    French toast with bacon and sausage

    What an unexpected gem! A home cooked breakfast with love Thank you for your generous hospitality!

    This is a nice, mom and pop ran coffee Cafe that is a little pricey but worth it. Not too much of these cafes are still in business. Simple menu with delicious breakfast. Its small but you can take your order on the go which is what I normally do. My favorite is the Eggs Benedict with hash brown and Canadian bacon. They have a simple coffee menu, that everyone would enjoy. They also have fresh fruit smoothies. The ambiance is low key and tranquil.

    So glad I stumbled on this cafe. Owned by an Uncle and Auntie who are super sweet and kind. There's knick knacks from all over and a wall of foreign currency. It's just them that work there so don't be in a rush if you come here. Very generous portions and certainly worth the wait.

    Vegetarian omelette (house special, not on menu)

    Such a cute mom and pop shop. Owners are super nice and love tourists to express where they are from. Food was delicious and big plate servings. Left super full! Definitely coming back

    This is the cutest cafe! My boyfriend and i stopped here before heading to the airport on our way out of Maui and this couldn't have been a more perfect spot to have breakfast. We both got the banana pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon plate and it was a huge plate of yummy food! Just what we needed. The pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had! The owners are super sweet and the guy told us he picked the avocado from his garden this morning. 10/10 recommend coffee was great too!

    Scrambled eggs. Portuguese sausage and hash browns. The pancakes were excellent!!

    The food was excellent as was the service!! The atmosphere was also very fun and eclectic.

    Cozy cute Small hole in the wall establishment in the Wailuku industrial area. Service was great although I think it's just two people working. Food came out in a decent amount of time and was DELICIOUS! simplest meal yet so comforting. Definitely revisiting when I am back on Maui

    Blueberry pancake combo was huge

    We came here twice on our trip. Our first time we had the French toast and the biscuits and gravy. The food was plentiful and delicious. This time we had the sausage croissant and the blueberry pancakes combo. The food is incredible and the service is friendly and hospitable. We love the atmosphere as it is a small quaint cafe. We will be back on our next visit, mahalo!

    Ono food. Small cute cafe. Food came out a little slow but was good quality food would recommend coming. Maybe have like 5 tables.

    Banana pancake with meat plate.

    Food is big portions. I had the banana pancakes with meat plate. The hot banana was delicious. The eggs Benedict were tasty. Biscuits and gravy were good, but not the best. Coffee was a little pricey at $5 for brewed coffee but it tasted good. Good service. For sure a hole in the wall find. We would return.

    Inaccurate hours.

    The last 4 times I've show up here for lunch they've been closed before 1pm and once before 12pm. If I'm driving 30 minutes across the island to eat here at least change your hours so I don't expect a different result. That's basically 100% failure on 4 out of 4 chances for them to adhere to the hours they themselves have set. Their food is good but not worth the waste of gas money. The only thing they specialize in is disappointment.

    Yummy!

    Want local eats? Headed to Hana? Stopped here on the road to Hana and were welcomed in with smiling faces. Throughout the duration of our meal many people stopped by. This delicious cafe is inviting and eclectic. It's giving mom and pop and homey ambiance. A large world map for you to pin where you're visiting from and a US map just below to get specific. Very cool. Push the singing fish yes, your dad wasn't the only one with the Billy Bass Singing fish. Nostalgic A variety of menu options: Blueberry pancakes: (combo) two large fluffy pancakes topped with whip topping and blueberries, scrambled egg, sausage, and bacon. Good and large serving good to share. French toast: served with sausage and bacon (pictured) Spam breakfast combo: spam, hash brown, egg, toast Croissant sandwich: egg, cheese, bacon and sausage breakfast San which. Delicious and large. (extra charge for croissant bread) They also have coffee, lattes, smoothies etc. Tons of lunch options I would return. Parking in the shopping center, restroom key upon request. Great service. Made to order.

    Stumbled upon this local place while driving through looking for a breakfast and I am so happy we stopped. This is definitely a local place with the sweetest owners! The place is very small but the food portions are great and the food is delicious. I definitely get old school vibes from the place and it's not an updated, main stream café but these are the places we love to support when coming to Maui. I 10/10 recommend them!

