Went here for brunch and was very satisfied! Was seated immediately and server was friendly. The open air atmosphere is very fitting and relaxing. All of us enjoyed the food and coconuts. I started off the meal with a fresh coconut as the beverage. Delicious. I got the eggs benedict with prosciutto and added spinach. It was one of the best I've ever had. I also got the waffle with the maple sauce and berries. I left the berries off and enjoyed them separately. So good. But the waffle itself was already very very good. Not like a typical American Belgian waffle. I also lived in Belgium and know

Lovely outdoor dining Spot ! The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming! I'm think, it's a combination of the Yoga studio next door and genuine, friendly, kind staff! I had the special two eggs, protein, potatoes & toast (1st item on menu). Husband had the breakfast sandwich with home potatoes. Food is delicious and fresh!!! We WILL be back

Absolutely the best place to eat breakfast on the entire island of Maui. This was our second time eating here on this vacation and there were at least 2 other tables who also said this was their second time coming this vacation. Last time I had the French Toast - AMAZING! Last time my wife had the Kalua Pork Benedict. This time around I had the Pork sandwich with a fried egg on top and ordered a side pancake. My wife stayed with the Pork Benny.
We're sad to be going home because we'll miss this great restaurant.

If you enjoy getting away from tourists and resort food, this is the place for you! Come ready to enjoy amazing food in a relaxed atmosphere that says Island! The food is all delicious and well-prepared. From pancakes to smoothies to eggs benedict to Avotoast, all seven of us were more than happy with our meal. Do not go here if you are in a hurry or want to rush off somewhere else. It is a very small outdoor cafe with limited help and an island time approach. Friendly, fun and super way to start your day. Easy parking, expect to have a chicken or two visit under your table.

Really cute cafe with great ambience and kind employees. I got the chocolate bowl and it was really tasty - highly recommend. My only con is that flies are everywhere and will drive you a little crazy as you're trying to eat, but that's not anyone's fault. I came on a Monday at lunch time and there were empty spots in the lot!

Chill hippie vibe at this cute outdoor patio cafe with roaming chickens. We had the banana bread French toast and coffee, green açaà bowl. Both were good but the French toast was not as good as expected. Also, tons of flies to fight off (one even landed in my coffee). Friendly service and pleasant.

Such an awesome stop at the very beginning of the road to Hana. Just a bit off the main drag in Paia and definitely worth the extra few minutes. Atmosphere is awesome. Service is also awesome. Food was pretty darn good, as well. The Kalua pork loco moco was a special and was delicious. If they have it, definitely a must-try. I would definitely suggest asking to make sure the eggs were runny if that's something you like, since ours were all over cooked. I loved the mahi benedict that I got, but it was just a bit under salted. Overall, a really wonderful place! I highly suggest adding it to

We stopped by for breakfast at this cute little cafe on our way to Road to Hana. It has all outside seating. We tried their Eggs Benedict, toast, sausages and some eggs and some coffee too. The food was really good and so was the vibe around this place. The servers were really nice and friendly. Definitely worth trying on your way to Road to Hana while you are in Maui.

Maui's hidden gem! Son, Ty found this place via Google, the ultimate breakfast island experience, 11th day of Hawaiian Vaca.! Atmosphere is peaceful, comfortable and staff pleasant, being busy on a Saturday morning! Ample parking which is hard to find in Paia. The menu is fresh and locally sourced. There are many options for gluten free, vegetarian and you can load-up on carbs too! The smoothies are soooo good, coffee awesome!! Exceeded expectations, we shall be back! Thanks Island Fresh Cafe'

The food was amazing. We were staying in Kihei, and all the breakfast places were closed. Unless you want to wait in a long line forever. We drove 20 minutes to Paia. Found this place on Yelp. Only one person head of us. Let's just say we went the very next day.
Everyone was helpful and nice. Very friendly. We first sat in the sun and we asked to be moved because I was already sun burned. They moved us to an private outside area. It was so peaceful and nice.
The food..: ooooh the food. The first day I got the fish eggs Benedict. The second day, Royale (salmon) egg Benedict. Both very delicious

This place was probably our favorite breakfast spot.
This place is so cool. Recently me and my friends came here and super excited to be at at a more low key spot. We got there somewhat early but still was greeted by a packed parking lot. We ended up just parking on a cement part of the side road across the street(later to find other cars doing the same).
When we arrived we were sat right away. The 1st time we came here I got the Loco Moco. The 2nd was the Prosciutto Benedict. The Loco Moco was just ok. I eat a lot in California because I'm lucky to have an authentic Hawaiian Restaurant

A good breakfast spot /pit stop with some great aloha ambience.The decor is refreshing .The service was good and I noticed everyone was masked.We ordered Banana bread french toast and chocolate bowl.I was having high expectations about banana french toast after reading some great reviews about it but somehow it didn’t tickle my taste buds to the expected level. The chocolate bowl was good.
