Ok. So maybe I'm a purist and find this Kihei caffe a little too refined. Lol Since last year they seem to have gotten their service and food sorted out. It's Kihei caffe now! read more

This used to be our Go To place in Kihei for breakfast. The food was fresh, hot, and fast... But Now... the last several times we have gone there the eggs have been cold , the toast cold, the pancakes cold, and the bacon old.... It seems like they are staging in the back to have fast service times but the food is no longer fresh tasting and AT LEAST WARM.. cold eggs are just disgusting. We have tried to give several chances thinking maybe it was a One Off but no... seems to be the norm now. Very disappointing. Sad to say we will be going elsewhere now for breakfast. read more

So... I did something crazy... I was there during a holiday and Kihei Caffe was running a special: Cinnamon Bun French Toast! It was decadent and delicious! No regrets!! I did wash it down with a black coffee (also good) to counteract the sweetness. I drop in here every once in a while and get a loco moco with pulled pork... always a solid choice... then you are set for hours, maybe even till dinner. Be patient, these guys get pretty busy, but worth it. read more

Their servings are huge! Love that about this place. They have a lot of good stuff on their menu, I wish I could've tried more. I also really like their Ube lattes - so good to start your day! I feel like we always have to stop in when we visit Maui, if you don't, what even are you doing?! J/K! read more

Stayed at the Maui Coastal Hotel and walked to this spot for breakfast. It's a practically self serviced spot so don't expect to be waited on. Order your food, pay, and tip before finding a spot to sit and eat. There is a water station where you can get your own cup of water. Tried the eggs Benedict with fresh corned beef and it was delicious! They didn't skimp out on the corned beef either. Most places would have more potato than meat but not here. Would come back to try the kalua pig Benedict for sure and maybe even their cinnamon rolls they have on display at the register. read more

Came here to just pick up some morning drinks! However, I need to come back because the food looks amazing here! We were told that the Ube coffee cold brew here is a must and it is very sweet, but it's very tasty! The ambience is amazing. Apparently this used to be a bar so they still have the bar set up but they have outdoor seating which is very lovely on a nice day! The restaurant itself is very large and spacious! The service is amazing. They do have two people at the front to get your order. The Italian soda is what I got and it was super tasty. read more

We had breakfast here and it was amazing! The food was fantastic and all of the workers were very friendly! Even though it was busy, the food came out very quickly and as people got up the workers cleared the tables very quickly. We would recommend anyone come here for a relaxed breakfast read more

Dined here for breakfast. Conveniently located right next to the hotel I was staying at. The menu is just like the other location down the street and I enjoy the ambiance here as you don't have to be rushed to eat your food as people await to be seated. The times I've been here there is ample seating. You choose what you want to eat, pay, ( they take credit cards here) sit down at any open table and enjoy your meal! read more

Kihei Cafe has their restaurant dialed in! Walking in you first see a beautiful bakery display filled with a bunch of yummy treats. Next to the display is a friendly face waiting to take your order. Once ordered, you choose where you'd like to sit. We chose to sit out back, which felt like we were in a jungle! The atmosphere was amazing. After a short wait our food arrived, which was good; not great, just good. Everything we ordered was your basic breakfast food. Overall our visit to Kihei Cafe was great and we all left with full bellies. read more

Great local spot in Kihei. I had the loco moco with Kaluah pork and fried rice. My wife had the bread pudding French toast. Both were amazing! The pork was perfectly smoky and rendered. The bacon that came with the French toast was great, not just your everyday bacon. Don't expect to be waited on, it's not that kind of place. You order at the counter, get your drinks and find a table. Totally worth it, check out this local spot! Mahalo! read more

Solid breakfast. More food than you need. Quick service. Loved eating outdoors with the local chickens

I ordered the egg breakfast. The food was brought out 5 min after ordering and it was cold. So l don't know when they cooked it but it was before I ordered it. My husband ordered the Hawaiian Twilight coffee. It is purple and tasted like milk. read more

As always, my starts are based on the food. And it was good! The coffee was very good and hot. The omelet was solid (good amount of cheese, and the onions were not overcooked, which was welcome since the onions were sweet). The papaya, granola and yogurt was of course delicious. I didn't love the French toast, but it wasn't bad, and the fake maple syrup wasn't half bad either. Not reflected in the stars, but the service was good and friendly, and the tables were pretty abundant and were also clean. There was a wait from pretty early, but the line was to order and not to sit. Best to get there when they open at 7 am if you want to beat the morning rush. Prices at not low but not crazy given that we're in Kihei. read more

