Had 2 recent visits here. First hubby and I came for lunch. We literally always have the fried rice, hence the 2 pics to show consistency. We also shared the chicken fried steak and eggs. The meal was plentiful and tasty. The chicken fried steak was tender and cooked to perfection. The fried rice is always amazing and will stay on as our go to. Our servers are always friendly and helpful. I love the patio seating and lack of chickens at this location. On our second visit, hubby had the carne asada loco moco. This dish was amazing and I hope they add this to the regular menu, as it was a "special" It was delicious and I was jealous that I didn't order one for myself. Kihei Caffe is consistently one of the best breakfast spots on Maui. read more

loco moco ($18.95) - haven't really had that many loco mocos in life but i would say this is a pretty standard one, tasted within my expectations - however, i had a FIRE loco moco few days after and because that was an elevated take that tastes 100 times better than this, my rating for this went down - the meat patty was actually bit hard and dry; the texture wasn't the best; it only didn't feel too dry because it was drenched in the gravy - nothing special about this dish tbh because it consisted of only large amount of rice, meat patty, and 2 sunny side up eggs - basic loco moco but it's a dish id try once and be done with it pancakes with banana and macadamia ($16.95) - each additional topping is $2.5 more and idk how i feel about that because they didnt put too much of them; anyhow it was still a good decision to add bananas and macadamia nuts though - the texture of this pancake is way above the typical ones from denny's or a random spot that's thin and ordinary - it's got some fluffiness to it and a slight chew - however, it is still on the dryer side so it'd only be good if you pair it with a generous amount of honey and cream - not anything life changing about this pancake but it is definitely an above average one rating: 3.5/5 - overall, id say this breakfast spot feels like any other american breakfast spot but a tad bit better - nothing was especially impressive nor memorable - the portion was super massive for the price point though; we couldn't finish everything and had leftovers but mainly because they gave a lot of rice - super quick service and half self service so nothing much to note - they got plenty of outside seats which was nice with a little ocean view but you'd be sharing food with flies and litto birdies IG: @nom.noms.only read more

Kihei Caffe is a casual, counter-service spot with a lot of charm. You order at the counter and then a server walks around calling out names to deliver your food. I imagine it can be a little chaotic if they're busy but it's part of the fun. We went on Saturday morning and had about a 10 minute wait. The outdoor seating is lovely and makes for a really pleasant breakfast setting. The food is the real star. I ordered the corned beef and hash with pork fried rice instead of potatoes and scrambled eggs. The corned beef had a beautiful crispy layer that took it to another level. And if you're an ube fan, the Creamy Ube Halaya cold brew is an absolute must try. A unique, delicious experience! I'd definitely come back. read more

What an amazing find in Maui. We have a friend who lives in this area and she recommended we meet her here for breakfast. When we arrived, we had to order as we walked in the door (so be prepared for that, I recommend reviewing the menu online before going). We ordered, sat ourselves and the food was brought out quickly. Great service by the staff who are friendly and helpful. The ambiance is nice in that you can either sit outdoors with the nice breeze or indoors. Food was delicious, cooked to order and disappeared quickly off our plates. Highly recommend this place if you are in Maui. read more

If you're wanting breakfast in the wee hours here in Maui, this place is a great pick! Large indoor/outdoor seating area and the menu is pretty extensive. You pay before seated and you pick your own seats which is a plus! The food came pretty fast. Definitely check this place out when you're in Maui. read more

What a nice place for breakfast and good coffee! I am glad we got here at 6:30 in the morning because the line was forming fast soon after! We had orders for a party of 4 and waited about 25 minutes, but in the meantime, the Creamy Ube Halaya was amazing. The So Ono coffee would be great with an extra shot! The Macadamia Banana French toast is a definite must try. The Açaí bowl and Chia bowl are both great in my personal opinion and healthy, filling options! The outside seating makes for a nice place to have a leisurely breakfast, cup of Joe and people watch! The baby chicks are pretty entertaining too! read more

My family and I loved this location and the food was great. The prices are expensive but what can you expect it's Maui, HI. French toast was 10/10 and the bacon was top tier with the eggs and breakfast potatoes. We will be coming back! read more

