrise at Haleakalā. Menu was decent and a little pricier than I expected. Parking is limited out front and along the streets. The ambience is cute and homey - there's both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was... hit or miss. A couple of them were nice, but one was small kine rude. Ordering is not efficient. They took our order, then took their time making our drink, then did the transaction (CASH ONLY), then *lastly* sent the order back to be made. It took like 10mins for the entire process. Thennnnn, we had to wait for our food. We ordered: + Loco Moco + Half Order French Toast + Walnut Banana Bread + Cappuccino All items were pretty good. We sat outside in the corner which had a cute view. My other gripe is that... they have NO BATHROOMS. I'm currently 8+months and expecting... and the waitress told me that it's 5-10minute walk and *up a hill* to the nearest restroom... at a nearby park. That is ridiculous... and there was absolutely no signage that indicated that beforehand. Customers have no way of washing their hands or relieving themselves. I made a mental note... that I most likely wouldn't return and would not recommend to others who asked about breakfast after sunrise. I mean, the food was good... but all the other stuff made it not worth it. Yelp 2023 Challenge: 02/30 read more
