On a recent visit to Maui, I knew I wanted coffee and hearty food and this place popped up as recommended. 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. read more

I visited Vanta Cafe on an early Saturday morning. Our visit was good, if you're looking for mom and pop diner this is it. Hospitality was good as well. The food was well priced. Unfortunately I also noticed that some condiments were expired and there were some sort of tiny bugs on the walls. I wish I could give a higher rating but due to these issues I cannot. read more

OMG, i'm not sure what I loved more, the hospitality, the coffee or the food! They have toys for children to play with too! The photos and maps of Maui are wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We were starving after landing in Maui and checked this place out as it seemed to offer food for my picky eater kids. The food was SO good, some of the best pancakes I've ever had!

However, it might not work for large groups. read more

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.

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.

Vanta Cafe - Banana pancake with meat plate. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

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. read more

Such a quaint and cute, and authentic place to stop for breakfast. This is not a glitzy or glamorous Hawaii breakfast - this is a homey mom and pop shop, interact with the owners, get a home-cooked meal type vibe. Which I LOVE! There are a lot of trinkets and toys on the walls and shelves so prepare your eyes. I got spam and eggs, which I was dying to get during my trip to Maui. Delicious and simple (picture attached), 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to return! read more

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! read more

This little place oozes charm and homeliness. Korean leaning menu, the dumpling ramen is delish. When we were there for breakfast (failed Haleakala sunrise attempt) we were the first ones there and it quickly filled up with another couple on the bistro seating, and another table of friendly Korean ladies. The place is full of knickknacks and map of the world full of pins marking what city every visitor is from. Very charming read more
