We stopped in here after a trike flight with Big Sky Kauai. Had the fish sandwich and coleslaw which were excellent. Coffee and hibiscus iced tea were outstanding. In fact, we liked the meal so much, we came in two days later and ordered exactly the same meal! Service was friendly and professional. The owner (I believe) helped expedite service... more

Hanapepe was a small deserted town and they only had couple of places to eat. So we chose this Cafe. It was a small but nicely decorated family owned restaurant. We had tilapia fish sandwich with coleslaw for lunch. It was delicious! The bakery section looked very fresh and appealing as well. more

A very unique local cafe. We ate the mango turnover and the Hawaiian cinnamon/honey bun with macadamia nuts. They were delicious and very nice service. A bit off the beaten path but a good stop for breakfast or a snack. more

Over the summer I spent my birthday on the island of Kauai. I stayed first in Waimea in a rental home up along the Waimea River.

We made reservations for 6:30 on a Friday evening ( art night) and were seated promptly. The dishes we had were excellent. The stir fried rice with vegetable, nuts and fruit was served with seared ahi and tasted fantastic. The other meal was a vegetarian lasagna with artichoke hearts - extremely large portions that we had to box and take... more

Friday night dinner is a must. There were 8 of us and all 4 entrees were ordered by people at our table: Seared Ahi, Puntanesca pasta, spinacn lasagna, Thai feast. Remarkably good, prepared quickly, with friendly and efficient service. No wine so bring your own. Outstanding slack-guitar music throughout dinner. We will go back, it is a Friday night must... more
