Sunrise Cafe

Cash only. Great place for a bite before taking the ferry over to lanai. French toast and lox Benedict were both great. We arrived at 8:10am and there were plenty of seats and we had plenty of time to eat - around 45 mins total. By 9am it became much busier.

I adore this place! Each time we come here the wait staff are so friendly and the food is so delicious! I ordered their Loco Moco which is on point and fills you up, and a cup of coffee. The beef patty is grilled to perfection, the rice is superb, and the mushroom and onion gravy is salty and delicious. The eggs are soft, perfect for covering the rice and patty with. Grab a shovel because this is quite the plate that I somehow manage to always polish off.
If you don't know what to get, the wait staff has brilliant suggestions. My wife got french toast and a cinnamon roll from the hosts recommendation and it did not disappoint. It was so good. The cinnamon butter made a moist cocoon in the middle of the bun and I could just bathe in it. I was going to take a picture of the food as I got it, but I was so hungry. Here's a picture of when I remembered.
This is one of my favorite places and I will always come here. Love it!

Such a cute cafe with delicious food! If you’re looking for something a little more healthier for breakfast, but still want it to taste good, get the vegetarian bagel! My goodness, it was sooo good and I hope I can make my own bagels as good as this one!

There was a line of people waiting to get in when we arrived at 7:30 am. Still, we got in quickly and they were upfront about the food taking about 45 minutes. It was worth the wait though. The food was very good and we could take turns look around the area while waiting. The staff were friendly and gave us good advice on places to visit before our upcoming departure from the island. The coffee was great so we got a to-go cup and headed out...but will be back someday.

Absolutely Amazing! Service was exceptional. Fodd was even better. Short wait to get seated and food did not take long either. The server was a jokester and was very entertaining. The entire staff were very kind and courteous! OH! And don't forget the fresh pineapple juice! It's delicious! We had eggs Benedict x2, Monte Cristo. Ham and cheese croissant. Chocolate chip pancakes and a breakfast burrito. All were beautifully plated and tasted amazing. We will return before we leave the island this week!

We got there around 745 on a Wednesday and got seated quickly. The French toast was with sweet Hawaiian bread and was delicious! Great service!

It was much better than our expectations! We ordered a greek bagel, side of potatoes, buttermilk pancakes and fresh pineapple juice. Everything was delicious. The pineapple juice was the best I ever had. Would definitely recommend this place!

Edit: went again for the greek bagel. Side of potatoes, chocolate chip pancakes with bananas and strawberries and plain bagel with cream cheese. This time got the large fresh pineapple juice!

Very good food. I had the breakfast burrito which was very good. My companion had the Greek bagel which she enjoyed greatly. They only take cash, so come prepared. The kitchen is a bit small so the food takes a while. Be prepared to wait a bit. The portions are pretty good size and the food is definitely worth it.

If you want fast service, or need to use a credit card, turn around and find someplace else. However, if you're looking for excellent food at a reasonable price the Sunrise Cafe is worth the wait. You will not be disappointed.

I had the lox bagel with generous portions. The tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce was almost a complete salad. Service was excellent. The porch near the entrance is unique, with trees growing up from the floor. Sunrise Cafe is an eating experience I highly recommend.

We found this little jem on complete accident. It's clearly a little hole in the wall favorite with GREAT food, large portions, and the staff was super friendly and funny. You must try this place for breakfast!

Awesome little local cafe! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was great! Nice local vibe. Breakfast burrito was huge and delicious! Highly recommended!!

Best breakfast we had in Maui! The wait was longer due to only one cook, but oh so worth it! The food was EXCELLENT, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was great. Know before you go: They share a porta potty with the shops next door & they only accept cash. More affordable than other locations too! Definitely try the Lox Benedict!!

Go here! Get the Loco Moco! Sunrise Cafe is a laid back island spot with great local dishes. The waiter is so funny and personable. This place is a cash only, mom-and-pop resturant, just off Front St.

Best, most authentic homemade food we had on the island! Intimate seating and great views

Amazing small cafe!! Definitely recommending this place for breakfast/brunch. The veggie bagel was really amazing.

The nicest staff in Lahaina. This place not only has amazing breakfast but the people are so friendly. The prices were very fair ! It is cash only so be prepared for that. Tables become available quickly but it's usually a 30-45 min wait for the food. The vibe is amazing so it's not a bad wait at all and so worth it ! I got the sunrise platter with spam instead of bacon and it was cooked perfectly ! My husband got the belgian waffle and it was delicious! A must do if in Lahaina.

Please note CASH ONLY...or travelers cheques (people still use those?) Great little breakfast spot especially if you want to give your wallet a break from hotel buffet prices. Get there early, like right at 7am if you don't want to wait for a table. Didn't try lunch items but the breakfast burrito and sunrise platter were excellent!

This place has quickly become our go-to. The food is phenomenal and reasonably priced compared to resort restaurants (even tastes better then those places too) They become busy FAST. So come early or call ahead for to-go. They are a CASH ONLY place so be sure to stop by the ATM prior.

Great family owned restaurant. Customer service was top notch and the breakfast croissant was absolutely amazing. Cash only.

I read reviews about the long wait but I wanted to go on my last morning before my flight so I got there before it opened and asked to order before they even sat me down. The woman who sat me didn’t seem very happy about it but took my order and I got it less than 20 min later! My server was absolutely phenomenal and super friendly. I got the pineapple juice and took a risk on the lox Benedict. The pineapple juice tasted funny but the lox was absolutely so good and lived up to its reputation. Would go back. Can’t get over how nice the server was
