Restaurants near Kalaheo

“Great food, very friendly staff and probably the best cinnamon French toast we ever had!”

“The best hamburger in the state, and I am from California. May even be better than In&Out If you visit Kauai please don’t miss, it’s like not going to Disneyland when you visit our State.”

“Best chicken pot pies we’ve ever had. Cannot wait to try the dessert pie next!”

“My sister and I had the most delightful visit! We grabbed some mocktails and a ginormous soft pretzel, and everything was just perfect. The scenery is gorgeous, the service is fast, and the staff are super friendly — they checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying everything.

I had the Pineapple Don Key and my sister had the Salty Sunrise, and both were delicious! I loved that each drink came with a little garnish — my drink had a slice of lime and a tiny flower, and my sister’s had a slice of lemon with a flower. Such a cute, thoughtful touch!

Everything about this spot made our afternoon feel special — we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great drinks, a fun pūpū, and a welcoming atmosphere!”

“We stumbled across Sugar Skull while on vacation. The carrot cake is the best I have ever had. We just had 12 packs of macaroons shipped to us for my son’s 14th birthday. He is in heaven!”

“The pork tacos (carnitas) are the best i ever taste on this island, and the customer service is awesome, it's was a hot day, so we ordered something to drink, and the cokes and diet cokes were really cold, we are coming back for sure.”

“Amazing place.. worth a stop…”

“I frequently stop by the food truck row for a quick business lunch, but most places have a 15-minute wait. I tried Thai Elephant last Tuesday and was impressed by how quickly they moved without the food feeling rushed.' I got the Pad See Ew, and the noodles had that wonderful burned flavor that you generally only find in sit-down restaurants!”

“The crust! The sauce!! The Service ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great local vibe & owners are awesome”

“We stopped to get some dessert to go with the dinner we were going to make after a rainy day of sightseeing. I picked the sweet potato haupia pie, my husband had the lilikoi chiffon with cream cheese, and my nephew had the 4 pc Ube Mochi. We each tried a taste of each other’s desserts and I liked the lilikoi dessert the best. I forgot to take pics of the desserts but we also bought a dozen of taro rolls which we used for breakfasts egg sandwiches for 2 of the days. Ruth was so helpful and friendly in answering all my questions about the desserts in helping my selection. My mom grew up in Hawaii and used to make haupia and delicious rolls so it brought back some sweet memories and was especially fitting since part of our reason for our trip was to scatter some of her ashes.”

“Scenic view of Hanapepe side.”

“Our family very recently vacationed in Kauai to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. I had reached out to Ko Bakery several weeks before our trip to have a cake made to surprise my parents. We chose the Haupia with Lime buttercream and also got a dozen cupcakes (yellow cake with chocolate buttercream) for the kiddos. The cake and cupcakes were AMAZING!!!! Their customer service is incredible (especially since we were communicating through email) and pick up was a breeze. I highly recommend Ko Bakery!!!”

“Justin, you and your team did a fabulous job for our Son's wedding rehearsal dinner! We are so grateful for all the hard work leading up to our event and for your careful attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. The food was a wonderful combination of flavors and delicious in every way! Our family and wedding party loved and raved about it all! A few of the many items people keep raving about was the amazing Macaroni Salad and your special BBQ sauces. We all agreed they were the best we ever had! It was so nice to work with someone who goes above and beyond to make an event a success. It was a night all of our guests enjoyed greatly and will not be forgetting anytime soon. With great gratitude, Carmen, John & Melanie, Eric (the proud parents) Paige and Dylan (the bride and groom) San Francisco, CA”

“super good food! Very courteous staff. Highly recommend.”

“It’s a cute little town with a handful of galleries and other shops. Not to be missed is Popo’s cookies and Banana Patch ( if it’s still around with kauai made pottery)”

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining”

“Best pizza on island! Call ahead to reserve, they sell out early. The white pie & cowboy are favorites but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. This pizza is made with love!”

“Both times we had JoJo’s shaved ice while visiting Kauai the shaved ice was great! However I do have to say, the employees working the Kapa’a location was much more welcoming and friendlier than the Hanalei location.”

“Very good. Went for a long drive to find some authentic Kaluha Pig and Mac salad and this was the spot. I'm from the mainland but it's a must whenever I visit Kauai. 🤙”

“Perfect and just right for a sunny afternoon by the pool!!! Love the fresh fruit on top! 💯”

“Big fan of their açaí bowls. My favorite is the Funky Monkey. They blend their own açaí, no pre-made sorbet. Quality ingredients!!”

“We shared the Loco Moco. The gravy was amazing! I'm docking a star for atmosphere because we had to shoo the neighborhood dog away from the trashcan several times.”

“Delicious and friendly coffee house!”

“The coffee is amazing! Best place we found on the island! The family who owns it are delightful and we had such a nice time getting to know them in the week we were there! Swing by and check it out! You won't be disappointed!”

“The Lava burger was one of the best I have ever had. If you are in Waimea don’t pass it by.”

“Super unique venue and even better food! Incredibly fresh and creative. The kids loved the koi ponds and the overall vibes were great. It's an open air restaurant, so could be a little stuffy of humid days, but it was great when we visited. Worth the higher price point for sure.”

“Had them for dinner during Friday night Hanapepe art walk. Keiki loved the fried saimin. Kalua quesadilla with lomi salmon broke da mouf. Save room for their kūlolo, sells out quick! Bugga ono!”

“Best Luau on the island. Can’t wait to come back.”

“This is a fabulous Juicebar. Daughter ordered an açaí bowl and rated it as among the best she has eaten.
I enjoyed my Ironman and my husband enjoyed a modified Silverback. We were so glad we stumbled upon this place on our way back from the canyon to na Pali overlooks.”

“Best shave ice 🍧 that ive had on kauai. My nieces loved their hot dog 🌭 too. Perfect beach treats.”
