Kihei, South Maui
South Maui's Famous Big-Portion Breakfast Line
Kīhei Caffe, at 1945 S. Kihei Road, is a casual breakfast-and-lunch spot that HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice voters ranked No. 1 for Maui breakfast or brunch. The menu runs from pancakes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, and loco moco to eggs Benedict, omelets, burritos, sandwiches, and burgers; cinnamon rolls are a well-known favorite. Online-ordering prices showed a breakfast burrito at $13.95 and an omelet at $12.95; coffee drinks ran $5–$6.50.
Listed opening hours disagree across guides (anywhere from 5 AM–6:30 AM to 2–3 PM), but every source has it closing mid-afternoon, so treat it as a daytime-only stop. The phone is (808) 879-2230. One guide describes a line that usually forms around 7 AM, and an older guide called it cash-only, so bring cash to be safe.
