    I wanted another breakfast place to go to that we haven't been to. I searched the reviews and picked this place. Not sure I did a good job. The place is up North from my resort and only a 5 minute ride, so it was close by. The reviews were just ok but I tried it. We got there and found a parking spot close to the restaurant. When we went it it was pretty packed. all tourist . I looked around but didn't see any seats. My wife and I went back to the front and a waiter said it would be a second, then directed us to a table all the way to the back of the place. Luckily the guy behind the bar said he got us. Otherwise I didn't think we would have gotten any service for a while. The place was packed full of weird stuff for decorations. The walls were written on by previous customers. It was a sight to see. Not sure it helped in know if the food would be good our not. It look Peruvian maybe. The guy looked possibly that or middle eastern? not sure. He brought us some menus and asked if we wanted coffee. I told him just water. I decided to go with eggs benedict to be safe. The wife decided on an omelet. The service was really slow and you could see people were already finished eating and wanted to pay but didn't have their bill. The place was full. We learned later that only two people were working today and the old man apologized for the slow service. My benedict wasn't too bad. The flavor was ok . My wife's omelet was a miss. It was lunch meat and canned pineapple and she said it was horrible. Oh well not a good pick. It seemed like a tourist trap especially the prices were crazy for the low quality food. We have eaten all over the island and had great food at way better prices no need to gouge on prices. We won't be back

    Hello Fellow Yelpers We found this place by accident, which was great for us. Had dinner , I had the chef salad with a delicious vinaigrette and my sister had shrimp scampi. Both were very tasty. The best part of the night was the awesome waitress Samantha and the live music singer Chris Magee. We found out they also serve breakfast and we can back in the morning for this. We are coming back tonight to hear the live music again. I highly recommend you try this little hole in the wall restaurant/bar quirky place Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Happy Yelping, please follow me for more awesome reviews

    Hawaiian Omelette
    Eva W.

    The decor of this place was unique. It's an old bar with fancy decorations, and dark art stuff. Not sure how to explain it, but some of the things didn't go. The place looked like it needed some care and updates. There were two servers, when we walked in. One told us to wait and the other told us to sit anywhere. We just decided to sit. It took them awhile to come by. But we finally put our order in. I ordered the Hawaiian omelette. It was awful. The omelette was very over cooked and they used thinly, sliced lunch meat for their ham and canned pineapple. There wasn't very much cheese. It didn't taste very good, it was very bad. The only thing I liked on my plate was the toast, and that was mediocre. You would think they would use fresh pineapple, you're in Hawaii! The omelette was overpriced, they charged $22. I compared other cafes and restaurants in the area and the restaurants don't charge as much. I would never come back. This was an awful experience. Service and food were bad. I think they are taking advantage of the tourist in the area. They are charging more than they should for their food. This is unfortunate.

    SF vanilla latte

    I did a take out order because I was short on time but if I could have stayed for dine in, I would have. The food and coffees were absolutely amazing. The staff was sweet and helpful. The decor is flipping amazing!! I'm not a local but if I was, I'd be a regular at this place. I ordered the French toast breakfast with a SF vanilla latte and let me tell you; that french toast was one of the best I've ever had, it wasn't too sweet and it was the perfect portion size for me. Definitely recommend! I am so coming back here when I visit again and I'll recommend this place for anyone looking for an awesome hole in the wall! Loved it!

    Live music
    amy T.

    We came at 7pm for a drink and dessert. I found a great spot at the bar to listen to the one man band. He played Billy Joel, Tom Petty, and Grateful Dead. He was pretty good and made this even more festive for a December night. The food is comforting and we went with an amazing bread pudding that was just outstanding. Definitely safe room for it or go straight for drinks and dessert. The bartender is a friendly local. There's a cute black and white tuxedo cat who deserves attention. We will be back again and again. Cheers.

    Interior, very eclectic decoration, great people watching!

    Unfortunately things have gotten worse. Coffee is still good but the food (breakfast) went further downhill and the place is so dingy and groady now. It needs a deep clean really bad! Stickiness and dust and grime everywhere, gross! And don't get me started on the politics, yikes.

    Late bird special
    Danielle C.

    I stumbled upon this little cafe/bar on my first full day in Maui and I really enjoyed the whole experience. As soon as I came in, I was welcomed by the staff and took a spot at the bar. The ambience was very relaxing, smooth jazz playing the entire time. I ordered the late bird special and it was great. A simple breakfast at a good price considering the cost of food on the island. My server was absolutely amazing. Attentive, friendly, and made me feel very welcome as a solo diner/traveler. I like it here and definitely not in a huge hurry to take off. I could hang out at this place for awhile. Rated 4 stars just because they charged 2 bucks for a side of hot sauce. Otherwise it was great.

    My love's 50th birthday!!! Thank YOU
    Nathaniel E.

