We were in Hanapepe on a Friday night, browsing shops on Art Walk night. At about 8:30 we walked by the Cafe, noticing a few empty tables so decided to see if we could get dinner. When we approached the host station, two young women were there. They ignored us for a few minutes, even though they weren't working with... more

Hanapepe Cafe is open for dinner only of Fridays. Reservations are a must. What a great atmosphere, my husband felt like he was back in the "good old days" (he went to Pauahou in the 50's). The art shops are open on Fri. evenings. The food was delicious. It is mostly vegetarian for lunch but mixed for dinner. I had... more

For lunch we arrived and were sat down with menus and the waitress said she would be right back. We waited 20 minutes for her return to order, gave them many chances to recognize us, they missed the boat............... so we left. We ate dinner there the Friday before and the food was good. We expect after 5 minutes of... more

Hanapepe Cafe is located on the main drag of the old Hanapepe Town, where Friday night is "art walk", with musicians, street vendors, galleries open late, and the only night for dinner at the Cafe. The menu is vegetarian, although shrimp, salmon, or tofu can be added to most meals for an extra $6 charge. There is no liquor license,... more

On the way back from Waimea Canyon towards Poipu we saw the signs for Old Town Hanapepe Cafe. So we decided to shop around in the area and came across this cafe. We stopped in for a few bakery items only, and a gourmet Iced Tea. What a wonderful treat. We hope to stop back there sometime... more

While touring the west side of Kauai we came upon this delightful bakery and restaurant. What a treat! We enjoyed the best coffee we'd had on the Island and delicious, fresh pastries. The owner and her staff were so welcoming and friendly. We loved the old building and all the artwork on display in the restaurant. Don't miss the Hanapepe... more

We loved the Hanapepe Cafe and wish we could have eaten there more often during our trip to Kaua'i. The homemade iced teas were delicious, and the food was fantastic! And lots for the vegetarian! more

Hanapepe Cafe was recommended to us by a shop owner a couple of doors down. I even order the seafood-sweet potatoe dish that she suggested. It was wonderful! We were seated promptly with a smile, even though they were about to close. All the food was fresh and wonderful. My 11 year old son ordered 3 of their house salads... more

We decided to have lunch here based on reviews we had read. My husband ordered the fish sandwich and I had a garden burger. We waited half an hour for our food even though less than 1/3 of the tables were seated at the time. Luckily we like Bob Marley and got to listen to most of a CD while... more
