Highly recommended! Decent prices and delicious food! I loved the Loco Moco and ube coffee here. The service was awesome as well! I wish I came back before we left but I'll be sure to come back on my next visit. The restaurant is being renovated so you'll be eating outside next to the pool. There is another sit down location if you're more interested in that. read more

We got tons of recommendation to try out this place when we come to Maui. This did not disappoint, best breakfast places I've ever had!! My boyfriend got the prime rib loco moco and updated to the pork rice which was a special. The gravy really hits differently in Hawaii (we are from Vegas). I got the pork fried rice and eggs. My god, it was so good. And they gave a pretty big serving, I couldn't finish all my food. My overeasy eggs were just perfect. We also got a side of buttermilk pancakes. I wish I got a picture before devouring the whole thing. The butter was creamy and didn't turn into melted butter immediately. The syrup they give me, FIRE. We did decide to order it to go and eat at the beach since the dining area was packed. Literally a quick 2 mins drive. We got the order under 10 mins and that's with the place fully packed. This is a must try!!! read more

We accidentally came upon the newer restaurant on our way to the older restaurant and we're happy that we did when we arrived around 9 AM there was no line at all and like all the other Maui restaurants you pre-order your meal, find a table,pick up your drinks at the the drink counter and then wait for your name to be called and they come and bring you your breakfast. We had French toast and omelette and were all satisfied with the meal and service. I had seen an Instagram post showing the specials and although they didn't have the seafood omelette, I was still satisfied with the omelette that I ordered. I won't divulge the address, hoping that it won't be as popular and attract more big lines. The newer location has a more modern atmosphere that was clean . we will definitely be back here again for breakfast in a few years hoping that the word doesn't get out because when we left the long lines began. The pre-order lines make it seems longer because they have to take everyone's order rather than getting seated and getting a menu and ordering your meal, Iam not quite sure if I like the system. read more

I'd recommend it for others not so much for me. Lovely setting but parking is limited. Not a fan of grab a menu, place your order, get hit up for a tip before you even get any real service, go sit down, and wait for someone to bring your order yelling your name. The food was good. The sourdough toast was excellent. Service MEH. Server asked if I wanted jelly for my toast and I said yes. Never saw her again. Got my own when I went for a refill on my coffee. Yes, you have to go back to the counter if you want more coffee. Not a fan of the business plan. Try it out for yourself and tell me what you think. read more

We come here for breakfast usually on Sundays or when in Kihei. There's lots of choices and the portions are shareable. Order inside before you sit down. Service if fast and friendly. There is only outdoor seating available. The beach and park is across the street. It has a relaxed and casual vibe. It can get hot but the umbrellas help. They only have water for purchase so bring your own water bottle or pay. If you're in the area must try! read more

This year we decided to eat here for our last meal in Maui before boarding our plane.We checked out of the condo and arrived here around 11. Since we love their breakfast food, we split an omelet and Banana Macadamia French toast. Of course, we had to cover the french toast with coconut syrup! As always the food is delicious, quick service, and I love that they have staff outside who quickly clean off the tables and seat us. We'll be back next year! read more

Don't be intimidated if the line is out the door-it typically moves quick! The coconut syrup is a must try. I loved sitting outside facing the road and people watching. Chickens hang out but please don't feed them! read more

We had found Kihei through social media, we decided to give it a try and were impressed. Although the food was a little heavy it was so good and you definitely get a bang for your buck! The pancakes were so fluffy and got better within each bite and you definitely gotta try it with the coco syrup. Moco loco was really good but in our opinion, the gravy was a little too salty for us but overall delicious! They do have a $2 up charge for everything/anything eggs due to the shortage. The service was okay, just kinda straight to the point of "what can I get you" we did wait a good minute but they also had started to get flooded. We had just gotten the two platters, no drinks, and the total was $40. Seating is very limited in front of the restaurant but you can seat yourself at the other tables at other restaurants near it read more

My fiancé and I shared the loco moco with pulled pork and scrambled eggs ($18.95) and the banana and macadamia nut pancakes ($11.95). We came for breakfast on a Friday at 8 am, and there was a little bit of a line, but the food came out quickly, so we were finished within an hour. The loco moco was tasty, and the gravy was the perfect amount and not too overwhelming. The pork was pretty tender, and there was a good amount of pork and eggs. The banana and macadamia nut pancakes were solid. It came with 2 pancakes, and they were large and pretty fluffy. It tasted good with the butter and the banana/nut toppings. They weren't super hot when they came out, and it would be nice if the pancake itself had a strong banana flavor. read more

Great breakfast spot! Kihei Caffe was packed so we took our order back to where we were staying. FYI, they do charge a fee for to go orders. The menu has many options so there is something from everyone. My husband ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered the Loco Moco with Spam. Portions were generous so I was able to have my meal for breakfast and lunch. Although I've had spam, eggs, and rice for breakfast before, the gravy made it even better! Now I want to start doing this at home too! read more

