Cafes near Lihue

“Haven't been here since 2019, well it hasn't changed; the parking lot is full and the tables was almost to capacity. Tip Top is nostalgic, memories, flooding back to my childhood days. Took the Cousin here for breakfast. She ordered the grand slam and pancakes and I ordered the small order of oxtail soup. My other cousin, on Oahu mentioned I should try the oxtail soup. It was good, if you're allergic to peanuts, that's not for you.. The broth had a hint of star anise and five Chinese spices; ok I'm not an expert on spices; that's what I tasted. Bowl with fill with long rice, slices of won bok cabbage, sprinkle of peanuts, match-slices of sliced bamboo shoots, and green onions, accompanied with small plate with a big scoop of white rice, side of grated ginger and Chinese parsley and an extra small empty plate for your oxtail discarded bones. Atmosphere is casual a lot of local people and visitors as well .“

“We loved this place and highly recommend it! It's a little hard to find, and the decor lacks a bit, but the delicious food &drinks, and such friendly & fun staff makes up for it in spades! There were locals playing live music and the staff treated us to a dance unplanned. We highly recommend stopping in!“

“I don’t care what anyone says. This is my all time favorite little store to go to for treats and drinks. Their boba is AMAZING!! If anyone says other wise are the stupidest people ever. This place is so underrated!!! It’s deserves more customers!!! And the price you pay for is amazingly good in my price of what I want!! Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly! Love the atmosphere!“

“I've come here a couple times before and it's always my last meal in Kauai and it has never before disappointed. Luckily there wasn't much of a line and I was able to order my food quickly. It can get a little hectic inside as there can be lots of people getting different things from the cashier or the kiosk with a bunch of different foods and drinks. If you decide to eat here there is a nice view of all the gates and planes taking off. I got the chicken katsu plate to go. I waited for a little bit for my food and picked up some soy sauce for my rice when my order was ready. I took my lunch plate to my gate to enjoy. The chicken was crispy and not dry. I also had two scoops of rice and some Hawaiian mac salad. It also came with some delicious dark katsu sauce that was perfect for dipping the chicken in.This last meal on the island really hit the spot and I recommend it before heading home or to your next destination.“

“Long wait due to only one woman handling the orders and drinks and handing out the food. But the food came out in 5-10 minutes is very good and filling. Had the French toast with bacons d eggs and loved it. Wife had the veggie fried rice with eggs and was very tasty. Paper cartons and plastic silverware so very casual. Find a table or spot in the plaza to sit and eat.“

“Absolutely fabulous passion fruit and cheese danish. Would return for that absolutely! I hesitate to say that the chocolate croissant I also got had too much butter because I know that’s a very key component of any croissant, but it did seep out of the croissant when I squeezed it. I will be returning for the passion fruit but maybe not for the chocolate croissant. Wonderful regardless.“

“Day 2, and back again. Started with the Poi Malasadas which are fresh, hot and totally delicious. But what brought us back was the bagel and egg sandwich... big Dave dreamt of it last night. A good value for the cost and an unexpected flavor combination. Service is fast but since things are made to order may take a bit depending on how many orders are ahead of you.... Hence the poi malasadas to take the edge off. you don't want to see big Dave hungry... just saying. Seating is in the back of the grocery store... on picnic tables inside... but you can take it to go and sit outside in a park or over in the outdoor mall across the St. Highly recommend.“

“Nice soft serve and coffee/frappe place with lots of options (check out the picture attached!). Some cakes and sweets too. It is located by the beach, making it perfect to enjoy with a nice view. Staff was friendlyDietary restrictions: Gluten-free cakes, and most drinks are allergen-free. Staff was happy to check ingredientsParking: Parking lot in front of the store, next to the beach“

“It's a decent café. They have lots of things to choose from, from breakfast to children's games. The Chai tea latte and cheese Danish have been my go to straps for breakfast. The kids get cereal cups and they provide milk at the counter. It's so nice they have almond milk as an option for those that do not drink cows milk. I gave four stars because the wait in the morning can be very long.“
