One of the best restaurants in Kauai. Fantastic food and service. Great veggie options as well. A must when in Kauai!

We’ve had many delicious breakfasts at Kalaheo Cafe over the years but this year, we decided to try dinner there. It was so good, we went back the following week. On Friday and Saturday nights, they have a wonderful ribeye that was perfectly cooked. My...husband loved it and there was enough for another meal with the leftovers. Based on the helpful recommendations of our delightful waitress, Carolyn, who we enjoyed on both visits, I had the turkey meatloaf one time, then the Thai curry the other time. Both were great! Their desserts are also terrific.More

Be prepared for some very colorful conversations. On several occasions diners swear and talk story very inappropriate for a public setting. When brought to the attention of the server on my last encounter thinking the table may have been regulars (felt very comfortable using the...term haole) I was met with ambivalence. I did call when I got home and spoke with the manager. When I first arrived in Kalaheo I took a phone call on speaker and was congratulating my cousin on her new home on The Big Island. On my next visit....I was asked to eat outside. The manager said people are very unaccepting of cell phones in the dining room. Well, I’m 63 and was having a perfectly normal conversation with a family member about a milestone event in her life... not going into detail about my recent gynecologic examination, swearing and using ethnic slurs. They should have been asked to tone it way down. Unfortunately for haoles there are not many breakfast opportunities here. Their art work, food and coffee are great but the atmosphere continues to make me very uncomfortable. The manager said she would look into it, but I felt she just wanted to get off the phone. Just for reference... I spend about a 50 - 100 haole dollars a week there. Not any more.More
