12 Best Cafes near Hanapepe

“BOOKMARK this restaurant! My family ordered the fresh fish salads and plates, Ahi sandwich, Reggie Rings and all of it was delicious and filling. We had to return after a year and it is sooo consistently good. You will never find nicer and attentive service at ANY restaurant on Kauaʻi. Trust me, they ARE the BEST and make you feel like the most important person(s) in the world. The staff are angels. The restaurant is small, but well worth it, even for take out. They really appreciate your business, and you will find few restaurants that match the high quality food, service, and price. This is a Kauaʻi MUST restaurant. Bring your patience since it is small and you will be rewarded 100x's! You will not regret this island jewel. It's also a historical site which makes it real cool to eat at. Read the plaque posted outside. Very neat!“

“Delicious, fresh food. The pizza was a nice surprise, as we didn't see it on the menu. While we were ordering, one of the chefs brought it up and told the woman taking orders it was available. Wow was it delicious! Hanapepe swinging bridge is basically right across the street which was also really fun to see. We will definitely return again when on Kauai.“

“Hands down the best restaurant on the island.We stayed at the Grand Hyatt stunning Hotel, incredible staff. The breakfast feast as we call it out of this world. But I did not find the dinners to be any where near Japanese Grandma Cafe’The food was so good here I found myself in deep intersection on how I would have to prepare food at home to get it here, found new flavors I hadn’t considered before, and Kate our server was delightful.If your on the Island of Kauai and your looking for something special to share with someone you love even if that person is just yourself, look no further.Could not recommend more highly ??Mahalo“

“Popped in for a second while the rest of the family was shopping in the town. The cookies are outlandishly great. I get it that there is a contingent of people (and reviewers it seems) who prefer a soft moist cookie. That's not me. These crisp magical buttery cookies maybe veer more on the shortbread side than a boring soft cookie, but they are easily in my top cookie experience I've ever had. Perfection.My favorite is the Butter Dreams with cornflakes adding an extra crunch texture.“

“Always go when I go back Kauai. Even if Ma guys from Lihue, worth making the trip to Hanapepe to see the grandparents old stomping grounds and grab some chips. I always like the taro and potato chips, but forgot how good the ulu was. I've had ulu chips elsewhere and we make them and it's always oily...but not at Taro Ko. Whatever they do is great. Glad I bought 2 bags ulu this trip (8 total to give as omiyage)...“

“Loved the gift shop, the videos of how coffee is grown from field to store. The coffee samples were great. My only suggestion is that the tables be wiped off more often they all had coffee, sugar, ect on the top. Otherwise loved the self guided tour and atmosphere“

“The food is really good. I had an omlet with the grilled cornbread and hashbrowns. The omlet was very tasty. I ate the whole thing. You have to get the grilled corn muffin for breakfast. Their lunch is good too. They have local beef for their burgers. They are open for dinner on some evenings and the dinner is just as good. It also has a bakery with pastries and sliced cake. Very yummy. They have plenty of staff that help get you seated and clean up quickly so others can get a table. You order first then get seated. It all works out. It has a diner feel to it. You can sit outside or inside. It is a popular spot so come with patience while you wait in line.“

“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.“

“To be honest, I have been using the Java Hut as my backup to get a morning iced latte when the other coffee house in Waimea is not open (which is often and sometimes unpredictable.) HOWEVER, on this trip I have decided that the lattes at the Java Hut are actually better tasting, so I think I have switched my priorities. Give it a try.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I feel like this place is underrated. Food is great and super fresh. Have a lot of variety to fit everyone's wants/needs. My wife ordered the veggie sandwich. Bread was delicious, veggies fresh, and flavor was delicious. I ordered an açaí bowl. Loved the fresh PB scoops on top with fresh fruit. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Nice little seating area outside or you can head down to the beach.“