Looked up the menu on this chain and since we wanted to have a breakfast with some Hawaiian touches (like local bacon, ham or sweet bread), we tried it out. Super disappointing. First of all, the layout is a scam. You pay and tip at the beginning before they've even helped you. Not knowing what to expect, or that we would be seating ourselves, I tipped 20%. All the waitress got us was our food. We got our own drinks and our own table. Then, because I wanted a taste of local food, I got the papaya bowl, with the sweet bread French Toast. He got the traditional breakfast with Kalua Pork. The papaya bowl was a pre made refrigerated bowl (I saw it at the front in the case, but assumed I would get a fresh version). The French toast did not taste like sweet bread. It tasted like regular old French toast. And the Kalua Pork didn't have any flavor. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We visited the Kihei Caffe at the Maui Gold Hotel in late September 2025, while the hotel is undergoing renovations (scheduled until December 2025). During this time, they're serving a smaller menu poolside in to-go boxes, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and portion sizes. My husband ordered the Loco Moco with Spam, which came with rice, a fried egg, brown gravy, and topped with green onions. It was hearty, flavorful, and a classic Hawaiian comfort dish. BIG dish! My mom and I went for the veggie burrito option (served without a tortilla) - essentially a scramble with eggs, spinach, melted cheese, avocado, jalapeños, and a side of fries. It was both filling and a relatively healthy breakfast choice, which we appreciated. We also tried the Keiki French Toast, which was golden, soft, and came with whipped cream. A simple but well-done treat that kids will enjoy. Even with the limited menu and the more casual poolside setup, Kihei Caffe delivered good food with generous portions. The menu leans toward hearty, satisfying breakfasts but still offers some lighter, veggie-forward options. We left full and happy - a nice way to start the morning on Maui. We're looking forward to visiting again once renovations are complete, but in the meantime, this temporary setup is still worth checking out if you're staying nearby. read more

The actual physical cafe restaurant is under construction right now so they are serving by the pool. Its a very chill and relax type of place to eat. Very casual. Service was pretty fast and our waitress was nice. She got our orders in quickly and got them out very quickly as well. I got the French toast with 2 eggs scrambled. I asked if I could get potatoes instead of the breakfast meat options. It was nice they accommodated me. My friend and I didn't ask for it to go, that is just how they serve their food for the time being I suppose. Breakfast was nonetheless delicious! May have missed it but wanted to try their pineapple French toast. Oh well, maybe next time! read more

Haven't been down here in a while, wasn't impressed. Food was ok. Eggs well cooked on the Benedict, sauce tasted like it was premade. Pancakes were also ok, tasted again like a premade mix, but well cooked. Servers and order taker were friendly and professional, but things have changed since the last time we were here, and you now stand in line to order, seat yourself, then someone rushes by and plops your food on the table. Efficient, but feels very automated. Not a fan of this way of doing business. Hard to peruse menu and ask questions when there are a dozen people waiting in line behind you. Rooms were nicely decorated, bathrooms clean. We had been hoping for a nice day off breakfast, but entire experience felt like the old saying of "Here's your hat. What's your hurry?" read more

The ordering process was easy and I appreciated the menus to view while in line. The omelette was very good and easy to customize. Home fries/potatoes were good and crispy. The Hawaiian Honey cold brew was so good!!!! So so good!! I wish I could get one every day to start my morning. Nice seating with half indoor/half outdoor options and fully indoor options. read more

Kihei Caffe - Buffalo club sandwich on sourdough Cheese omelette with spinach and tomatoes - Desserts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Great breakfast food. I enjoyed ordering at the front instead of waiting for service. Everyone was nice.

This Kihei Caffe is located in Maui Coast Hotel. When you enter, grab a menu and place your order with the cashier. Grab a seat, and your food should come to you fairly quickly! The location has plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes are great and the air is fresh! I ordered the corned beef hash with rice and eggs over easy. Note: As of April 2025, there is an additional $2 charge for any and all egg dishes. There is a 3% surcharge if you pay with card. Bring cash to play it safe! The portion was perfect, the hash was crispy and delicious, rice was well-cooked and eggs were delicious. The biscuit was buttery and yummy. Water is available to all, just grab a cup and pour from the dispenser. What a wonderful business, perfect for guests at the beautiful Maui Coast Hotel! read more

