Nice vibes just wouldn't get the kalua pork from here it just tastes like pulled pork with too much salt

Nice outdoor resturant. Nice option on the menu. Great Breakfast! Great service. We ordered the eggs Benedict We liked the 2 small pancakes and great fruit read more

Delicious Tropical Paradise smoothie!! Nice, shady areas to sit and enjoy your drink!

Such a hidden gem! I let my husband choose where to go for brunch after we did the sunrise over the clouds and he chose Island Fresh Cafe. I was driving so I went in blind. Didn't look at reviews or photos, we just went for it. The location is easy to find and we got parking no problem. The walkway and décor outside were beautiful and I just had this at home feeling. We sat at a nice big table by the tree and just felt at ease. Our waitress was friendly and kind. With how busy it was we didn't have to wait long to be seated or receive our meal. I got the Upcountry and my husband got the banana bread French toast. Both of our meals were delicious and fresh. We tried the salsa on the table. I think it was their homemade pineapple salsa. Honestly, I was hooked! It tasted so good and we loved it. We tried buying some to take home, but unfortunately they don't sell it. They do have a little gift shop with other items and fruit that you can purchase. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area and you definitely have to try their hot sauce! read more

In my experience, nearly all service in Hawaii was slow, but this one takes the cake. We waited about 45 minutes to be seated, despite that only 1/3 of the tables were occupied. Interesting seating system that's beyond my ability to understand. Even if the actual preparation of the food were slower, I'd prefer the opportunity to sit down. That being said, they've got loads of items on the menu that wonderfully highlight Hawaii's fresh fruit. Would definitely recommend any of their juices (particularly the coconut!) as well as the matcha smoothie bowl. Overall, it was good, but I'm not sure I'd say it was worth a 2+ hour endeavor. read more

Island Fresh Café - Matcha Smoothie Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

Paia, HI. This visit yielded a very average to below average experience. The lattes were weak. This was remedied by a purchase of a double shot of espresso that we added to our lattes. They were quite good after that. The avocado toast was good but nothing special. The paniolo omelette was very disappointing. It was supposed to have bacon in it. There was none. There was supposed to be Portuguese sausage in it. There was, sort of. It was finely chopped and a bit of it was cooked in with the eggs. Very little flavor emerged, not even garlic. Most of the flavor was egg and salt. The only actual internal ingredient in the fold was a slice of cheddar. I was able to make it more palatable by adding tomato's donated from Steph's avocado toast and dumping a bunch of hot sauce on it. The potato's on the side were the only thing acceptable this morning. Oh, and zero on the service, we had to order and pick up at the counter. Meh. read more

French toast - small portion with ok flavor. Loco moco - good option for this dish but not as good as other versions of this dish in other restaurants. Good shopping available for Hawaii related gifts - shirts, magnets and stickers etc. read more

So nice we went twice! Certainly a hidden gem and off the beaten path but worth the ride. Staff was super nice and relaxed. Food takes a bit of time but is great. The macadamia nut banana pancakes are perfection. Light fluffy and packed with nuts inside. Loco moco was a hit. Cute outdoor cafe read more

I was very excited to eat here as the reviews were very encouraging. It was not good at all. When you walk up, it's so cute but the service and food were not it. It took 15 minutes for them to take our order and it wasn't even busy. When we finally ordered, the food came out pretty quickly, but the food wasn't warm/hot at all. I ordered an upcountry with overhard eggs, Portuguese sausage and rice. The eggs were oily, the sausage was probably my favorite part of the meal but only 4 little pieces???, and the rice was cold and tasted day old. There were so many flies at our table - at one point there were ten! The cup we got with coffee had cracks and it looked as if it was never washed. I wouldn't recommend coming here.... Very sad to be writing this review! read more

Stopped by this brunch spot on our way to Twin Falls. Ordered a breakfast burrito to take on the road and it was the best decision we made that day. It was a greasy goodness of a burrito with egg, cheese, potatoes (you can choose rice if you want), and added a protein of wailua pork. It was very filling but messy because of all the grease. They opened the farm stand after we were there. People are kind and seating is outdoors if you wanted to eat there. read more

My family and I came here for the first time. I ordered the kalua pork sandwich, my mom got the banana bread french toast and chocolate nirvana smoothie, and my aunt got the BLT and some type of smoothie. I didn't like my kalua pork sandwich. The pork was bland and unseasoned. The pineapple slaw wasn't tasty, I wish it didn't have onions. I liked the french fries though. I tried the banana bread french toast which was really good. I'd recommend it to people. My mom's chocolate nirvana smoothie was watery and lacked flavor. We have made much better banana, peanut butter, and chocolate smoothies at home. My aunt seemed to enjoy her food. I didn't ask about or try anything of hers. There were A TON of flies even though we were seated inside the room. They have spinning devices they put on the table that barely help. The service was ok. She didn't really check on us that often, but she was nice. We were sitting for a while waiting for the bill when we eventually asked and she said we need to walk up to the counter. I wouldn't come here again or recommend it to anyone. The food is edible, but there are much better restaurants elsewhere. read more

Aaaaammmaaaazing! We needed brunch after landing in Maui and man, are we glad we chose Island Fresh! The banana bread french toast was out of this world! The Paniolo was just as delicious! The staff was very nice and the outdoor breeze was a perfect welcoming to paradise. Highly recommend this cafe! (I wish we had photos but we the food was too good and we ate it too quickly.) Fresh coconut drink and fresh POG was also superb! read more

