Kalaheo Cafe & Coffee Company
2-2560 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Lihue, this beloved café strikes the perfect balance between a quick caffeine stop and a leisurely breakfast destination where locals and visitors linger over standout dishes like their legendary French toast and creative mango mimosas. The counter-service setup keeps things casual and efficient, while the genuinely warm staff and thoughtfully executed menu—from housemade-tasting toast to satisfying loco moco—makes it easy to see why guests come back multiple times during their stay. Whether you're nursing a smooth caramel latte or exploring their plantation tea and matcha offerings, there's a welcoming, unpretentious charm that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

As you walk in make sure to line up and be seated AFTER ORDERING. Loved everything I ordered throughout my stay and visited more than once. The staff is friendly and everyone had a smile. This is a plus and makes me feel welcomed. I will recommend this place to anyone looking…
Kalaheo was so fantastic, our group visited twice for breakfast during our trip. They have a wide selection of meals and beverages. I really enjoyed my plantation tea.
We ate there twice on our 5-day stay. The staff was so friendly, the food fantastic. We stayed in and had the French toast and Loco moco the 1st time, and egg and cheese sandwiches to go the second time.
The mango mimosas are great, food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. My wife and I wanted to get off the hotel property to explore and we were lucky to find this place. We absolutely will be coming back to try more menu items.
