The breakfast spot on Maui. Kihei Caffe on South Kihei Road has been fueling surfers, families, and tourists with massive, delicious breakfasts since the early '90s. The portions are legendary — the loco moco could feed a small family, and the pancakes are the size of your head. But don't sleep on the macadamia nut waffle with pineapple (light, fluffy, crispy outside) or that breakfast burrito everyone's raving about.
Yes, you'll wait in line. It wraps around the building on weekends. But it moves fast, the food comes out quick, and you'll be sitting at a picnic table with your feast wondering why mainland breakfast portions ever seemed adequate. The system is simple: order inside, grab a seat, wait for the food runner.
💡 Insider Tip
Get in line by 7:30am on weekends to avoid the 45-minute wait. Study the menu beforehand — the line moves fast and you need to order before you can sit. The macadamia waffle and corned beef eggs Benedict are the local favorites.
