Great place to stop for a quick breakfast in Poipu. Love this place.

Great breakfast, excellent coffee with free refills. Super friendly staff. Shopping center cafe with only large shared picnic tables outside

We ate at Anuenue once in September 2024. It was okay but not worth going back to. Be aware that the only seating is one outdoor picnic table next to the tiny building, so if more than one family is there, there’s no place to sit. Consider it breakfast takeout.

While it is anticipated that you will spend more than island average in Poipi, this venue sets a new standard in duplicity. The restaurant itself is a stall. Seating is limited to two picnic tables. If it is raining, you are definitely dining elsewhere. The online menu is no longer offered by the new owners. My wife ordered the Tow-In plate (2 runny scrambled egg, 4 average size strips of bacon, and 2 pieces of french toast). I ordered a side of french toast - $11 for one Hawaiian bread toast slice. The food quality was that of a mediocre cafeteria. My wife had hibiscus tea - good. I ordered coconut water - $5 for a Kirklands juice box. The only areas of praise I can give are convenience of location and promptness of service. The photos others have posted are representative, but they are way overselling the experience. It just ain't authentic. You are vacationing in paradise. Seek the gold standard in quality set by so many other local Kauai business owners.

Listen extra carefully when they read back to you your order. They’ll get it wrong and blame it on you if you don’t catch their error. My wife and I had an awful experience here. We ordered the plain French toast. When asked if I wanted bacon or sausage I said sausage. We also ordered the “Mea Kanu” omelette, which is basically a veggie omelette. When we received our food it was a meaty “shark” omelette and I had bacon instead of my sausage as a side. When I brought it to the hostess’ attention she said that she read the order back to me and I said ok. Granted, I wish I had caught the mistake when she quickly repeated the order back to me. This all could have been avoided. I get that. But I know what I ordered isn’t what she wrote down. “Mea Kanu” and “The Shark” are 2 totally different names for an omelette. I know I said Mea Kanu because I had to read it carefully to make sure I was saying it right. And the words sausage and bacon are very distinct sounding as well. Long story short, the hostess and the manager/owner (not sure which) wouldn’t switch out the omelette because they said I didn’t correct what was read back to me. I’d have to pay another $20 on top of an already ridiculous price for breakfast food to get the omelette I requested. Terrible customer service, blaming the customer and not taking responsibility for writing down the wrong order. I guess they figure who cares, since I’m heading back to the mainland and they’ll just wait for the next sucker tourist to take advantage of. How hard is it to write down Mea Kanu Omelette and plain French toast with sausage, especially when you as the worker are more familiar with the menu and their names? And blaming it on the customer instead of taking responsibility for not writing it down right to begin with and not righting the wrong? Stay away from this place and spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.

We stood in the queue for 5 minutes, but it was totally worth it. The French toast was so good. We tried the sugarcane juice, but it was too sweet—I wish they had added lemon. The food came out very quickly.

Not a sit down place, but they did have a few picnic tables outside around the restaurant. Kalua pork fried rice was delicious, and the lemon berry french toast was pretty good too.

Great takeout breakfast at a super reasonable price. Highly recommend their omelets and French toast.

Ahhhhhhhhh!! The Tube Ride French toast with lemon curd, berry coulis and syrup was ?. The eggs were eggs but the Portuguese sausage was also ?. The mixed veg (green and red peppers, asparagus, zucchini, tomatoes) was a great add on to make up for all the sugar bombs and fat I was eating. You have to eat breakfast here. Warning: nowhere to sit, take out only.