My last visit to Maui was 14 years ago, and I hand fond memories of eating at the Kihei Caffe. It had a laid back feeling with a friendly staff. Now that I'm back on the island, I decided to have my first breakfast at Kihei Caffe. Well, I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in the experience. There's still a line..no problem..the inside has been updated with about 3 TV screens, showing their menu items, but the friendliness and personal charm is missing. My wife and I approached the register, I smiled and provided our choice and there was no aloha friendly warmth. After we ordered and walked back outside, guys were telling people where to sit and instructing people not to seat themselves, but they seemed aloof and indifferent. When my meal arrived, it felt far from my previous experiences from Kihei Caffe. My plate had two eggs, 2 and a half pieces of bacon and some home fries that were cold potatoes that looked and had the texture like yesterday's steak fries. The overall portions left more to be desired. The meal was okay, but definitely not the best breakfast experience to be had on the island. I really had high hopes that Kihei Caffe would be another great experience, but I finished my meal and walked away unsatisfied. read more

Kihei Caffe has been part of my Maui memories since I was about 12 years old. I am now 33, and every single time I return to the island, I make it a point to stop here for a cinnamon roll. The lines are almost always long, but it is absolutely worth the wait and they move fairly quickly. The cinnamon rolls are epic. Do not skip one, even if you have to grab it to go. They are that good. I also love the parfait and the use of local fruit. It is such a fresh and perfect way to start the morning before heading out on a big adventure. The staff is always very sweet, and the location right across from the beach makes it even better. I cannot remember if it is still cash only, but I would recommend bringing cash just in case. If you are staying on the south side, Kihei Caffe is an absolute must. read more

Kihei Caffe - Cinnamon roll & morning coffee - Hawaiian Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Ambiance - I came here on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was decently busy and bustling for brunch/lunch. You order/pay for your food at the counter, and the staff bring out your food, calling your name. The staff always seemed to be really busy, and if you want to get their attention you need to say something as opposed to just standing in front of their counter trying to get their attention with your eyes. I had the loco moco with fried rice and kalua pork. The food was so mid. They charged extra $3 for fried rice & extra $2 for any dishes involving eggs, so my total somehow came to $26 pre tip (I think the pretax price is $16 or $17?). They also gave me overcooked hardboiled eggs (looks like they tried poaching the eggs) instead of sunny side up as requested. The dish was really heavy, and the only silver lining was the big portion of my dish. My friends got some dish with fish and fried banana peppers -- the fried banana peppers were sourly yummy so I liked those, but the fish itself was underwhelming. They also got the ube mochi pancakes which was a special, but the pancakes were void of any ube flavor--they were just sweet with mochi texture, and the color was purple, but ube flavor was almost nonexistent. Overall, there are so many other options nearby or in Maui, and I would not recommend Kihei Caffe. read more

Clean location. Open and airy. Great service and a very good breakfast selection. Cappuccino was perfect!

We had our last breakfast here in Maui! Plan accordingly to your schedule because this place got packed really quickly. How it works: order + pay first, grab your table, then food will be delivered to you while you wait for your drinks inside. Ambiance: Super casual vibes that's saturated with visitors than locals. Outdoor seating only! Service: Cashier was really sweet and friendly. Don't expect check-ins mid meals because the servers only drop off and pick up your food. Food: Tasty! Bananas with macadamia nuts French toast - Super soft (not soggy) French toasts! The toppings really amplified the overall taste and didn't make it too sweet. Chicken fried steaks with eggs - Crazy how they charge extra $3 for gravy for the biscuit... it should be provided for free since the biscuit isn't optional? Otherwise, chicken tasted great and the potatoes were so soft and seasoned really well. read more

Four years ago, I would've told you Kihei Caffe had the best loco moco on the islands. This time, I came back after a whale watching tour, excited to repeat that win. I ordered the loco moco again, and my wife got the fish tacos. We were unreasonably optimistic The loco moco was a letdown on multiple levels. The rice tasted at least one day old, maybe more. You can feel it in the texture. The patty had that cooked-from-frozen quality, again obvious in both texture and meat flavor. The gravy was standard, which is faint praise here. At $~22, it wasn't just disappointing, it felt careless The fish tacos were worse. My wife called them the worst she's ever had. The fish came chopped up like scraps, and the flavor was thin. The preparation felt rushed and incomplete. At $~28, it wasn't even close to worth it Will not be back, and will no longer be telling people this is the best loco on the islands. Heart broken to say that I may even tell them it's the worst loco loco on island read more

Kihei Caffe at Maui Coast Hotel has long been one of our favorite spots for an early breakfast. We were excited to bring our nieces here while they were visiting us in Maui. We ordered at the front counter -- chicken and waffles, fried chicken steak with gravy, eggs Benedict, and French toast with bananas. After finding our seats, the food was delivered at a fairly slower pace. The chicken and waffles portion was enormous, which we appreciated. However, both the chicken and the waffle were unfortunately served cold. The rest of the dishes were perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. We're hoping that on our next visit we'll enjoy the same great flavors -- with everything served nice and hot read more

