This is one of those cute, quaint, full-of-character places that are fewer and further between! The menu is extensive - huge cinnamon rolls, eggs all ways, thick pancakes, delectable french toast. The service was fast and the short line moved quickly. Ample parking is available in a lot immediately next door. I only give 4 stars because the outdoor seating... More

We find ourselves here each time on Maui. Definitely a phenomenon breakfast fav. The ordering process threw us off a bit our first time but we cannot believe how quickly they take your order and get it to your table.

This is a great place to go for breakfast food. Keep in mind there is nothing low cal here. If you order biscuit with gravy, you are going to have a plate smothered with gravy. Everything is made to order, you will receive your food piping hot. Prices are low for this area and you get a lot more food... More

We were in town early for a beach day and decided to come in early for breakfast, this place was handy to the park and had a huge line up out the door so we decided to checked it out. The outdoor patio still had room and the line seem to be moving quickly so we thought we would give... More

I had the papaya bowl which was great. Hubby had the veggie scramble which was huge. I had a couple scoops of that because it was so big. We both enjoyed the food, would go back. The lineup is long but they have it moving pretty quickly. We didn't feel we had to wait too long. Our bill was $20... More

Dont worry about their system everyone talks about, the line moves quick and their are plenty of tables. Coffee very pricey. Very friendly to us, but... More

We went pretty early, about 645 am, and there were plenty of open tables even though a large number were occupied with a bible study or something. The guy taking the orders didn't seem to be the friendliest, but other staff who brought out the food seemed very friendly. We tried the pancakes and french toast, both with macadamia nuts... More

Kihei Caffe is open very early for those that want to pick up breakfast before work. The sticky buns and cinnamon rolls are the best on island! The portions are huge and food yummy. The homemade corned beef hash and fried rice are the bomb. You order & pay inside before you grab a seat and they take only cash... More

We like to get up and get sunrise photo's so this place is a natural. The staff reflects that they are happy to be working there. We get there early ,hence no lines.Simply put there is no better breakfast option in Kihei. I do not like lines,as most of us probably do not,so the early morning eatery works well. Very... More

I know this gets great reviews here on Trip Advisor. Finally after 3 1/2 years in Kihei, my wife and I went there for breakfast. Competent breakfast but nothing special. If there is a line, it is not worth the wait in my opinion.
