12 Best Breakfast Spots on Maui

Some top choices on the breakfast menu at Colleen’s are the traditional Cannery Breakfast, French Toast, and the Haiku BLT. They also have a wide variety of Eggs Benedicts, an Organic Tofu Vegetable Wrap, and much more. One of our all-time favorites is the Hangover Cure. It’s a mélange of black forest ham, oven-roasted potatoes, jack and cheddar cheeses, onions, and green chiles all sautéed together.

We love that Colleen’s uses local ingredients whenever they can. Their breakfast smoothies are delicious, and the Cannery Bloody Mary is the bomb! Don’t forget to say “Mahalo!” to your server on the way out!

Colleen’s also offers Lunch, Happy Hour, and Dinner Service. Next door is Colleen’s Bar, which is a great place to enjoy a pau hana with friends or meet up for a late-night cocktail.

Aside from their incredible menu and large portions, one of the best things about Kula Bistro is the atmosphere. Super chill vibes, friendly and attentive service, and lots of alohas are served here!

The choices for breakfast here at Kula Bistro are aplenty! The menu is split up into Benedicts, Frittatas, Local Favorites, French Toast & Pancakes, and many tasty side dishes. We love the Mahi Mahi Benedict, the Snow Crab & Spinach Frittata, and we just adore the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pancakes.

Another great part of dining at Kula Bistro is that it means supporting local Maui farms and vendors. This is a prime Maui restaurant that serves up healthy portions and celebrates the Maui community. You just can’t go wrong here!

Please check their website for the most up-to-date hours. (Currently, they are closed for breakfast on Mondays.)

The Kihei location is just across the road from Kalama Park. You can head out for a quick morning swim, grab some breakfast and a coffee, and plan out your perfect South Maui adventure.

The newly opened second location is on Keawe Street in Lahaina. It’s just steps away from Mala Wharf and Lahaina’s Baby Beach.

All of the items on Kihei Caffe’s breakfast menu are fairly priced and finger-licking good. Some of our favorites are the Papaya Delight, Biscuits & Gravy, Huevos Rancheros, Pork Fried Rice & Eggs, Loco Moco, and Blackened Fish & Eggs. The Cinnamon Rolls here are excellent too!

Chef Wong’s breakfast/brunch menu is nothing short of amazing. It is so diverse that you will need to visit more than once to truly take it all in.

These are just the tip of the iceberg (or volcano) regarding the brunch and lunch items on the menu. Everything here is fantastic!

Papa’aina is such a welcomed addition to Maui’s restaurant scene. It’s a great place to enjoy some breakfast or a nice brunch with friends in Lahaina. We’d also like to note that Papa’aina has some seriously fantastic choices for breakfast drinks!

Don’t sleep in too late and make sure that you make reservations. Brunch is from 8am-2pm daily.

Acai Bowls are made to order and can be 100% customized. First, guests choose from a Blend Bowl (acai, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas) or a Surf Bowl (frozen acai puree). They’re both topped with organic hemp granola, fresh bananas, and coconut flakes, and then drizzled with honey. They also have a huge range of toppings like fresh tropical fruit, bee pollen, spirulina, maca powder, wheatgrass, cacao nibs, and almond butter.

If you love smoothies, you’ll be in heaven here. Choose from the Aloha, Lanai, Paia, Hana, Haleakala, or the Jaws. The Paia is our top choice. It’s made with acai, strawberries, blueberries, cacao nibs, bee pollen, spirulina, and coconut oil. They also serve up what they call “Functional Smoothies.” This is a selection of smoothies with extra boosts for immunity, energy, endurance, collagen, anti-inflammatory properties, and much more.

Paia Bowls isn’t just one of the top healthy cafes on Maui’s North Shore. It’s also a hot spot that fosters aloha and positive vibrations. Make sure that you stop by the next time you’re in Paia Town!

Some favorites on the breakfast menu are the Omelets, French Toast with Strawberry Compote, and Smoked Salmon Benedict. If you’re in a rush, you can stop in for a to-go order or grab some espresso drinks and pastries.

We do have to say that the breakfast menu at Ka’ana Kitchen is somewhat short. That’s not to disparage the divine offerings of these selections at all, though. We’d rather say that it’s just streamlined, modern-gourmet, and to the point!

Our favorites for breakfast at Ka’ana Kitchen are the Kalua Pork Benedict (served with a ponzu hollandaise and heirloom tomato salad), the Breakfast Bruschetta, Poached Eggs, and Sweet Potato Cake. The Waffles here are top-notch and come served with caramelized bananas, coconut creme, and Nutella.

Top any of these breakfast options off with a side order of the Cured Grilled Slab Bacon and a Maui Mimosa, and believe us, you will be golden!

Of course, the breakfast menu at Paia Bay is nothing short of sweet perfection. All of the items here are made from local, sustainable, and organic ingredients.

Some of our favorites for breakfast at Paia Bay Coffee include the Acai Bowl, and the Organic Eggs & Smoked Salmon. Our top choice would have to be the Vegan Bagel Sandwich made with pesto, hummus, roasted red peppers, avocado, tomato, and locally grown baby greens. It’s worth noting that their homemade croissants can be ordered as a breakfast sandwich with options that include Nutella, Feta Cheese, and Bacon & Brie.

This top-notch breakfast spot also provides a super casual and comfortable environment. You can find a table under the sun or one covered by shade.

The most popular items on Farmacy’s menu are all of their smoothies and alkaline juices. Our top choice is the Tamarindo Juice because it’s so tasty and it’s a rare find in Hawaii. The Valley Isle Kombucha is also to die for, and the Maui Coconut Water is top-notch too. We also love their delicious Acai Bowl, but our favorite is the Pono Bowl. It comes served with quinoa, soup, kale salad, cashew dressing, feta cheese, and popcorn tofu.
