We love Home Maid, and visit multiple times every time we're on Maui. The owners, who will be the ones serving you, are incredibly hard working. And kind & polite! Keep in mind that they are TWO people and are making everything to order. If you want something faster, go out, turn right, then left, and find McDonald's. The malasadas are delicious, fresh, and hot. read more

This little hole in the wall joint is a great place for fresh malasadas, cooked to order. Choice of plain or vanilla cream filled. Three minimum per ordered required. The malasadas are served hot and the vanilla cream is delicious, just be careful when biting into one as the hot vanilla cream will squirt out. This husband and wife serves up a great breakfast menu. The woman is always running around to take care of her customers. This little cafe is definitely a local place, prices definitely reflect a more reasonable tone with a variety of breakfast items including loco moco. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They open at 6:30 am and it can get busy fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were happy to find this little gem. read more

Having seen the reviews for the malasadas we needed to come and try these. It was a couple of hours to closing so I hoped they hadn't run out. When asked by the grumpy owner how many I wanted, I said two and she said, they don't sell two and pointed at a sign. I glanced quickly and said, I needed to buy a dozen? No is all she said. Okay, it's minimum of three. Told it would take 10 minutes which was fine since they are made to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a throwback to better days based on the design of the menu board.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When our order came out, I saw auntie throw a spoonful of sugar in the bag. Nice! The order is double bagged to soak up the oil. Gotta rate these as a 3. A bit chewy and not much sugar clingy for some reason. Hubby compared to the ones from Komoda that he prefers. The search goes on for the best malasada! read more

Home Maid Cafe - First time here - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

When in HI I gotta find a place that makes authentic loco mocos and I found it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Little hole in the wall that offers a cozy homey vibe from the aesthetics but also the style of cooking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you see locals dining here you know it's legit. French toast and loco mocos are a recipe for aloha vibes read more

Visiting Home Maid Cafe was a request by The Homie during our second visit to Maui (9/1/25). This is located in the Azeka Shopping Center in Kihei, across the parking lot from the post office. Service was very efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior gave a quasi cafe vibe, but we lucked out with table by the entrance to dine al fresco.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus: there was even a photogenic local chicken wandering nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Homie had local fare, chili rice. I opted with basic french toast. We shared the bag of malasadas. I'd give it a realistic 3 to 3.5, however, bumping it to a 4 since this couple was working pretty hard on Labor Day. read more

Down home diner that's open early with reasonably priced local favorites. Wish we'd know known about this before our last day on Maui! Breakfast looked good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wallpaper is adorable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff are nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We saw some regulars stop in to chat during our visit. That's a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stopped in to try our first malasadas in Hawaii. They made them fresh to order, and we enjoyed them. Not greasy or too heavy. read more

Anytime I go to Maui this is a must! The breakfast sandwiches are simple and delicious, the loco moco is so good with the egg cooked perfectly every time and of course the malasadas are not to be missed! Whether you decide to get them plain or cream filled they are always delicious! read more

Home Maid Cafe - Malasada - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

In Kihei and wanted Malasadas. Home Maid Cafe makes them and they are delicious. Must be ordered in a minimum of three but you will want more. They are crispy on the outside and perfectly done in the middle. You can have sugared or crème filled. The crème is a vanilla custard that feels decadent. read more

We come all the way from Seattle for their malasadas! Make sure and get the cream! Their breakfasts are great too. I love their Portuguese sausage. When I order my eggs I like them scrambled soft and they're one of the few restaurants who cooked them correctly. read more

We arrived in Maui early and were starving and my friend found this place. I don't understand why anyone would want to eat here. The service is nothing special and the place was not very clean and since the door was left wide open, flies were everywhere. We ordered the french toast which was so dry and there was no flavor. The butter and syrup did not help so we didn't bother finishing it. The Loco Moco was bland and even with salt it was just okay. We kept having to swat the flies from getting in our food. The coffee was decent which is why I am giving it 2 stars. read more

O.M.G Love this place, it's sooo delicious and simple. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the wallpaper and the friendly staff and the malasadas are sooooo hot and delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My son got a breakfast sandwich and we all begged for a bite and regretted not getting one of our own. It was our last stop before heading to the airport and we were not disappointed at all. read more

Super sad to say... food was terrible. Our favorite place around the corner was packed so we decided to try this place. The French toast was made with thin white bread. Yuk. Over easy eggs were well made. Omelette was made with something resembling velveeta cheese.. awful. The bacon was good! So was the coffee... for me. My husband didn't like it. The utensils were plastic!!! I guess they haven't heard about single use plastic impacting our oceans and rivers. The owners (I assumed ) are wonderful and nice with pleasant service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is outside dining (with paper and plastic) in a strip mall but anywhere in Maui is always better than anywhere not in Maui![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, we won't eat there again :( read more

I don't see how this place gets so many stars. The food was prepared ok but the portions were very small, they charge you for any extras, you will leave hungry. After ordering you have to get your own drinks, including coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were going to enjoy our breakfast there, all the tables were dirty with food on the floor except one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So we sat there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another bigger group came in after us, but the lady hadn't cleaned up anything so they chose to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady never even came and asked us how our food was. She made no effort to take care of the locals, so why would she take care of the tourists? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was served on paper plates, plastic forks, knives and paper cups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With so many great places to eat in Kihei, they should be stepping up their game and making it more attractive for customers. I definitely will not be returning for a meal there. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sweet little shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great homemade food. Understand that its a couple of people working. Menu is simple and to the point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place and gives you a hidden little breakfast joint to grab good eats and meet local people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Could not ask for more. read more

Not a very good place to eat, grumpy lady does not want to serve clients nicely or patiently.

