    To get to this restaurant you go down an industrial road passing several storage and junk yard. Walk through doors and you are transformed into another world. The dining area is an open room with larges windows looking out to beautiful tropical plants. The menu has breakfast and French sandwitches. I had the ham and vegitable soup with a beef Boguingon sandwitch. Service was attentive and the owner makes a strong effort to greet customers at the door. With Fabiani's and Eskimo candy around the corner, this is another great use of this area in Kihei.

    I wish there were more places in the world like this. My girlfriend and I sat and enjoyed a great meal while the slight breeze blew through the open windows. This place is all about the details from the way they prepare the food to the nice little dish they bring the bill in. So where do I start? The service was great. She was pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. The food didnt take long at all and my coffee was warmed up with my meal. As for our food? The eggs were fluffy and the chorizo in my omelette was excellent. My girlfriend enjoyed pears, candied walnuts, brie and garlic aioli on a fresh baguette. Can you say delicious? I can, because I took a couple bites of her sandwich. I know it's small but the music they played was very fitting for the atmosphere. They must have had it on Jem Pandora and that definitely added to the atmosphere. 5 stars for this hidden gem.

    Really GREAT place to have breakfast. We had the spinach & tomato Eggs Benedict. Excellent service, nicely decorated. Definitely would recommend this little place off the beaten path. Great prices for quality food.

    Here's a tip - best breakfasts are the simple ones - quality ingredients, nice people and good space! Scrambled eggs with Portuguese sausage - 'berry, 'berry nice!

    Way too much hype. The Vancouver location is way better. It's very nice inside and kind of on a less busy street with an open air feel. The waitress unfortunately mixed up our omelette order. Additional ingredients in your omelette cost more than they should have. And for an average breakfast it's not worth the cost.

    Arrived around 1:15 on a Sunday, with only a few other patrons in this quaint little restaurant. I had the chevre omelet and hubby had the Eggs Benedict, since they were sold out of the French toast. Mine was yummy, hubby said that he'd had better (granted he is quite the EB connoisseur). The owner was our waiter and he stopped to chat with everyone. Said they are hoping for a liquor license by the end of the year and will open a tiki lounge on the patio then. Great ambience, good food, friendly staff. Serve brunch until 2 pm.

    Tried the beef short rib omelette, French toast trio and montangarde omelette. Short rib was definitely a little different than what I normally would think of for an omelette but was delicious with juicy mushrooms and nice red wine flavour that was bold but not overbearing. Montangarde had a perfect balance of gruyere to the potatoes and bacon. The real winner is definitely the French toast trio. Delicious caramelized but not overly sweet apples, best bananas I've ever had on French toast and sweet soft raisins with some chunks of pineapple as well. The brioche French toast is thick and a good balance of crunch and soft so as to soak up the syrup but not fall apart. Service also friendly and efficient. Only thing I want a fan of was the espresso but may have just been an off day.

    Take note, I rarely give a small business a bad review. I live in San Francisco, a food Mecca and I know the impact Yelp has on small businesses. That being said, I can forgive and forget disgusting food if the service makes up for it. Give me both bad food and even worse service, you're doing something wrong. Getting carded for a bloody Mary at 40 years old for most people would be flattering unless the server just cards you thinking you probably don't have ID with you. The server obviously hates his job? No, because he went out of his way to treat the other single table with respect and enthusiasm. He obviously had some problem with me. Give me bread that even the seagulls would refuse. Ham, which I get, it's fatty. But veins, chucks of gristle and fat? No thanks. The whole time watching the same server treat other patrons with respect. Dude should stop being judgemental and find another job. Oh, and thanks for making us wait 20 minutes before even acknowledging our presence. I know it can be daunting to wait on more than one table at 8am on a Monday morning.... again find a job you enjoy, or at least try and fake it. McDonalds would have been a better choice than this flop.

    Food is delicious and reasonably priced with minor inconsistencies in the kitchen (e.g. some got whipped cream some didn't, few plates had toast missing). Service was fine but had trouble with separate tickets despite telling the waitress up front. Would definitely come back.

  • M V.

    Delish. French toast with apples and raisins so good. Eggs beni was average - must have used the smallest Maui eggs ever. Great service.

  • Michelle K.

    French toast is awesome and totally worth the trip to this out of the way spot. The service was helpful and warm and the atmosphere was relaxed and but classy. We would defiantly god back. The prices were very reasonable for good quality and nice sized portions.

    Now peoples you must try da place!!! Charming spot, great food, locally owned & sourced and warm, welcoming staff. We stopped by for lunch but ended up ordering a breakfast dishes as well as lunch. The sandwiches are served on a homemade baguette, the hollandaise is made fresh (as it should be!) and the homemade jam is fabulous. The owner/chef stepped out from the kitchen to see how we enjoyed our meal. The double espresso I ordered after my meal was more like a triple shot. While the restaurant description says they don't served alcohol, there is beer, wine and champagne available. I hear that they serve a guava mimosa! Enjoy!

    The food was insanely good. Our server Talisa was nothing short of amazing (and funny). True that it is in a weird location, it never ever disappoints. If you are in the mood for some chorizo and eggs or some of the best eggs benedict with blackened Mahi you'll ever have, you need to check this place out! Mahalo ya'll! (had us laughing Talisa lol)

  • mark y.

    I really want to like this place but for the food was not up to par. service was great but oh-- the food. got eggs benedict, french toast, loco moco, two eggs/portuguese sausage. wife who loves eggs benedict was not impressed. loco moco was on a bed of under-cooked white rice. sorta ruined that experience. ever had undercooked white rice? it's like eating little rocks except a little chewier. the A-ok was for the A+ service received by the waitstaff who was eager to offer visitor advice and for the ok french toast.

  • Jake S.

    Came here for Mother's Day and it was great. Great service and great food. Wife got the trio French toast and I got the Chèvre omelette both were great. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed. Good middle of the road prices and high end food. This place if off the beaten path but well worth it.

    chez meme (MIMI!! jk haha) is super tucked away from the main south kiehi road. we biked down what looked like a commercial, slightly industrial area... looking and looking.. then realized chez meme is located right next to a car dealer and is obscured by it. the menu is limited and they have 2 different menus. one for weekdays and one for weekends. they have a buy 1 get 1 free breakfast special M-T. we went on a sunday. doh. apparently, you can still order weekday menu if you want *just don't have that buy 1 get 1 free offer* we ordered a french toast to share. it is HUGE!! 3 large fluffy brioche bread, full of egg flavor and really rich. there were 3 toppings - strawberry, banana, and candied apples with raisins. comes with 100% canadian syrup. lol .. in hawaii of all places!! :) overall, a great brunch option in the area if you don't want to go to kihei caffe. however, be prepared to pay more for this joint. while it is super cute, simple, and comfy. that french toast was a $12 meal. good thing it was extremely filling. there were only a few people in here... hopefully it will survive.

  • Brenda S.

    Tried this place out for breakfast. Got there first thing on a Saturday morning....suggest to go early as they get pretty busy. Also lunch crowd is wild at this place!! Daily soup sells out FAST!!! It's in a cute little cottage style house tucked back off the main roads in Kihei. You actually might think your getting a transmission or clutch installed -- but once you arrive at the Bistro, the ambiance, the friendly owner/staff, and the food will make you forget that you're off the beaten path. You might think it's a bit pricey for breakfast but you really do get enormous portions and it's all fresh ingredients. They have a 1/2 pound mahi mahi sandwich with soup on the lunch menu....I really hope I get the chance to try this place out again during my stay. If not, I'll most definitely be back and hope they are still doing what they do best.

    Hands down the best place in Maui for breakfast and lunch. Pear salad, french toast and ratatouille sandwich. I would eat at Chez Meme every day and would never get tired of the food. They make their own breads and they are delicious.

  • Georges A.

    Disclaimer: I know the owner. Was looking forward to checkout our friend's place. Off the beaten path, this charming open window house is the perfect setting for breakfast or a lazy brunch. I ordered the ratatouille baguette and my wife had the goat cheese salad. Very tasty, perfect size and of course, friendly service. Even tho it was typical Hawaiian hot weather, I got tempted to order a coffee with lunch. It's served in a fun individual size french press and was just excellent. Breakfast menu looks fantastic. We'll be back to check that next.

  • Mark S.

    I have no idea how anyone gave this 4 stars. We were very disappointed. We felt "stalked by the waitstaff. I had a fair omelet which was nothing special. The potatoes were bland and tasted unseasoned. My girlfriend's omelet which sounded so good was also underwhelming. What was also surprising is that for a place which closes at 3 in the afternoon you can't get a sandwich until 11 and we had to beg for an average soup at 10:45. My girlfriend had not even eaten half of her omelet when they asked if she was done. She had just taken a bite. After a while the entertainment for us was watching how frequently the waitstaff interrupted other customers meals and conversations. This is the only disappointment I have had in eating out for as long as I can remember.

    Family style breakfast place, ordered egg Benedict and chicken omelette, the dishes come with toast with their homemade jam and baked potatoes. Nothing really surprised me, average pricing, average service and average food.

    Delicious food! Order Moco loco best we've had in Maui! French toast everyone loved, lattes and hot chocolate were fabulous. Wonderful ambiance; garden setting roll up windows and relaxing music. Very clean and great service. Off the beaten path. A must when you're in Maui!

    If you are tired of eating a greasy gut-bomb or huge portions for breakfast, and want healthy, fresh, flavorful dishes served less than 4 inches tall, Chez Meme is for you. I had a chevre, tomato, spinach, Portuguese sausage omelet which was SO good I can't wait to try to replicate it at home. My boyfriend had the Benedict which was devoured instantly. Quality light, tangy hollandaise sauce. People who chatted with us nearby all recommended the French Toast Trio, so that appears to be the local favorite. Ask for the Triple Berry jam and skip the mango apple ginger jam (both are house made). It's a big, brightly lit room with little privacy and a lot of light, adorned with a couple French-themed decorations. Really a beautiful place, and not a common sight out here in this beach town.

    If you like french toast then this is the place for you. I was craving french toast and found this place on yelp and decided to take my family there. Their french toast with bananas is amazing and probably the best french toast ive ever had. Portions are plenty and prices aren't bad either.

    We went here twice during our last trip to Maui. The food is good and the ambiance nice, and the location is definitely out of the way. Food - Five (5) stars: I had the two eggs scrambled on the first visit and the three (3) piece french toast (with all the toppings) the second time. Both times the dishes were very tasty and well done. The price is a bit on the expensive side of things, but you will be happy with the flavors. Service - Four (4) stars: The servers were attentive to us during our visits. They seemed very friendly and talkative. One server (not ours) was really talkative (at another table) and talked loudly during our second visit, which actually took away from the experience a bit. Location/Ambiance - Four (4) stars: It is a bit out of the way but the paintings on the wall and the atmosphere make up for the road trip. The dining area is very open to the outside. The only down side is that it is located in the middle of a bunch of automotive repair buildings. I guess they think good food (and it is good) will make up for the location. I hope it does. Miscellaneous - Two (2) stars: Maybe it's the location or maybe it's just Hawaii in early January, but be aware that if you eat here you will be assaulted by a few very aggressive flies. We battled these flies both times we visited. We spent half the time swatting them away from our food and the other half eating the food. My wife and I actually took turns - I would eat and she would stand guard, and while I was chewing I would stand guard and she would eat. Maybe it's a seasonal thing and I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in any other reviews. The staff are aware of it, but I think they should be more proactive in addressing this nuisance. All in all four (4) stars. We will definitely go back on our next trip to Maui but if the flies persist it may likely be our last visit to Chez Meme Baguette Bistro.

    Went here TWICE on our trip to Maui October 24-27th, 2013. Food here is DELICIOUS. Despite it being in a industrial area, I was so glad to have found this place through yelp even when it had only 14 reviews. I'm glad to see it thriving and most importantly I miss their French Toast :( I have not yet found one quite like it. I must come back soon to get my fix soon :P

    Luckily I paged through several times on yelp to find this place! Food was wonderful. Charlie was charming and the breeze through the windows felt amazing. I would recommend the ratatouille sandwich and French toast. Maybe some day they'll be open for dinner?

    Please consider this spot for breakfast when you are on Maui in Kihei. There are a number or wonderful reasons to eat here. First, the ambience is very special and difficult to find in many parts of Maui. You will feel like you are walking into the home of your grandmother for breakfast, which is a really nice feeling. The restaurant is clean and the chairs are super comfortable. There is a semi private room and overall seats about 75 people total. Chez Meme is known for Their French Toast, but they also have a nice selection of omelets and have Eggs Benedict. There are other offerings on the breakfast menu and they are open 7 days a week starting at 7 AM currently. The also have a lunch menu. You can check out their web site for yourself and I LOVE the recipe for the three berry preserves and brought a jar home with me. It's made by the owners Mother! God Bless her, it is the best ever! Give it a try at Chez Meme Baguette Bistro, for a comfortable dining experience. You can use your google maps and probably their web site for the location/directions. it's off of the busy South Kihei Road on a quieter street across from the good year tire place in Kihei. Enjoy!

    Had breakfast there today. Cute place, definitely off the beaten path. My partner had the Eggs Benedict, I ordered the Montangarde omelet with ham, gruyere and onion. I was disappointed that the omelet had so much raw onion. Once removed, the omelet was fine. Eggs Benedict were great, no complaints there. Would definitely return, lunch offerings looked good too.

  • Susan H.

    This is a great off the beaten path place to eat. They have done a great job of making it feel like eating in a courtyard as opposed to eating on a busy street. Couldn't decide between breakfast (served all day) but settled on the French toast. It was melt in your mouth good. Sandwiches looked fabulous too. Will be back for lunch

  • Veronica V.

    This was alright but did not live up to previous reviews. My French toast was burned outside and soggy inside with not enough banana. Husband couldn't eat his potatoes because they were too undercooked. He thought the Hollandaise and smoked salmon was excellent, though. Pretty pricey for what it was. Also, I was pretty annoyed the waiter kept asking how are WE were doing and how OUR first bites were. I dunno dude, are YOU eating with us?

  • Dan S.

    Very good breakfast food, but I have to take a star away because on the day we went the service was incredibly slow. We showed up a little after 8 AM - they were open but clearly not ready to actually serve and cook. The waitress was very prompt but then it took forever for he drinks and food to come out. That said, the waitress was very nice and friendly, and she did keep us updated about our order. And when it finally came out my omelette was quite good - excellent in fact. But we were in there for about 90 minutes for what was a pretty simple breakfast. I get that Maui time runs a bit slower than mainland time, but this was way slower, and way slower than every other place we ate at around Maui I would definitely go back, and I do recommend it for the food. I would just suggest that they work on their service timing a bit. They may need to start prepping before the opening, and maybe have more front staff available at the opening.

  • Dan S.

    Kind of out of the way spot, whose looks can be deceiving. I ordered the special Croque Madame and my wife had the eggs over medium... the home fries, homemade bread, and homemade jam (ours was blueberry) were all amazing. We also had a mango nectar mimosa (which was a bit heavy on the champagne side but we arent really drinkers) and black coffee (strong and good). We were so impressed by the bread that we ordered a loaf to go. Try this place when you'd like to get away from crowds of people and just want a good homestyle breakfast. Loved it, will be back again.

    Dam Good Breakfast all day ,, I have a timeshare on the island I am here 4 times a year for the last 15 years. I have eaten at Taco trucks , out of the back of a woman's trunk selling burritos , Ruth Crisp to Mommas Fish House. Do Not miss this spot . They also serve Dinner this is the spot

    Incredible breakfast spot! Had the beef bourgeois omelet a piece of French toast the buttery croissant and the best Hawaiian Bloody Mary!! A must for breakfast! It is a bit warm due to it seems no air conditioner but well worth it!!

    Love the ambience. Cute little cafe with ample seating inside n out. Came here on a saturday morning at 9am. Not crowded at all. Had the chickennpesto omlete was yummy. The potatoes r really good. Very few selection of pastries. Mocha was just ok. Service was great.

  • Ceciley P.

    Probably my least favorite meal on the island. To be fair we've had really great food thus far, but I was surprised that this place was reviewed so highly on Yelp. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I had the Eggs Benedict and my husband had the Chicken Tuscany Omelet. They were both ok, but nothing special about them. Also, I wasn't a big fan of the toast that came with it. I love my breads, but this bread was bland and dry. The service was uninviting and fairly slow. Most of the staff seemed to hang out in the back. We even saw a couple come in who was not greeted for several minutes so they left. The most interaction we had with the staff was regarding their attempt to sell pastries. They tried "tempting" us 4 separate times (twice by our own server and once each by two other servers). The location is a bit odd and uninviting too. Not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.

  • Mike I.

    By far my favorite restaurant in Maui. No matter what else you order, get a side of the French toast!

  • Adam C.

    Finally a place that didn't charge an arm and a leg for great food! This place was in the local area near wailea. If you are looking for some damn good french toast or eggs benedict then this is your place. The atmosphere was so relaxing I could have stayed all day. The food was really good, the staff was really well spoken and recommended some tasty options. All in all, this was a really nice change in pace from all the touristy things we've done while on our vacation. Highly recommended!

  • Jessica G.

    The food was excellent here! Location is a bit out of the way since it isn't on a Main Street but still easy to find. Chicken Tuscany omelet was good & the potatoes perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed the jam that came with the toast. The real star of the show however... The freshly baked Sticky Bun! Do yourself a favor and get this piece of heaven.

  • Imi B.

    I found them on Yelp before a one day trip in Maui. They did not disappoint. Waitress was attentive and "on it" We ordered Bloody Mary's (yummmmm) Their breads all fresh as well as their jams. Breakfast was excellent, food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Up Sold us on some bakery goods(excellent) Overall would go back again! Eggs BeneYUMMERS

  • Jessica L.

    Great breakfast!!! This place is reasonably priced and had fantastic "real" food, not the prepackaged frozen food you'll get elsewhere. This means you may have to wait an extra five minutes to have it delivered, but the very short wait is well worth it! We had the ham/Gruyere omelet and the chicken Tuscany omelet and both were great! Both were loaded with meat. The ham omelet was very flavorful and while the chicken omelet was slightly less flavorful, it was exactly the way a chicken omelet should taste! The jam is the bomb!!! They're starting to serve dinner on Fridays and Saturdays beginning this weekend and I can only imagine they, too, will be amazing. The staff was also wonderful and very attentive!

    This was the first breakfast stop we made in Kihei. We actually tried to go to Kihei Caffe first, but the line was ridiculous and we were hAngry. We were seated right away and offered drinks. POG, coffee, water, all around. The fiance and I both got the loco moco because "when in Rome (Hawaii)..." It was quite good. It was a first for the both of us, so we didn't have anything to compare it to except for the fact that our tummies were super happy. Nice hand-formed, hamburger patty made with local beef. Perfect egg with a little runny yolk. And the gravy with mushrooms was really hearty and filling, but not overwhelming. It all reminded me of salisbury steak, but not in a bad way at all. All of this goodness over white rice. Delish. One of the ladies in our group got the French toast, which she really liked. Another gal got the Benedict which looked amazing and she said it tasted even better. But when can you ever go wrong with Benedict? They had just made some coconut macarons so I got a few of those to share. Quite good. Our server was very nice and the environment was great. Overall, great first breakfast on the island.

  • Queen G.

    I am updating my review because our breakfast was so good, we decided to go back for breakfast again...and we shouldn't have. It almost seems like we had a completely different chef. I ordered another omelette:..it was bland and flat:,,no seasoning and or flavor. It sucked. My potatoes were no where near as good as the day before..not even cooked all the way thru. My Hubby got a hamburger and he said it was the most boring hamburger he had ever had. Soooo...inconsistent seems to be the deal here. Either the chef was having an off day or they need to train there other chef to cook just as well as the previous one we had. Customer service is still awesome. Have not yet tried to the dinner menu...probably won't. But the deserts have not changed.,,incredible. So good!

  • Sly C.

    Breakfast here was good, but I felt a little deflated after reading all the rave reviews here on Yelp. I had the spinach & tomato eggs benedict, because that is my favorite brunch dish, and it was only okay. The hollandaise was good, as were the home fries. The eggs come on baguette slices, and although I heard someone who must have been the manager describing their baker as the "best free agent baker on the island," I was not impressed -- the baguettes were mediocre at best. I didn't feel at all tempted to get some pastries to go. (It might've helped if we could have seen the vaunted pastries...) We did get some macaroons to go, and they were tasty. Espresso beverages were tasty and service was excellent. If I were back in the area, I might come again and try the French toast or something.

    Lauren was great with our party of 5 Sunday morning for breakfast. We loved the french toast, we scored a fresh loaf of bread for our sandwiches for our road to Hana trip. The outside patio is a score with a shady tree for comfortable dining outside.

    Truly amazed by the positive reviews! Just take a pass on this place. Very overpriced for the quality of food being served. How can they call this place a bakery! Stale,hard bread. Raw undercooked turnovers. Yuck to everything we had that morning.

  • Ron L.

    I definitely have to give it to these guys. They definitely turned a very awkward location and made it work. The food was not only delicious but it definitely stood apart from all other breakfast menus. The biggest thumbs-up was definitely the service. Charlie is the man.

    Food was great, service was fantastic, and the ambiance was very charming. And they had good coffee! A cute little hidden gem in South Maui. Great find for locals like us, and worth it for tourist wanting to get out of the typically touristed areas.

