808 Grindz Cafe

Top choice in Lahaina

LoginSave

This is the Maui we love. Ono kine grinds (good food), budget-friendly prices and down-home aloha. This reincarnation of the beloved North Shore Cafe in Haiku, which closed a few years back, offers an $8.08 menu that is one of the best deals around for a hearty breakfast. The eggs Benedict cost a bit more, but options include crab cakes and salmon.

The secret is out, so put your name on the list and enjoy a chat with the locals and tourists waiting with you. Also, if you're wondering, 808 is a nod to Maui's area code.
