Vanta Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Mom and pop shop with great food and excellent coffee. Owner was so sweet, she gave me a flower for my hair before leaving!! Couldn't recommend this little place enough if you're in the area and hungry!
Home cooked meals at its finest. Stopped in for breakfast. Food was delicious! Mahalo!
Adorable little itty bitty cafe. The owners are super sweet and friendly. Made me feel at home. Food tastes like a home cooked meal and the coffee, the best I've had in a long time. When I visit Maui again I'll be sure to stop by.
This little place oozes charm and homeliness. Korean leaning menu, the dumpling ramen is delish. When we were there for breakfast (failed Haleakala sunrise attempt) we were the first ones there and it quickly filled up with another couple on the bistro seating, and another table of friendly Korean ladies. The place is full of knickknacks and map of the world full of pins marking what city every visitor is from. Very charming
The food was delicious and the pancakes were so fluffy! Super low key and very nice staff.
Stumbled upon this local place while driving through looking for a breakfast and I am so happy we stopped. This is definitely a local place with the sweetest owners! The place is very small but the food portions are great and the food is delicious. I definitely get old school vibes from the place and it's not an updated, main stream café but these are the places we love to support when coming to Maui. I 10/10 recommend them!
Cute little place hidden in the back streets of Wailuku. Mom and pop run the store and they are super hospitable. There are limited seats so use caution you may have to wait. Fresh coffee and home made foods are a delight. Please shop local and help everyone survive and thrive. Aloha
Early morning breakfast at this hidden local gem (in a strip mall) after an airport drop. Got the kimchi fried rice served with seaweed. Came out hot a delicious. Cook was very polite and a wizard for my meal. Not a lot of seating, but that's the charm of it all. Quaint and quiet. Had a very nice selection of hot sauces and sriracha which I covered my meal with. If you want a different vibe for brekkie, give this spot some aloha!
Nice little breakfast spot with great home style food. Had pork sausage, eggs, and toast. The decor is really unique with Maui posters and pictures inside. Food service was fast and staff was friendly. Highly recommend this spot for a nice home style breakfast.
Want local eats? Headed to Hana? Stopped here on the road to Hana and were welcomed in with smiling faces. Throughout the duration of our meal many people stopped by. This delicious cafe is inviting and eclectic. It's giving mom and pop and homey ambiance. A large world map for you to pin where you're visiting from and a US map just below to get specific. Very cool. Push the singing fish yes, your dad wasn't the only one with the Billy Bass Singing fish. Nostalgic A variety of menu options: Blueberry pancakes: (combo) two large fluffy pancakes topped with whip topping and blueberries, scrambled egg, sausage, and bacon. Good and large serving good to share. French toast: served with sausage and bacon (pictured) Spam breakfast combo: spam, hash brown, egg, toast Croissant sandwich: egg, cheese, bacon and sausage breakfast San which. Delicious and large. (extra charge for croissant bread) They also have coffee, lattes, smoothies etc. Tons of lunch options I would return. Parking in the shopping center, restroom key upon request. Great service. Made to order.