    Last Spring, 2014, my father was here for a visit, and we ate at Chez Meme. The food was ok, but the bread was moldy, and it was a complete shock to us as their bread is known for being awesome. We were disappointed and thought we'd never return again. This last winter, craving French toast, I decided to give Chez Meme another try. I was told to pick a seat anywhere I like, and I chose a cozy seat by the window. The breeze wafted through, and I could hear the soft chatter of the diners outside. It seems most people choose to sit outside, but can you blame them? With such a great view of the Uhaul trucks across the street, who wouldn't love the view? My waiter appeared, and he was a far cry from the gal back in March. He was alert, pleasant, and knowledgable about the food and specials. He brought me my coffee (which was very tasty) as I looked over the menu. I chose the 2 egg breakfast with eggs over easy, potatoes, and bacon. I added a side of the famed French Toast and asked that the toast that comes with the 2 egg breakfast be left off the order. I didn't want to overload on bread. When the meal arrived, the eggs were a perfect over-easy - not too crisp or brown on the edges with a perfect soft dome of yolk. The true test was when I broke the yolk. It wasn't too runny, and it wasn't at all firm. It was perfect. I devoured the slightly-seasoned potatoes. Unfortunately, a lot of cooks over-season breakfast potatoes, but not Chez Meme. Their potatoes were so perfectly cooked, and they needed very little seasoning. The bacon had a flavor I cannot find the words to describe. It was absolutely sublime. Never in my life have I tasted such wonderful bacon. It was perfectly crisp and had a fantastic flavor that is too awesome for words. I would go there again just to eat the bacon. The French Toast slice was served with whipped cream and a small serving of Canadian Maple Syrup. I am not a fan of maple syrup. I use it sometimes in cooking, but so sparingly. I dipped my fork into the syrup and tasted. I had never tasted maple syrup like it before. Instead of the strong maple flavor I usually taste, the flavor was subtle and so softly aromatic that I poured a delicate stream of it onto the French Toast. The French Toast itself was creamy and buttery with a crisp crust. I quickly gobbled it down along with the whipped cream and the lovely stream of Canadian Maple Syrup. Everyone can be wrong. I was wrong to avoid Chez Meme for all those months, and I wish I had given them a second chance sooner. The food is fantastic, and I quickly forgot the Uhaul trucks parked outside. Chez Meme is a MUST TRY for residents and visitors alike. They are located off the main strip of Kihei restaurants, and they are well-worth the visit. And to answer the question lurking in all your minds - "Was the baguette moldy?" While I didn't order a baguette this visit, all of the food I ate was fresh and perfectly cooked. Chez Meme outdid themselves yesterday, and I will definitely go back for another time.

    Quite the hidden gem. The cheesecake turnover and chicken Tuscany omelet will change your life. A must eat in Kihei. Ask for Kendall. She is the bomb.com .

    We found this place through Yelp, otherwise we would of never found it because it's on a quite street and kinda hidden. LIKES: Lots of parking. Opens at 7am! Very relaxing atmosphere. Food was organic and tasted fresh. Food made me feel healthy eating it. Didn't take long at all to bring out the food. Potatoes weren't greasy and tasted organic and we'll cooked. Very clean bathroom and area in general. Good hygiene. Filtered drinking water. DISLIKES: Small menu not many meat options for a carnivore. I felt like there was nothing on the menu I wanted until they told me about the seared Ahi Tuna special which saved the day! Server didn't check up nor gave eye contact and I was out of water until she came with a bill. Summary: I will definitely come back here with family because eating healthy and good hygiene is the key.

    You've heard the joke a bunch of times, right? About how the whales do all their jumping and family-making in Maui but don't eat because it's too expensive to eat in Maui? Many places in Maui charge more for poorer quality, because they can. Let me point you at breakfast place that is both reasonably priced and delivers quality. Hello, Meme! I had a custom omelet with their homemade pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes -- twice, it was so good -- and let me tell you, this is hands-down the best pesto I've ever had. The drip coffee? Yes, oh my yes. Latte? Yum. While everything I ate wasn't five-stars -- the potatoes were merely very good, for example -- the overall experience, from location to courtesy and service, most assuredly was. That pesto omelet rocked my morning. Oh, and their chorizo? Wow. I don't even like chorizo, and I was impressed. If you are a chorizo person, you must absolutely have their chorizo. Really. That good. The owner stopped by our table to find out how everything was, and he was charming and genuine, answering my questions about Maui and helping us figure out what to do with our day. He even gave me real cream -- not that half-n-half stuff -- for my coffee. (I probably shouldn't tell you that. Oh well-- sorry, Ryan!) Get off the main drag and have breakfast at Meme. Tell them I sent you and that you want the pesto omelet with mozzarella. Maybe they'll name it after me. :)

    I have been visiting since they opened - the location is a bit misleading (industrial area) but it certainly serves a need for Kihei, specially after Stella Blue's closed down. So the basis for my review is my various visits (I've probably eaten there 10-15 times over the past couple of years) and what I see as a general trend. First, let me say that this is a VERY solid establishment, serves good fairly-priced food. My issue is with the service. Now that they are getting busier, service is taking a BIG step backwards. The past few times, it is taking longer and longer to get served and any follow-on service is non-existent. The reason for my review is that I took my family (2 adults, 2 children) out to breakfast this morning and service is at a point that I needed to voice my opinion here. It took over 5 minutes from the time we were seated to get the menus, from the time we ordered another 15 minutes for our drinks to be served, and over 40 minutes to have our food served - none of food was labor-intensive or slow-to-cook. From the time food was served, the waitress did not come check on us once - not ONCE. Not to check how the food was, to see if we needed anything else, or even to pour more water. The waitress is a sweetheart and has a great personality, but that doesn't make up for the fact that food service was completely lackluster. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get through breakfast. I will give them another try in a few weeks, but for now, only worth 3 stars in my eyes.

    Do not get thrown off by its industrial-looking surrounds. This little place is a gem! Loved all the breakfast items we ordered--French toast brioche, loco-moco, and Portuguese sausage with two over-easy-eggs on rice. Yum! Service was attentive and terrific! I will go back here again next time I'm on Maui.

  • Josh J.

    By far the best breakfast I had in Hawaii- even though it was an hour from my hotel. I tried the poached eggs, toast, and bacon dish at a lot of places and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. The poached eggs were perfect, no water on them and a slight hint of vinegar. The toast was baguette buttered and toasted on the stove. The bacon was crispy but not black anywhere. Hollandaise just tangy enough and very flavorful. Definitely eat here for breakfast no matter where you stay in Maui.

    (5)

  • Lindsay J.

    Solid spot for breakfast - off the main road and if you are looking for a view, this isn't it. But lots of open air and light. Service is ok- they probably needed one more on waitstaff. French toast was really good - I don't like eating dessert all day long so we just got a side. The chicken omelette was good, but not a fan of the toast. It was way too thick and was hard/stale. Good jam. Would we come back ? I don't know maybe, but would probably try somewhere new.

  • Craig A.

    Tucked away is this hidden gem. You cannot leave this area of Maui without stopping here. Small, intimate and delicious food. Staff is wonderful. Certainly one of the best breakfast/brunch places you can visit anywhere in south Maui.

  • Britt C.

    This place was great! A little off the beaten path, but worth it to avoid the tourist traps. You could tell that the owner was really passionate about his business and was very welcoming. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, which had delicious smoked salmon with perfectly cooked eggs and a perfect hollondaise. It came with crispy potatoes and a baguette with homemade jam. My husband ordered one of their specials which was a guava stuffed french toast. If they have this on special, order it! Stuffed french toast can tend to be a little too sweet, but the acid of the guava really balanced the dish out. It was fantastic and something different than what we've tried before. I would highly recommend Cheze Meme and will be back if I visit Maui again.

  • Les L.

    Chez Mimi is a little breakfast spot in an somewhat industrial area of Kihei. It's a pleasant little restaurant with a french bistro theme and big, open windows. Their eggs benedict was okay, with well-poached eggs and ham over an english muffin and a nice hollandaise but the accompanying home fries were very tough, as if they had been both overcooked and a day old. Like most items on the menu, the plate also came with a toasted slice of baguette which is sourced nearby. I wanted a smaller plate so I cobbled together a few side dishes, like a few slices of bacon, scrambled eggs - very buttery!, and again, the toasted slice of baguette.

    A must. Delicious. Friendly. Our waiter, Charlie, was extraordinary. He had great suggestions for food and advice on things to do and see in Maui. Our kids loved him! The owner, Sharon, was warm and inviting as she personally welcomed us to her restaurant. The French toast is incredible. And their almond milk latte was perfection. Homemade brioche. Need I say more?

  • Greg S.

    I thought I'd like this place but it was a big disappointment. The maple rolls looked delicious but were incredibly dry. The Moco Loco was plain nasty - the patty was an overcooked hockey puck, the gravy was had red wine in it (breakfast food?), and the dish was bland. The omelettes were sitting in a vat of grease, the breakfast potatoes were a combination of over and under done, and the Benedict also disappointed. On top of it all, the male servers had an underlying attitude (perhaps they were trying to act 'sassy'?); I heard one lecturing a patron on a mocha 'I'm not trying to difficult, I just don't understand what your asking for. Mocha is just chocolate - do you want coffee with it or not?' - really? A mocha has always been a latte with chocolate and no foam. Always. Overall just a disappointment - and this feeling was consistent with our entire party of 5.

    Second visit for breakfast and it is amazing how service can determine how much you enjoy or do not enjoy your meal. First time everything was great. Very friendly and excellent waitress. Second time, not so much. Food was very good, but waiter Elijah not so much. Ordered make your own omelet, with cheese, chorizo, and peppers. Came without cheese. Once food came never checked on us again and coffee cups remained dry through out breakfast, never a good thing. Well to his credit he took the coffee off the check, after I mentioned the lack of coffee, so that was nice. Oh well, the food still makes this place well worth the spotty service.

    Food and service are amazing. Our server was incredibly polite and informative. He knew the menu like the back of his hand. Food itself was also amazing. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict special for the day - it included fresh Mahi Mahi and avocados from upcountry. Hollandaise sauce also had a slight lemon zest, it was spectacular. I got the espanol omelette with a side of Portuguese sausage, the potatoes and the toast in the side were perfect. We also were convinced to try the French toast, with all of the food we ordered we hesitated but out server promised we wouldn't be disappointed. He was so right! It was light, fluffy, yet perfectly crispy. Awesome find, glad I came here.

    4 stars is a stretch - 3.5 is more like it. Chez Meme, oddly, is located in what appears to be a house in a light industrial neighborhood. The waitress confirmed that it once was someone's home, but then was a lawn mower repair shop before becoming Chez Meme. The decor is open and very plain - a bare tile floor with a few tables inside and a couple of pictures on the walls. The large windows have screens but no glass, so this is sort of open-air. There are also a few tables outside, but not a real patio area. The food was good, but not exceptional. There is a french flair to the menu, but it still has the usual suspects for breakfast. They have french pastries that looked good, but we did not try any. The waitstaff was friendly, but not particularly attentive. As examples, they didn't bring around a carafe to pour more coffee. When asked for an item, like more coffee or more syrup, it took quite a while for it to come. Normally, when a customer, already eating, asks for something, that means please bring it now, not after I'm done with my meal. Prices were not high, but not cheap either. Breakfast for 2: $45. The overall impression is they are amateur restauranteurs, still learning how to run a good restaurant. This is not a bad restaurant; it is friendly and decent food. But it is not a must visit place either.

  • Mike D.

    We really wanted to like this place and there are some nice aspects to the restaurant. The indoor/outdoor space is comfortable and pleasant, service was quite amenable, and the owner (manager?) seems interested in his customers. However, our lunch just didn't meet our expectations. My fish sandwich had too much sauce on it, the bread on the other sandwiches was too hard, and the prices were a bit too high. Perhaps breakfast is their strong suit.

    Best French Toast on the island! Found this through Yelp and so happy we did! We've been having lots of expensive buffet breakfasts at the resorts (the one at the Grand Wailea is the best of the bunch), but we opted for a more low-key one off the beaten path and were delighted. It really is off the beaten path- had to stop and ask a few different people. Kind of in the middle of nowhere in Kihei. Lots of locals, so you know it's good. The most delicious French Toast I've ever had in my life!! Yummy POG juice. Amazing mocha latte. Husband loved his eggs more than any of the buffets we've been to. The pastries looked amazing, but we were too stuffed to try them. Only negative is that there isn't much of a view. But if it was oceanfront, I'm sure the wait would be crazy long and the prices doubled. Our waitress, Kendell, was super friendly and attentive. Next time we are here, we will visit Chez Meme for sure!! Mahalo!

  • Jane E.

    Probably the best breakfast I have had. I enjoyed the special which consisted of a slice of ham topped with Gruyere cheese and then topped with a poached egg on a homemade piece of thick cut sour dough bread. The potatoes were hand cut and not from a bag. Finished off with a homemade croissant and homemade jam. Oh and did I mention that a generously sized mimosa is a mere $6.95. A little off the beaten path but well worth it!!

    We found this place on Yelp and scurried over there. I love that we can find off the beaten course places due to social media. Thank you Yelp! First off, I want to say that the owner is the nicest guy you could ever meet. He was super attentive and obviously passionate about his place. The decorations and location were delightful with plenty of parking and nicely landscaped gardens. Very relaxing and beautiful out of the hustle and bustle of tour town. The food was okay. We got the mahi mahi Benedict that we had read about on here and the owner was nice enough to put in the order even though it was a special only offered on Sundays. The order arrived quickly and was beautifully plated. But... the hollandaise sauce was off. It was bitter. Must of gotten some bad lemons that they used that day. We had a hard time putting our finger on it but finally figured that out. Everything else was perfect, great service and place. Reasonably priced too.

    Honestly I have no idea why this place has even more than two stars. Very slow service. Not so friendly waitresses. No sunshine in the room. It feels like we were sitting in a cold shabby locker room. It took more than half an hour for the food to come out. Then there's only one bathroom you have to wait in line for a long time. Good was just ok. Nothing so special. Never coming back again.

    Great place for breakfast. Chuck was a fantastic server, really good personality to start the day. We had the French toast trio and that banquette breakfast sandwich. Chuck kept recommending things that was just hard to decline. Glad he did though, awesome brunch and end of our trip to Maui. If you go here, try to get him as your server.

  • Julien B.

    Nice ingredients, friendly service, and good jam! We had the egg sandwich for brunch, which I felt was a big difficult to eat. The baguette was cut and toasted so hard that it was more of an egg scramble with hard toast on the side, and less of a sandwich. Nice space and location, and our server was very friendly and prompt!

    Off the beaten path and fabulous. First thing they offer croissant and chocolate croissant. Of course we had to share one! Husband had the Willy Baguette and I a spinach, mushroom, & Gruyere omelet. Both excellent. POG was great, not to syrupy sweet like most. The best, in house made mango ginger jam. Oh my. We will stop by before going home and try their lunch menu.

  • Mike K.

    Simply stated we dissent from the notion of "hidden gem." We wanted very much for this to become our go to breakfast spot, but found it to be more zircon than gem. The service was friendly but desultory. At one point the waitress, acknowledging the delays, offered the non-apology that things were "crazy" this Sat morning at 10:00 am. The tables were less than half occupied. I'd hate to see it crawl at capacity. The real demerits come with the food itself. Priced the same as a resort hotel, we expected more than we got. The highly touted French toast was gummy, and relied on its toppings to gain approval. The pastry was served cold and even when warmed was mediocre. The omelette had quality ingredients and was made creamy in the French manner, but was skimpy as was the accompanying pile of sautéed potatoes. The single slice of toasted French batard was a nice texture and the homemade berry jam was quite pleasant. On the whole this $15 pp French breakfast was less satisfying than a trip to a Mimi's.

    This place proves that quality ingredients is the key to excellent food. Local eggs from free range chickens (that are everywhere!) made the best scrambled eggs ever. Homemade jam, pastries, and bread. They've recently added dinner a few nights a week, which should be equally excellent.

  • Carrie S.

    This was a little off the beaten path from all the touristy stops in Kihei, and my husband and I were ready to try something different. We both started with coffee and I tried a pumpkin pastry that was buttery and flaky the way a pastry should be. My husband ordered the banana french toast, which he loved. I had the eggs benedict and it was disappointing. The english muffin had some kind of weird sourdough flavor and the ham was meh. I'm a big eggs benedict fan and this fell short. There were hits and misses here, with the price definitely bringing it down a star. $45 for breakfast for 2 people is a bit steep in my opinion.

    Spectacular brunch/breakfast food. We did a late brunch and there was plenty of seating available inside and outside. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Our server, Erin, was great and helpful with the menu and making sure we had everything we needed. She even caught a little hiccup on my son's French toast when it came out. They have beer and Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. All the pastries and breads are baked in house and are delicious! I really recommend the baguette Willy. It was wonderful. Great little place that is clearly a hit with the locals too which is always a good sign. Make sure to find the time to have a breakfast or a brunch here!

    This place is a total gem!! A little removed from the touristy places, it is still very close and accessible especially if you rent a bike. The place itself looks like a house, very airy and peaceful. We sat outside under a big tree and started sipping delicious, foamy lattes while listening to birds. I was craving French toasts and ordered the French toasts trio which was made with giant thick and fluffy brioche slices topped with bits of bananas, oranges, and caramelized pineapple(!!). with maple syrup and home made whipped cream on the side. Being French myself, I like to think I am pretty good at making French toasts, but the ones that I had at Chez Meme were honestly out of this world (AND as big as my head!). My boyfriend ordered an omelette with chicken and Pesto, that also came in a larger than expected size. The side home made diced potatoes tasted like....well, home made! Tasty, perfectly cooked and well flavored. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and made our breakfast the best part of our stay (being in the airline business, we unfortunately had only 24h to enjoy beautiful Maui). We were recommended this place by a co-worker and will keep talking about it to anyone who is planning to stay in Kihei. I am certainly going back on my next trip to try their baguette sandwiches! :-)

    This is a hidden gem but keep in mind it is a hidden gem meaning it's in the middle of nowhere and there aren't many people there. The good was good - but I wouldn't go back given that there is not really an atmosphere... as in we were the only people eating breakfast there. If you like a quite breakfast to yourself, then this is the spot.

    Went here for brunch today. We were a party of 2. The service was very slow. We got a chicken omelet and the French toast. They both tasted okay, nothing to be amazed about and was pretty pricey. Our meal came out to be almost $50. (Aside from the two dishes, we got a coffee and a tropical drink. ) This place seems overhyped to me.

  • Nicole H.

    I'm not sure why this place has such rave reviews. We came for breakfast. At first glance, the place is cute and clean. But the food is so mediocre. I ordered the latte and my husband had the cappuccino....both were horrible. The drinks were so watered down. We couldn't taste the espresso. Just so disappointing especially for a French cafe. The breakfast was also lacking in flavor because all I could taste was the oil they drenched my omelet in. Furthermore, the toasted baguette tasted like day old bread. Overall...cheap tasting food. Not worth the time, effort, and definitely not the money. On the bright side...service was good.

    What a find! Not to say that good food can't be found on Maui, but this caliber!? This place is AMAZING. From the moment we walked in we were surprised. The owner greeted us and was just delightful, without ever being overbearing. The baker came out to meet us - he's amazing by the way. The menu is creative and innovative, and every single thing we ate, from the outstanding baked goods, to the multiple twists on eggs Benedict, to the homemade jam and stellar coffee - was DE-LI-CIOUS. We are from the Bay Area/Wine Country, so we're very lucky and foodie trained by default. I would frequent Meme Baguette Bistro every weekend if they opened here. It's THAT GOOD. And the prices were very reasonable, especially when you consider the quality and location. Only open for breakfast and lunch, we were tempted to linger on (it was 11:00 am) throughout the evening to see if we could convince the chef to make us dinner too. Chefs here in the Bay Area could learn a lot from this place about ambiance, great food, casual dining and excellent pricing. My only lament is that we found the place on our last day. Now I know where to go on the first and every subsequent day of our next trip!

    As soon as we walked into the restaurant, I was excited to have found this hidden jewel. Not the usual main street, noisy kind of place in Kihei, that had been the norm for us for the last 10 days. Lovely environment, decor, comfy furnishings and no picnic tables. Alas, however, the food was a disappointment - especially for the price. I ordered a croque Madame, which I've had many times before, and prepared in my own kitchens, and what I got was an opened face grilled cheese with a deli slice of ham. Sure it was gruyere cheese and black forest ham, but this was not a Croque! I asked for a side of raw spinach and they didn't check to make sure they weren't including the decaying and wilted leaves also. Not pretty. Wish I could say we will try again, but likely not.

    The landscaping at this cafe is gorgeous. Loco Moco was pretty amazing. The Goat Cheese, Bell Pepper, and Onion omelette I had was delicious as well.

I am not saying the food was bad no. just not $41.00 It was kind of shocking YES I KNEW THE PRICE of each item. What I have tried to say is; the quality of the meal did not match the expectation of the cost associated with it.

    Little out of the way place in Hawaii. After three days of eating the same breakfast buffet at our hotel, everyone was looking to find something different. A quick look up on Yelp gave us this location. As we drove to the place, we noticed it is in a section of town that doesn't have much in the way of tourist attractions... in fact, it seems the place is located in a mostly industrial/car shop area. The place itself is very well kept, comfortable and well decorated. The service was excellent if only because it was the owners attending us and it showed that they were very appreciative of the business (we were a rather large group). The food was just great. We all ordered some version of their eggs benedict plates and they were perfectly prepared all the way around. We also had some french toast ordered for the middle of the three tables that we took up and they were the star of the show. Fluffy, not too dry and perfectly cooked with a little bit of a crunch on the outside. You know a sweet breakfast is good when you don't have to drown it in syrup.

    Great spot for breakfast - thanks yelp. Just a block or two off the main drag and worth it.

    We didn't feel like waiting in line at Kihei Cafe and wishing for coffee refills that would never appear. We checked Yelp and found Chez Meme... So glad we did! Lovely servers, delicious coffee, quiet setting. The omelette was delicious -- not just the filling but the eggs themselves were seasoned perfectly. I didn't even add Tabasco like normal so I could savor the flavors! French toast a hit with kids and adults alike. My husband's eggs Benedict best on the island. Bearnaise sauce PERFECT! Prices are comparable to Kihei cafe and mostless expensive than hotel restaurants. $10-$14/plate. WILL BE BACK!

    Found this place on our weekend vacation to Maui. A quaint bistro type. We had to wait a little while for our table as the place is small and busy. But it was Sunday brunch so can't complain :) Mimosas were nice. The French toast is delish....thick and filling. They also have lots of omelettes and you can crate your own. Service was great here too. Definitely recommend this place if you're visiting or a local foodie ;)

    On our last trip to Maui we went again to see if there was any improvement and there was. Our first table offered was not level so we were placed to table #22 where there were 2 spotlights directly in our line of sight and after several requests got them to be dimmed. We ordered 2 coffee's from the nice waitress and got 1. We were curiously asked when ordering Benedict's how we wanted our eggs cooked? Did not know that some people want poached eggs hard? Our salt shaker was caked and not functional due to the moisture, I suspect. The breakfast was very well prepared with a just adequate portion of potatoes.The homemade blue berry jam was spot on. Overheard that they do not serve dinner and its good to know that they understand that they should stay with their forte which is breakfast. Its always good to go to a place that the owner is actually the chef in the kitchen, takes more direct responsibility for the product.