Decent food...old school menu board. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All is served on disposable plates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We found it after driving to McDonald's (their lobby was closed) and needed something eat because we were so hungry. read more

Easy going spot to fill up before the beach. The hash browns are crispy! The coffee is hot and tasty. The pancakes are fluffy goodness. Don't skip the malasadas ( 3 per order) with sugar or creamed filled to choose from. read more

Good food at a decent price. I thought the malasadas were delicious. The lady behind the counter was very kind.

Food was good with nice service. Nothing fancy (which is what we want), they bring your food to you and you eat outside. Super casual. read more

After a disappointing day of malasada, my friend told me of this place. She went here the day before and hyped that this was the best malasada she eaten so far. I was pretty excited. We did a run and our destination was this place :) placing the order was straight forward and the malasada was fresh to order. They also came in plastic brown bags that you can shake the sugar to make sure it's even mixing, pretty authentic haha We got 2 plain one and 1 creamed filled. They were piping hot and soft and good. The cream filled was my favorite as the cream was still hot and smooth. You do have to order a minimum of 3. These aren't like typical malasada, they are more like yeast donuts. Oh and they are square shape! It wasn't the best malasada I had but still pretty good. There is a language barrier and the lady who takes the order is pretty blunt and direct. So fyi :) read more

Amazing good, fast service and great prices! Everything is cooked to order and it's so delicious!

A great local place for breakfast. The owners handmake and prepare all the food for you. Nothing super fancy, just good comfort breakfast. 1) ($6.75) 5/5: Breakfast Sandwich (Corn Beef Hash, Egg, Cheese, with mayo, mustard, on Wheat): Added some extra flavoring to the corn beef, the sandwich is actually more like a soft, fluffy hamburger bun. Not dense at all. The egg is fully encrusted around the bun. 2) ($6.75) 3/5: Breakfast Sandwich (Portuguese Sausage, Egg, Cheese, with mayo, mustard, on Wheat): The only complaint is that the PS is cut into 3 slices the short way and placed in a triangular placement on the bun/sandwich. Its a bit saltier then the Corn beef hash. 3) 5/5: 1 Pack (3x pcs) Malasadas w/ Custard inside. One of the best on the island. Hand made, and fried to order. These are not pre-made so expect to wait 10 mins. Well worth the wait. Soft crunch outside, but super moist and fluffy inside. Eat it while it is hot! Overall, a great place to enjoy a bite to eat in the morning. Total for 3x above items + Tax = $20.24 read more

Home Maid Cafe - (L-R): Portuguese Sausage Breakfast Sandwich. Corn Beef Hash Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Simple food that tastes great and excellent services. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mom and pop shop vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Go to breakfast joint.

This place can get VERY busy, with a line going out the door - and for good reason! Not only is the food delicious and freshly cooked, it's reasonably priced too! It is a mom and pop-style cafe, with only two people working to cook, take orders, and run them out/wipe down tables. I had an omelette with spam and hashbrowns, it completely hit the spot for a slightly late breakfast on our first day to the island. read more

Home Maid Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

This is a mom/pop style cafe. The food is good, consistent and reasonably priced. One person at the register and one cook. So please don't come here if you "have a flight to catch" and think your time is more important that everyone else who is waiting patiently. Best Malasadas ever! Big fan of their Loco Moco as well. read more

Mom and pop place that was ran, I assume, by the couple that own it. The wife, wasn't the most friendly, but in her defense- she was doing it all besides the actual cooking. This was our first breakfast on the island, but not our first choice. Where we wanted to eat, had a line to be seated. Food here was okay. Honestly there was nothing to brag about. I know food the island is a bit costly compared to the mainland, but for basic breakfast items like an omelette or your choice of eggs, meat, and rice be ready to spend at least $14 and keep in mind, portions are small. I say if you have the time to make breakfast, you're better off making it yourself. read more

Home Maid Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Leonard's Malasadas on Oahu is the standard by which I judge all malasadas. So I wasn't expecting a lot from here. This joint is decidedly local and tucked away in the corner of a nondescript strip mall. I ordered 4, 2 cream and 2 sugar. Surprisingly good but not Leonard's good. Don't expect friendly service but do expect loyal regulars, cheap food and above average malasadas. read more

Home Maid Cafe - It's not pretty but it's loved by the locals - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Awesome little cafe!!! This hidden gem in Wailea is great for a home cooked breakfast! The owner is sweet and attentive.

Ten years ago, pregnant with my first, we tried Home Maid Cafe. We loved it. Ten years later, we came back with our children, ordered what we loved; French Toast, Loco Moco and Malasadas. The French Toast was so good. Not soggy and so fragrant. Their Loco Moco was the best. The sauce was tasty and not too salty. Even my daughter who's not a meat and rice eater ate the entire thing. Their Malasadas were made to order. It was a nice sweet treat. The owners were wonderful. Super friendly. Their food was so good, we ended up going back two more times for more Loco Moco and Malasadas during our trip. read more

This is a small no frills cafe that is run by the owners. The prices are reasonable. We came here for the loco moco. It was a large serving and the burger was tender and the rice was cooked perfectly. I had the shoyu chicken and it fell off the bone. The food is served in to go boxes. I loved this place as we could take our leftovers back to the hotel. Definitely want to try the breakfast. read more
