Amazing spot just a little bit away from the Main Street in Paia. Hosts are very kind and food was delicious! Smoothies were so good too. They sell local products as well! Support local!

We looked forward to trying this cafe (especially because our friends are vegan/vegetarian), but when we arrived they were closed. Note to owners that it’s ok to shut down your Open Table listing when you’re closed for the day. Maybe we’ll try again on our next visit. The medium review is to warn others, but be fair to the restaurant.

Picked up the car and went straight there for a great lunch. Excellent cheeseburger that energized me for Maui. Wisely snagged some banana bread to go

If you can't find joy dining in this open-air cafe, there are bigger problems. This beautiful, sunny courtyard just puts a smile on your face. Surrounded by pretty flowers, trees and a light breeze...it is quintessential "Hawaii" at its best. The food was good. Fresh ingredients, made to order. I had the banana bread french toast. It was outstanding. My guests had everything from an omelet to the breakfast wrap. All of it was good. The service left very little to be desired. Food from other tables was being brough to our table, drinks took a very long time, waitstaff seemed preoccupied and confused. We received food at our table several times that wasn't ours. No big deal, it got rerouted just fine...but it all seemed a little clunky. And when you would try to solicit some assistance, it fell on deaf ears. Does the medicore service kick this location out of contention for further breakfast visits? Absolutely not. Go enjoy this beautiful little spot...just bring a little more patience than you usually do.

Nice location with ample parking. Delicious food—didn’t look like it would be enough but it was very filling and tasty! I had the Florentine Benedict and the eggs were perfect. My friend had the Seared Ahi Benedict which looked yummy. Son had a heaping bowl of loco moco, and hubby had the pork and hash. Everyone was pleased! The ambience was great—on an outdoor patio. Cool and on the quiet side. Paradise!