My annual tribute to my favorite breakfast - corned beef hash with rice and sunny-side eggs (yum). Perfect "wok hei" from the griddle on both the fried rice and corned beef hash. A lot of restaurants forget to give their hash that crunchy finishing touch. Food, service, and ambiance were excellent. A beautiful way to start Thanksgiving with a morning sunrise breakfasting al fresco. read more

Kihei Caffe - Corned beef hash; pork/onion fried rice, topped with two sunny-side eggs; and a biscuit on the side. - Hawaiian Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Apparently, this is a go-to spot on Maui an we were not disappointed. There was so much on the menu here that I wanted to try, but I went with my classic eggs benedict. My husband got the fried rice and the rest of the family had a variety of dishes as well that we all loved. Perfect for morning breakfast or brunch with a small or large party (we were a party of seven). We had a lunch reservation scheduled for 12 and we were so full from breakfast we had to go light on lunch. Service at the register was nice but we do have to complain about the man seating us. We didn't know that there was a person actually seating the parties so after half of us ordered we went to get a table. The signage should be clearer to wait to be seated because the guy approached us with the wrong tone. Then, he seated us inside in the back with all the old memorabilia when we preferred somewhere outside. The food is definitely worth it but be careful of the guy at the host stand. I get it, breakfast can be crazy but it's your job and if this place is as popular as it is everyday, he should be used to it. read more

Fairly underwhelming. The first table we were seated at was swarming with flies and ants were all over the syrup container. Then they moved us inside, where there were tiny bugs that I think were mosquitoes. Not a fan that they charge for water, which is $2 and comes room temperature! The food was fine, but nothing special. We got corned beef hash, mochi pancakes with bananas, and chicken and waffles. One of the pancake plates's bananas were particularly brown looking. I would not come back here, the experience just put me in a lousy mood which is not what I want when I'm on vacation... read more

Came here today it's constantly people coming in out. Parking at the park across the st or by the food trucks and plenty of spots I feel bad now asking was the cinnamon roll fresh. I wasn't familiar with y'all game lol because it was much better than it looked I've been brainwashed by Cinnabon and icing dripping all over. This as definitely worth the $5 and more. 15 mins later and my friends porkchop came. Shocked by how much food was on the plate. She said the pork chop was pretty good but not amazing Midway through she said i feel fat and im full. She took the porkchop to go but said she wouldn't come back. I'm not sure what happened with the orange juice it tasted like water with a sprinkle of artificial flavoring or coloring Flies will be around u and your food. Rooster crowing walking around our tables but i guess thats that authentic feel of dining outside read more

Every time we passed by, it looked pretty busy. We decided to give it a try for breakfast. You have to go inside to place your order and pay. We ordered the fruit and yogurt, granola bowl and the local moco. We found a seat at their patio seating. They will call out your name and they bring it out to you. The yogurt bowl was really good and tasted fresh with strawberries and blueberries. The Moco Loco was good. It didn't scream, the best though. It's very chill vibes there. The place could use some building improvements and some deep cleaning. Otherwise, good food. read more

Kihei Caffe is a wonderful little breakfast joint and it really hit the spot on our last day in Maui. It was a really peaceful morning with beautiful views of the park across the street! I'd highly recommend getting there early (as close to opening as possible), as you'll beat the crowds ANDDDD you'll get to see the scenic sunrise. My husband and I shared an order of banana macadamia nut pancakes, a side of eggs over easy, and a side of their homemade spam. Tiktok hyped up their coconut syrup so I knew we had to try it with the pancakes, and it was good! The syrup had a more subtle coconut flavor than I was expecting, but it was still a great addition and not too sweet (the mac nuts helped balance out the overall sweetness of the dish). The spam was perfectly flavorful and crispy and was the exact savory component I needed in a breakfast. The eggs were just eggs lol. I'd probably return for a quick breakfast if we visited Maui again. read more

Went to try Kihei Caffe after reading many reviews about it. As far as the location goes, it's easy to find. There's not that many seats, but you can actually sit on the other side of the restaurant. Believe it belongs to another restaurant, but we heard the server tell some guests it would be okay for them to sit there. We both ordered the loco moco for the Hawaiian breakfast. We ordered one loco moco with the burger patty and sunny side up with regular rice, and we ordered another but substituted the white rice to fried rice (+$3). They charge a 3% if you use credit card, and they don't accept Amex. Bring cash if you want to save a few bucks. The portion was generous. It was definitely salty if you had it with the fried rice. It was much better with the white rice, as it balanced the saltiness. I think it definitely has the Hawaiian vibe, chicken running around and stuff. But would we come back for the food is another question. But glad we got to try it! read more