    This was our best meal on Maui, and a prime example of why I love Yelp. We came here based on the reviews of others, and even though it was almost 50 minutes away from our hotel, we would have come back the next day if the tropical storm that hit hadn't messed up our travel plans. This is an unpretentious, French style bistro that specializes in breakfast and brunch. The bread is freshly made, the eggs are island local, and the service is wonderful. I had the Baguette Willy, which is fresh backed baguette, scrambled eggs, and a cheese and ham sauce over it. It was so luscious and indulgent I almost didn't eat the rest of the day, but it was worth skipping lunch, because lunch wouldn't have been this good. My dude got his usual of poached eggs, bacon, and toast (BRANCH OUT, DUDE!) but he got crazy and ordered a side of hollandaise so we could taste what the eggs benny would be like. It was fantastic, and I quickly confiscated it to pour on my potatoes. I can't recommend this place enough. There's outside dining, but the dining room itself features huge, open windows, and the day we were there, the breeze was so nice and calming. This would definitely be somewhere I came to sip coffee and read a book while nibbling on pastries if I lived closer. Don't pass it up.

    Food was great! The bf has the chicken tuscany omlette and I had the loco moco, gravy on the side. Very tasty! My advice if you don't want your loco moco swimming in sauce get it on the side. They add onions and mushrooms in it too. Its very light, not thick like most places. Also had the lilikoi puff pastry which was tasty. Service sucked. When we arrived they had us sit at a table that looked like they hadn't whipped it down yet. Sure enough the table was sticky too the touch. The waiter took about 5 minutes to come and take our order and then he poured mg bf's soda out of the can into a cup. It's okay but he didn't do it for any of the other tables he was helping. It took over 30 minutes for the food to come. Before even offering us a pastry he gave us our bill. I then politely asked him for the pastry choices. After we ate the pastry it took another 10 minutes for our check to come and another 10 for him to come back and pick it up. Mind your during our lunch the owner and an employee where having a work meeting in which the employee was upset due to the owners not following through on what they said they were going to do. I'm not going to take anyone's side or pass judgment but hey at least take your meeting in a private area not ones that is just covered with curtains. Long story short the cook/baker quit on the spot, then the owner took another group of employees in the same curtained room to tell them that the cook/baker quit, etc. This is all going on while we were eating..... Final Review: Food great, service sucked.... Sorry but no tip.

    Such a cute cozy breakfast place. Food was awesome! It's really hard for me and the lady to finish our plates(we always get stuffed really early in the meal) but we cleaned our plates.... I mean practically was licking them clean jk jk. The restaurant is awesome. I recommend sitting outside and they have some books for you to read as well.

  • Ryan C.

    Fantastic little place! We found it based on user reviews and the fact that the Kihei cafe had a line out the door. I have to say it's better than the other. One because your not eating on plastic tables, and two the food is just better tasting. It's also nice to note, nobody is giving you the evil eye to leave so they can get a table. Both times we have been here our servers have been knowledgeable and very kind. Cleanliness is the motto here, and I feel 100% safe with where my meal is being prepared.

  • Tony S.

    Wow talk about a hidden gem! I can honestly say this was the best breakfast I've had for as long as I can remember. Organic products and they make their own breads and pastries, need I say more? We started with the mango mimosas which are a most get and my wife had the eggs Benedict which looked like a piece of art and tasted even better. I had the special that day which was a homemade butter croissant which was so good it nearly brought tears to my eyes because I felt I was killing a unicorn. It came with eggs bacon an cheese and home fries. Portions are more than enough we skipped lunch that day. And they also show you all the fresh pastries of the day so you can add them to your meal. This is a must see place in Maui we are going for their lunch soon

    Ok so this place is a little quirky, odd location in an industrial area, although it is a pretty little house so...Anyway, who cares, the food is great quality, lots of it, delicious flavors, lots of choices and the price was just right. They were new when we first visited and we've been back on 2 other trips since. They just keep improving the place! Best breakfast we've had in Hawaii in a long time. Owner served us and was a very friendly guy. Gotta try all of the homemade jams, delicious!

  • Charles L.

    I went here with my wife for breakfast. I was initially skeptical since it is in an industrial type neighborhood. The building itself has a nice country home feel. The service was excellent. The place was clean. Ordered the 3 egg omelette and added salmon, mushrooms, and tomatoes. My drink was an iced tea. My wife ordered the eggs benedict. The food was excellent. The potatoes and bread with 3 berry jam was also scrumptious. They gave me a To-go cup for the iced tea for the road. For Maui, the price was reasonable. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice breakfast meal at a decent price.

  • geoff D.

    One of the best breakfasts on the island. Great deal for what you get, and an even better deal when you compare it to most of the hotels or places that are near the beach. It's a little bit off the main drag and in kind of a weird area for a restaurant, but it's definitely worth it.

    Awesome breakfast. Got there early, greeted warmly! Food was great, ambiance lovely. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Maui. We already mentioned this place to a bunch of friends who live here. Trio French toast, The Willy and Eggs Benedict....homemade mango/ginger chutney.....all delicious!

  • Kayan H.

    French toast with pineapple - this was okay, but I'm not a huge french toast fan. Tuscany chicken omelette - my husband and I fought over the last bite of this. it was sooooo good. On the menu, I was skeptical of the description but my husband insisted and what a great choice. Juice not fresh - surprised that they didn't have fresh juices here. Milk- on menu but only had whole, disappointing. Portuguese sausage - $4 for 4 small bites, not worth it.

    We had breakfast here and it was good. My husband's omelette was fabulous. I had the poached eggs, which were so so. It would have been nice if they toasted the bread. The bakery items were very good.

  • Gina C.

    Chicken Tuscany: organic eggs, feta, veggies, chicken breast with pesto was tasty and the flavors blend well. Loco Moco: was good, gravy was thin and the wine after taste was a bit over powering, but the egg did well to mellow the tang. Service: smiles and friendly. They did well to check in on your experience and knowledgable about the menu.

  • Andrea A.

    Sooooo good. Such friendly staff and great food. We got the French Toast Trio, Eggs Benedict with Ham, and a totally off the menu plate since my cousin is Vegan. They were totally accommodating, nice, and made us feel like we were the most important people here. Mango mimosas were great too!

    My girlfriend and I are visiting Maui for vacation. Today is our first morning at Maui. We visited this charming and cozy restaurant and were extremely pleased with our breakfast. She ordered the French toast and it was superb. I had the omelette and they were very open to my request of having only one yolk. The vegetables were extremely fresh. The homemade jam and French baguette were delicious. We loved our experience and breakfast. Our server, Erin, was very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

    In my book, the food was very mediocre, and the location was super funky. It seemed like an unfinished place to me, with lots of awkward empty space and inattentive staff. The lattes were decent, the breakfast was lackluster, relatively salty yet still flavorless. Not true french cuisine. I got the smoked salmon benedict (or some sort of benedict, I forget, thats how unexciting it was), and my husband got the eggs bacon and toast breakfast. Both were ok, nothing special. Not inclined to go back at all.

    It's rare that we'll go to the same spot twice on a trip, but with this bistro I don't feel like I missed out on anything by not choosing a new location. It's a bit tucked away in a rather industrial part of the island (there's a Goodyear tires across the street), but I think the food makes up for the lack of setting. The first visit we split two breakfast items: the French toast with bananas, and the Forestiere omelet with fruit instead of potatoes and maple bacon as a side. Maybe I was just happy that my wife agreed to share two entrees (an even rarer occurrence), but I felt like both dishes were very good. The French toast was light & fluffy, and only needed a drop or two or syrup for flavor. But the real surprise was the homemade mango ginger jam for the baguette. I think I would have been happy with a basket of bread & this exquisite topping. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. A great soundtrack played in the background with everything from French covers of 50's pop songs like bobby Darin's sailing to bossa nova. We opted to return to the bistro when the line (and seating) at Caffe Kihei appeared too daunting. This time I opted for the lamb sandwich while my wife got the French toast. However, our waitress this time was either still training or her Halloween costume (I she was supposed to be a German barmaid) was hampering her punctuality. Funny, cuz those Germans are usually so punctual. In any case, my wife ordered a chai latte, then after a long wait was told that they didn't have that option despite being served one on the previous visit. No problem, we're on Maui-time, no one is worried about the trains running, and the final result was a rather good latte.

    Very nice find in Kihei! Tried the Mahi Mahi Eggs Benedict - wasn't on the menu but our server, Kendell, was awesome to recommend. Nice portions, perfectly crispy hash browns and toasted bread with homemade jelly. Amaze-balls! These guys are doing a great job...check them out!

    French toast was pretty darn good. Setting was off the beaten path, but place itself had a nice clean charm to it. Also had an omelet and while solid with no complaints, it was not out of this world. We would go again.

  • Kirsty S.

    Got the french toast that everyone raves about and it was so soggy I had to send it back. Not soggy from the syrup, but I mean undercooked. Way overpriced and super small portions. Barely anyone in the restaurant and food took over 30 min to come out. One star because the Bloody Mary was good.

    This place is really nice and pretty quiet. Excellent outdoor seating area, very clean. Nice baked goods and delicious breakfast. I had the ham and gruyere omelette and it was cooked to perfection, though lacking in spice and flavor. This is my only really complaint. When we showed up, there were a few large parties so we had to wait a little longer. Our waiter brought us fresh mango macaroons to help make up for the slower services due to the high volume of people there before us. Everything was fresh and delicious and the home made jam was some of the best I've ever tasted. They also have a dinner menu which I would love to go back and try sometime.

  • D O.

    We stopped in for brunch, got omelets and Bloody Marys. I had the omelet with gruyere and onions, and it was delicious. Their papaya cinnamon jam was a great finish for the meal. I liked the food a lot, but was also pleased with the portion size. It was enough to get me full and no more. Perfect! Bloody Marys were mild but still very tasty and refreshing.

    (5)

  • Danielle S.

    Loved this place! We had fantastic omelettes and a guava cream pastry that I loved. The bacon was thick and crispy unlike the wimpy hotel bacon we had earlier. The homemade jam was out of this world. We also got great service and quality refills. :) Go early or risk the long wait! Still worth it!

  • Celeste F.

    Best breakfast we found on the Wailea/Kihei side of the island. Opens at 7 am which is great for us early golfers or if you're catching an early flight. They make their own bread and jam as well as pastries and Kaleb uses the freshest ingredients. It's located in an industrial area but you can sit indoors or outdoors and it's in a converted home. The service was always friendly and efficient. I love the French theme too! Forget standing in line at the much touted local hangout on the main drag in Kihei only to dine with chickens and roosters. Give this much more refined restaurant a try.

  • Brian O.

    The yelp reviews are spot on. This place is awesome. Obviously a little off the beaten path but well worth it. Amazing breakfast. Quality you can taste and enjoy. Taking a baguette and jam to go. We liked it so much we are coming back for dinner.

  • Carla H.

    I am an Eggs Benedict aficionado, and I try them everywhere--Chez Meme's were exceptional. The Hollandaise was perfection, and the tomato & spinach super-fresh. The mango mimosa was delicious--and generous. The waitstaff are warm and friendly. I've eaten there twice in 2 days, and will be back soon--my new go-to place in Kihei.

  • margot b.

    My husband and I, on our way to the airport, intended on trying the Kihei Cafe for breakfast due to their inordinate amount of positive reviews but after seeing the atrocious line out the door we agreed that there's just no place worth waiting that long to patronize - so we kept on driving and exploring yelp for an alternative. I'm glad we did since it brought us to Chez Meme. No lines, no fuss, easy parking and nicely landscaped, relaxed location just up a side street. THe service we received by the two servers that we engaged with was excellent. And the espresso drinks and breakfasts we ordered were perfect in terms of quality, presentation, and portion size. Think quality over quantity. Highly recommend the French toast! We carried on to the airport and it was there I realized I left my debit Visa card at the restaurant. D'oh! I called and asked them to mail it to me. They had it in the mail that same day and I had it in my hands a few days later. I can't thank them enough for their quick action on this. 5 stars all around. If I were a Kihei local Chez Meme is where I would frequent. Check the out!

  • Sarah H.

    We loved this place. Firstly, it looks like an old house, which is a little scary for someone who shows up at 7am to eat breakfast (we originally believed it wasn't open, or we were in the wrong place). When we realized that it was, indeed, the correct restaurant, we sat outside and the waiter came over to us to tell us about the place and their specials or favorites. I ordered the eggs Benedict, my husband ordered French toast and coffee. My eggs Benedict was delicious (and it's one of my favorite dishes!), and my husband loved his French toast as well. The waiter tried a few times to get us to buy some pastries, but both of us wanted a breakfast and not snacks so we politely declined. We did, however, get a vanilla latte, which was well-made (I love a coffee shop that can make foam well!) and my husband's drip coffee was superb. We had to fly out of Maui later that day but we would have returned had we been there longer (and if they were open a little earlier).

    This place is amazing. Sit and relax in a Hawaiian French atmosphere with large open windows to enjoy the Maui breeze. I saw a picture if the French toast and had to try it out, and it did not disappoint. The picture doesn't do this dish justice. Just get the trio.. comes with fresh fruit and raisins on top. Best breakfast in Kihei.

    Good breakfast value. I had the goat cheese, tomato omelet topped with homemade pesto! Yum, organic eggs too. Next time I want to try one of the home made pastries which looked amazing. James served us and made us feel welcome. They are launching a new dinner service and snagged a chef who worked at French laundry! Can't wait to try that too.

  • Matthew M.

    Good food, reasonable prices and a friendly wait staff. Breakfast croissant that I had was tasty and we all tried the gauva filled pastry which was excellent. Its off the beaten path a little and no ocean view, but has a nice vibe both inside and on the lanai.

  • Kai Z.

    Excellent breakfast, quickly prepared, but tasted great. I really liked the chorizo they had in their omelets and the passion fruit guava juice. They have a small selection of pastries to take home with you, but make sure to ask what's available because they run out or don't make certain bake goods depending on the day. Service was quick and curt, maybe a little too curt. The potatoes were less cooked than I prefer, but it wasn't a deal breaker. This place is very small and not easily found. It's definitely off the beaten path. It's close to a car rental facility called Kihei Rent a Car and near the popular south Kihei road area. The prices are moderate to expensive. I spent about $20 on just one meal. It was well worth the price and traveling. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Great portions too.

    Fresh, delicious and unique breakfast. Possibly the best breakfast we've had on Maui or anywhere. Sweet brioche used for the French bread is pillowy soft cinnamon bliss. Chèvre omelette was perfectly cooked with a creamy center and a delicious pesto garnish. We are definitely going back a couple more times for breakfast and we have to try the lunch menu because it looks delicious also.

  • Raymond R.

    Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed. I had the Eggs Benedict with smoked ham and it was superb. Best I've had really. They were kind enough to come by with a tray of baked good while we waited for the food. The Lilikoi cream puff was also great! The Bloody Mary was okay; a bit too spicy and no olives or garnish but I can't really complain about that. Excellent quality, nice portion size, and quality service makes this an easy 5 stars for me.

  • Allyson K.

    This was quite possibly the most delicious breakfast I've ever had. And they now serve mimosas!! It's definitely off the beaten path but well worth it. We got the Baguette Willy and the French Toast Trio - both were mind blowing! The service was fantastic too and the restuarant was not very crowded so it was easy to just relax and chat. If I ever make it back to Kehei, I will definitely be making a trip here. Thanks!

  • Pat C.

    Food was as expected for a Mom and Pop restaurant. An experience way better than a Denny's. Loco Moco wasn't exceptional, but it was tasty. Same with two egg breakfast. Atmosphere was great and staff very friendly. Would defiantly be worth coming back again, though I would be open to exploring other places too. I couldn't give it a 5 star because it missed the "wow" effect. High quality was there though. Come eat with confidence!

    Wonderful breakfast in a cute tucked away spot. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the pretty garden. The service was super friendly!! The Loco Moco was the best I've ever had in Maui. Gravy is more of a light sauce. Looking forward to coming again!!

    Tried breakfast here... Great food, great service. Hubby had a gourmet loco moco which I think they only serve on Sundays right now. It had wild rice with mushrooms which was super yummy.

    Exceptional! This place is a MUST. Off the beaten path, which makes it that much more charming. Owners are delightful and pleasant.

    Having eaten here many times I can say the food never disappoints unless it sells out before you arrive.

    Great food. We had the Chicken Tuscany Omelet and the Beef Bourguignon sandwich. Both delicious. The lilikoi pastry was tasty too.

    Great service and even better food!! I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon and tomatoes and my husband ordered the special which was a bacon scramble.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem, which makes it all the more special. Their French toast is so delicious and their omelets are yum. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart.

    Delicious breakfast food, great open air seating, and cheerful wait staff add up to a great place to have breakfast in Kihei. A fairly traditional breakfast lineup is done very well. Bacon doesn't usually vary much, but theirs was incredible, and their eggs benedict was the best my wife had tasted.

    Loved this restaurant! Hidden gem tucked away in an old boat yard? Don't let that fool you. It's clean, quaint, delicious! The waiter and waitresses were so friendly. Highly recommend it! We had breakfast, but would have loved to try lunch, but had no time during our short vacation. Yummy!

  • Jonny W.

    Great food! The owner was our waiter, very nice people! The only real problem is there not open much. The owner/waiter told us the reason is he doesn't want to miss out on raising his family. That made us like the place even more. Real good people real good food. This will become on of our weekly stops!

    Absolutely incredible french toast made with fresh brioche and served with pure maple syrup. Killer omelet with delicious chorizo and gruyere and just the right amount of spice. Perfectly brewed cappuccinos and lattes and kind, friendly service. A great place if you're looking for brunch or lunch in Maui. Open-air windows and comfortable seating makes for a great breeze while relaxing. Couldn't have been a better experience. Well done!

  • Collette D.

    We had 2 Mahi Mahi benedict's, Tuscan chicken omelette, mimosa, and 2 bloody marys. The Benedicts came out with hard yolks, they did re-make the plate for us. Requested the omelette without onions but ended up picking out small chopped onions from the mix. Flavors were good, but for the price I definitely can't give anything more than 3 stars. For $16 per plate the Benedict should be perfect. That being said, I'd probably come back on another trip to Maui because the omelette flavors were great and crave worthy.

  • Rachel P.

    Sometimes you find a place off the beaten path that enchants you. We found one today in Chez Meme. What a great find. Reasonable prices for sure but great quality more importantly. My partner in crime had the baguette Willy which was basically a ham and egg omelette served on an open faced baguette with a cheese sauce. He loved. The sauce wasn't overly heavy and the ham was "insane", in big chunks among the fluffy scrambled eggs. It was served with potatoes that were tasty. Success. I had the from 'ton sandwich which I can't stop gushing about. The same crispy soft yummy baguette with melty Brie, warm fresh pears, crumbled up candied pecans and a ridiculous garlic jam that I'm going to dream about, served with a salad. Got the ingredient list for that jam from the owner and will try it at home this winter. I also had a very light iced tea. But wait there's more. We somehow got talked into trying the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Just one. Made by the owner's wife. $2. Could charge $5 and I'd get it again. And again. It was that good. It's on a random road off the main S kihei rd drag in a cottage that used to be a repair shop. Beautifully painted, lovely garden, open windows. Somehow serene despite being across from a Goodyear shop. Open tables and room to expand which I think they will need. The owner Ryan is lovely and chatted with us for a while about how he started it, what they chose to do in terms of starting with breakfast and lunch and moving to dinner sometime soon. I only wish I could come back to try that. I'm sure it will be amazing.

    I was super excited to have lunch here with my girlfriends after reading many good reviews. It was a pretty big disappointment. We were a party of 4 and our lunch reservations were at 11:30 a.m. The server was very nice and answered all of our questions. Three of us ordered the Beef Bourguignon baguette and the other person ordered the smoked salmon baguette. About 5 minutes after placing our order, the server told us that they only had one order of the Beef Bourguignon available. This is a regular item on their menu, it was early, 11:30 a.m.. Clearly there is something amiss in the kitchen. Two of us selected a different item. My sandwich was fine, but way over priced for the few pieces of filling stuffed between the baguette. Prices are very high and the salad that comes along with the sandwiches was just basic, with a few greens that had seen better days. I was hoping to love this place but unfortunately it didn't happen.

    We just discovered this off the beaten path bistro and you should too. Great fish tacos!! Breakfast is also awesome. Check the French toast. Get a latte made by hand by Theresa. This place has heart and soul.

  • Irene T.

    Both food and service was A doubleplus good! I could not have asked for a better breakfast experience. The French toast kicks buns as well as the organic eggs. The special juice was extraordinary and they had nice bathrooms. I would definitely come back and/or recommend this outstanding restaurant to friends.

  • Nicole A.

    Had the French toast trio which was outstanding. The wait staff was attentive and seemed happy to be there. The location was off the beaten path but very accessible. The restaurant itself had some outdoor seating but was mostly open air inside and beautiful. The owner came out to talk to us which is always a nice touch. I definitely will be going back.

    Definitely quality food! They use fresh, local-baked bread, their bacon is thick & hearty, their eggs are fluffy and light, their breakfast potatoes are delicious - everything is delicious, really. So far, I've had their eggs benedict with spinach (hollandaise was amazing, spinach perfectly cooked, and I love that they use baguette instead of English muffin), Montagnarde omelette (Black Forest ham, gruyere, potatoes & onions), Baguette Willy (baguette with thick-cut ham, scrambled eggs & cheese sauce), and beef bourguignon omelette (yeah, I'm at a loss to describe this one. . .it's spectacular). The only downside is that everything is so good, I'm compelled to keep eating even after I'm full. I've been twice in two weeks now, and will be back again soon. Right after I clock some serious gym time.

    After a week in Maui, having entirely given up on finding a great breakfast here, I had breakfast at Chez Meme. I had the beef bourguignon (short rib) omelette, and it was so good I could not help making Yummy noises as I ate it ("Mmmm! Yum!") A few days before I had the raved-about short rib omelette at a bistro about a mile from here and it does not not hold a candle to CM's version.

    This is quite honestly the best French toast I've ever had, and I love French toast. The dining room is comfortable, the service is friendly, personable and prompt. The seating is surrounded by large open windows. They play Louis Armstrong! I'm glad to find a restaurant with great food where loud music doesn't ruin the experience.

    If you are looking for quality food this is it! I had ~Beef Bourguignon (beef short ribs, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and sour cream) today and it was fantastic. I special ordered it in the egg white version which I have found many places have an issue with or want to charge more but here no problem! I can't wait to return again. Great service and great food!

  • Eugene F.

    Saw the 4 1/2 Yelp rating so decided to try it for breakfast. Just an okay place but service was rather slow even though there was only one other table of guest. It's been two weeks and I can't even remember what we had. I'm looking through the online menu and still can't remember what we had. I remember that it was okay but can't remember anything else about this place. Oh well.

    Best French toast and breakfast potatoes ever. Omelette also supes tasty. Very fairly priced too. Was a little nervous pulling up as it's in this weird industrial area of kihei, but man it was good.

