This spot doesn’t necessarily make my list based on the food alone, but it’s more of a “situation” spot. 

Kai Cafe is the coffee/breakfast/snack spot in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Kapalua and what I LOVE about this place are all of the seating areas in the cafe and around the lobby that have amazing views out over the resort and surrounding areas. 

If you’re doing the Kapalua Coastal Trail (which you should!), start at Kapalua Beach and walk all the way up to the Ritz Carlton (the turning back point on the trail) and stop in at Kai Cafe a bit before you resume your hike back. 

I really like their acai bowls.
