    The Benedict eggs are awesome... Pull aparts ... Oatmeal brûlée. Lots of interesting and delicious things to try. Very informal outdoor cafe style ... Love the vibe.

    For breakfast, lunch or a coffee to-go on your way over to the other side of the island, this place has an eclectic vibe and menu filled with eggs, breads and salads, all with a local twist.

    Look'n for a cheaper and better quality breakfast than the resorts, this is your place. From awesome gluten free oatmeal to great eggs, moco loco and pancakes. It was our regular after the first visit

    Delicious breakfast options. Offers a "lite menu" for people who like smaller portions. Try the cinnamon pull-away bun!

    One in Kailua-Kona is much better. This location has completely run out of fresh fish by 5pm and no French fries on the menu. Service is incredibly slow despite being the only ones in the restaurant.

    Do not order breakfast here. Took 30 min and we were only ones there. Coffee maker was broke and waffles were burned. They served them anyway and charged full price. This places is going down hill gas
