“ Spectacular feta and strawberry salad. So fresh. Not only that, but the woman who was working this evening (July 7) was so kind and genuine. Amazing people working there. Beautiful place to eat, got to see a sunset as well! ”
“ Stopped here for breakfast. Overall food and service were excellent. Limited free parking spaces, otherwise paid street parking is available. Well maintained restaurant, clean restroom, and friendly staff. Gluten-free options are available too. ”
“ Everything we ate — gnocchi appetizer, auction fish entree, the pork entree, and the fruit crisp— and drank was absolutely phenomenal. Service was friendly and fast, and our server Shane gave us excellent recommendations. We will absolutely be back. ”
“ Dropped by Kalapalai Cafe for a quick breakfast, and it was one of those meals that keeps you thinking. The breakfast burritos were a bit of a culinary puzzle - somewhat bland on their own, but transformed by the accompanying salsa. It's like the salsa was the secret ingredient that turned a plain Jane into a flavor queen. The cappuccino was the real star of the show. Rich, smooth, and reminiscent of a quaint Italian cafe, it proved that great coffee doesn't always need a fancy mug to shine. Served in a simple to-go cup, it was a reminder that sometimes simplicity wins. At around $10 for two burritos, it's a reasonable deal for the area. Not a gourmet experience, but an authentic taste of local dining. The kind of spot that has character, even if that character needs a little seasoning. Would I come back? Yes. Because sometimes an imperfect meal tells a better story than a perfect one. Just remember to ask for extra salsa - it's the hero this breakfast needs. ”
“ Came for dinner. The lamb curry, wagyu burger, and chocolate chip cookie a la mode were delicious. While the food was excellent, Rocie stole the show with her outstanding service. My husband and I try not to dine at the same place twice with how many unique restaurants there are on island, but if all the staff are as welcoming and charismatic as Rocie, we will definitely be making this place our go-to for nicer date nights. ”