    Manuia!! I did a review yesterday about our AWFUL experience with David. I called today to see who was bartending on our last night on Maui. It was Sharon!!!! Praise to God!! This girl is thee most legit woman on the planet!! We met Dorisa and had an amazing conversation and we are going home having new friends and we're leaving the aisle with a heart full of love. Maui no Ka oi Alllll day.

    Cheeseburger
    Timothy H.

    My wife and I are staying in the area and looking for a place to have lunch. We decided on Java Jazz. We walked into a decorated wall to wall bar/ restaurant that was pretty cool looking. The bartender waited on us immediately and he was very funny and very attentive. My wife decided on the taco salad which she said was delicious. I ordered a cheeseburger which was very very tasty. While it was a quick meal and drink, the service and the food were great. Thanks Java Jazz.

    Pancake with bacon eggs and French toast. Sausage not shown
    Shanel S.

    Yes! Loved this place. It's one of those kitschy filled with random items. Art and signed dollar bills, old statues, dolls and things you see down the shore. Service was quick and attentive. The server is a kind soul that wants you to enjoy. Good hot coffee with free refills. The coffee has a boob on the emblem. You know it will be good. I had the French toast and Portuguese sausage. I liked the sausage but my wife felt it was too greasy to enjoy. I get it. I love it though! Good amount of bacon and well sized pancake. It soaked up the syrup like it is supposed to without getting soggy. Friendly, fast, flavorful and local. We would absolutely return to this little spot. And they have live music at night. Kudos!

    Chicken Alfredo
    Lauren P.

    Such great food!!! The best Alfredo on the island! Everything is always super flavorful and fresh. Owner is awesome and the live music is a lot of fun!

    Live music most nights
    Todd M.

    Awesome, funky bar with great live music every night 7p - 10p. Good happy hour choices. Super friendly servers. Cool vibe and chill atmosphere. Has become a favorite of ours when in west Maui.

    Live music 7-10pm Lahaina, Maui, at Java Jazz

From our resort villa, we online ordered a large Crispy Pata, $46, and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes! Our Crispy Pata and a box of rice and dipping sauces were ready and waiting for us! It was delicious; fatty, crunchy, and full of flavor! This Crispy Pata lasted us quite a few meals, which we added to saimin, or rice. If you want great local Filipino/Asian fare, come to Joey's Kitchen in Napili. I am sorry that we missed the opening of their new restaurant, Dang Dang Noodles, by a few days. Next visit!

While I adore and often cook a lot of Asian food I'm not such a fan of Filipino food yet around it more than any other food with family. Bad choice. After driving there from Lahaina for lunch, this dish was unavailable?? Even yelpers rave about it! So we ordered the pork belly and wanted chow fun but they only have the chicken variety? So there is a reason why the Asian restaurants we usually dine at make beef chow fun. The chicken version was bland and wanting for something else to complete it! But surely edible and nicely cooked noodles. The pork belly was ok but not slap your momma I'll go back for that good. The Mac salad was awful compared to much more affordable plate lunch places. It was flavorless, overcooked pasta, and a gritty texture! Weirdly the chairs there at the tables are low and you feel like you are at the children's table at Thanksgiving. So much so that us and two other groups including the ones that moved after ordering to our vacated table moved from the regular tables to the ones at the window with a bench on one side. We had fun joking with our replacements about that! So for the most part here it appears to be tourist clientele and not many Filipinos but my wife. I think that these exceptionally high prices for basic dishes and burgers (she asked why would people go to a Filipino restaurant and order a burger) are why not many locals eat here. And frankly most aunties make better Filipino food better at home. Glad we tried but not again. Checked off of our try try list. They didn't even have a signature dish available that we went particularly to get.

The customer service was okay, female worker wasn't as friendly with us as she was with the person in front of us.

This is just personal preference, I don't like blended açaí because it melts quickly. The lilikoi butter is a fun idea, but I don't think it blended will with the bowl itself, it was bitter. My friend got the Cali style breakfast burrito and it was a small wrap and hardly "Cali" style at all. It was just giving breakfast burrito. The salsa was giving it came from a jar We also got an unsweetened matcha, if you have high expectations for matcha, I'd skip n go elsewhere. Overall food was good but very over priced for what you get. Go support the native Hawaiian locals instead of this spot, just being real.

The dragonfruit chia bowl was pretty good, just the ratio of the actual dragonfruit (puree) and chia pudding was about a spoonful of each in comparison to the actual fresh fruit. It was really off.

We did ask if there was another kind of syrup available other than the maple syrup that was there at the table. Our server offered us coconut syrup which was brought out ice cold. On top of that there was a $3 charge for it which the server didn't mention and I didn't see it listed on the menu. The mushroom scramble was also dry and plain. I had high hopes for this place, seeing that the restaurant itself looks bright and inviting, but unfortunately the food overall was less than mediocre.