Ended up ordering: -Ale Battered Onion Rings ($15.75) -Turkey Club ($22.50) -Beef & Pork Burger ($22.99) -Wedge Salad ($16.75) Those Ale Battered Onion Rings hit the app spot! Beer-battered in house and come with chipotle mayo dipping sauce, fried & light, not overly greasy, good with them using sweet Maui onions! Brother wasn't too hungry, so he ended up getting a Wedge Salad (LOL) but with extra bacon. Looked good too! Mom & wifey shared the Turkey Club - that was a BIG @$$ sandwich! Roast turkey breast with Applewood smoked bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato between 3 slices of thick rye bread! Buggah was stacked! They both liked it, lean turkey with the fatty bacon, and the texture contrast of the fresh veggies made it tasty! My Beef & Pork Burger was a test to my cholesterol levels LOL! Near 1/2 pound burger made with ground chuck, cooked medium rare and topped with a pile of house roasted Kalua pork, lettuce, tomato, onion, crispy fried onions and BBQ sauce...was indeed a tower of a burger! Was pretty damn ono too! Burger got good char from the grill, and the kalua pork was flavorful and not dry at all. This burger didn't need a slice of cheese at all! Delicious!

We've been coming here for years and I've always enjoyed my experiences here, but last night I had a dish that compelled me to write a review. The oxtail soup which is listed as a favorite is a dish I've been eyeing for a while, but it's usually been too warm for me to crave it. But last night was the night. I'm getting over a cold and it's been raining off and on for weeks. The bowl arrived at the table with a plate underneath - smart move because it takes some work to eat oxtail soup. Armed with my fork and spoon, I went at it. The first taste floored me. It was perfectly seasoned and I could taste the fresh ginger, the broth was a beautiful brown color, there was plenty of napa cabbage and it came with a dish of a scoop of glossy steamed rice and steamed carrots, zucchini and broccoli. Our waitress offered to bring over condiments so I went for the soy sauce - sprinkled on the rice and veggies, I noticed that the veggies might have had a little sesame oil flavor on them so that made me happy. A spoonful of rice dunked into the broth with some of the tender fall of the bone oxtail meat, and a little crunch of the napa cabbage and I was in absolute heaven. I tasted my husband's pork adobo and that was equally as delicious as always. But that soup - that's what really did it for me last night and stays with me today. I walked out of Tante's with a swollen and happy belly and a fresh, tiny piece of ginger stuck between my teeth...a treat for later.

The food was great and so was the service. The prices were good and the portions were generous. I had shoyu chicken and my husband had ribs. Neither one of us were able to finish ours and we wanted to because it was delicious. The meat just fell off the bone. I did order a piece of cake to go. After getting back to our room I realized it was an ice cream cake so even as full as I was I tried to eat some cake before it all melted. The had the place decorated all up for Christmas. The lady that waited on us was super nice and kept our drinks filled. I love that attention.

    Imagine finding excellent German/Swiss cuisine on Maui?…read moreBrigit & Bernard's Garden Cafe is just that place. Tucked in a quiet industrial area of Kahului, it is an oasis of delectable treats. The outside lanai is so comfortable and covered from the elements. We have gone there for years, and have always been warmly greeted by the owners. Tonight was no exception when we joined some good friends. The sausage appetizer is superb with your choice of pork or veal bratwursts served with red cabbage and tasty mustard. The Schweinsfilet (Hunter's cutlet) with its flavorful mushroom sauce was delicious. I always get the Wienerschnitzel which is huge, pan fried to perfect crispness yet tender and juicy inside. I ordered extra mushroom sauce to enhance the flavor. For sides, we love the red cabbage, sauerkraut, au gratin potato and spaetzle. Their beer and wine selection goes so well with their dishes. I've had their tasty strudel for dessert in the past. We look forward to dining again for dinner or lunch. Ausgezeichnet!

Everything on the menu is served all day except the breakfast so of course we had to come back. Staff is amazing and so friendly. They were great at explaining the menu and our options. I do have to mention that the breakfast staff was more on it with the water. The food was pretty standard for breakfast. After my cousins egg white omlette came, I wanted that. It looked so good. The mushroom omlette that I ordered was okay. It could have been better. The eggs were not fluffy but hard and overall a little tasteless. Maybe adding some garlic or garlic salt as I dont really care for ketchup on my mushrooms. The bacon & cheese saved the omlette and it was funny that I ordered light cheese and got a whole lot of it! It was good after adding salt and pepper. I dont recommend ordering the Lebowski unless you have a light appetite. It only gives 2 peices of meat. A little sad there was no fried rice. Overall, staff was great, food was good and the restaurant is very bright and open. Maybe I'll order my usual next time (Eggs Benedict). I'm rarely disappointed with that.