  • Michael W.

    As other reviewers note, this place is a little off the beaten path, but it's close to S Kihei road and Wailea. We went for breakfast at 8:00 on a Monday morning and there were only about 3 other parties. Our server was friendly and attentive and the kitchen served up delicious fresh omelets, thick bacon, and beautiful potatoes with buttery toasted baguette. Pluses include homemade mixed berry jam and lemon tea. Add to that, they have a lovely garden out front. We'll be back.

    we stayed in kihei for our ten year anniversary trip to maui, and yelp recommended this place for brunch. it was amazeballs. i had the tuscan chicken omelette, and my husband had an egg sandwich on a baguette. good coffee, delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. who would've thought a place across from a used car would be so good? but it is.

    What we liked best was that the food was all homemade, real food not overly processed and that they had real maple syrup for the French toast. The Olmert was made with fresh organic eggs and was light and fluffy. The owners do it all and are very friendly.

  • Hana M.

    Had a lovely breakfast this morning. The special was Eggs Benedict and it was perfect! Beautifully poached eggs on baguette toast (all their bread is baked on island) with black forest ham and delicious Hollandaise sauce! I am pretty picky about my eggs benny, and this was excellent! For 11.95 it came with potatoes (which were also nicely done, not the raw ones most breakfast places try to throw at you) and coffee for .95! This place is a little hidden gem...sounds like they are working on a liquor license and happy hour too, so stay tuned! * REVISED 3/24/13...Took my friends for the "perfect" eggs Benedict this morning and we were totally disappointed when the eggs came out hard as a rock...super over poached. Potatoes were also undercooked. :( Win some, ya lose some.

  • Terry S.

    Excellent breakfast today! Best meal in Maui- so far! Thanks Yelpers for your excellent recommendation. I had the ham eggs Benedict! Eggs were perfect! Potatoes were every nicely seasoned and crisp. You receive a generous sized coffee and tea! Excellent service in a laid back open air environment! We have to come back and check out the lunch menu! FYI- Breakfast is served all day

  • Dean D.

    Fantastic! Had the beef Bourginon omelette and it was perfectly seasoned. The fried potatoes were equally good, right down to the baguette toast. My GF had the French toast and also enjoyed this meal. This is a must visit place if you are in Maui. Don't skip this for good food and great atmosphere.

    (5)

  • Philip G.

    The chez meme is not the spot to come eat breakfast. Especially after 11am because the chef will refuse to make hollandaise sauce if they have run out. Also, don't count on them remembering your whole order as they forgot my friends whole meal, plus my side of French toast. Once they realized the mistake, they offered a free cookie for the late meal and free French toast. Then was told they had to charge for the late toast the toast so I told them to eat it. All in all... Food was semi good, the server meant well and chef sucked.

  • Bob C.

    Far from the maddening crowds. Off the beaten track, but worth the trek for sure! They have a sister restaurant in Vancouver. If you want great food, and not the touristy "fast-breakfasts" that you can find down near the ocean, this is *THE* place to go. French Toast, mind blown.

    Outstanding! This is by far the best place for breakfast we have been to in Maui so far. Owner Ryan is very friendly and passionate about his food. This place was recommended to us by a local. The french toast and eggs benny were amazing. We were stuffed and came out of there for under $60 for 4. Seriously, if your looking for a great place to eat offering great food at fair prices this is worth a shot.

    This restaurant is DELICIOUS! Definitely one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Their eggs benedict was amazing and came with perfectly crispy potatoes as well as tasty homemade jam and baguette toast. My husband had a goat cheese omelet which was delicious as well. Great service and great coffee too!

  • Lisa S.

    We found this place by reading others reviews. It is literally a hole in the wall location (in an industrial park), but the restaurant is a freshly updated house with open air feel, modern ceiling fans, and a "french bistro island chic" type feel. Salmon benedict was excellent, baguette with homemade mango/ginger marmalade was out of this world. Gruyere and ham omelet was excellent. Service was excellent, and the couple at our table next to us had lived on the islands for 37 years, and this was their favorite local spot. Has a casual airy feel. The house coffee wasn't that hot or amazing (but they do serve french press) It is an excellent value, maybe $10-$15 a person for entrees. Normal sized portions. Best breakfast in the kihei area, using a GPS to get there takes you to the back parking lot and there is a tiny little banner strung up. The best for us was the owner or host or manager providing us some dinner suggestions. They do take reservations as well.

  • K C.

    Really cute, clean spot with super friendly and prompt service. However, the food is marginal and pretty bland. The over-medium eggs were really runny. The omelette was nicely presented but again lacked flavor. The homemade jam was lovely. With a little more flavor this place could be a hit.

    (3)

  • Cara B.

    the atmosphere was fabulous. Heard about this place online, I know a guy who comes here regularly, so decided to check it out with a friend. It's in a little industrial area in Central Kihei. You sit in a semi-enclosed patio (with large window openings looking out onto beautifully lush landscaping) - just beautiful. service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Had the Jarret baguette - great flavor, the presentation was so-so (the salad tasted good, but looked like it had been sitting in dressing for a while). This appears to be a new restaurant. I'll give them another try as they work out the kinks and try their breakfast - the french toast reviews look very nice.

    What a great find; a real hidden gem. Arrived around 10 for a late breakfast. The waitress was super friendly and helpful, assistants get stopped twice to check on us. He was a both helpful with the restaurant details but also in providing details a d hints on our travels around the island. Now for the food. I had the forester omelet seasonal mushroom and herbs. Outstanding! The potatoes, which I normally pass on were homemade exceptional. My wife had the French toast with apes raisins and whipped cream. Both servings were nice size and reasonable. Highly recommend

It was delicious and went well with the incredible coffee. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Loved this place. Discovered it via Yelp on our visit to Maui and liked it so much we went back a second time. Great coffee in a french press. Delicious omelettes. Think of a little French bistro. The jams are a real treat: they're homemade. That makes a real difference.

    Lets start off by saying the new waiter we had had not a clue what he was doing we even asked if it was his first time serving ever and he said he had been doing it for 6 years he was horrible Brought the drinks to the wrong person and forgot one and for a table of 3 pretty bad and it wasn't busy! didn't bring spoons or cream for our coffee's didn't refill them or offer to so lets leave the expression 'Brings nothing to the table" as this establishments theme. He didn't bring us water left us sitting forever waiting to order now to the menu I heard the owner say that his chefs were Cordon blue trained culinary artists the food was terrible my omelet not only overpriced was an over cooked slop on my plate my friend's breakfast were eggs benedicts and the eggs were raw and they never gave us the option of soft medium or hard. Yuck wouldn't recommend or waste your money or time. Not worth it and don't expect this place to last.

  • Ellie W.

    Cute little bistro! Happened to come upon it as I was getting my oil changed. Hate the location of it, but I suppose I'll be coming here when I have to visit Goodyear. Had the eggs benedict which was poached to perfection. The hollandaise was not creamy enough and tasted a little watery. Baguette and homemade jam were both delicious. Potatoes were nicely cooked as well. Mimosa was good too, but $7 for a small glass? And apparently that was the double. I guess not horrible. The place is tastefully decorated with indoor and outdoor seating. My waitress was super sweet! However, management needs to improve on training as she offered me a mimosa and a quarter way through it mentioned I had to move because they weren't supposed to serve alcohol outside. I mistakenly brought my small dog with me so I had to remain outside. They ended up letting me stay at my outside table, but I felt like I was doing something wrong. At the end of the meal, when she brought my check, she told me that unfortunately in the future, the only pets allowed on premises are service animals, per her manager. I saw her manager walking around touching tables, but didn't have the decency to tell me himself. Needless to say I was a little embarrassed. I work in the service industry and felt this could have been handled a little better. Overall, I would definitely go back and recommend to my friends. However, before I put my name on it and recommend it to guests, I think I'll pay this place another visit just to be sure!

    The food was excellent, however the first thing you notice as you walk in is how clean it is. The staff came up to welcome us as soon as we walked in. They were very attentive and pleasant. It is a little bit off a major street however the drive is worth it.

    I stopped in at 12:45 for lunch. It wasn't crowded. I think most people go there for breakfast. The owner, who waited my table, is very cordial. I love that this is a family-owned business. I had the mahi mahi sandwich on a baguette with a side of fries. A small salad of fresh greens was included on the plate with the sandwich. The food was quite good. I will return.

  • Sky D.

    First time here. Boyfriend and I had baguette sandwiches for lunch. He had the Nordique, which is smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill and cucumber. With it he had the house made fries. Omg these things are good. I might come back just for fries one day. As for my meal, i had the Jarret with a salad. This sandwich is made with lamb shanks, garlic jam and a grainy dijon. The sandwich was sooo tasty. The way the salad was described to me was "good...made with mixed greens." But unfortunately it was terrible. Hence my low score despite enjoying the food/atmosphere here. The lettuce was more yellow than green, it was eithe iceburg or romain, i couldnt tell because it was chopped so small, came with a couple of diced tomatoes and a drizzle of dressing (the dressing was great). The greens were just not exceptable.

  • Lori C.

    Quaint, clean and friendly. This is not a "coffee shop" with greasy food. It's a cute cafe with a thoughtful menu of fresh ingredients. We had the french toast trio and a "build your own" omelet. The stars of this establishment are the baked goods. If you are looking for a non-tourist spot with home made food, don't miss this place.

    Great coffee, good food, great service! This is a hidden gem in Maui. It was not crowded when we went, and our waitress was excellent. We both got omelets, and they were very good. The potatoes and bread with jam were also great. We ordered coffee and a latte...both were great! We didn't have Bloody Mary's but they seemed very moderately priced. Only not so great thing about our experience was sitting outside. There were a TON of flies that swarmed our table when the food came out, but we should've known that would happen if we sat outside. Recommend sitting inside if you are going to eat here. Overall, awesome place to go!

  • Shauna L.

    The breakfast here is excellent. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful too. I can't wait to bring my parents here when they come visit us in October. I ordered the eggs benedict and my sweets got the French toast trio. Everything was cooked to perfection. Plus it was the perfect amount of food. We both cleaned our plates. I like that they have lattes and cappuccinos too. They have a couple tables outside where we sat and it was nicely shaded. I really want to try their lunch sometime. Looking forward to our return.

  • Anna J.

    This place was recommended to me so me and my husband went there today. Well not sure where all these raving reviews come from but the food is really not the greatest. I ordered a french toast with pineapple and he had the chicken omelette. Toast was bland and simply lacked everything, minimal fruit too. Omelette below average.

  • Allison S.

    I admit it: I'm a restaurant snob and an even bigger brunch snob. I found Maui lacking on the foodie front, but when Yelp's Nearby feature suggested I try out Chez Meme because it has a near perfect rating, my interest was piqued. One look at the review highlights, and I was sold: off the beaten path, a raved-over french toast, and an omelette with brie. Yes, please. Amy and I enjoyed our only truly good cup of morning coffee here--a nutty, sweet essence that didn't need sugar or even cream. We split the vegetarian benedict (Spinach and Tomato, I believe) and the chevre omelette (fresh tomato and goat cheese). The food was absolutely fantastic. The omelette was cooked just the way I like--done, but still just a little bit runny thanks to the fresh tomatoes. So flavorful. But the benedict was where this place really shined. The bread was fresh fresh fresh, the vegetables had the perfect consistency, the egg was masterfully poached, and the hollandaise sauce... Amy and I couldn't figure out exactly what made this as good as it was (a hint of lemon? the fact that the serving was generous but didn't drown the food? that it felt and tasted .... brighter than any other hollandaise sauce I've ever had?), but truly it was excellent. The only downside to the meal was that the omelette was also supposed to have pesto along with the goat cheese and tomato... but the other ingredients were so good alone that it didn't really need it. Spoke for a while with the gentlemen running the show, and complimented him on creating a lovely spot with great food at non-rip off, non-tourist prices. He said he really enjoyed what he was doing, that he has an excellent chef, and that the right customers seem to find him, mostly thank to Yelp. Pretty awesome experience all around. Good job. Definitely make the trip here if you're staying in Kihei or south.

    I would totally give this a 5-star after my first visit but then I went again and my experience was totally different so I have to drop a star, and I'm tempted to drop it by two stars. First visit was AWESOME! We had Brie as our waitress and she is beyond awesome. She is friendly, not pushy, helpful and really made our first meal here completely memorable. The food was fantastic! She said Chef Mike was cooking and everything was delicious. The French Toast was out of this world. Second visit was completely the opposite. We had a different server. He wasn't that friendly. And at the end, he came by our table with a piece of pie and asked if we wanted it. We all thought he was offering it as a free piece. But to our surprise, it was on our bill as $7!!!! I found this to be rather sneaky. If he wanted to sell the desserts, it should have been presented as "would you care for a dessert, we have an awesome pie", not as "here is a slice of pie, do you want it?" Overall, it's a cute place. I would totally go back, but only when Brie is working. BTW... The homemade jam is delicious! I wish they made it available for purchase.

    Great little place for breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delightful. The jam of the day was a mango ginger jam prepared by their owners mother. My wife got the french toast. She loved it. Great ambiance, warm and friendly service, reasonable prices, and delicious food are a winning combination.

    Lovely lunch at this gem of a restaurant just off So. Kihei Rd. Pat and I shared the most deeelicious veggie pannini sandwich and a pear salad with candied walnuts; a great glass of wine and lovely view of the garden. Service was excellent, ambiance fantastic and, ofcourse; one of my BFFs for a great girls day!

    Hard to find, but worth it! We had a delicious breakfast at a good price. I had the eggs Benedict Florentine and my friend the omelette with chorizo. The eggs were cooked exactly as ordered and the toast and potatoes were perfectly done. The homemade jam was delicious. Regular coffee was good! Simply decorated on the inside (which was refreshing, actually) and a beautiful garden out front. We will be returning again for breakfast and to try out their lunch plates.

    I chose this place for breakfast because of all the great reviews I saw and I have nothing but good things to add! We came here on our last day of our vacation and loved it! Some of us are picky, some not so much. The food was wonderful and there was something for everyone! The place is adorable and very clean, which is so important.

    This place sucks! Over priced. No flavor..the food sucks. Unless you like French toast. But other places in the are have better food. Ryan has no management skills. Cheap products. The only good thing they have is the dinning room but ths also tacky. Bugs everywhere even in my food. There's no stoping the flies there. If you wanna wait 2 hours for brunch drink shity two sip mimosa with disgusting food this is the place. Bon appetite.

    This was our last stop in Kihei before leaving Maui. We got together to have breakfast with some friends. It is located in a more industrial part of Kihei, but the restaurant itself is very quaint and pretty. Everyone got some good breakfast. They seemed to really enjoy their food, hence the 3 stars. I, on the other hand, tried out the Loco Moco for the very first time at any Hawaiian restaurant. The presentation was cool. The wild rice was a little unique and the sunny side up egg was delicious. The beef seemed a little under done, a little mushy and slightly pink. That was a little off putting, so I stopped eating it. My GI tract wasn't too happy with me later that afternoon, which was not good when I was about to get on an airplane. Maybe I just ordered it on the wrong day. Overall, get a regular, old school breakfast and your GI tract will thank you later.

  • Nirali D.

    Yum!!!! Had the espagnol omelet and it had so much great flavor! Husband had the eggs Benedict and it was also divine (stole a bite!). The chef made fresh cinnamon rolls that day, which I ordered. Based on appearance I didn't think it was going to be much, but it was a party in my mouth and a fantastic finish! The coffee was also really good, as well as the service. Off the beaten path, but if you want to go where the locals go...go here! Not the place to go if you want ambience, but who cares when you have great food!

    This is another THANK YOU to Yelp. We would never have found this treasure without you. We went for breakfast and tried items mentioned over & over in the reviews--splitting the French toast trio, the Eggs Benedict and a side of ham with freshly brewed coffee. Everything was perfect. The restaurant is beautiful and located away from most retail. It is worth finding.

    This nice little place is in an odd industrial area, but trust your gps; it got us there. We arrived during prime Sunday brunch time, but didn't have to wait at all for a table in the beautiful, open air dining room. Service was fast and friendly. Very good coffee. I had the eggs Benedict with smoked ham, which was very tasty with good hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs. My husband had the French toast trio and really enjoyed it. Their toast is made of French bread from a local bakery in Lahaina and was the best part of the meal with lots of butter and homemade strawberry jam. We'll be back to take the rest of our family.

    No doubt this place is off the main road and in a strange little corner. But OH MY GOODNESS! Amazing little cafe. Best place I have eaten so far in Maui. Will definitely be dining here again before I leave. I will recommend the French toast for breakfast and ask about their home made jam. It's unbelievable! Very fresh, very new, and very clean.

    We split the Eggs Benedict (with Mahi Mahi & Spinach) and it was a home run! Absolutely delicious: Mahi cooked perfectly, eggs poached exactly how we like 'em (soft) and even the homemade jam for the side of bread was dynamite. Super friendly waitstaff.

    What an awesome gem to find. Ryan the owner is so nice and their breakfast was a 10 out of 10. Chèvre omelet was amazing.

    What a great find! Cute little place tucked away, but worth taking the time to find it. Having freshly prepared French inspired food on Maui is a welcome change. All the bread is super fresh making for a perfect base/side for any if their egg dishes. I had an omelet with pesto, fresh tomatoes, and goat cheese - it was perfect! Light, fresh, and tasty. Also tried the French toast (a must have!!), an omelet with short ribs and onion (yummy!), and a sliced open face baguette with a ham scramble and cheese sauce (Delish!). As icing on the cake, the owner was very friendly and helped us pick our drinks/breakfast. The open feeling to the restaurant made for a perfect experience. Would love to come back!!!! Make this a stop early in your trip so you can go twice!!

    Had their french toast with some eggs and bacon. The bacon and eggs were pretty good; I had the bacon crispy and they did it just right. The french toast was good but needs some improvement. The order comes with fruit of your choice, and I selected pineapple. I didn't realize it but they add pineapple AND a syrup on top of the french toast, which makes it waaay too sweet. It was so sweet and soggy with the syrup that I did not even touch my maple syrup, which I would have much preferred. The bread for the french toast is a delicious, delicious brioche that they buy from a bakery in Lahaina so that makes it LEGIT! So, order the french toast but have the syrup on the side. Also, the service was friendly, but a little bit slow considering that we were one of two parties in the entire place.

    Great omelettes and french toast. Friendly owner - still working on him to offer fois gras. Hope for a dinner service soon. Off the beaten track so GPS it.

    Chez Meme Baguette was going to receive rave reviews until we received our bill. After we ordered, the waiter came to our table with a plate that contained a few pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and some pieces of chocolate chip pound cake. He asked if we would like to try something after indicating that the chef was also a fabulous pastry chef. My husband opted for a piece of the pound cake. When we received our bill, there was a $3.00 charge for it. I thought that was extremely tacky, as he approached us with the desserts. That negative experience aside, my husband did say that the burger he had was the best burger he had ever eaten. My French toast was nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was nice, as it is off the beaten path and they have large windows which were open with screens to prevent bugs. No a/c however, so even with the open windows, it still felt extremely muggy.

    Wow.....I'm a little upset that its taken me this long to find this place. We ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato....wowza! Super onolicious....I thought nothing could be better than this.....then I had a taste of my daughters French toast trio......wowza wowza wowza..... This is my new favorite breakfast place...oh and the mimosas!!!!!!!! Eat there...trust me it was amazing!

    I decided to stop here on a friend's suggestion because I had a doctors appointment in the area. First time I was here I sat inside in their airy one-room restaurant. The whole time I was inside I was longingly looking at the outdoor patio section and knew that's where I would be the next time. Unbelievably the waitress who had me last week remembered my name. I couldn't remember her name, sadly. When the drink came it was exactly as ordered last week down to the almond milk detail. Impressive really!! Who actually does that these days on Maui? Kendall at Chez Meme does that! This time I ordered the eggs benedict with capers and smoked salmon. Delicious! You could have your eggs cooked three different ways.... I chose medium so it had just the right amount of runny-ness but not too much. And don't get me started about those cute little mini toasts at the bottom of each egg!! So cute!!! All of their bread is homemade and I had to try their French toast for the first time. Kendall suggested I try the strawberries on the French toast and not wrong. Just the right amount of sweet and tart to go with the homemade French toast. I look forward to heading back!

    What's Good - Go here for the food which is tasty and over all high quality, in large part because it is prepared using local fresh ingredients (local brioche, a local Portuguese sausage, and fresh veggies). The outdoor seating is really nice when the weather supports it. In this area i'd rate them a 4 on 5 What's Not Good - The service was spacey and impersonal. Food wait times felt unreasonably long. We were there at 9:30 am, when the place was 60% full and it took 45 min to get eggs and sausage. We found it hot and muggy on the inside (this is perhaps better in the night). Rating 2/5 Overall, this is certainly a one time visit and more if you have a good experience.

    We found this little gem right here on yelp. It's tucked away so you really have to look. When we first walked in I noticed the homemade turnovers. We tried the triple berry.... Mmm sooo good!! In fact I'm craving one right now. I ordered the banana French toast. What kicks up their French toast is the homemade brioche bread. Oh sooo good. They also use it for their toast along with homemade jam!! You won't be sorry for trying this place. We will definitely go back.

    French menu items always raise the bar immediately for me and I was not disappointed. Chuck our waiter was funny and attentive and we enjoyed a private breakfast outside. He recommended eggs Benedict and the French toast trio so we dove right in. Absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness and freshness. If you're looking for pastries, they start baking them close to when the restaurant opens so if you come right away you may not get one. However, we got the first mango turnover right out of the oven- yum! It's not cheap but the food gives the feeling of gourmet and I wish I had enough time in Maui to try everything on the menu! Update (changed to 4 stars): on our second visit, due to the business the food quality suffered. Two of our three pieces of French toast were burnt and the whipped cream looked like it had been sitting awhile. Hopefully this was just a fluke because our first trip was so spectacular!

    Seeking a brunch place after a quick bite, a Yelp bakery search brought us here. It's not far from our hotel, about a fifteen minute drive from the Grand Wailea and definitely has a local feel. As you walk up the steps, you feel as if you are entering someone's home, which it probably was at some time. The menu is posted in front and their baked goods are generally displayed at the front counter which was bare by the time we arrived around 11 am on a recent Sunday morning. We decided to have lunch here and there were only three or four occupied tables. There are three dining areas: outside to the left of the building or either of two dining sections separated by a walkway to the kitchen and a restroom (the other restroom for men's is outside and to the right). After debating between a breakfast meal or a sandwich, I chose the beef bourguinon sandwich ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ). The sauce was nicely flavored and decent amount of onions but wished a bit more mushrooms... me and my shrroooooms! The beef was less of a beef stew or chunk and more like a pulled pork texture though the flavors were consistent with the red wine sauce profile. Our young waiter was both enthusiastic and had that aloha spirit in refilling water glasses and checking on our needs. Wish we got to try more things but, as you know, timing is everything! Would stop by again if in the area and hope to try some of their daily specials which are made with local ingredients and fruits.

