Açaí bowl substitute pineapple for the bananas
Juls B.

Cute little place off the road. Good menu and food was fresh and came out fast. Açaí bowl fresh and yum. Sub sandwich was huge! Definitely sharable. Love their bread they use. Super fresh and soft. Service was good and everyone seems to be enjoying the vibe.

Nothing better than a refreshing açaí bowl after a warm hike along the coast. I love this spot because it has a generous menu and plenty of seating inside. We tried the island vibes açaí bowl that had granola, bananas, strawberries, lilikoi butter, and graham cracker with macadamia crumble. I never had lilikoi butter but it was such a good addition. The fruit was very fresh and the açaí was so refreshing. I asked the staff what their favorite bowl was and I'm so glad they picked this one.

I write this to you from my local New York City coffee shop, the Samurai Champloo soundtrack spinning in my wired apple headphones, a zyn tucked high and tight, and a black coffee blessing my lips. What more could a guy ask for? I'm fresh back in this manic city off of a trip to Maui. What a special place. Polar opposite vibe of New York, but I love both. I NEED both. Island Vibes Cafe became our local cafe/coffee shop to get the day started, as it was a short walk from the Airbnb. These places are special. They become home and give you a little slice of routine while on vacation. I was essentially living off of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sunrise smoothie ($11) and the Peanut Butter Banana Bagel ($11.50). It was straight fuel for me, no better way to get the day started. I had no cell service in here, and it brought me back to a simpler time when we all weren't so plugged into the outside world. We would all just enjoy each other's company. On mornings when I came alone, I would find myself just sitting with my thoughts. I've been extremely burnt out recently, but found this time alone I was coming up with some great ideas and my battery was actually being recharged. This time forced me to realize how important being "bored" is. It forces you to be creative and think about things that you put off when you are getting blasted with content, videos, and stimuli 24/7. Being bored is a completely lost art in today's world, and I'm grateful to Island Vibes for putting me in a straight jacket and making me bored. I need to be bored more often. Thank God I didn't realize they had wifi until my last day in here lol. On this last day as I walked up to order, the sweet cashier with the cool necklace said "the usual?" What an honor. I felt like a regular. I responded with a hard "Absolutely," got my bagel and smoothie, and sat there, opting not to connect to the wifi. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Iced latte ($6.75)

Island Vibes Cafe is a local coffee and breakfast shop in the Kapalua area of Maui. They are right by the water and located in a small plaza and an even smaller parking lot. They have a variety of offerings: coffee, smoothies, açaí bowls, breakfast burritos, and sandwiches. They also have juices that are freshly pressed. We ordered the island vibes açaí bowl ($15) which was decent and slightly sweet due to the lilikoi butter. We ordered the Cali style burrito ($15) with bacon; we wished the portion size was bigger but we liked the bacon and the salsa was very good. We also got the iced latte ($6.75) that was standard. The interior was spacious and there were a good amount of tables. There was even extra space for people to park their surfboards while they grabbed a coffee or a bite to eat.

Awesome little cafe right in Nāpili right behind Napili bay. Literally 100 feet from the public entrance to the beach. I loved this cute shop!. They sell sandwiches, açaí bowls, coffee, snacks and the best guava cheesecake ever!!!! Also during my stay my goal was to find the best açaí bowl and they won hands down best one!!! The breakfast burrito is delicious and the coffee was perfect! Wish I could come here everyday on my way to the beach! Also they sell a bunch of cute stuff from household beachy decor to really cute locally made jewelry. Oh and the music is fun and livel Pro tip: grab some coffee and head over to the beach or grab lunch or an açaí bowl and head back to the beach baby!

Great Brazilian cheese bread and coffee. Delicious freshly baked! Friendly staff and spacious dining tables. Ambiance is relaxing and clean. Walkable distance from montage hotel or plenty of parking in front of the store.

Stopped in for some food and drinks for the beach and we were not disappointed! The prices are a little steep but you could tell everything was freshly made. The wait was also a while since they just have one person taking orders but it moved pretty quick! I really enjoyed my matcha and the açaí bowl was delicious as well. We walked so unsure of how parking would be but there was lots of seating inside and I liked the local vendors being showcased as well!

Day 2 (take-out order).. Mac nut latte w/oat-milk & blue raspberry shaved ice on our lanai (flower I found on my walk back;))
Minh L.

All around amazing! Went yesterday and ate in and again today for take out. Delicious coffee (I ordered mac-nut latte w/oat milk) and loving their loaded veggie everything bagel. My son had shaved ice both days (I brought my own cooler and got shaved ice to go today since we were only a few minute walk ;)) They have a really cute island vibes shop. We got a few really cute souvenirs and gift. Aloha and Mahalo!!

What an INCREDIBLE find! We are staying walking distance from this cute cafe and are so pleased we found it! It's super clean, with a chic local vibe. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Their menu is simple yet has great variety for all. My two daughters quickly found items they wanted, as did I which is surprising because I am gluten free. We got two acai bowls and a breakfast wrap. All three were delicious! We will definitely be returning for more this trip.

Bagel, burrito, Island Vibes Açaí
Shanelle S.