If you're visiting Maui (like me) and looking for a casual place to brunch with family, this is the spot. Located in the Maui Coast Hotel, this restaurant isn't your typical, sit and order restaurant, the service is still welcoming and quick. You place your order at the cashier, grab your utensils from them, pick up your drinks at the bar, and find a seat to dine in while they prepare for your meal. Once your meal is ready, a server will call your name and bring it right to your table. For drinks, the offer the usual breakfast beverages: coffee, juice, mimosas. There is also a self-serve station for water and condiments. As for the food, I ordered the Irish eggs benedict which came with fresh corned beef hash and grilled tomatoes. Now, the usual corned beef hash includes fillers like potatoes and onions, peppers, etc. But during my visit, it was straight corned beef. It was still delicious regardless as it went well with the perfectly runny yolk of the poached egg, the sweet grilled flavor of the tomato, and the English muffin. The fried potatoes on the side also was a great addition to the whole entire dish. The dish itself filled my stomach while my heart was filled with spending quality time with my family. A few things to note are: 1) there is currently a temporary $2 surcharge on any fried of poached eggs, which a sign was posted in front by the cashier, 2) there is a small lot across the restaurant for you park, and 3) this place tend to get busy during peak brunch hours but the process is smooth. As mentioned, you order, find a seat, grab your drinks at the bar, and wait for your name to be called. It's a laid-back vibe for sure but when you're on vacation, it's all good. read more

Was ok. Kinda like the place you go to since its close by but doesn't really wow you. Real haole kinda place but the food was so so. Pretty bland actually. We got the chilaquiles and steak and both were kinda meh. Not much else to say tbh. The roads were flooded due to the Kona low storms so we were limited in places to go so we went here. Thats it. Wouldn't go back tbh. Place was nice enough, but just real basic and the food was just basic. read more

Maui Wowee?? My friends and I came here this purely out of covenience reasons. This restaurant is located on the same property as our hotel (Maui Coast). NOTES 1. Revised hours are 6:00am to 2:00pm. There is actually a sign at the entrance notating their 2:00pm closure. 2. Per signage near the entrance: take a menu, order at the register, pick up your drinks, and have a seat. 3. There's another sign near the cashier notating to please order your food before finding a seat; essentially discouraging savings seats. 4. Indoor and outdoor seating available; though most seating is in their outdoor patio/lanai. 5. Provide your name to the cashier. Your name will be called when your food and drinks are ready. FOOD / DRINK The menu is very extensive. Per the menu, they serve breakfast all day. To note, the flip side of the menu is lunch and dinner. I was with 2 friends, and one was the other person in our group that also chose the Chorizo scramble. Our other friend ordered the Banana bread French toast. The food was ok, and slightly overpriced, but I guess that's what expected at a place that caters to tourists. There are many breakfast choices on the menu, so I feel confident one would fine something to satisfy their breakfast appetite. SERVICE Like the food, it was ok. The cashier was friendly enough, and the guy who dropped off our food was polite. We all thought they should adopt a better system when informing customers their order is ready. I think using a number system or providing small devices that vibrate or light up would be more efficient. Sometimes it seemed difficult to hear names, and while we were eating we observed a worker unable to find a customer when calling their name. Also, some customers will have the same name which may cause some confusion. BOTTOM LINE The entire experience was just ok. Unsure if I would recommend. read more

While in Maui, we stayed at a very nice hotel called the Maui Coast. At the entry of the hotel lies the Kihei Caffe (second location on Maui). We saw this place had quite a group of people the day we walked in and thought maybe it's REALLY good. The restaurant itself is nice and has plenty of seating around with two outdoor seating areas. It is a counter service spot, so don't expect any kind of full service. One thing they could work on is giving numbers to tables that way you don't have the servers yelling out names for orders and then there being multiple Ben's at the restaurant. The food itself is alright not best but does the trick. We both ordered the benedict with the house potatoes (which are really good). The benedict itself wasn't too good as the sauce wasn't very flavorful and the fried rice we had ordered was a little cold, almost as if it had been premade and chilling for a while. If you're looking for a quick and cheap bite for brunch, then Kihei Caffe is the spot. read more

We tried a different location of Kihei Caffe this time. When we arrived, the line was super long. We dropped off my husband to stand in line while we parked the car. The line moved surprisingly fast. We ordered the Loco Moco with corned beef to share. Our cousin ordered the Loco Moco with Kalua pork. Her breakfast was good, but ours was to die for. It was our favorite restaurant meal of the entire trip! Make sure to try this restaurant when you are in the area. You won't be sorry! read more

Greeted by signs saying cash only and a sad face, we paid $55 for mediocre two egg breakfast and coffee. All served up with attitude. We felt every bit the tourist/intruders by the locals working there. I get it, we get bombarded with snowbirds half the year and it often feels intrusive but we aren't rude or disrespectful and here we hope and believe that we are supporting a recovering community. This is not our first trip to Maui nor the first time staying at this end of the island. It is the first time we felt looked down upon while having an okay meal and bad coffee. If staying at Maui Coast, it's very convenient but there are other options nearby. read more