2259 S. Kihei Rd at the Maui Coast Hotel location At this cafe you can order a kalua pork loco Moco or a kalua pork Benedict, and a kid's pancake shaped like a whale or a turtle! We've eaten Kihei Caffe before in its original ocation further down the road, but I noticed they opened one at the Maui Coast Hotel just around the corner from our residence. At this location you stand in line to place your order at the register and then grab a table, either enjoying the outdoor veranda area, or also a cooler more air conditioned room. By the time we've grabbed a table and our own drinks/silverware, they are calling our name with dishes in hand. We ate here twice, and how fast the food comes out utterly amazes me. I feel like it's faster to eat here than spending time my own breakfast at our timeshare, and much more delicious. The special coffee drinks are good (ube iced lattes and coconut macadamia coffee), and they had these giant cinnamon rolls shaped like huge volcanoes that I regret not trying because we decided to get their also delicious malasadas instead. I definitely recommend Kihei Caffe as a convenient and delicious way to fuel up before you head out for the day. read more

Went here for breakfast. Food was excellent. I had a spinach, onion, mushroom omelette. The omelette was done perfectly except the onions were still raw and strong. The potatoes weee perfect with a crusty outside and a soft centers. My wife had the amazing French Toast. The topping was bananas and chopped Mac nuts. The thick slices of Portuguese sweet bread were dipped and fried so they were a little crusty on the outside and flavorful but not mushy on the inside. Perfectly done. Coffee was good and hot. The place was full. If you want a coffee refill you need to go ask for it. The food was delivered quickly and hot. Seating was a bit confusing. We had to find the pre-line at the left then invited to the ordering line. Then we ordered and paid, given a number and afterward, a host seated us. Worked well but confusing four first time. read more

Easy walk in breakfast spot for locals and tourists in Kihei! We stayed walking distance from here and it was the perfect spot to hit up in the morning for a quick coffee and breakfast. It's also right off the ocean and has plenty of open-air deck space to take in the ocean breeze. The line can be a little long when you first walk in to order at the counter, but once we sat down the food came out super quick. I definitely recommend trying their staple Cinnamon French Toast! It was huge and yummy! read more

Conveniently located at the entrance to the Maui Coast Hotel. Seems to always be busy, which is a good sign. Breakfast was good (hard to mess up bacon and eggs). Prices were ok, although $4 for plain old drip coffee is a little steep. Also, if you don't get your one free refill in the restaurant, you'll get charged another dollar for a to-go cup, but that wasn't really the issue. The counter staff was generally kind of rude. The cashier had just rung up a customer in front of me and motioned me over to order. I was waiting for the previous customer to move out of the way, as there is limited space to maneuver in front of the register. The cashier was getting visibly annoyed because I wasn't crowding all up on this poor woman trying to put her card back in her wallet. The whole time I'm thinking, what does she want me to do? Push this lady out of the way so I can save 10 seconds and order my food? I probably should have just said nevermind and left. It just left a bad first impression. Again, the food was fine, but "Best breakfast on Maui" as they claim? I have my doubts. I probably wont go back and I travel to Maui frequently. read more

Seems like you need to eat here if staying near Kihei so my husband and I came for breakfast on our last day in Maui. It was 8am so the line wasn't super long yet. You stand in line to order and pay and the host will tell you where to sit. You can't grab a table until you have placed your order or at least that's how it was when we went. (I've read differing opinions) We ordered a breakfast burrito and the 2-2-2 special which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon and choice of 2 pancakes or French toast, I opted for the french toast. Something to note is they don't serve plain tap water here, only bottled water. Burrito was very tasty, eggs cooked perfectly. My breakfast was delicious as well although I regret not adding fruit to my French toast. Servers are all friendly. Food is moderately priced and serving size is average. This is a must try when in the area! read more

Lots of items to chose from. I opted for the 2-2-2... 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and 2 pancakes. I added macadamia nuts and bananas to my pancakes. So good! read more

The food was decent, portions are super small for the price. My hubby got the egg breakfast plate and only got 3 sausages lol I had the chia bowl, it was good, not better than the one I make myself at home, but I wasn't upset about it. The ambiance is nice, love the indoor/outdoor and ocean views! Workers were friendly read more

This was an amazing breakfast ! 2:2:1 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon ... best banana and Mac nut pancakes ever with best bacon we have had. Cute location. Great coffee and love the order, sit down, bring food to you process many of the local restaurants have adopted - which this was the model in the mainlands. With coffee x 2, 2 breakfast, 2 upgraded banana and nut topping total was $51 which is good for Maui. Well done ! read more

Food is great! I had the banana macadamia nut pancakes, large portions and great flavor, add some coconut syrup from the table, oh so good! Quick service. The only downfall, the chickens that roam are EVERYWHERE! read more

This is a great breakfast option. It lacks the location of the original but the food is great and the service is lightning speed. I recommend a cinnamon roll to share. Try the loco moco with pork. You won't want need lunch after breakfast here. read more

Standard drip coffee here is flavorful and sweet, not nutty or over roasted like a lot of breakfast spots.

