Great team work by the crew! The stuffed French Toast was delicious! Their chef came out of the kitchen to take our order and we were served our food within minutes! The coffee was good too!

Great breakfast stop. I really enjoyed their French toast breakfast. The Punaluu sweet beard was delicious. There was no wait, fast seating, order taken and delivered quickly.

The food here was really good—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I always enjoy finding small, local spots like this because they tend to have a more personal touch, and this place was no exception. The service was also great. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere was simple but comfortable, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I’d definitely come back. If you're looking for good food and a laid-back spot, this place is worth checking out.

I have to admit, I really didn't want to go here, but it was my wife's pick. Man did the food change my mind! Nestled between a laundromat and an MLM front (lol Primerica) is this place that looks more function than form but still tied for first place of all the places we ate it over our two weeks in Hawaii. Not on the menu but you can order a mini stack of the coconut macadamia nut pancakes, but I'm just gonna warn you that all the mini stack is gonna do is make you wish you got the full size! I got the Ono Moco Loco, which was delicious, the mini stack of the coconut macadamia nut pancakes, and my wife got the breakfast burrito. If I make my way back in the future it'll be the mini Moco Loco and the full stack of pancakes! On our way out the chef came to chat with us and thank us for coming. Great guy, delicious food! Shoutout to my wife for this pick!

I’m giving this five stars for the people that work there. The foods not Kihei Cafe or Bacco in Seattle it’s a small restaurant in a strip mall and a local favorite. The food is affordable and the people are great!

We went there for breakfast while we were visiting on vacation and I was blown away. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They got us our food incredibly fast, and the French toast was the best I’ve ever had. Bacon was perfectly cooked. Everything about it was exceptional.