    I learned about Chez Meme by online reviews when I was looking for a new restaurant to try. They serve breakfast all day, but they also have sandwiches, which is what I was craving. The location is a little out of the way, but it's not hard to find. There's a large parking lot in back, and the owner told me that people are able to leave bicycles against the building. I arrived at 1:45pm -- shortly before their closing time of 2pm. I was able to place my to-go order. The server was friendly and helpful. The owner came out to talk with me, and he was very nice. There's a sister restaurant near Vancouver, Canada. The food was fresh and good. I had the daily special -- mahi mahi with rice and a salad with a goat cheese or creamy butter topping. I was able to try both. I also ordered a Beef Bourguignon sandwich to take to work since I was told it reheats well. It was also very good! All in all, the food is top notch, the restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly. If you arrive after 12pm, the pastries are 2 for 1.

    Found this breakfast spot on yelp! Great food and awesome service! Food tasted fresh and homemade from the jam, bread, pastries, fruit, and entrees. Off the main road but not hard to find. I got the French toast trio with fresh pinnapple, Apple, raisins, bananas ...

  • Alyssa J.

    I forgot we had been here last year but after seeing the menu I'm pretty sure I had the goat cheese omelet last year as well. Portions are generous here and food is pretty tasty. Service is nice here. The drawback to this place? There are way too many flies to sit back and leisurely enjoy your food. Maybe it was the particular day but I eventually found myself hovering over my meal because the effort of constantly shooing flies off my plate/ glass we too much to deal with.

    #100in2015 (#41) Brunch here was very pleasant. Indoor and outdoor tables are available and the screen porch like vibe is relaxing. We had lattes and a cinnamon roll to start with (bready rather than flaky) and then the special which was croque madame. Filling, with thick fresh bread and fried potatoes on the side. Very good homemade jam. Solid performance.

  • Lev L.

    Stumbled upon this place right before we were headed to the airport for our flight back home. We were in a bad mood but once eating breakfast here we were back in high spirits. I first tried the Bavarian cream turnover it was amazing light and flaky with not too much Bavarian cream to over power the pastry. I had an omelet it was cooked to perfection the house potatoes were outstanding. All of the bread they serve is homemade so the toast was perfection. Add a little of their blueberry jam and becareful not to bite your finger off when the toast is done. My wife had the French Toast which ofcourse I helped her finish because the portion is really big. It was fluffy and moist and the fruits on top apple, banana and raisins were incredible. Our 10 hour flight back to ny was much better because we came across this cafe. The ambience is nice you can either sit inside or out. I highly recommend this place but eat here early in your vacation because I can bet you will want to return.

    Somehow my hubby stumbled on this gem when he was on the island. He raved about it so much he looked up their one additional location in Vancouver, BC and took me for breakfast (even more impressive when you realize we live in Southern California). At any rate, the BC location blew my socks off. So when we came to Maui I couldn't wait to try this location. Omg Canada has nothing on this! The lilikoi and guava pastries are AH-mazing! My hubby loves their French toast with pineapple I had a breakfast croissant that would make angels weep. Even their basic toast with homemade jam is spectacular! We have dinner reservations booked and I'm so excited to see what they do with the night menu. If it's even half as good as their breakfast menu I'll die happy:)

    A self-described breakfast snob, I am always on the hunt for a great morning meal. During my most recent trip to Maui, I found one at Chez Mēmē Bistro & Bakery. Open only about two years at the time of my visit, the restaurant didn't show up on any social media radar when my wife and I last visited Maui about 18 months prior. Now, though, things are different and I am about to add my praise to the list. Located in an industrial area about a quarter mile off S. Kihei Rd., right across from a Goodyear Tire Center, it would be easy to miss, which would be unfortunate. Greeted by the server as I was perusing the menu posted on the lanai, I was invited to take a seat wherever I was comfortable, either at one of a handful of outdoor tables or inside the restaurant. I chose to eat indoors but quickly realized the large picture windows were actually screens, not glass, allowing the trade breezes into the room but keeping the bugs and birds at bay. My server brought coffee as I weighed my options. To my delight, the coffee was dark and rich, not like the lighter Kona coffee that is served in so many places on the islands. He then told me that house-made turnovers had just come out of the oven and listed the various fruit fillings available. I chose the lemon curd, and found the crust incredibly delicate and flaky, with a great sweet-tart filling. Topped with a drizzle of sugar glaze, it was absolutely spot on! I had been eying the Brioche French toast served with pure Canadian maple syrup, fresh whipped cream, powdered sugar, and my choice of pineapple, caramelized apples and raisins, or bananas. However, combined with the turnover, that would have been a fairly carb-heavy breakfast, so I decided on the breakfast of two eggs, Portuguese sausage, sautéed potatoes, and homemade toast and jam. The eggs were perfectly scrambled: neither too dry nor too moist. The sausage was better than many I've had, with a little more spice than others which seem little more than coarse-ground hot dogs. House-made rye toast and three-berry jam topped things off. Portion size was perfect as well: not so large that my choices were either to stuff myself or waste food, but large enough that I left satisfied. The breakfast menu contained other items including the café's take on the loco moco. While breakfast is served any time the place is open salads, sandwiches and soups are also on offer for lunch. Chez Mēmē is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., seven days a week. I am sure I'll go back.

    My mom and I were looking for a good place for breakfast, so I consulted trusty Yelp. Boy, the reviews don't lie. This place was absolutely peaceful, relaxing and worth every penny. Everything we had was delicious and fresh. The basil is from the owner's garden and they bake all breads and pastries fresh daily. The service was wonderful and our server, Charles, was funny and friendly, without the forced overbearing feeling you can get from servers trying to hard. Try the Chevre Omlette, french toast trio, any of the fresh turnovers, and the spicy, refreshing Hawaiian bloody mary. We're going to try to come back before we leave in a few days. Yum!!!

  • Campo W.

    Our waitress is nice, thats why this place gets an extra star, yup, food was... Basic. You want no flavor holandaise sauce on your eggs? Come here., you want a plate of eggs and a tiny sliver of sausage? Come here! The jam was great tho, they ran out so we plan to come back to buy some to take home.

    Couldn't be happier. Great service at 8:45 on a Monday morning. We had the French toast, a butter croissant special sandwich with eggs, mozzarella and bacon, eggs Benedict with ham, Portuguese sausage and a slice of French toast (we were full). The food was all fresh and delicious, the delicious jam perfect on everything. Fresh vanilla latte to go along with. Truly worth trying and we will be returning!

    After eating a boring breakfast at Kihei Caffe earlier in the week, I was happy to find this cute little house/cafe on Yelp for breakfast. We were greeted by a friendly staff who let us sit wherever we wanted. I ordered the French Toast with caramelized apples and raisins which came with 2 pieces. My husband had the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Ham. I usually don't order French Toast, but this one was the best I've had. Better than the one we had at Kihei Caffe! The Canadian maple syrup was delicious too and the portion was just right so although I gave 1/2 of one to my husband, I finished my plate. The sautéed potatoes that came with the eggs benedict was fresh and tasty. I only wished that they served better tasting coffee. The mug was huge so I didn't need any refills, but it just tasted bland like water. Either they're not using good Hawaiian coffee or they didn't brew it properly. Overall, good breakfast and enjoyed our last meal in Maui!

    BEST breakfast place in Maui! I will be recommending Chez Meme to all my friends. The pineapple French toast melted in my mouth and the turnovers were to die for. My kids had the smoked ham eggs Benedict, strawberry French toast, & eggs with portugese sausage and home style potatoes. They loved their dishes as well. Great job Chez Meme! You all rock!

  • David A.

    Horrible, different chef, different breads, bad experience!!! It appears all the pictures on Yelp are from 2014 and it's not accurate to the experience we had today on 8_29_15. Just would like everyone to know... Suggestions are: bring the old baker back or update menu stating no baguette. The toast that came with the omlete dish was a piece of Frech Toast, minus the French part, not a nice crunchy toasted baguette... They also refused to take off the French Soup, totally different then discribed on menu and was so watery and no layer of cheese... Just frustrated paying $100 for breakfast and it was not anything near what u expect, latte was like warm extra milky coffee...

    I love, love, love this place. I've had one less than favorable experience but it's forgivable, considering how delicious the food is and how cool and kind the servers are. Chez Meme also has one of the cutest lanais in Kihei--it's a garden! In France! Except you're in Kihei!--and their selection of baked goods is fantastic. I hosted my mom's birthday party here and couldn't have had a better morning with her. Go, go, go--you will not regret it.

  • Dennis S.

    I'm afraid their popularity has effected this great little restaurant. The delicious edge has gone off their breakfast items. Crowded at breakfast time in mid-January, service was still good and reasonably quick. But my omelette, which was suppose to be ham and raclette cheese, was a plain egg omelette folded over some pieces of ham and a bit of cheese. On only three bites could I begin to taste the cheese. Nothing was mixed into the eggs. Basically it was one lousy omelette by the lowest of standards. My wife's baguette was similarly disappointing, from the bread to the ham to the sauce. That was especially disappointing, since their bread was a highlight of our previous visits. But they were busy and obviously are making it into the tour guide books. We'll leave them for the tourists to enjoy.

    Food here is quality. The fruit on the French Toast Trio is really fresh. The staff is amazing and has a lot of info about what to do around the island. Expect so items to be a tad high on the cost side but hey....it's Hawaii. The pastries are also good.

    Went for dinner last night and it was wonderful. I had the meatloaf with garlic mash potatoes with incredible mushroom gravy, and a fresh pineapple mojito.

    Me and my bf are from Oahu... on Maui for our 5 yr anni... first glance at this place, looks like a converted home to bistro. Cute decor. Nice open seating. Amazing service! THANK YOU KENDALL!! Got a cappuccino and caramel americano. YUM! Ordered french toast trio and beef bourguignon omelet. Both were sooooooo amazing! I hope this place never changes, so when we visit Maui again, it'll be just like we never left! (P.S. good luck with the dinners, I'm sure you'll do well!)

    If you are staying in Kihei, or anywhere in Maui for that matter, this breakfast is D-elicious. Like if you're scrolling through right now trying to find out where to go for breakfast, GO HERE. I am quite hard to please when it comes to Eggs Benedict, however the special today, Mahi Mahi Eggs Benedict, sounded too good to pass up... And man am I glad I didn't! Amazing. Big portions, big flavor. Also served with a slice of toast with homemade jelly, and I never eat toast with jelly, but damn was it good. Lastly, Double shot latte w/ vanilla. To die for. Will be back here every time I visit Maui.

    Burt says Chez Meme is ChezAwesome!! A little bit off the path. Turn away from the ocean at Maui Dive Shop on Kihei rd. It's a Nice little house turned cafe. Burt thinks they have Great latte's. Everything Burt's had from here has been very good. Standouts being Mahi mahi tacos! All freshly cooked pastries, and bacon! Highly recommended for breakfast and lunch. Burt and the old lady have not been for dinner but Burt is gonna drag her fat ass out soon. Look for an update.

    5 stars x a million. Are you kidding me... Real delightful French food on Maui, on a small side street. Breakfast until 2 pm plus lunch menu after 12. Now they are opening for dinner 3 days Per Week. These chefs make the classics look easy to serve up... Beef, Lamb, French onion soup. It was all Amazing! Do try this delightful restaurant! You will think you are sitting in Bordeaux, except there is a warm friendly Aloha vibe and a translator is not necessary. The coconut macaroons have a little pineapple touch that is so refreshing!!!l We will definitely come here again

    Off the beaten path is the truth and worth finding. Walked into a light crowd at 9:30am. Instantly greeted by our waitress Kendelll and seated. Very cool little place with great ambience considering the industrial location. Coffee, tea and mango mimosa were all very good. French toast with apples and raisins, another with bananas were both awesome. Personally I did not need the Canadian maple syrup but the kids liked it. Bacon was some the best any of us have ever had! Definitely get a side of bacon you will not regret it. I got the daily special omelette with chicken, spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella which was very good. The homemade three berry jam and bread kicked ass. If not for under cooked poached eggs it would be a 5 star. Overall another great meal and experience in Maui, food and service both excellent.

  • Mark S.

    I have no idea how anyone gave this 4 stars. We were very disappointed. We felt "stalked by the waitstaff. I had a fair omelet which was nothing special. The potatoes were bland and tasted unseasoned. My girlfriend's omelet which sounded so good was also underwhelming. What was also surprising is that for a place which closes at 3 in the afternoon you can't get a sandwich until 11 and we had to beg for an average soup at 10:45. My girlfriend had not even eaten half of her omelet when they asked if she was done. She had just taken a bite. After a while the entertainment for us was watching how frequently the waitstaff interrupted other customers meals and conversations. This is the only disappointment I have had in eating out for as long as I can remember.

    If you are tired of eating a greasy gut-bomb or huge portions for breakfast, and want healthy, fresh, flavorful dishes served less than 4 inches tall, Chez Meme is for you. I had a chevre, tomato, spinach, Portuguese sausage omelet which was SO good I can't wait to try to replicate it at home. My boyfriend had the Benedict which was devoured instantly. Quality light, tangy hollandaise sauce. People who chatted with us nearby all recommended the French Toast Trio, so that appears to be the local favorite. Ask for the Triple Berry jam and skip the mango apple ginger jam (both are house made). It's a big, brightly lit room with little privacy and a lot of light, adorned with a couple French-themed decorations. Really a beautiful place, and not a common sight out here in this beach town.

    If you like french toast then this is the place for you. I was craving french toast and found this place on yelp and decided to take my family there. Their french toast with bananas is amazing and probably the best french toast ive ever had. Portions are plenty and prices aren't bad either.

    We went here twice during our last trip to Maui. The food is good and the ambiance nice, and the location is definitely out of the way. Food - Five (5) stars: I had the two eggs scrambled on the first visit and the three (3) piece french toast (with all the toppings) the second time. Both times the dishes were very tasty and well done. The price is a bit on the expensive side of things, but you will be happy with the flavors. Service - Four (4) stars: The servers were attentive to us during our visits. They seemed very friendly and talkative. One server (not ours) was really talkative (at another table) and talked loudly during our second visit, which actually took away from the experience a bit. Location/Ambiance - Four (4) stars: It is a bit out of the way but the paintings on the wall and the atmosphere make up for the road trip. The dining area is very open to the outside. The only down side is that it is located in the middle of a bunch of automotive repair buildings. I guess they think good food (and it is good) will make up for the location. I hope it does. Miscellaneous - Two (2) stars: Maybe it's the location or maybe it's just Hawaii in early January, but be aware that if you eat here you will be assaulted by a few very aggressive flies. We battled these flies both times we visited. We spent half the time swatting them away from our food and the other half eating the food. My wife and I actually took turns - I would eat and she would stand guard, and while I was chewing I would stand guard and she would eat. Maybe it's a seasonal thing and I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in any other reviews. The staff are aware of it, but I think they should be more proactive in addressing this nuisance. All in all four (4) stars. We will definitely go back on our next trip to Maui but if the flies persist it may likely be our last visit to Chez Meme Baguette Bistro.

Despite it being in a industrial area, I was so glad to have found this place through yelp even when it had only 14 reviews. I'm glad to see it thriving and most importantly I miss their French Toast :( I have not yet found one quite like it. I must come back soon to get my fix soon :P

    Please consider this spot for breakfast when you are on Maui in Kihei. There are a number or wonderful reasons to eat here. First, the ambience is very special and difficult to find in many parts of Maui. You will feel like you are walking into the home of your grandmother for breakfast, which is a really nice feeling. The restaurant is clean and the chairs are super comfortable. There is a semi private room and overall seats about 75 people total. Chez Meme is known for Their French Toast, but they also have a nice selection of omelets and have Eggs Benedict. There are other offerings on the breakfast menu and they are open 7 days a week starting at 7 AM currently. The also have a lunch menu. You can check out their web site for yourself and I LOVE the recipe for the three berry preserves and brought a jar home with me. It's made by the owners Mother! God Bless her, it is the best ever! Give it a try at Chez Meme Baguette Bistro, for a comfortable dining experience. You can use your google maps and probably their web site for the location/directions. it's off of the busy South Kihei Road on a quieter street across from the good year tire place in Kihei. Enjoy!

    Had breakfast there today. Cute place, definitely off the beaten path. My partner had the Eggs Benedict, I ordered the Montangarde omelet with ham, gruyere and onion. I was disappointed that the omelet had so much raw onion. Once removed, the omelet was fine. Eggs Benedict were great, no complaints there. Would definitely return, lunch offerings looked good too.

    This is a great off the beaten path place to eat. They have done a great job of making it feel like eating in a courtyard as opposed to eating on a busy street. Couldn't decide between breakfast (served all day) but settled on the French toast. It was melt in your mouth good. Sandwiches looked fabulous too. Will be back for lunch

    Had an omelette that was excellent and the wife loved her mahi mahi eggs Benedict. Lived up to the hype!

    This was alright but did not live up to previous reviews. My French toast was burned outside and soggy inside with not enough banana. Husband couldn't eat his potatoes because they were too undercooked. He thought the Hollandaise and smoked salmon was excellent, though. Pretty pricey for what it was. Also, I was pretty annoyed the waiter kept asking how are WE were doing and how OUR first bites were. I dunno dude, are YOU eating with us?

    Loved this restaurant! Hidden gem tucked away in an old boat yard? Don't let that fool you. It's clean, quaint, delicious! The waiter and waitresses were so friendly. Highly recommend it! We had breakfast, but would have loved to try lunch, but had no time during our short vacation. Yummy!

  • Jonny W.

    Great food! The owner was our waiter, very nice people! The only real problem is there not open much. The owner/waiter told us the reason is he doesn't want to miss out on raising his family. That made us like the place even more. Real good people real good food. This will become on of our weekly stops!

    Absolutely incredible french toast made with fresh brioche and served with pure maple syrup. Killer omelet with delicious chorizo and gruyere and just the right amount of spice. Perfectly brewed cappuccinos and lattes and kind, friendly service. A great place if you're looking for brunch or lunch in Maui. Open-air windows and comfortable seating makes for a great breeze while relaxing. Couldn't have been a better experience. Well done!

    The trip yelp reviews led us there otherwise never could find it. It located at no where. The food are extremely good so is the service. Very relax and fresh. Great for brunch.

    We had 2 Mahi Mahi benedict's, Tuscan chicken omelette, mimosa, and 2 bloody marys. The Benedicts came out with hard yolks, they did re-make the plate for us. Requested the omelette without onions but ended up picking out small chopped onions from the mix. Flavors were good, but for the price I definitely can't give anything more than 3 stars. For $16 per plate the Benedict should be perfect. That being said, I'd probably come back on another trip to Maui because the omelette flavors were great and crave worthy.

    Sometimes you find a place off the beaten path that enchants you. We found one today in Chez Meme. What a great find. Reasonable prices for sure but great quality more importantly. My partner in crime had the baguette Willy which was basically a ham and egg omelette served on an open faced baguette with a cheese sauce. He loved. The sauce wasn't overly heavy and the ham was "insane", in big chunks among the fluffy scrambled eggs. It was served with potatoes that were tasty. Success. I had the from 'ton sandwich which I can't stop gushing about. The same crispy soft yummy baguette with melty Brie, warm fresh pears, crumbled up candied pecans and a ridiculous garlic jam that I'm going to dream about, served with a salad. Got the ingredient list for that jam from the owner and will try it at home this winter. I also had a very light iced tea. But wait there's more. We somehow got talked into trying the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Just one. Made by the owner's wife. $2. Could charge $5 and I'd get it again. And again. It was that good. It's on a random road off the main S kihei rd drag in a cottage that used to be a repair shop. Beautifully painted, lovely garden, open windows. Somehow serene despite being across from a Goodyear shop. Open tables and room to expand which I think they will need. The owner Ryan is lovely and chatted with us for a while about how he started it, what they chose to do in terms of starting with breakfast and lunch and moving to dinner sometime soon. I only wish I could come back to try that. I'm sure it will be amazing.

    I was super excited to have lunch here with my girlfriends after reading many good reviews. It was a pretty big disappointment. We were a party of 4 and our lunch reservations were at 11:30 a.m. The server was very nice and answered all of our questions. Three of us ordered the Beef Bourguignon baguette and the other person ordered the smoked salmon baguette. About 5 minutes after placing our order, the server told us that they only had one order of the Beef Bourguignon available. This is a regular item on their menu, it was early, 11:30 a.m.. Clearly there is something amiss in the kitchen. Two of us selected a different item. My sandwich was fine, but way over priced for the few pieces of filling stuffed between the baguette. Prices are very high and the salad that comes along with the sandwiches was just basic, with a few greens that had seen better days. I was hoping to love this place but unfortunately it didn't happen.

    We just discovered this off the beaten path bistro and you should too. Great fish tacos!! Breakfast is also awesome. Check the French toast. Get a latte made by hand by Theresa. This place has heart and soul.

  • Irene T.

    Both food and service was A doubleplus good! I could not have asked for a better breakfast experience. The French toast kicks buns as well as the organic eggs. The special juice was extraordinary and they had nice bathrooms. I would definitely come back and/or recommend this outstanding restaurant to friends.

  • Nicole A.

    Had the French toast trio which was outstanding. The wait staff was attentive and seemed happy to be there. The location was off the beaten path but very accessible. The restaurant itself had some outdoor seating but was mostly open air inside and beautiful. The owner came out to talk to us which is always a nice touch. I definitely will be going back.

  • T L.

    Definitely quality food! They use fresh, local-baked bread, their bacon is thick & hearty, their eggs are fluffy and light, their breakfast potatoes are delicious - everything is delicious, really. So far, I've had their eggs benedict with spinach (hollandaise was amazing, spinach perfectly cooked, and I love that they use baguette instead of English muffin), Montagnarde omelette (Black Forest ham, gruyere, potatoes & onions), Baguette Willy (baguette with thick-cut ham, scrambled eggs & cheese sauce), and beef bourguignon omelette (yeah, I'm at a loss to describe this one. . .it's spectacular). The only downside is that everything is so good, I'm compelled to keep eating even after I'm full. I've been twice in two weeks now, and will be back again soon. Right after I clock some serious gym time.