We are here for breakfast on our last day on the island, really cute place with adorable music and vibes, super accommodating and even though the wifi was down we still could pay through Venmo. The food was phenomenal, we had the banana bread toast pancakes, shrimp Benedict, loco moco, upcountry. Everything was so good the pancakes were moist and delicious and the perfect crunch to moist texture inside and out. Highly recommend so glad we tried it out! read more

Slightly disappointed with this place. It is very cute, they have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a little store as well. The staff was pleasant. We got there within the first hour of opening. It took them a while to take our order and make our food. I was expecting a little sooner since there was only one other party of 2 there. I had some pancakes and unfortunately, they were not my favorite. They were dry and flavor was lacking. The tacos were ok. Tortillas were cold. The smoothie we got was very tasty but expensive for a small glass. I was expecting something larger. read more

Fun place to have Breakfast in Paia! This is a Historic Train Depot Building. They have lots of merchandise for sale as you enter if you are visiting. They also have Art paintings for sale. There are different seating options outdoors as well as indoor seating available. It was a little windy outside so we opted for indoors. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. There was a long wait for the food but we were not in a rush. I had the Breakfast Sandwich which I shared with my husband and the Banana Bread French Toast. Both were tasty. Good place to visit and eat at the same time! read more

This is a beautiful little spot to get breakfast and brunch! Historical building with lovely ambiance, chill music and delicious food. We had pancakes, banana bread French toast with fruit, breakfast sandwich and Benedicts. Everything was delicious and tasty.

We really liked Nadia and Nikki. The food is quite good. The problem is they need more help. They are overwhelmed with customers and lacking in ability to take care of them. If you're not in a hurry, this is a good spot for breakfast. read more

We visited Island Fresh Café for breakfast and beat the rush because they got busy very quickly! Our party of 8 was seated on the patio, which had an amazing ambiance - beautiful garden of various plants, painted surfboards, cool hanging lights, etc. They also had a little outdoor shop in the front with clothing and gifts, and a dog wandering around the property. For drinks, I ordered an Iced Coffee, which unfortunately wasn't the best. It tasted a bit watered down and wasn't caffeinated enough for me. For food, I ordered the Açaí Bowl and also the Avocado Toast to share with my friend. The Avocado Toast came out first and came with eggs cooked to order (we chose over easy). The portion size was pretty small but I loved the pesto on top! Service was friendly but it took a while for all our food to come out, and a server came back out periodically to confirm which items were still missing. My Açaí Bowl was last to arrive, after the rest of my friends had finished eating. It came served in a coconut bowl, which was super cute, and tasted great! The portion size didn't look large but it was surprisingly filling. Overall, we had a nice breakfast here! read more

We really enjoyed our food here. I would say the food here is a no nonsense basic breakfast items that will get you full and do the job. So if you're expecting something super fancy or complicated, this ain't it. The fruit Platter was our favorite. Getting to try the mountain apple and fruits grown on the island was pretty cool. I would skip the coffee though I was not a fan and tasted very watered down. Also prepare to be swatting flys although they do bring out those spinner fans to help with that but it was still a lil annoying. read more

Great service, delicious fruit, good omelette and toast! Recommend for breakfast in Paia.

- 40 minutes to get coffee - dirty silverware - incorrect order - scrambled eggs sitting in a pool of oil - hot sauce for table had a dead fly in it - staff were pleasant, but not communicating with kitchen or each other. - charged for two coffees, ordered one. - disappointed, my worst meal in 30 years visiting Maui. Couldn't wait to get out of there! read more

this is a great place to visit if you're in Paia if you're driving for the road to Hena, this is a perfect stop to make. They have a parking at the back so don't forget about that. We ordered a bunch of stuff, but their avocado toast with omelette is a great choice. The açai bowls are amazing. Must try and pretty much all the omelettes are great. You need to check with the team what fresh juices they have because I had a mango and Lily Koi juice it was Delicious. They do have fresh coconuts that they can cut in front of you and give you.. very friendly staff and great service which was super fast and the ambience is like Your on the beach side of Hawaii. You'll always feel like you're on vacation every place in Hawaii mostly will remind you that you are in the beachside snack shack read more

Our experience here was wonderful. The Loco Moco & fruits were fantastic, the best we had in Maui!

I don't understand how this spot is such a miss with amazing ambience. The food is not good and unseasoned. The coffee is watery and undrinkable. There was a guy coming around to tables offering banana bread to take home. Many tables were so thankful to him including ours only to realize it was not on the house he was selling it but he didn't say that and there was no sign on the tray showing $10. Btw the banana bread isn't good sorry but it's true. And the French toast looked nothing like pictures, it was just sliced banana bread with fruit on top and syrup poured over it. What in the world?! maybe we just hit this spot on a really bad day I have no idea but the food and drinks here are terrible. My Benedict had no flavor the hollandaise literally tastes like air and was gritty. The pancakes that come with your meal are like ones you get in the freezer section and microwave. Little hard saucers. The only great thing was our server she was such a doll I felt bad to return things to the kitchen because it wasn't her fault. The good - ambiance is so so lovely and the service is amazing! Seriously nice people and a lovely area to just chill. Just need to bring your own food and drinks lol read more