We tried the new location and loved it. The food is just as good as the original location down the street. Ambiance is better with more seating and air conditioning :) Service is good too and this location has longer hours :) Had my favorite, Corned Beef Hash, 2 sunny-side eggs, rice, and biscuit. Reminder to self, get the POG juice. read more

Unfortunately, this newer Kihei Caffe location doesn't match in the food quality of the original place. My tuna melt was fine but my wife's loco moco lacked flavor in the meat and fried rice. She said afterwards she wished she didn't waste her calories on it. This location is an open air modern style and you order at the counter. It was fairly empty too which is odd to see in August. read more

Solid breakfast spot! I love their coconut syrup!! Add it on your pancakes, french toasts, or even drink it lol!! Loco moco is simple yet good. Saucy gravy all over the rice. You order food then eat outside. Not a lot of seatings but we found spots to sit so it was not a problem. I do think the cost is quite high for what the food is. Nothing mindblowing. If I was not here for vacation, I wouldn't come back. read more

Delicious breakfast & brunch spot with lots of seating, A/C, and views of the ocean. This is one of the few Kihei Caffe locations, this one in the Maui Coast Hotel. You choose what you want and pay ahead at the counter and then they give you your drinks before you go to your table. They have a lot of options of the menu, so choose wisely but you probably can't go wrong with most options. * Surfer Dude Sandwich: 5/5 - crispy bacon, brioche bun, and delicious eggs, this filling breakfast sandwich hit the spot! * French Toast: 5:5 - don't skip on adding the fresh fruit (bananas) and Mac nuts. These were INSANE, so fluffy, soft and oh so good! This was definitely some of the better French toast I've ever had. * Lemonade: 3.5/5 - good but nothing special. No refills. This breakfast hit the spot was ideal for chilling and enjoying a delicious meal with a view. read more

I know this is a local chain but dam their loco moco is dammmm goooodddd! The gravy was rich and umami it really ties in the hamburger patty and rice. I still dream of eating here my only regret is we didn't have enough time to come back to this breakfast spot more. This is pretty much super casual spot, when you walk in you order at the counter then you get a number and you find a table. Water and other things are self serve. For the price and portion it's very generous for Maui! Everything here is solid you really can't go wrong with anything! Happy eating! read more

1 of 3 Kihei Caffe's newest locations on the island -- definitely a must if you're looking for a good breakfast spot with quick service! Plenty of parking in the lot next to the restaurant, you order at the register first, then sit anywhere you'd like. It's outdoor seating with plenty of shade. Cashiers were very friendly, would recommend paying with cash to avoid a cc fee, they'll hand you a number, and call out your name when your order is ready, but will more than likely bring it to your table. We ordered the loco moco and garlic fried rice -- both were delicious!! Just needed a bit salt and pepper for our taste. We also shared the Ube iced latte and it was perfect, not too sweet (highest compliment coming from a Filipina lol). read more

Great breakfast place! I love that you order at the register and don't have a server. Drinks were extremely quick and the food came out timely. To find breakfast on Maui for under $100 bucks for four people feels like you're robbing the place. If you're looking for a view of the ocean this isn't it but the dining is outdoors and covered and just on the other side of the road from the beach. Pancakes (the size of your face), bacon and eggs, and my personal favorite ...the LOCO MOCO- rice, hamburger patty, beef gravy, and eggs. Hawaiian classic! I wish they would have put the crispy onion straws on top, it could have been an add on that I missed but regardless it was excellent. Traditionally you should get runny eggs but I don't like them, scrambled works. Could easily feed 2 to 132 people. read more

The beat became better?! OK they don't have the funk that the old place has. Instead, you've got a significant amount of nice seating, and a lovely view of the ocean. The best part is that it wasn't crowded. We arrived when they opened at 7 AM. There were a handful of people in front of us, but we were served practically immediately. Everything came out super quick. If it looks like it's going to rain, choose a table towards the center because it can blow through there a bit even though it's covered. Although my husband said the rice on his loco moco was a little bit undercooked, I can tell you that my meal was absolute perfection. As expected from Kihei Café!, service was spot on. We will be back. And then we will probably be back again. And maybe once more before we leave. Highly recommend! read more