  • Ann G.

    After a week in Maui, having entirely given up on finding a great breakfast here, I had breakfast at Chez Meme. I had the beef bourguignon (short rib) omelette, and it was so good I could not help making Yummy noises as I ate it ("Mmmm! Yum!") A few days before I had the raved-about short rib omelette at a bistro about a mile from here and it does not not hold a candle to CM's version.

    This is quite honestly the best French toast I've ever had, and I love French toast. The dining room is comfortable, the service is friendly, personable and prompt. The seating is surrounded by large open windows. They play Louis Armstrong! I'm glad to find a restaurant with great food where loud music doesn't ruin the experience.

    If you are looking for quality food this is it! I had ~Beef Bourguignon (beef short ribs, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and sour cream) today and it was fantastic. I special ordered it in the egg white version which I have found many places have an issue with or want to charge more but here no problem! I can't wait to return again. Great service and great food!

  • Eugene F.

    Saw the 4 1/2 Yelp rating so decided to try it for breakfast. Just an okay place but service was rather slow even though there was only one other table of guest. It's been two weeks and I can't even remember what we had. I'm looking through the online menu and still can't remember what we had. I remember that it was okay but can't remember anything else about this place. Oh well.

    Best French toast and breakfast potatoes ever. Omelette also supes tasty. Very fairly priced too. Was a little nervous pulling up as it's in this weird industrial area of kihei, but man it was good.

  • Michael W.

    As other reviewers note, this place is a little off the beaten path, but it's close to S Kihei road and Wailea. We went for breakfast at 8:00 on a Monday morning and there were only about 3 other parties. Our server was friendly and attentive and the kitchen served up delicious fresh omelets, thick bacon, and beautiful potatoes with buttery toasted baguette. Pluses include homemade mixed berry jam and lemon tea. Add to that, they have a lovely garden out front. We'll be back.

  • nicole p.

    we stayed in kihei for our ten year anniversary trip to maui, and yelp recommended this place for brunch. it was amazeballs. i had the tuscan chicken omelette, and my husband had an egg sandwich on a baguette. good coffee, delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. who would've thought a place across from a used car would be so good? but it is.

    What we liked best was that the food was all homemade, real food not overly processed and that they had real maple syrup for the French toast. The Olmert was made with fresh organic eggs and was light and fluffy. The owners do it all and are very friendly.

  • Hana M.

    Had a lovely breakfast this morning. The special was Eggs Benedict and it was perfect! Beautifully poached eggs on baguette toast (all their bread is baked on island) with black forest ham and delicious Hollandaise sauce! I am pretty picky about my eggs benny, and this was excellent! For 11.95 it came with potatoes (which were also nicely done, not the raw ones most breakfast places try to throw at you) and coffee for .95! This place is a little hidden gem...sounds like they are working on a liquor license and happy hour too, so stay tuned! * REVISED 3/24/13...Took my friends for the "perfect" eggs Benedict this morning and we were totally disappointed when the eggs came out hard as a rock...super over poached. Potatoes were also undercooked. :( Win some, ya lose some.

  • Terry S.

    Excellent breakfast today! Best meal in Maui- so far! Thanks Yelpers for your excellent recommendation. I had the ham eggs Benedict! Eggs were perfect! Potatoes were every nicely seasoned and crisp. You receive a generous sized coffee and tea! Excellent service in a laid back open air environment! We have to come back and check out the lunch menu! FYI- Breakfast is served all day

  • Dean D.

    Fantastic! Had the beef Bourginon omelette and it was perfectly seasoned. The fried potatoes were equally good, right down to the baguette toast. My GF had the French toast and also enjoyed this meal. This is a must visit place if you are in Maui. Don't skip this for good food and great atmosphere.

    (5)

  • Philip G.

    The chez meme is not the spot to come eat breakfast. Especially after 11am because the chef will refuse to make hollandaise sauce if they have run out. Also, don't count on them remembering your whole order as they forgot my friends whole meal, plus my side of French toast. Once they realized the mistake, they offered a free cookie for the late meal and free French toast. Then was told they had to charge for the late toast the toast so I told them to eat it. All in all... Food was semi good, the server meant well and chef sucked.

    Far from the maddening crowds. Off the beaten track, but worth the trek for sure! They have a sister restaurant in Vancouver. If you want great food, and not the touristy "fast-breakfasts" that you can find down near the ocean, this is *THE* place to go. French Toast, mind blown.

    Outstanding! This is by far the best place for breakfast we have been to in Maui so far. Owner Ryan is very friendly and passionate about his food. This place was recommended to us by a local. The french toast and eggs benny were amazing. We were stuffed and came out of there for under $60 for 4. Seriously, if your looking for a great place to eat offering great food at fair prices this is worth a shot.

    This restaurant is DELICIOUS! Definitely one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Their eggs benedict was amazing and came with perfectly crispy potatoes as well as tasty homemade jam and baguette toast. My husband had a goat cheese omelet which was delicious as well. Great service and great coffee too!

  • Lisa S.

    We found this place by reading others reviews. It is literally a hole in the wall location (in an industrial park), but the restaurant is a freshly updated house with open air feel, modern ceiling fans, and a "french bistro island chic" type feel. Salmon benedict was excellent, baguette with homemade mango/ginger marmalade was out of this world. Gruyere and ham omelet was excellent. Service was excellent, and the couple at our table next to us had lived on the islands for 37 years, and this was their favorite local spot. Has a casual airy feel. The house coffee wasn't that hot or amazing (but they do serve french press) It is an excellent value, maybe $10-$15 a person for entrees. Normal sized portions. Best breakfast in the kihei area, using a GPS to get there takes you to the back parking lot and there is a tiny little banner strung up. The best for us was the owner or host or manager providing us some dinner suggestions. They do take reservations as well.

  • K C.

    Really cute, clean spot with super friendly and prompt service. However, the food is marginal and pretty bland. The over-medium eggs were really runny. The omelette was nicely presented but again lacked flavor. The homemade jam was lovely. With a little more flavor this place could be a hit.

    (3)

  • Cara B.

    the atmosphere was fabulous. Heard about this place online, I know a guy who comes here regularly, so decided to check it out with a friend. It's in a little industrial area in Central Kihei. You sit in a semi-enclosed patio (with large window openings looking out onto beautifully lush landscaping) - just beautiful. service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Had the Jarret baguette - great flavor, the presentation was so-so (the salad tasted good, but looked like it had been sitting in dressing for a while). This appears to be a new restaurant. I'll give them another try as they work out the kinks and try their breakfast - the french toast reviews look very nice.

  • Virgil H.

    What a great find; a real hidden gem. Arrived around 10 for a late breakfast. The waitress was super friendly and helpful, assistants get stopped twice to check on us. He was a both helpful with the restaurant details but also in providing details a d hints on our travels around the island. Now for the food. I had the forester omelet seasonal mushroom and herbs. Outstanding! The potatoes, which I normally pass on were homemade exceptional. My wife had the French toast with apes raisins and whipped cream. Both servings were nice size and reasonable. Highly recommend

    This place was amazing. We arrived early on a Sunday morning and were greeted by an amazingly friendly staff. Our waitress was personable and friendly and full of helpful information about the food and Maui in general. I had the omelet of the day which had shrimp, cheese, Maui onions, tomato and olives. It was delicious and went well with the incredible coffee. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Loved this place. Discovered it via Yelp on our visit to Maui and liked it so much we went back a second time. Great coffee in a french press. Delicious omelettes. Think of a little French bistro. The jams are a real treat: they're homemade. That makes a real difference.

  • B R.

    Lets start off by saying the new waiter we had had not a clue what he was doing we even asked if it was his first time serving ever and he said he had been doing it for 6 years he was horrible Brought the drinks to the wrong person and forgot one and for a table of 3 pretty bad and it wasn't busy! didn't bring spoons or cream for our coffee's didn't refill them or offer to so lets leave the expression 'Brings nothing to the table" as this establishments theme. He didn't bring us water left us sitting forever waiting to order now to the menu I heard the owner say that his chefs were Cordon blue trained culinary artists the food was terrible my omelet not only overpriced was an over cooked slop on my plate my friend's breakfast were eggs benedicts and the eggs were raw and they never gave us the option of soft medium or hard. Yuck wouldn't recommend or waste your money or time. Not worth it and don't expect this place to last.

  • Ellie W.

    Cute little bistro! Happened to come upon it as I was getting my oil changed. Hate the location of it, but I suppose I'll be coming here when I have to visit Goodyear. Had the eggs benedict which was poached to perfection. The hollandaise was not creamy enough and tasted a little watery. Baguette and homemade jam were both delicious. Potatoes were nicely cooked as well. Mimosa was good too, but $7 for a small glass? And apparently that was the double. I guess not horrible. The place is tastefully decorated with indoor and outdoor seating. My waitress was super sweet! However, management needs to improve on training as she offered me a mimosa and a quarter way through it mentioned I had to move because they weren't supposed to serve alcohol outside. I mistakenly brought my small dog with me so I had to remain outside. They ended up letting me stay at my outside table, but I felt like I was doing something wrong. At the end of the meal, when she brought my check, she told me that unfortunately in the future, the only pets allowed on premises are service animals, per her manager. I saw her manager walking around touching tables, but didn't have the decency to tell me himself. Needless to say I was a little embarrassed. I work in the service industry and felt this could have been handled a little better. Overall, I would definitely go back and recommend to my friends. However, before I put my name on it and recommend it to guests, I think I'll pay this place another visit just to be sure!

    I decided to stop here on a friend's suggestion because I had a doctors appointment in the area. First time I was here I sat inside in their airy one-room restaurant. The whole time I was inside I was longingly looking at the outdoor patio section and knew that's where I would be the next time. Unbelievably the waitress who had me last week remembered my name. I couldn't remember her name, sadly. When the drink came it was exactly as ordered last week down to the almond milk detail. Impressive really!! Who actually does that these days on Maui? Kendall at Chez Meme does that! This time I ordered the eggs benedict with capers and smoked salmon. Delicious! You could have your eggs cooked three different ways.... I chose medium so it had just the right amount of runny-ness but not too much. And don't get me started about those cute little mini toasts at the bottom of each egg!! So cute!!! All of their bread is homemade and I had to try their French toast for the first time. Kendall suggested I try the strawberries on the French toast and not wrong. Just the right amount of sweet and tart to go with the homemade French toast. I look forward to heading back!

    The food was excellent here! Location is a bit out of the way since it isn't on a Main Street but still easy to find. Chicken Tuscany omelet was good & the potatoes perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed the jam that came with the toast. The real star of the show however... The freshly baked Sticky Bun! Do yourself a favor and get this piece of heaven.

    I found them on Yelp before a one day trip in Maui. They did not disappoint. Waitress was attentive and "on it" We ordered Bloody Mary's (yummmmm) Their breads all fresh as well as their jams. Breakfast was excellent, food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Up Sold us on some bakery goods(excellent) Overall would go back again! Eggs BeneYUMMERS

  • Jessica L.

    Great breakfast!!! This place is reasonably priced and had fantastic "real" food, not the prepackaged frozen food you'll get elsewhere. This means you may have to wait an extra five minutes to have it delivered, but the very short wait is well worth it! We had the ham/Gruyere omelet and the chicken Tuscany omelet and both were great! Both were loaded with meat. The ham omelet was very flavorful and while the chicken omelet was slightly less flavorful, it was exactly the way a chicken omelet should taste! The jam is the bomb!!! They're starting to serve dinner on Fridays and Saturdays beginning this weekend and I can only imagine they, too, will be amazing. The staff was also wonderful and very attentive!

  • Elaine C.

    This was the first breakfast stop we made in Kihei. We actually tried to go to Kihei Caffe first, but the line was ridiculous and we were hAngry. We were seated right away and offered drinks. POG, coffee, water, all around. The fiance and I both got the loco moco because "when in Rome (Hawaii)..." It was quite good. It was a first for the both of us, so we didn't have anything to compare it to except for the fact that our tummies were super happy. Nice hand-formed, hamburger patty made with local beef. Perfect egg with a little runny yolk. And the gravy with mushrooms was really hearty and filling, but not overwhelming. It all reminded me of salisbury steak, but not in a bad way at all. All of this goodness over white rice. Delish. One of the ladies in our group got the French toast, which she really liked. Another gal got the Benedict which looked amazing and she said it tasted even better. But when can you ever go wrong with Benedict? They had just made some coconut macarons so I got a few of those to share. Quite good. Our server was very nice and the environment was great. Overall, great first breakfast on the island.

  • Queen G.

    I am updating my review because our breakfast was so good, we decided to go back for breakfast again...and we shouldn't have. It almost seems like we had a completely different chef. I ordered another omelette:..it was bland and flat:,,no seasoning and or flavor. It sucked. My potatoes were no where near as good as the day before..not even cooked all the way thru. My Hubby got a hamburger and he said it was the most boring hamburger he had ever had. Soooo...inconsistent seems to be the deal here. Either the chef was having an off day or they need to train there other chef to cook just as well as the previous one we had. Customer service is still awesome. Have not yet tried to the dinner menu...probably won't. But the deserts have not changed.,,incredible. So good!

  • Sly C.

    Breakfast here was good, but I felt a little deflated after reading all the rave reviews here on Yelp. I had the spinach & tomato eggs benedict, because that is my favorite brunch dish, and it was only okay. The hollandaise was good, as were the home fries. The eggs come on baguette slices, and although I heard someone who must have been the manager describing their baker as the "best free agent baker on the island," I was not impressed -- the baguettes were mediocre at best. I didn't feel at all tempted to get some pastries to go. (It might've helped if we could have seen the vaunted pastries...) We did get some macaroons to go, and they were tasty. Espresso beverages were tasty and service was excellent. If I were back in the area, I might come again and try the French toast or something.

    Truly amazed by the positive reviews! Just take a pass on this place. Very overpriced for the quality of food being served. How can they call this place a bakery! Stale,hard bread. Raw undercooked turnovers. Yuck to everything we had that morning.

  • Gary K.

    We found this place through Yelp, otherwise we would of never found it because it's on a quite street and kinda hidden. LIKES: Lots of parking. Opens at 7am! Very relaxing atmosphere. Food was organic and tasted fresh. Food made me feel healthy eating it. Didn't take long at all to bring out the food. Potatoes weren't greasy and tasted organic and we'll cooked. Very clean bathroom and area in general. Good hygiene. Filtered drinking water. DISLIKES: Small menu not many meat options for a carnivore. I felt like there was nothing on the menu I wanted until they told me about the seared Ahi Tuna special which saved the day! Server didn't check up nor gave eye contact and I was out of water until she came with a bill. Summary: I will definitely come back here with family because eating healthy and good hygiene is the key.

    You've heard the joke a bunch of times, right? About how the whales do all their jumping and family-making in Maui but don't eat because it's too expensive to eat in Maui? Many places in Maui charge more for poorer quality, because they can. Let me point you at breakfast place that is both reasonably priced and delivers quality. Hello, Meme! I had a custom omelet with their homemade pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes -- twice, it was so good -- and let me tell you, this is hands-down the best pesto I've ever had. The drip coffee? Yes, oh my yes. Latte? Yum. While everything I ate wasn't five-stars -- the potatoes were merely very good, for example -- the overall experience, from location to courtesy and service, most assuredly was. That pesto omelet rocked my morning. Oh, and their chorizo? Wow. I don't even like chorizo, and I was impressed. If you are a chorizo person, you must absolutely have their chorizo. Really. That good. The owner stopped by our table to find out how everything was, and he was charming and genuine, answering my questions about Maui and helping us figure out what to do with our day. He even gave me real cream -- not that half-n-half stuff -- for my coffee. (I probably shouldn't tell you that. Oh well-- sorry, Ryan!) Get off the main drag and have breakfast at Meme. Tell them I sent you and that you want the pesto omelet with mozzarella. Maybe they'll name it after me. :)

    Last Spring, 2014, my father was here for a visit, and we ate at Chez Meme. The food was ok, but the bread was moldy, and it was a complete shock to us as their bread is known for being awesome. We were disappointed and thought we'd never return again. This last winter, craving French toast, I decided to give Chez Meme another try. I was told to pick a seat anywhere I like, and I chose a cozy seat by the window. The breeze wafted through, and I could hear the soft chatter of the diners outside. It seems most people choose to sit outside, but can you blame them? With such a great view of the Uhaul trucks across the street, who wouldn't love the view? My waiter appeared, and he was a far cry from the gal back in March. He was alert, pleasant, and knowledgable about the food and specials. He brought me my coffee (which was very tasty) as I looked over the menu. I chose the 2 egg breakfast with eggs over easy, potatoes, and bacon. I added a side of the famed French Toast and asked that the toast that comes with the 2 egg breakfast be left off the order. I didn't want to overload on bread. When the meal arrived, the eggs were a perfect over-easy - not too crisp or brown on the edges with a perfect soft dome of yolk. The true test was when I broke the yolk. It wasn't too runny, and it wasn't at all firm. It was perfect. I devoured the slightly-seasoned potatoes. Unfortunately, a lot of cooks over-season breakfast potatoes, but not Chez Meme. Their potatoes were so perfectly cooked, and they needed very little seasoning. The bacon had a flavor I cannot find the words to describe. It was absolutely sublime. Never in my life have I tasted such wonderful bacon. It was perfectly crisp and had a fantastic flavor that is too awesome for words. I would go there again just to eat the bacon. The French Toast slice was served with whipped cream and a small serving of Canadian Maple Syrup. I am not a fan of maple syrup. I use it sometimes in cooking, but so sparingly. I dipped my fork into the syrup and tasted. I had never tasted maple syrup like it before. Instead of the strong maple flavor I usually taste, the flavor was subtle and so softly aromatic that I poured a delicate stream of it onto the French Toast. The French Toast itself was creamy and buttery with a crisp crust. I quickly gobbled it down along with the whipped cream and the lovely stream of Canadian Maple Syrup. Everyone can be wrong. I was wrong to avoid Chez Meme for all those months, and I wish I had given them a second chance sooner. The food is fantastic, and I quickly forgot the Uhaul trucks parked outside. Chez Meme is a MUST TRY for residents and visitors alike. They are located off the main strip of Kihei restaurants, and they are well-worth the visit. And to answer the question lurking in all your minds - "Was the baguette moldy?" While I didn't order a baguette this visit, all of the food I ate was fresh and perfectly cooked. Chez Meme outdid themselves yesterday, and I will definitely go back for another time.

    I have been visiting since they opened - the location is a bit misleading (industrial area) but it certainly serves a need for Kihei, specially after Stella Blue's closed down. So the basis for my review is my various visits (I've probably eaten there 10-15 times over the past couple of years) and what I see as a general trend. First, let me say that this is a VERY solid establishment, serves good fairly-priced food. My issue is with the service. Now that they are getting busier, service is taking a BIG step backwards. The past few times, it is taking longer and longer to get served and any follow-on service is non-existent. The reason for my review is that I took my family (2 adults, 2 children) out to breakfast this morning and service is at a point that I needed to voice my opinion here. It took over 5 minutes from the time we were seated to get the menus, from the time we ordered another 15 minutes for our drinks to be served, and over 40 minutes to have our food served - none of food was labor-intensive or slow-to-cook. From the time food was served, the waitress did not come check on us once - not ONCE. Not to check how the food was, to see if we needed anything else, or even to pour more water. The waitress is a sweetheart and has a great personality, but that doesn't make up for the fact that food service was completely lackluster. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get through breakfast. I will give them another try in a few weeks, but for now, only worth 3 stars in my eyes.

    Do not get thrown off by its industrial-looking surrounds. This little place is a gem! Loved all the breakfast items we ordered--French toast brioche, loco-moco, and Portuguese sausage with two over-easy-eggs on rice. Yum! Service was attentive and terrific! I will go back here again next time I'm on Maui.

  • Josh J.

    By far the best breakfast I had in Hawaii- even though it was an hour from my hotel. I tried the poached eggs, toast, and bacon dish at a lot of places and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. The poached eggs were perfect, no water on them and a slight hint of vinegar. The toast was baguette buttered and toasted on the stove. The bacon was crispy but not black anywhere. Hollandaise just tangy enough and very flavorful. Definitely eat here for breakfast no matter where you stay in Maui.

  • Lindsay J.

    Solid spot for breakfast - off the main road and if you are looking for a view, this isn't it. But lots of open air and light. Service is ok- they probably needed one more on waitstaff. French toast was really good - I don't like eating dessert all day long so we just got a side. The chicken omelette was good, but not a fan of the toast. It was way too thick and was hard/stale. Good jam. Would we come back ? I don't know maybe, but would probably try somewhere new.

    Tucked away is this hidden gem. You cannot leave this area of Maui without stopping here. Small, intimate and delicious food. Staff is wonderful. Certainly one of the best breakfast/brunch places you can visit anywhere in south Maui.

  • Ron L.

    I definitely have to give it to these guys. They definitely turned a very awkward location and made it work. The food was not only delicious but it definitely stood apart from all other breakfast menus. The biggest thumbs-up was definitely the service. Charlie is the man.

  • Britt C.

    This place was great! A little off the beaten path, but worth it to avoid the tourist traps. You could tell that the owner was really passionate about his business and was very welcoming. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict, which had delicious smoked salmon with perfectly cooked eggs and a perfect hollondaise. It came with crispy potatoes and a baguette with homemade jam. My husband ordered one of their specials which was a guava stuffed french toast. If they have this on special, order it! Stuffed french toast can tend to be a little too sweet, but the acid of the guava really balanced the dish out. It was fantastic and something different than what we've tried before. I would highly recommend Cheze Meme and will be back if I visit Maui again.

  • Les L.

    Chez Mimi is a little breakfast spot in an somewhat industrial area of Kihei. It's a pleasant little restaurant with a french bistro theme and big, open windows. Their eggs benedict was okay, with well-poached eggs and ham over an english muffin and a nice hollandaise but the accompanying home fries were very tough, as if they had been both overcooked and a day old. Like most items on the menu, the plate also came with a toasted slice of baguette which is sourced nearby. I wanted a smaller plate so I cobbled together a few side dishes, like a few slices of bacon, scrambled eggs - very buttery!, and again, the toasted slice of baguette.

    A must. Delicious. Friendly. Our waiter, Charlie, was extraordinary. He had great suggestions for food and advice on things to do and see in Maui. Our kids loved him! The owner, Sharon, was warm and inviting as she personally welcomed us to her restaurant. The French toast is incredible. And their almond milk latte was perfection. Homemade brioche. Need I say more?

  • Greg S.

