I was feeling something nutritious and healthy so I headed to Java Cafe here in Kihei. It's a nice…read more"COOL" spot (literally cool AC here) to hang out at when you want a refreshing break from the south side heat. They have an assortment of sandwiches, toasts, wraps and bowls as well as hot, cold and blended drinks and an open fridge near the register with water, canned drinks and fresh pressed juice as well. If you dine in, they'll give you a number and deliver your food to your table. There's a water, utensils, and condiment station along with a rack to put your dirty dishes when you're done. I got an Iced Chai Latte with Almond Milk which is delicious especially since I am a Chai lover. And my go to is the Smashed Avocado Toast with feta crumbles, sprouts and a few cherry tomatoes. I always add an egg for protein but you have the option to add 2. I kept staring at the pastries in the glass showcase near the register so after finishing my toast, I treated myself to a Cinnamon Roll (baked and delivered by a local Argentine bakery-Momona) & that was the best decision of the day LOL! I mean I'm not a cinnamon roll person but this was flaky, crispy, oozing with Cream Cheese frosting! Everything you'd ever want your cinnamon roll to be! I would literally come back just for this. I did wish it was a tad on the affordable side since everything together was maybe $25-30. I definitely wouldn't come here often but not bad if you'd like a good drink and pastry once in a while.

It's been a long while since I came to Wailuku Coffee Company. Market Street is always busy and…read moreparking is not really available on the street unless you use the Parking Structure (which is a close walk) but I get lazy at times and want to park close by. Since it was Sunday, I decided today was the day. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur because of a health condition I have and caffeine can affect me but I do love coffee (even if it doesn't love me) but I'll usually go with a Tea option or Smoothie. I decided on a simple smoothie so I got the Keiki Smoothie with Banana, Strawberry and Apple Juice. I asked the waitress what sandwich is the most popular and she said the Turkey Pesto Melt and boy did that hit! It really was the BEST sandwich. It was on a crispy, flaky...and might I add...buttery croissant with thick slices of turkey, tomato, creamy pesto aioli and melted provolone! It came with some chips and dill pickle on the side. The only downside was the price-it was about $17 so I'm sure I'll treat myself once in a good while to this. My small smoothie was $8 but refreshing nonetheless. I love the vibes inside with hanging plants and art work throughout. There was someone doing remote work or school in the corner with her sleepy golden retriever next to her, a few locals outside and some visitors inside. The workers are friendly and I saw one clean the outside tables right away after a few parties left. A nice spot to hit up for some nice breakfast, lunch and a coffee with a friend.

She actually remodeling to be able to do even more. We also had a nibble of her macadamia nut spread and macadamia nut butter on some locally made sourdough bread (6/5). It was all so good.

Tell me you don't want me to be here without actually saying, "I don't want you here."…read more We've been coming to Grandmas for over 10 years, and it's always been one of those comfy, cozy places that just feels good. This visit felt really different. Today we brought family visiting from off-island after a walk on Thompson Road. We decided to stay and dine in instead of taking it to go. Looking back... maybe takeout would've been the better option. Ugh. I honestly hate writing this. The only reason I am is because I'm hoping someone from the Grandmas team reads this and actually cares enough to make some changes. If you don't know, you can't grow. Today our experience looked like this: * Watching several people get served after us even though we ordered first. Waiting for almost 30 minutes. * Our order getting mixed up and handed to the wrong person * Confusion about what muffins were available... okay fine, I'll take a blueberry muffin. Then halfway through eating it, I found a hair baked into it * Ordering potatoes without onions because of an allergy, having it made wrong twice, and needing it redone * Noticing the restaurant itself looked like it could use a deep cleaning, including ceiling fans with layers of dust And maybe this was just an off day, but the staff vibe felt... off too. Disconnected. Kind of cliquey. Like everyone seemed more interested in talking amongst themselves than serving guests. The warm, welcoming feeling Grandmas always had just didn't feel like it was there today. As a customer, I honestly felt like I was intruding or inconveniencing the staff just by being there, and that's a really strange feeling in a place we've loved for so long. That's honestly the part that made me the most disappointed. We've loved Grandmas for years, which is why this was tough. After reading several other reviews, it seems others may have had similar experiences too. I really hope things improve and staff morale lifts, because as customers, we feel it. Mahalo for reading. I truly hope this helps and leads to positive changes.

Without the internet or a recommendation, I don't know how anyone would find this spot. It's in a little commercial area and is tiny inside. They have maybe six tables of various sizes and a bar along the windows. It's literally a mom-and-pop place, just an auntie and uncle running it, her in the front, and him cooking in the back. They have a fun eclectic collection of collections including money and map pins from around the world. She was super friendly in the front, sharing about all the things she's collected. Their menu is simple, pretty much eggs and meat. Everything is cooked to order and simply delicious. Coffee is a blend including locally sourced beans. Prices are reasonable but I wouldn't say cheap. It also seemed popular for large to go orders. It's worth checking out.

Though I don't get to go as often as I like, I was able to dine recently and noticed the menu changes. The new mushroom pasta dish was a winner! Bread and dips appetizer was tasty, but we had way more dip than bread. Growing up in Indiana, we were taught to appreciate a good portion of bread. It was okay though because we saved the dips to dip our pizza crust in. I was SO sad that the old braised pork pizza is gone. I lived for that spicy red sauce and lilikoi butter combo! My family and I were all looking forward to it and were a little underwhelmed by the new, more basic pork pizza option. I completely understand that menus change, and I actually enjoy trying new things. BUT... please bring it back. And the potato!! The new chicken dish was a satisfactory replacement for the duck that my husband loved, and I don't want to be that person, however... I think it would be so much better with a small salad like the duck used to have, and like the other fish entrée includes. Maybe it's my new fit girl perspective, but I do love a little something green on the plate. It needs that freshness to balance out all that salt, and the basic presentation is almost too simple for a chicken plate over $40. Lastly, PLEASE find a way to serve espresso at dinner?! The sign outside the building explicitly lists "pizza, gelato, espresso." It's a bummer to me and many others who are hoping to enjoy an espresso at the end of a lovely Italian-style meal, only to be let down with very little explanation as to why this is not an offering. But, as always, we loved our overall experience. The staff is genuine and seems to truly care about the food and beverages they serve. Just please bring back the pork pizza how it used to be, and let me have an espresso shot with my olive oil gelato... please :-)

Being from California, I'm definitely spoiled when it comes to matcha and coffee shops. Maui is a…read moremuch smaller, less urbanized island, so after a few days I was honestly starting to miss the endless coffee options back home. Early Bird completely scratched that itch though. Early Bird could absolutely compete with some of my favorite spots in California. Matcha Ube -- 5/5 The matcha was strong and actually tasted like matcha instead of disappearing behind milk and sugar. The ube foam complemented it perfectly, adding a creamy sweetness without overpowering the earthy matcha flavor. Such a good combination and easily one of my favorite drinks I had on the island. It's also easy to pair with a stop at the Cinnamon Roll Place, so you can basically hit two birds with one stone and make a little coffee + pastry run out of it. I went around noon on a Thursday and there was no line at all, which apparently can be hit or miss since other reviewers mention it getting pretty busy. Definitely one of the coffee spots I'd come back to whenever I'm in Maui.