Relaxed cafe with breakfast burritos and acai bowls. Came here for breakfast with my boyfriend and ordered an egg and cheddar bagel, island vibes acai bowl, and Paia style burrito. The burrito was filling and vegetarian friendly. I really liked the macadamia nut crumble and the passionfruit drizzle on the acai bowl, as it's not a common thing to see in the acai bowls I order in LA. It wasn't too sweet too, which was good. There was a small parking lot in the front. Plenty of seating was available.

Tropical Chocolate Acai

This was another yelp find during our trip to Maui and we loved it so much we are planning on going back before we leave the island. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is great, too. I will be dreaming out my açaí bowl for a long, long time.

This place does everything great. Do your taste buds, senses (vibe) and tummy a favor, order anything and it is delicious, healthy and flavorful. Special shoutout to the shaved ice, after trying it at a 5 star hotel restaurant, which was just little blocks of ice with some artificial syrup. This is legit, how it should be.

Lovely coffee shop with great food options. Short walk from Napili beach. I had an island latte and Acai bowl, both were great. Great Wall art and a few Hawaiian gifts to choose from

My daughter and I split the combo pancakes with macadamia nuts, pineapple, and banana, served with coconut syrup, along with an omelette, potatoes, and toast.

Everyone loved their meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt relaxed and very Maui.

( If you order the half plate you proably played soccer). Also this place has maybe one of the best views in the world for breakfast so just sit down drink your 17 cups of coffee (because your coffee cup will not go empty in this establishment), and enjoy the time with whoever your with. FYI: I know the line is long that's why you get there early or honestly after 10:30, and there are no reservations this is how the place operates and it's great. I know Proably 200 plus people complained about a wait time on this review board and guess what who cares your in Maui you can stare at the ocean in line. Maybe get off your phone talk to each other and enjoy the view. Mahalo

You order at the counter, find a table, and they'll bring your food out when it's ready. We always have a great meal here! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Loco Moco was rich and comforting, with a perfectly seasoned beef patty, fluffy rice, and delicious brown gravy. The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and topped with perfectly cooked eggs and fresh green onions for a nice crunch. I do have to mention that they're a little on the spicy side, but absolutely worth it! The cinnamon roll was the perfect way to end the meal--soft, warm, and topped with just the right amount of sweet icing. The service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. If you're looking for an amazing breakfast or brunch in Maui, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back every time we're in town!

Ok so we are staying here and we ate dinner and breakfast at this place…read more Our dinner was not bad. They do jot give you much. I will have to say the calamari was excellent. Now to why there is a 1 star. Breakfast! DO NOT GO HERE FOR BREAKFAST!! We did the buffet because breakfast service was available. It was $47 a person for a mediocre buffet. The sausage links were very well done. By well done I mean cooked to jerky almost. The cook did a good job and was nice. He crisped my mushy potatoes for me which was nice. We decided we would go and make a waffle and share it with no way to butter it before syrup so we had to find a syrup bowl. Here is the teal bad part.... When we came back someone was sitting at our table. Not even joking. We were just standing in the middle holding our waffles when we finally saw the waiter who said oh I thought you left. We had not even been here for 10-15 minutes total and he just gave me coffee before I left! We had to wait for them to clean another table, then wait for silverware and napkins, then ask for drinks again. A poorly run Embassy Suites beats this buffet hands down. So if you eat here and go for seconds, that should be normal for a buffet, leave one person at the table! Never doing breakfast here again.

I honestly didn't even know this spot existed, but it turned out to be a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The setup was nice -- breakfast items in one room, and everything else in another -- and even though we were seated during the later half of the brunch, there was still an overload of options with items being constantly refilled. They had sushi, prime rib, crab legs, desserts, breakfast favorites, and plenty more. I did manage to snag a few crab legs before they ran out (such a bummer!), and I even left some behind for the next person thinking they'd get refilled... lesson learned, lol. But everything I did try was delicious. My family and I had a really enjoyable time. Service was nice and friendly. Between the variety, the quality, and the relaxed resort setting, it ended up being a lovely way to spend Mother's Day. I'd definitely recommend checking out Coral Reef if you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special. Plus, the view from the lobby upstairs is beautiful. Definitely stop there on y

This new location although not a sit down restaurant anymore is a food truck. But the food hasn't changed one bit. It's all still amazing. We visit the island often and always have to have 808 at least twice during our trip. We order over the phone and pick up at the truck and you can eat it at the tables there or take it to go. YOU HAVE TO GET THE MAC BUT PANCAKES WITH THE MAC NUT SAUCE! That's an absolute must. I've never had better pancakes in my life! I also always get their loco mocos and they're so delicious. The staff always treats you like family and I'm so glad they opened up again because we were so sad how the fires too away so many mom and pop businesses. Easy parking lot

Had this is Big Island and was happy to see a location here in Maui!…read more The Mac nut pancakes are so good; so fluffy and the perfect amount of sweetness. Pretty reasonably priced overall, can't believe the steak and eggs was only $10. I really enjoyed their fried rice and it came with a generous portion. Only con is the wait - one of times we came it ended up being an hour long and given it's a food truck with limited seating (all outdoor) it might not be the best option if you're in a rush or have kids. Seems like it's one person taking your order one person cooking so understandably if it's backed up it's going to be a longer wait.