Kihei Caffe is one of the best breakfast spots in Maui. They give so much food and it just tastes so fresh. The service is super quick. We were out of there within an hour. It's always so busy but I feel they serve u pretty quick. If you're in Kihei, u gotta try this place!! read more

Great breakfast and coffee was excellent. Staff very attentive. Ambiance was nice, we were seated outside and table was comfortable for our group of 6. I would recommend this place and go back. read more

I always had good breakfasts at the original Kihei Caffè. We ordered cinnamon roll French toast and we huevos ranchers supreme. The French toast was basically stale cinnamon roll cut in half that was briefly dipped in the egg. The huevos rancheros were served on basically Raw tortillas and not to flavorful. When I asked for Mexican salsa, I was told that it's already on the plate and there was only sriracha and Tabasco. As I was leaving I noticed they did have Mexican hot sauce on another table. The tables are all crammed together and it's very chaotic. Sorry to see this place go downhill. read more

Awesome breakfast! This location has a much shorter wait than the original Kihei Caffe a few blocks down with the 4k+ reviews. They have the same menu but 15-20 min wait at this location vs 1hr+ at the other. I tried the pork fried rice which was decent and highly rated but I wouldn't order it again. I also had the banana macadamia nut pancakes which was delicious along with a side of over easy eggs and Portuguese sausages. The Portuguese sausage was tasty and my fav! I also enjoyed the macadamia nut latte. I would love to come back again, too bad I swung by the morning before my flight back. read more

While in Kihei for business saw this little spot and decided to give it a shot. Overpriced. Tourist trap.

Kihei Caffe is the best! All of the food was very good - we tried corned beef and hash, macadamia banana French toast, and more. Everyone was so friendly, and there was plenty of seating, especially when they opened the side patio and the additional room. The cinnamon rolls were fab, of course, and the coffee also very good. I had the March coffee special, a latte w pandan and it was so yummy I had one every day of my trip. I was staying next door, so Kihei Caffe was my go-to spot and it never disappointed. Oh! And they have coconut syrup - it's not on the tables but they're happy to bring it if you ask and it really makes the French toast incredible! read more

Wanted to try this new location as we had eaten at the original one several times on other visits. We won't be eating here again. The "fresh fruit parfait" is not fresh, it is premade in a plastic container and has very little fruit in it. My scrambled eggs were cold and runny, with liquid running out of them. Biscuit is like a pillsbury store bought biscuit and the potatoes are simply thick sliced and deep fried. Like a thick chip. It all tasted and looked like a free breakfast at a cheap hotel. Very sad. read more

THE FOOD: Satisfying, delicious and the right amount of portions. Reasonably priced for the amount of food. THE SERVICE: The guy taking orders had an uplifting, loud voice. Very welcoming to everyone and moving along fast. There was a line but it went very fast. SEATING: This location, in my opinion is better than the other up the street. Its tables are laid out with more space and you have shade no matter where u sit. Nice clean restaurant. read more

Aloha spirit. Fast service; delicious fried rice. I've only tried the two locations in Kihei. Love going here for breakfast.

I am so sad. This was my go to place for years...the one across from Kalama Park. Last time I was at that location I"the quality and service went way down. We thought we would try this location in the hotel and hope for a better experience. Unfortunately, it was even worse than the other location. What used to be great home fries are now small peelings...seem like they were deep fried. Terrible terrible. The once oversized homemade biscuits now seem like they're thin little Pillsberry doughboy biscuits out of a package. I don't know if they are, but they were terrible as well. Used to recommend this place when visiting Maui but no longer. Not worth the wait. Not worth the expense. And definitely not worth the food. Much better places to go to. read more

Some of my fondest memories of Hawaii, and Maui more specifically are at the Kihei Caffe. In fact, as I sit here at home in Californa, I long for a stack of pancakes that were sooo delicious. Often I think about the very tasty Mahi sandwiches that I ate there on a regular basis. A trip to Maui would not be complete without at least ONE meal (for me, daily) at the Kihei Caffe. I cannot wait to return. (Also important is a note that I have to write. I cannot write this review without mentioning that my heart goes out to the people of Lahaina, Maui after the horrific fires last year. Please support the Maui food bank if you can.) Aloha Maui no ka oi read more

Their coffee special of the day was one of the best coffees me and wife have ever had. Not to sweet and delicious! Got the corned beef hash and the eggs were cooked to perfections, potatoes were good. Wife got the cheese omlette with a bunch of veggies and only issue we had was none of the veggies were really cooked. Service and vibe was great. Awesome coffee, good food, good service. read more

Wow. What a place. All kinds of food going on here. The Loco Moco is the real deal sometime a look at that. Had it with a burger and it was great - minus the gravy. Really nice people here so give it a shot. Be prepared to wait as it's a busy spot. read more
