Kai Cafe

The morning egger sandwich was surprisingly fresh and tasty. Just deducted one star because I suspect they use powdered eggs.

Closing at 3 p.m. feels like a missed opportunity. It really limits the chance to enjoy an evening coffee in such a beautiful setting. If it stayed open later, it could easily become a go-to spot for ice cream on a hot summer day or for pastries and desserts in the evening. Unfortunately, the early closure cuts off those options right when I’d be most interested in relaxing with something sweet or a cup of coffee.

Location is obviously phenomenal. Staff make it special. Like each one, it’s silly how nice they are. Latte was always tasty. Pastries yummy. Started my mornings here while staying at the hotel and it was always excellent.

Had lunch here and the food was incredible. I never thought there was such a thing as gourmet French fries, but there are, lol

I wish I took a photo of my bloody Mary and breakfast sandwich. They are both excellent. The breakfast sandwich had a lot of thick cut bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs on brioche buns. The bloody Mary was excellent to put it simply. It also has a great view over the pools and on to the water.

Food is very good and very local. The ritz has really gone out of their way to include locals businesses. From hiring local florists to produce amazing flowers and plants daily, to providing local authentic Maui products and food. This coffee shop being one. The products are all made locally. Including the egg sandwiches. I normally hate premade breakfast sandwiches. But this one is legit.

The view is amazing. Food and beverages average.

The view is great! The coffee is decent and they have alternative milk options. The açaí bowl was huge and could easily been shared. The egg sandwich my husband had was wonderful.

I enjoyed visiting here for a morning smoothie and coffee. Quite a bit of selection. The staff were very hospitable and seemed like great people, genuinely happy to serve you. They were kind enough to modify my smoothies, but had to give my customizations prior to 1pm the day before. Required a bit of forethought, but wasn't an issue once you got accustomed to it. The gelato was yummy as was the avocado toast. And of course, you can't get a much better view than off the balcony. (Take me back!) I took a star off because it was over-priced and smaller portioned, due to being in the Ritz-Carlton.

Cold brew iced coffee was excellent! Very hard to find on the island outside of Starbucks. Coffee cake was delicious as well. Ignore the bad reviews from Ritz guests. Service is good and drinks are fairly priced.
