When the waffle iron is busted, I order pancakes for breakfast
Richard W.

Best cafe in Kihei. Love the original in midtown but the cafe in Maui Coast rocks. Cleaner, less crowded, same wonderful food and staff.

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.

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.

Good choices were made here going with the viral pancakes everyone talks about!! Everything was so efficient and delicious!! I will recommend this place to anybody

Breakfast Burrito

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!

French toast

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Steak rice and eggs. Standard diner fare but was def not even as good as what you can get at A Denny's. Disappointing
Mick M.

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.

Signage outside of entrance

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.

Hands down, the BEST Hawaiian shave ice we have ever had! We loved Ululani's so much that we came…read moreevery single day during our visit. Yes, it was THAT good! For me, the biggest standout is the texture. The shave ice is incredibly fine, soft, and fluffy -- none of that crunchy, icy texture you sometimes get elsewhere. It practically melts in your mouth, allowing all those delicious flavors to come through beautifully. Do NOT skip the mochi and snow cap! The mochi is some of the best I've ever had, adding that wonderfully soft, chewy texture to contrast with the fluffy shave ice. And the snow cap (a rich drizzle of sweetened condensed milk) is the perfect finishing touch, bringing a creamy richness that takes the whole thing to another level. These toppings are absolute must-haves! The only downside is that the line can get pretty long during peak hours, so be prepared to wait a little. But honestly, it's worth it, especially on a hot Maui day. Ululani's became our daily dessert ritual during our trip, and I would happily go back again and again. If you're visiting Maui, put this on your must-try list. Just remember: Get the mochi, add the snow cap, and don't leave Maui without trying it!

The Line is worth it!…read more So good and refreshing. The taste are natural and not overly sweet. The Macadamia Nut ice cream is fantastic! We will be back 2x before we leave Maui.
