★★★★☆ 4.0 Big Fish Dive Club · Dec 2025

A great place for brunch/lunch after visiting the nearby Farmers Market. The service was friendly and efficient. The sandwiches were good with fresh ingredients. There were both indoor and outdoor seating areas that were tight, but comfortable.

Dropped by Kalapalai Cafe for a quick breakfast, and it was one of those meals that keeps you thinking. The breakfast burritos were a bit of a culinary puzzle - somewhat bland on their own, but transformed by the accompanying salsa. It's like the salsa was the secret ingredient that turned a plain Jane into a flavor queen. The cappuccino was the real star of the show. Rich, smooth, and reminiscent of a quaint Italian cafe, it proved that great coffee doesn't always need a fancy mug to shine. Served in a simple to-go cup, it was a reminder that sometimes simplicity wins. At around $10 for two burritos, it's a reasonable deal for the area. Not a gourmet experience, but an authentic taste of local dining. The kind of spot that has character, even if that character needs a little seasoning.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Sharpie · Jan 2026

Food was mehhh, overpriced for the quantity. Tomato avocado bagel was terrible, the top half of the bagel didn’t have anything on it. The bottom half barely had any avocado. Beach burger wasn’t that good for the price. The vegan lemon poppy seed muffin was completely dry and disintegrating into crumbs. Deli sandwich and hummus bagel was okay. Customer service was completely terrible. They came out to say not to feed the birds but never ask how the food was or if we needed anything. This was after we spent over $100 for 4 people Terrible service, the manager also told a guy and his daughter to leaver because the stopped to sit and out door table that nobody was using. She’s terrible. No hospitality. If you’re a tourist visiting, Do Not Go here, they won’t treat you good. I would re

We stopped to get breakfast/brunch on our way to Hanauma Bay! It was quick, easy and tasted good! The breakfast burrito was very filling, good amount of meat, salsa on the side was mid. The Italian sandwich was fresh and tasty. Maybe could use a little more meat. Pastries was delicious! Their patio is very cute, a little separated off from the streets by greenery which is nice!

Stopped here for breakfast. Overall food and service were excellent. Limited free parking spaces, otherwise paid street parking is available. Well maintained restaurant, clean restroom, and friendly staff. Gluten-free options are available too.