    I thought I'd like this place but it was a big disappointment. The maple rolls looked delicious but were incredibly dry. The Moco Loco was plain nasty - the patty was an overcooked hockey puck, the gravy was had red wine in it (breakfast food?), and the dish was bland. The omelettes were sitting in a vat of grease, the breakfast potatoes were a combination of over and under done, and the Benedict also disappointed. On top of it all, the male servers had an underlying attitude (perhaps they were trying to act 'sassy'?); I heard one lecturing a patron on a mocha 'I'm not trying to difficult, I just don't understand what your asking for. Mocha is just chocolate - do you want coffee with it or not?' - really? A mocha has always been a latte with chocolate and no foam. Always. Overall just a disappointment - and this feeling was consistent with our entire party of 5.

    Second visit for breakfast and it is amazing how service can determine how much you enjoy or do not enjoy your meal. First time everything was great. Very friendly and excellent waitress. Second time, not so much. Food was very good, but waiter Elijah not so much. Ordered make your own omelet, with cheese, chorizo, and peppers. Came without cheese. Once food came never checked on us again and coffee cups remained dry through out breakfast, never a good thing. Well to his credit he took the coffee off the check, after I mentioned the lack of coffee, so that was nice. Oh well, the food still makes this place well worth the spotty service.

    Came here for breakfast with the kids because they wanted to try the Loco Moco. We got the eggs with Portuguese sausage, kids breakfast and the loco moco. Food was average, kids were disappointed by the loco moco, sausage was good.

  • Emma R.

    Food and service are amazing. Our server was incredibly polite and informative. He knew the menu like the back of his hand. Food itself was also amazing. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict special for the day - it included fresh Mahi Mahi and avocados from upcountry. Hollandaise sauce also had a slight lemon zest, it was spectacular. I got the espanol omelette with a side of Portuguese sausage, the potatoes and the toast in the side were perfect. We also were convinced to try the French toast, with all of the food we ordered we hesitated but out server promised we wouldn't be disappointed. He was so right! It was light, fluffy, yet perfectly crispy. Awesome find, glad I came here.

    This place was so quaint and charming. A nice selection of reasonably priced foods. They make they're own breads and pastries. We had a really nice breakfast here. They make great cappuccino as well. We sat outside on the patio, it was so nice.

  • Carolyn A.

    This place proves that quality ingredients is the key to excellent food. Local eggs from free range chickens (that are everywhere!) made the best scrambled eggs ever. Homemade jam, pastries, and bread. They've recently added dinner a few nights a week, which should be equally excellent.

  • Carrie S.

    This was a little off the beaten path from all the touristy stops in Kihei, and my husband and I were ready to try something different. We both started with coffee and I tried a pumpkin pastry that was buttery and flaky the way a pastry should be. My husband ordered the banana french toast, which he loved. I had the eggs benedict and it was disappointing. The english muffin had some kind of weird sourdough flavor and the ham was meh. I'm a big eggs benedict fan and this fell short. There were hits and misses here, with the price definitely bringing it down a star. $45 for breakfast for 2 people is a bit steep in my opinion.

  • Joel F.

    Spectacular brunch/breakfast food. We did a late brunch and there was plenty of seating available inside and outside. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Our server, Erin, was great and helpful with the menu and making sure we had everything we needed. She even caught a little hiccup on my son's French toast when it came out. They have beer and Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. All the pastries and breads are baked in house and are delicious! I really recommend the baguette Willy. It was wonderful. Great little place that is clearly a hit with the locals too which is always a good sign. Make sure to find the time to have a breakfast or a brunch here!

    This place is a total gem!! A little removed from the touristy places, it is still very close and accessible especially if you rent a bike. The place itself looks like a house, very airy and peaceful. We sat outside under a big tree and started sipping delicious, foamy lattes while listening to birds. I was craving French toasts and ordered the French toasts trio which was made with giant thick and fluffy brioche slices topped with bits of bananas, oranges, and caramelized pineapple(!!). with maple syrup and home made whipped cream on the side. Being French myself, I like to think I am pretty good at making French toasts, but the ones that I had at Chez Meme were honestly out of this world (AND as big as my head!). My boyfriend ordered an omelette with chicken and Pesto, that also came in a larger than expected size. The side home made diced potatoes tasted like....well, home made! Tasty, perfectly cooked and well flavored. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and made our breakfast the best part of our stay (being in the airline business, we unfortunately had only 24h to enjoy beautiful Maui). We were recommended this place by a co-worker and will keep talking about it to anyone who is planning to stay in Kihei. I am certainly going back on my next trip to try their baguette sandwiches! :-)

    This is a hidden gem but keep in mind it is a hidden gem meaning it's in the middle of nowhere and there aren't many people there. The good was good - but I wouldn't go back given that there is not really an atmosphere... as in we were the only people eating breakfast there. If you like a quite breakfast to yourself, then this is the spot.

    We love the fresh pastries here and recommend it for friends regularly. Recently due to the chicken pox and being quarantined we ordered take out and that wasn't nearly as good but this is a really nice place

    Went here for brunch today. We were a party of 2. The service was very slow. We got a chicken omelet and the French toast. They both tasted okay, nothing to be amazed about and was pretty pricey. Our meal came out to be almost $50. (Aside from the two dishes, we got a coffee and a tropical drink. ) This place seems overhyped to me.

  • Nicole H.

    I'm not sure why this place has such rave reviews. We came for breakfast. At first glance, the place is cute and clean. But the food is so mediocre. I ordered the latte and my husband had the cappuccino....both were horrible. The drinks were so watered down. We couldn't taste the espresso. Just so disappointing especially for a French cafe. The breakfast was also lacking in flavor because all I could taste was the oil they drenched my omelet in. Furthermore, the toasted baguette tasted like day old bread. Overall...cheap tasting food. Not worth the time, effort, and definitely not the money. On the bright side...service was good.

  • Amy H.

    What a find! Not to say that good food can't be found on Maui, but this caliber!? This place is AMAZING. From the moment we walked in we were surprised. The owner greeted us and was just delightful, without ever being overbearing. The baker came out to meet us - he's amazing by the way. The menu is creative and innovative, and every single thing we ate, from the outstanding baked goods, to the multiple twists on eggs Benedict, to the homemade jam and stellar coffee - was DE-LI-CIOUS. We are from the Bay Area/Wine Country, so we're very lucky and foodie trained by default. I would frequent Meme Baguette Bistro every weekend if they opened here. It's THAT GOOD. And the prices were very reasonable, especially when you consider the quality and location. Only open for breakfast and lunch, we were tempted to linger on (it was 11:00 am) throughout the evening to see if we could convince the chef to make us dinner too. Chefs here in the Bay Area could learn a lot from this place about ambiance, great food, casual dining and excellent pricing. My only lament is that we found the place on our last day. Now I know where to go on the first and every subsequent day of our next trip!

  • Linda S.

    As soon as we walked into the restaurant, I was excited to have found this hidden jewel. Not the usual main street, noisy kind of place in Kihei, that had been the norm for us for the last 10 days. Lovely environment, decor, comfy furnishings and no picnic tables. Alas, however, the food was a disappointment - especially for the price. I ordered a croque Madame, which I've had many times before, and prepared in my own kitchens, and what I got was an opened face grilled cheese with a deli slice of ham. Sure it was gruyere cheese and black forest ham, but this was not a Croque! I asked for a side of raw spinach and they didn't check to make sure they weren't including the decaying and wilted leaves also. Not pretty. Wish I could say we will try again, but likely not.

  • Tina L.

    The landscaping at this cafe is gorgeous. Loco Moco was pretty amazing. The Goat Cheese, Bell Pepper, and Onion omelette I had was delicious as well. The prices here are likely a 18%-20% markup from Kihei Cafe but you'll thank me for coming here. Tip: come after 1pm and get pastries 2 for the price of 1.

    A nice respite if you happen to be in Kihei's semi industrial area or having your car worked on at Good Year Kihei between 7am and lunch. A good coffee and a snack at a good price. I rate it 3 out of 5

    it is quaint, cute delivery of the check in a book. excellent work on the ambiance in an otherwise 99% industrial area, fantastic. the place is extremely clean. the garden is a delight. honestly having 2 eggs. potatoes, bacon, for one and a loco moco a coffee for one and a fancy coffee for another. and the bill before tip is $41.00 just does not cut it for too many folks I know. I am not saying the food was bad no. just not $41.00 It was kind of shocking YES I KNEW THE PRICE of each item. What I have tried to say is; the quality of the meal did not match the expectation of the cost associated with it.

  • Gustavo B.

    Little out of the way place in Hawaii. After three days of eating the same breakfast buffet at our hotel, everyone was looking to find something different. A quick look up on Yelp gave us this location. As we drove to the place, we noticed it is in a section of town that doesn't have much in the way of tourist attractions... in fact, it seems the place is located in a mostly industrial/car shop area. The place itself is very well kept, comfortable and well decorated. The service was excellent if only because it was the owners attending us and it showed that they were very appreciative of the business (we were a rather large group). The food was just great. We all ordered some version of their eggs benedict plates and they were perfectly prepared all the way around. We also had some french toast ordered for the middle of the three tables that we took up and they were the star of the show. Fluffy, not too dry and perfectly cooked with a little bit of a crunch on the outside. You know a sweet breakfast is good when you don't have to drown it in syrup.

    We didn't feel like waiting in line at Kihei Cafe and wishing for coffee refills that would never appear. We checked Yelp and found Chez Meme... So glad we did! Lovely servers, delicious coffee, quiet setting. The omelette was delicious -- not just the filling but the eggs themselves were seasoned perfectly. I didn't even add Tabasco like normal so I could savor the flavors! French toast a hit with kids and adults alike. My husband's eggs Benedict best on the island. Bearnaise sauce PERFECT! Prices are comparable to Kihei cafe and mostless expensive than hotel restaurants. $10-$14/plate. WILL BE BACK!

    Found this place on our weekend vacation to Maui. A quaint bistro type. We had to wait a little while for our table as the place is small and busy. But it was Sunday brunch so can't complain :) Mimosas were nice. The French toast is delish....thick and filling. They also have lots of omelettes and you can crate your own. Service was great here too. Definitely recommend this place if you're visiting or a local foodie ;)

  • Hidden C.

    On our last trip to Maui we went again to see if there was any improvement and there was. Our first table offered was not level so we were placed to table #22 where there were 2 spotlights directly in our line of sight and after several requests got them to be dimmed. We ordered 2 coffee's from the nice waitress and got 1. We were curiously asked when ordering Benedict's how we wanted our eggs cooked? Did not know that some people want poached eggs hard? Our salt shaker was caked and not functional due to the moisture, I suspect. The breakfast was very well prepared with a just adequate portion of potatoes.The homemade blue berry jam was spot on. Overheard that they do not serve dinner and its good to know that they understand that they should stay with their forte which is breakfast. Its always good to go to a place that the owner is actually the chef in the kitchen, takes more direct responsibility for the product.

    This was our best meal on Maui, and a prime example of why I love Yelp. We came here based on the reviews of others, and even though it was almost 50 minutes away from our hotel, we would have come back the next day if the tropical storm that hit hadn't messed up our travel plans. This is an unpretentious, French style bistro that specializes in breakfast and brunch. The bread is freshly made, the eggs are island local, and the service is wonderful. I had the Baguette Willy, which is fresh backed baguette, scrambled eggs, and a cheese and ham sauce over it. It was so luscious and indulgent I almost didn't eat the rest of the day, but it was worth skipping lunch, because lunch wouldn't have been this good. My dude got his usual of poached eggs, bacon, and toast (BRANCH OUT, DUDE!) but he got crazy and ordered a side of hollandaise so we could taste what the eggs benny would be like. It was fantastic, and I quickly confiscated it to pour on my potatoes. I can't recommend this place enough. There's outside dining, but the dining room itself features huge, open windows, and the day we were there, the breeze was so nice and calming. This would definitely be somewhere I came to sip coffee and read a book while nibbling on pastries if I lived closer. Don't pass it up.

  • Kecia S.

    Food was great! The bf has the chicken tuscany omlette and I had the loco moco, gravy on the side. Very tasty! My advice if you don't want your loco moco swimming in sauce get it on the side. They add onions and mushrooms in it too. Its very light, not thick like most places. Also had the lilikoi puff pastry which was tasty. Service sucked. When we arrived they had us sit at a table that looked like they hadn't whipped it down yet. Sure enough the table was sticky too the touch. The waiter took about 5 minutes to come and take our order and then he poured mg bf's soda out of the can into a cup. It's okay but he didn't do it for any of the other tables he was helping. It took over 30 minutes for the food to come. Before even offering us a pastry he gave us our bill. I then politely asked him for the pastry choices. After we ate the pastry it took another 10 minutes for our check to come and another 10 for him to come back and pick it up. Mind your during our lunch the owner and an employee where having a work meeting in which the employee was upset due to the owners not following through on what they said they were going to do. I'm not going to take anyone's side or pass judgment but hey at least take your meeting in a private area not ones that is just covered with curtains. Long story short the cook/baker quit on the spot, then the owner took another group of employees in the same curtained room to tell them that the cook/baker quit, etc. This is all going on while we were eating..... Final Review: Food great, service sucked.... Sorry but no tip.

    Fantastic little place! We found it based on user reviews and the fact that the Kihei cafe had a line out the door. I have to say it's better than the other. One because your not eating on plastic tables, and two the food is just better tasting. It's also nice to note, nobody is giving you the evil eye to leave so they can get a table. Both times we have been here our servers have been knowledgeable and very kind. Cleanliness is the motto here, and I feel 100% safe with where my meal is being prepared.

We started with the mango mimosas which are a most get and my wife had the eggs Benedict which looked like a piece of art and tasted even better. I had the special that day which was a homemade butter croissant which was so good it nearly brought tears to my eyes because I felt I was killing a unicorn. It came with eggs bacon an cheese and home fries. Portions are more than enough we skipped lunch that day. And they also show you all the fresh pastries of the day so you can add them to your meal. This is a must see place in Maui we are going for their lunch soon

    Best eggs bene ever, sauce was light & rich! Salted caramel latte was perfect too. Bought a jar of the ginger mango homemade jam ($9.95)

    Simple, good breakfast. Chill atmosphere and good service. They present the check in an old book which is clever.

    Ok so this place is a little quirky, odd location in an industrial area, although it is a pretty little house so...Anyway, who cares, the food is great quality, lots of it, delicious flavors, lots of choices and the price was just right. They were new when we first visited and we've been back on 2 other trips since. They just keep improving the place! Best breakfast we've had in Hawaii in a long time. Owner served us and was a very friendly guy. Gotta try all of the homemade jams, delicious!

    I went here with my wife for breakfast. I was initially skeptical since it is in an industrial type neighborhood. The building itself has a nice country home feel. The service was excellent. The place was clean. Ordered the 3 egg omelette and added salmon, mushrooms, and tomatoes. My drink was an iced tea. My wife ordered the eggs benedict. The food was excellent. The potatoes and bread with 3 berry jam was also scrumptious. They gave me a To-go cup for the iced tea for the road. For Maui, the price was reasonable. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice breakfast meal at a decent price.

    One of the best breakfasts on the island. Great deal for what you get, and an even better deal when you compare it to most of the hotels or places that are near the beach. It's a little bit off the main drag and in kind of a weird area for a restaurant, but it's definitely worth it.

    Awesome breakfast. Got there early, greeted warmly! Food was great, ambiance lovely. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Maui. We already mentioned this place to a bunch of friends who live here. Trio French toast, The Willy and Eggs Benedict....homemade mango/ginger chutney.....all delicious!

  • Kayan H.

    French toast with pineapple - this was okay, but I'm not a huge french toast fan. Tuscany chicken omelette - my husband and I fought over the last bite of this. it was sooooo good. On the menu, I was skeptical of the description but my husband insisted and what a great choice. Juice not fresh - surprised that they didn't have fresh juices here. Milk- on menu but only had whole, disappointing. Portuguese sausage - $4 for 4 small bites, not worth it.

    We had breakfast here and it was good. My husband's omelette was fabulous. I had the poached eggs, which were so so. It would have been nice if they toasted the bread. The bakery items were very good.

  • Gina C.

    Chicken Tuscany: organic eggs, feta, veggies, chicken breast with pesto was tasty and the flavors blend well. Loco Moco: was good, gravy was thin and the wine after taste was a bit over powering, but the egg did well to mellow the tang. Service: smiles and friendly. They did well to check in on your experience and knowledgable about the menu.

  • Andrea A.

    Sooooo good. Such friendly staff and great food. We got the French Toast Trio, Eggs Benedict with Ham, and a totally off the menu plate since my cousin is Vegan. They were totally accommodating, nice, and made us feel like we were the most important people here. Mango mimosas were great too!

    My girlfriend and I are visiting Maui for vacation. Today is our first morning at Maui. We visited this charming and cozy restaurant and were extremely pleased with our breakfast. She ordered the French toast and it was superb. I had the omelette and they were very open to my request of having only one yolk. The vegetables were extremely fresh. The homemade jam and French baguette were delicious. We loved our experience and breakfast. Our server, Erin, was very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

  • Tawna R.

    In my book, the food was very mediocre, and the location was super funky. It seemed like an unfinished place to me, with lots of awkward empty space and inattentive staff. The lattes were decent, the breakfast was lackluster, relatively salty yet still flavorless. Not true french cuisine. I got the smoked salmon benedict (or some sort of benedict, I forget, thats how unexciting it was), and my husband got the eggs bacon and toast breakfast. Both were ok, nothing special. Not inclined to go back at all.

  • Jenni B.

    This place is really nice and pretty quiet. Excellent outdoor seating area, very clean. Nice baked goods and delicious breakfast. I had the ham and gruyere omelette and it was cooked to perfection, though lacking in spice and flavor. This is my only really complaint. When we showed up, there were a few large parties so we had to wait a little longer. Our waiter brought us fresh mango macaroons to help make up for the slower services due to the high volume of people there before us. Everything was fresh and delicious and the home made jam was some of the best I've ever tasted. They also have a dinner menu which I would love to go back and try sometime.

    It's rare that we'll go to the same spot twice on a trip, but with this bistro I don't feel like I missed out on anything by not choosing a new location. It's a bit tucked away in a rather industrial part of the island (there's a Goodyear tires across the street), but I think the food makes up for the lack of setting. The first visit we split two breakfast items: the French toast with bananas, and the Forestiere omelet with fruit instead of potatoes and maple bacon as a side. Maybe I was just happy that my wife agreed to share two entrees (an even rarer occurrence), but I felt like both dishes were very good. The French toast was light & fluffy, and only needed a drop or two or syrup for flavor. But the real surprise was the homemade mango ginger jam for the baguette. I think I would have been happy with a basket of bread & this exquisite topping. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. A great soundtrack played in the background with everything from French covers of 50's pop songs like bobby Darin's sailing to bossa nova. We opted to return to the bistro when the line (and seating) at Caffe Kihei appeared too daunting. This time I opted for the lamb sandwich while my wife got the French toast. However, our waitress this time was either still training or her Halloween costume (I she was supposed to be a German barmaid) was hampering her punctuality. Funny, cuz those Germans are usually so punctual. In any case, my wife ordered a chai latte, then after a long wait was told that they didn't have that option despite being served one on the previous visit. No problem, we're on Maui-time, no one is worried about the trains running, and the final result was a rather good latte.

    Very nice find in Kihei! Tried the Mahi Mahi Eggs Benedict - wasn't on the menu but our server, Kendell, was awesome to recommend. Nice portions, perfectly crispy hash browns and toasted bread with homemade jelly. Amaze-balls! These guys are doing a great job...check them out!

    French toast was pretty darn good. Setting was off the beaten path, but place itself had a nice clean charm to it. Also had an omelet and while solid with no complaints, it was not out of this world. We would go again.

  • Kirsty S.

    Got the french toast that everyone raves about and it was so soggy I had to send it back. Not soggy from the syrup, but I mean undercooked. Way overpriced and super small portions. Barely anyone in the restaurant and food took over 30 min to come out. One star because the Bloody Mary was good.

  • Ed F.

    Great find for breakfast this morning. Food and service was great. Recommend you find this out of the way place.

  • D O.

    We stopped in for brunch, got omelets and Bloody Marys. I had the omelet with gruyere and onions, and it was delicious. Their papaya cinnamon jam was a great finish for the meal. I liked the food a lot, but was also pleased with the portion size. It was enough to get me full and no more. Perfect! Bloody Marys were mild but still very tasty and refreshing.

    (5)

  • Danielle S.

    Loved this place! We had fantastic omelettes and a guava cream pastry that I loved. The bacon was thick and crispy unlike the wimpy hotel bacon we had earlier. The homemade jam was out of this world. We also got great service and quality refills. :) Go early or risk the long wait! Still worth it!

  • Celeste F.

    Best breakfast we found on the Wailea/Kihei side of the island. Opens at 7 am which is great for us early golfers or if you're catching an early flight. They make their own bread and jam as well as pastries and Kaleb uses the freshest ingredients. It's located in an industrial area but you can sit indoors or outdoors and it's in a converted home. The service was always friendly and efficient. I love the French theme too! Forget standing in line at the much touted local hangout on the main drag in Kihei only to dine with chickens and roosters. Give this much more refined restaurant a try.

  • margot b.

    My husband and I, on our way to the airport, intended on trying the Kihei Cafe for breakfast due to their inordinate amount of positive reviews but after seeing the atrocious line out the door we agreed that there's just no place worth waiting that long to patronize - so we kept on driving and exploring yelp for an alternative. I'm glad we did since it brought us to Chez Meme. No lines, no fuss, easy parking and nicely landscaped, relaxed location just up a side street. THe service we received by the two servers that we engaged with was excellent. And the espresso drinks and breakfasts we ordered were perfect in terms of quality, presentation, and portion size. Think quality over quantity. Highly recommend the French toast! We carried on to the airport and it was there I realized I left my debit Visa card at the restaurant. D'oh! I called and asked them to mail it to me. They had it in the mail that same day and I had it in my hands a few days later. I can't thank them enough for their quick action on this. 5 stars all around. If I were a Kihei local Chez Meme is where I would frequent. Check the out!

  • Raymond R.

    Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed. I had the Eggs Benedict with smoked ham and it was superb. Best I've had really. They were kind enough to come by with a tray of baked good while we waited for the food. The Lilikoi cream puff was also great! The Bloody Mary was okay; a bit too spicy and no olives or garnish but I can't really complain about that. Excellent quality, nice portion size, and quality service makes this an easy 5 stars for me.

  • Sarah H.

