Their macadamia pancakes and broasted chicken still hit. It's such a family-friendly restaurant. The servers were all very kind, especially with our toddler in tow. Their breakfast plates are so comforting. If I could, I'd eat here all the time. There's plenty of parking. Daddy O's is not too far from the airport, and it's pretty easy to get to if you're in the Lihue area.

Disappointed with this place. The lady who took our phone call when we asked for directions was…read morerude. Google Maps had a hard time directing us to this place--something to do with it being in a rugged square complex. My husband thought his omelette was good but my loco moco was so-so. The staff wasn't welcoming at all. Ambiance? None at all :)

Aloha Kaua'i!…read more Landed in the rain for the Hawai'i Tropical Fruit Growers Annual Conference-and checked Yelp for food ideas, of course! Headed to the golf course after checking reviews-since we were literally minutes away. Loved the massive Ohana of roosters and chicks, noticed how gorgeous and healthy they appeared- and upon exit, saw them getting very well fed! The venue is a walk up with a ramp for those on wheels, restrooms are at the end of the building fronting the parking lot; right past the golf shop. Great menu options, supporting local, including Kaua'i Roastery Coffee, plus great alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage offerings. Many a golfer came in for nice, tall, and chilled cans of varying refreshment to take out:). And my co worker is pretty sure her spaghetti mac salad had ULU!!! (That's breadfruit:)!) I had the sweet bread tuna melt with fries-filling and yum! Perfect sweet bread with tuna and cheese, and the fries were way good-maybe double dipped/fried? I had to take out half the sandwich as leftovers. My co worker had the ginger fried chicken plate and she whacked it, rice, salad, chicken and all. Must have been good! Considering the late afternoon hour, a good number of tables were already taken, one with a group of 6 and others who were clearly there for the mainland sport games on the big screen TVs. (A little weird with three TVs all blasting different channels though, since they were all in the same corner.) Optional ample outdoor lanai seating, where you can also watch the golfers. Ample parking in front as well, which was pretty full with golfers considering the refreshing/sometimes pelting, rain. Hey, here were call it liquid sunshine! It was great to enjoy our late lunch/dinner here, can't wait to dig into the apple cruller I got for today's breakfast. (They get it from a local bakery.) Very reasonably priced and well portioned! Enjoy your visit!

For this visit , I Got 2 large coffees ($5.50) and the Jalapeño bagel egg sandwich with bacon cheddar spread ($14.) . Wow- super yummy, the bagel was fresh-baked in house, perfect chew with a nice jalapeño kick, egg fluffy and bacon + cheddar spread melted just right. I am not a fan of bagel since the ones I had were hard to chew but this one hits different. Coffee was strong and hot, perfect Kauai morning fuel. Opens at 6AM, The lines are long but they move, worth the wait. Charming little bakery with fresh ocean views when you exit the shop, true family-owned vibe, super friendly hard working staff. You can tell everything is made from scratch -- they're famous for the fresh-baked bagels and banana pudding for a reason. The cinnamon rolls are huge with pecans, looks so tempting but I had to limit my sweets & carbs. "The Banana definitely is Jammin here", at The Jammin Bakery & Cafe , I can't wait to be back!!

Definitely come check this restaurant out. It's one of the best places I've tried in Kauai so far!

I'd highly recommend the BRAH-vacado, garlic butter was amazing and the lox bagel w/ tomato & sprouts. My mom loved the cosmic lavender latte and my sister loved the chai, I got a sugar free hazelnut latte and it was my favorite thing- it didn't have that bad sugar free taste and was delicious, I couldn't tell it was sugar free. The service is amazing and the ambiance is great too.

My Coconut Ginger Braised Seafood's creamy coconut broth soaked into the small slices of lobster, fish and mushrooms , as well as into the shrimp, making it all so delectable and delicious. The coconut lychee rice was also good. My husband loved his Roasted Lobster Tails. And we both loved the acoustic live music.

The housemade granola tasted so wholesome and natural, and the coffee was smooth, and delicious (as expected in Hawaii!) It opens early and carries a higher price point, but the quality, aesthetic presentation, and loving attention to detail make it worth every penny. We ended up visiting twice during our stay because the bowls and smoothies were just that fresh, delicious, and filling. A total Kauai favorite!

The staff is still incredibly kind and friendly. They were just as welcoming as we remembered, and that alone makes me want to support this place. This time, though, the açaí bowl wasn't quite the same. The base tasted much more like banana than açaí, and there wasn't as much fruit as our first visit. It just didn't feel as balanced or as fresh as the bowl we had before. I still think it's worth checking out because the people working here are genuinely wonderful. I'm hoping this was just an off day since our first experience was so much better!