    We loved this place. Firstly, it looks like an old house, which is a little scary for someone who shows up at 7am to eat breakfast (we originally believed it wasn't open, or we were in the wrong place). When we realized that it was, indeed, the correct restaurant, we sat outside and the waiter came over to us to tell us about the place and their specials or favorites. I ordered the eggs Benedict, my husband ordered French toast and coffee. My eggs Benedict was delicious (and it's one of my favorite dishes!), and my husband loved his French toast as well. The waiter tried a few times to get us to buy some pastries, but both of us wanted a breakfast and not snacks so we politely declined. We did, however, get a vanilla latte, which was well-made (I love a coffee shop that can make foam well!) and my husband's drip coffee was superb. We had to fly out of Maui later that day but we would have returned had we been there longer (and if they were open a little earlier).

    This place is amazing. Sit and relax in a Hawaiian French atmosphere with large open windows to enjoy the Maui breeze. I saw a picture if the French toast and had to try it out, and it did not disappoint. The picture doesn't do this dish justice. Just get the trio.. comes with fresh fruit and raisins on top. Best breakfast in Kihei.

  • Kai Z.

    Excellent breakfast, quickly prepared, but tasted great. I really liked the chorizo they had in their omelets and the passion fruit guava juice. They have a small selection of pastries to take home with you, but make sure to ask what's available because they run out or don't make certain bake goods depending on the day. Service was quick and curt, maybe a little too curt. The potatoes were less cooked than I prefer, but it wasn't a deal breaker. This place is very small and not easily found. It's definitely off the beaten path. It's close to a car rental facility called Kihei Rent a Car and near the popular south Kihei road area. The prices are moderate to expensive. I spent about $20 on just one meal. It was well worth the price and traveling. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Great portions too.

    Fresh, delicious and unique breakfast. Possibly the best breakfast we've had on Maui or anywhere. Sweet brioche used for the French bread is pillowy soft cinnamon bliss. Chèvre omelette was perfectly cooked with a creamy center and a delicious pesto garnish. We are definitely going back a couple more times for breakfast and we have to try the lunch menu because it looks delicious also.

  • Allyson K.

    This was quite possibly the most delicious breakfast I've ever had. And they now serve mimosas!! It's definitely off the beaten path but well worth it. We got the Baguette Willy and the French Toast Trio - both were mind blowing! The service was fantastic too and the restuarant was not very crowded so it was easy to just relax and chat. If I ever make it back to Kehei, I will definitely be making a trip here. Thanks!

  • Pat C.

    Food was as expected for a Mom and Pop restaurant. An experience way better than a Denny's. Loco Moco wasn't exceptional, but it was tasty. Same with two egg breakfast. Atmosphere was great and staff very friendly. Would defiantly be worth coming back again, though I would be open to exploring other places too. I couldn't give it a 5 star because it missed the "wow" effect. High quality was there though. Come eat with confidence!

  • Brian O.

    The yelp reviews are spot on. This place is awesome. Obviously a little off the beaten path but well worth it. Amazing breakfast. Quality you can taste and enjoy. Taking a baguette and jam to go. We liked it so much we are coming back for dinner.

  • Carla H.

    I am an Eggs Benedict aficionado, and I try them everywhere--Chez Meme's were exceptional. The Hollandaise was perfection, and the tomato & spinach super-fresh. The mango mimosa was delicious--and generous. The waitstaff are warm and friendly. I've eaten there twice in 2 days, and will be back soon--my new go-to place in Kihei.

    (5)

  • Jeanine M.

    Good breakfast value. I had the goat cheese, tomato omelet topped with homemade pesto! Yum, organic eggs too. Next time I want to try one of the home made pastries which looked amazing. James served us and made us feel welcome. They are launching a new dinner service and snagged a chef who worked at French laundry! Can't wait to try that too.

  • Matthew M.

    Good food, reasonable prices and a friendly wait staff. Breakfast croissant that I had was tasty and we all tried the gauva filled pastry which was excellent. Its off the beaten path a little and no ocean view, but has a nice vibe both inside and on the lanai.

    Wonderful breakfast in a cute tucked away spot. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the pretty garden. The service was super friendly!! The Loco Moco was the best I've ever had in Maui. Gravy is more of a light sauce. Looking forward to coming again!!

    Tried breakfast here... Great food, great service. Hubby had a gourmet loco moco which I think they only serve on Sundays right now. It had wild rice with mushrooms which was super yummy. I had the Willy's plate and I was surprised at the huge pieces of ham .. Next time I'm trying the famous French toast

  • Lane A.

    Exceptional! This place is a MUST. Off the beaten path, which makes it that much more charming. Owners are delightful and pleasant. The food, my god the food, is perfect (eggs Benedict is spot on) and reasonably priced. Their baker knows what he is doing. Do yourself a favor and eat breakfast here.

    Having eaten here many times I can say the food never disappoints unless it sells out before you arrive. Highly recommended is the prime rib dinner, the delicious breakfast omelettes, and the lamb sandwich. The chef is classically trained, the baker talented and the owner, maitre'd, and wait staff friendly and efficient!

    Great food. We had the Chicken Tuscany Omelet and the Beef Bourguignon sandwich. Both delicious. The lilikoi pastry was tasty too.

    Great service and even better food!! I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon and tomatoes and my husband ordered the special which was a bacon scramble.

  • Bob B.

    4 stars is a stretch - 3.5 is more like it. Chez Meme, oddly, is located in what appears to be a house in a light industrial neighborhood. The waitress confirmed that it once was someone's home, but then was a lawn mower repair shop before becoming Chez Meme. The decor is open and very plain - a bare tile floor with a few tables inside and a couple of pictures on the walls. The large windows have screens but no glass, so this is sort of open-air. There are also a few tables outside, but not a real patio area. The food was good, but not exceptional. There is a french flair to the menu, but it still has the usual suspects for breakfast. They have french pastries that looked good, but we did not try any. The waitstaff was friendly, but not particularly attentive. As examples, they didn't bring around a carafe to pour more coffee. When asked for an item, like more coffee or more syrup, it took quite a while for it to come. Normally, when a customer, already eating, asks for something, that means please bring it now, not after I'm done with my meal. Prices were not high, but not cheap either. Breakfast for 2: $45. The overall impression is they are amateur restauranteurs, still learning how to run a good restaurant. This is not a bad restaurant; it is friendly and decent food. But it is not a must visit place either.

  • Mike D.

    We really wanted to like this place and there are some nice aspects to the restaurant. The indoor/outdoor space is comfortable and pleasant, service was quite amenable, and the owner (manager?) seems interested in his customers. However, our lunch just didn't meet our expectations. My fish sandwich had too much sauce on it, the bread on the other sandwiches was too hard, and the prices were a bit too high. Perhaps breakfast is their strong suit.

  • Megan H.

    Best French Toast on the island! Found this through Yelp and so happy we did! We've been having lots of expensive buffet breakfasts at the resorts (the one at the Grand Wailea is the best of the bunch), but we opted for a more low-key one off the beaten path and were delighted. It really is off the beaten path- had to stop and ask a few different people. Kind of in the middle of nowhere in Kihei. Lots of locals, so you know it's good. The most delicious French Toast I've ever had in my life!! Yummy POG juice. Amazing mocha latte. Husband loved his eggs more than any of the buffets we've been to. The pastries looked amazing, but we were too stuffed to try them. Only negative is that there isn't much of a view. But if it was oceanfront, I'm sure the wait would be crazy long and the prices doubled. Our waitress, Kendell, was super friendly and attentive. Next time we are here, we will visit Chez Meme for sure!! Mahalo!

  • Jane E.

    Probably the best breakfast I have had. I enjoyed the special which consisted of a slice of ham topped with Gruyere cheese and then topped with a poached egg on a homemade piece of thick cut sour dough bread. The potatoes were hand cut and not from a bag. Finished off with a homemade croissant and homemade jam. Oh and did I mention that a generously sized mimosa is a mere $6.95. A little off the beaten path but well worth it!!

    This place is definitely a hidden gem, which makes it all the more special. Their French toast is so delicious and their omelets are yum. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart.

    Delicious breakfast food, great open air seating, and cheerful wait staff add up to a great place to have breakfast in Kihei. A fairly traditional breakfast lineup is done very well. Bacon doesn't usually vary much, but theirs was incredible, and their eggs benedict was the best my wife had tasted.

  • Dana Z.

    We found this place on Yelp and scurried over there. I love that we can find off the beaten course places due to social media. Thank you Yelp! First off, I want to say that the owner is the nicest guy you could ever meet. He was super attentive and obviously passionate about his place. The decorations and location were delightful with plenty of parking and nicely landscaped gardens. Very relaxing and beautiful out of the hustle and bustle of tour town. The food was okay. We got the mahi mahi Benedict that we had read about on here and the owner was nice enough to put in the order even though it was a special only offered on Sundays. The order arrived quickly and was beautifully plated. But... the hollandaise sauce was off. It was bitter. Must of gotten some bad lemons that they used that day. We had a hard time putting our finger on it but finally figured that out. Everything else was perfect, great service and place. Reasonably priced too.

  • Monnikka M.

    Honestly I have no idea why this place has even more than two stars. Very slow service. Not so friendly waitresses. No sunshine in the room. It feels like we were sitting in a cold shabby locker room. It took more than half an hour for the food to come out. Then there's only one bathroom you have to wait in line for a long time. Good was just ok. Nothing so special. Never coming back again.

    Great place for breakfast. Chuck was a fantastic server, really good personality to start the day. We had the French toast trio and that banquette breakfast sandwich. Chuck kept recommending things that was just hard to decline. Glad he did though, awesome brunch and end of our trip to Maui. If you go here, try to get him as your server.

    (5)

  • Julien B.

    Nice ingredients, friendly service, and good jam! We had the egg sandwich for brunch, which I felt was a big difficult to eat. The baguette was cut and toasted so hard that it was more of an egg scramble with hard toast on the side, and less of a sandwich. Nice space and location, and our server was very friendly and prompt!

    (4)

  • Beth K.

    Off the beaten path and fabulous. First thing they offer croissant and chocolate croissant. Of course we had to share one! Husband had the Willy Baguette and I a spinach, mushroom, & Gruyere omelet. Both excellent. POG was great, not to syrupy sweet like most. The best, in house made mango ginger jam. Oh my. We will stop by before going home and try their lunch menu.

    Thanks yelp! I would've never found this place without you... And Siri! What a diamond in the rough. It's located around industrial type buildings. I thought I was lost for a moment. The food is incredible and thoughtful and so was the service. Bread baked daily and they've got some really reasonable and delicious items for the kids :)

  • Mike K.

    Simply stated we dissent from the notion of "hidden gem." We wanted very much for this to become our go to breakfast spot, but found it to be more zircon than gem. The service was friendly but desultory. At one point the waitress, acknowledging the delays, offered the non-apology that things were "crazy" this Sat morning at 10:00 am. The tables were less than half occupied. I'd hate to see it crawl at capacity. The real demerits come with the food itself. Priced the same as a resort hotel, we expected more than we got. The highly touted French toast was gummy, and relied on its toppings to gain approval. The pastry was served cold and even when warmed was mediocre. The omelette had quality ingredients and was made creamy in the French manner, but was skimpy as was the accompanying pile of sautéed potatoes. The single slice of toasted French batard was a nice texture and the homemade berry jam was quite pleasant. On the whole this $15 pp French breakfast was less satisfying than a trip to a Mimi's.

    The food was excellent, however the first thing you notice as you walk in is how clean it is. The staff came up to welcome us as soon as we walked in. They were very attentive and pleasant. It is a little bit off a major street however the drive is worth it.

    I stopped in at 12:45 for lunch. It wasn't crowded. I think most people go there for breakfast. The owner, who waited my table, is very cordial. I love that this is a family-owned business.

    First time here. Boyfriend and I had baguette sandwiches for lunch. He had the Nordique, which is smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill and cucumber. With it he had the house made fries. Omg these things are good. I might come back just for fries one day. As for my meal, i had the Jarret with a salad. This sandwich is made with lamb shanks, garlic jam and a grainy dijon. The sandwich was sooo tasty. The way the salad was described to me was "good...made with mixed greens." But unfortunately it was terrible. Hence my low score despite enjoying the food/atmosphere here. The lettuce was more yellow than green, it was eithe iceburg or romain, i couldnt tell because it was chopped so small, came with a couple of diced tomatoes and a drizzle of dressing (the dressing was great). The greens were just not exceptable.

  • Lori C.

    Quaint, clean and friendly. This is not a "coffee shop" with greasy food. It's a cute cafe with a thoughtful menu of fresh ingredients. We had the french toast trio and a "build your own" omelet. The stars of this establishment are the baked goods. If you are looking for a non-tourist spot with home made food, don't miss this place.

    Great and friendly staff. Quick service and awesome breakfast! We had the French toast trio, which was amazingly authentic and the baguette Willy. It's such a cute and quaint place.

    Great coffee, good food, great service! This is a hidden gem in Maui. It was not crowded when we went, and our waitress was excellent. We both got omelets, and they were very good. The potatoes and bread with jam were also great. We ordered coffee and a latte...both were great! We didn't have Bloody Mary's but they seemed very moderately priced. Only not so great thing about our experience was sitting outside. There were a TON of flies that swarmed our table when the food came out, but we should've known that would happen if we sat outside. Recommend sitting inside if you are going to eat here. Overall, awesome place to go!

    The breakfast here is excellent. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful too. I can't wait to bring my parents here when they come visit us in October. I ordered the eggs benedict and my sweets got the French toast trio. Everything was cooked to perfection. Plus it was the perfect amount of food. We both cleaned our plates. I like that they have lattes and cappuccinos too. They have a couple tables outside where we sat and it was nicely shaded. I really want to try their lunch sometime. Looking forward to our return.

    This place was recommended to me so me and my husband went there today. Well not sure where all these raving reviews come from but the food is really not the greatest. I ordered a french toast with pineapple and he had the chicken omelette. Toast was bland and simply lacked everything, minimal fruit too. Omelette below average.

    Just happened to drive by this place and went in for a lunch date with the hubby. It was so cute. I love the garden around it and quaint atmosphere and it wasn't busy when we were there. The service was a bit slow but they were friendly and the food and drinks were great. Really love the setting! It has been added to my favorite Kihei restaurant list!

    Excellent choice. Nestled off the main street of Kihea in a lovely setting. From the moment we walked in the door, we were met with exceptional service, outstanding home-made food & could not have asked for more. What a gem.

    I admit it: I'm a restaurant snob and an even bigger brunch snob. I found Maui lacking on the foodie front, but when Yelp's Nearby feature suggested I try out Chez Meme because it has a near perfect rating, my interest was piqued. One look at the review highlights, and I was sold: off the beaten path, a raved-over french toast, and an omelette with brie. Yes, please. Amy and I enjoyed our only truly good cup of morning coffee here--a nutty, sweet essence that didn't need sugar or even cream. We split the vegetarian benedict (Spinach and Tomato, I believe) and the chevre omelette (fresh tomato and goat cheese). The food was absolutely fantastic. The omelette was cooked just the way I like--done, but still just a little bit runny thanks to the fresh tomatoes. So flavorful. But the benedict was where this place really shined. The bread was fresh fresh fresh, the vegetables had the perfect consistency, the egg was masterfully poached, and the hollandaise sauce... Amy and I couldn't figure out exactly what made this as good as it was (a hint of lemon? the fact that the serving was generous but didn't drown the food? that it felt and tasted .... brighter than any other hollandaise sauce I've ever had?), but truly it was excellent. The only downside to the meal was that the omelette was also supposed to have pesto along with the goat cheese and tomato... but the other ingredients were so good alone that it didn't really need it. Spoke for a while with the gentlemen running the show, and complimented him on creating a lovely spot with great food at non-rip off, non-tourist prices. He said he really enjoyed what he was doing, that he has an excellent chef, and that the right customers seem to find him, mostly thank to Yelp. Pretty awesome experience all around. Good job. Definitely make the trip here if you're staying in Kihei or south.

    I would totally give this a 5-star after my first visit but then I went again and my experience was totally different so I have to drop a star, and I'm tempted to drop it by two stars. First visit was AWESOME! We had Brie as our waitress and she is beyond awesome. She is friendly, not pushy, helpful and really made our first meal here completely memorable. The food was fantastic! She said Chef Mike was cooking and everything was delicious. The French Toast was out of this world. Second visit was completely the opposite. We had a different server. He wasn't that friendly. And at the end, he came by our table with a piece of pie and asked if we wanted it. We all thought he was offering it as a free piece. But to our surprise, it was on our bill as $7!!!! I found this to be rather sneaky. If he wanted to sell the desserts, it should have been presented as "would you care for a dessert, we have an awesome pie", not as "here is a slice of pie, do you want it?" Overall, it's a cute place. I would totally go back, but only when Brie is working. BTW... The homemade jam is delicious! I wish they made it available for purchase.

    Great little place for breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delightful. The jam of the day was a mango ginger jam prepared by their owners mother. My wife got the french toast. She loved it. Great ambiance, warm and friendly service, reasonable prices, and delicious food are a winning combination.

    Lovely lunch at this gem of a restaurant just off So. Kihei Rd. Pat and I shared the most deeelicious veggie pannini sandwich and a pear salad with candied walnuts; a great glass of wine and lovely view of the garden. Service was excellent, ambiance fantastic and, ofcourse; one of my BFFs for a great girls day!

  • Teresa A.

    Hard to find, but worth it! We had a delicious breakfast at a good price. I had the eggs Benedict Florentine and my friend the omelette with chorizo. The eggs were cooked exactly as ordered and the toast and potatoes were perfectly done. The homemade jam was delicious. Regular coffee was good! Simply decorated on the inside (which was refreshing, actually) and a beautiful garden out front. We will be returning again for breakfast and to try out their lunch plates.

    Awesome place to have breakfast in Kihei! I tried the eggs Benedict, French Toast with pineapple and the gruyere cheese omelette and the Eggs were the best! Quiet place, perfect for brunch as well. Loved the ambience and decoration.

    I chose this place for breakfast because of all the great reviews I saw and I have nothing but good things to add! We came here on our last day of our vacation and loved it! Some of us are picky, some not so much. The food was wonderful and there was something for everyone! The place is adorable and very clean, which is so important. Presentation was impressive and the staff was not only helpful, but friendly and sincere! I recommend this little gem to anyone who appreciates great food off the beaten path!

  • scarlet C.

    This place sucks! Over priced. No flavor..the food sucks. Unless you like French toast. But other places in the are have better food. Ryan has no management skills. Cheap products. The only good thing they have is the dinning room but ths also tacky. Bugs everywhere even in my food. There's no stoping the flies there. If you wanna wait 2 hours for brunch drink shity two sip mimosa with disgusting food this is the place. Bon appetite.

    This was our last stop in Kihei before leaving Maui. We got together to have breakfast with some friends. It is located in a more industrial part of Kihei, but the restaurant itself is very quaint and pretty. Everyone got some good breakfast. They seemed to really enjoy their food, hence the 3 stars. I, on the other hand, tried out the Loco Moco for the very first time at any Hawaiian restaurant. The presentation was cool. The wild rice was a little unique and the sunny side up egg was delicious. The beef seemed a little under done, a little mushy and slightly pink. That was a little off putting, so I stopped eating it. My GI tract wasn't too happy with me later that afternoon, which was not good when I was about to get on an airplane. Maybe I just ordered it on the wrong day. Overall, get a regular, old school breakfast and your GI tract will thank you later.

  • Nirali D.

    Yum!!!! Had the espagnol omelet and it had so much great flavor! Husband had the eggs Benedict and it was also divine (stole a bite!). The chef made fresh cinnamon rolls that day, which I ordered. Based on appearance I didn't think it was going to be much, but it was a party in my mouth and a fantastic finish! The coffee was also really good, as well as the service. Off the beaten path, but if you want to go where the locals go...go here! Not the place to go if you want ambience, but who cares when you have great food!

    I had the goat cheese omelette and everyone else had the french toast. I recommend this place. quality breakfast and good portions. Service was good too but we were the only people in there at the time.

  • Barbara B.

    This is another THANK YOU to Yelp. We would never have found this treasure without you. We went for breakfast and tried items mentioned over & over in the reviews--splitting the French toast trio, the Eggs Benedict and a side of ham with freshly brewed coffee. Everything was perfect. The restaurant is beautiful and located away from most retail. It is worth finding.

    This nice little place is in an odd industrial area, but trust your gps; it got us there. We arrived during prime Sunday brunch time, but didn't have to wait at all for a table in the beautiful, open air dining room. Service was fast and friendly. Very good coffee. I had the eggs Benedict with smoked ham, which was very tasty with good hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs. My husband had the French toast trio and really enjoyed it. Their toast is made of French bread from a local bakery in Lahaina and was the best part of the meal with lots of butter and homemade strawberry jam. We'll be back to take the rest of our family.

  • Journey D.

    No doubt this place is off the main road and in a strange little corner. But OH MY GOODNESS! Amazing little cafe. Best place I have eaten so far in Maui. Will definitely be dining here again before I leave. I will recommend the French toast for breakfast and ask about their home made jam. It's unbelievable! Very fresh, very new, and very clean.

  • Megan M.

    We split the Eggs Benedict (with Mahi Mahi & Spinach) and it was a home run! Absolutely delicious: Mahi cooked perfectly, eggs poached exactly how we like 'em (soft) and even the homemade jam for the side of bread was dynamite. Super friendly waitstaff.

  • Chuck D.

    What a great find! Cute little place tucked away, but worth taking the time to find it. Having freshly prepared French inspired food on Maui is a welcome change. All the bread is super fresh making for a perfect base/side for any if their egg dishes. I had an omelet with pesto, fresh tomatoes, and goat cheese - it was perfect! Light, fresh, and tasty. Also tried the French toast (a must have!!), an omelet with short ribs and onion (yummy!), and a sliced open face baguette with a ham scramble and cheese sauce (Delish!). As icing on the cake, the owner was very friendly and helped us pick our drinks/breakfast. The open feeling to the restaurant made for a perfect experience. Would love to come back!!!! Make this a stop early in your trip so you can go twice!!

  • Jay P.

    Had their french toast with some eggs and bacon. The bacon and eggs were pretty good; I had the bacon crispy and they did it just right. The french toast was good but needs some improvement. The order comes with fruit of your choice, and I selected pineapple. I didn't realize it but they add pineapple AND a syrup on top of the french toast, which makes it waaay too sweet. It was so sweet and soggy with the syrup that I did not even touch my maple syrup, which I would have much preferred. The bread for the french toast is a delicious, delicious brioche that they buy from a bakery in Lahaina so that makes it LEGIT! So, order the french toast but have the syrup on the side. Also, the service was friendly, but a little bit slow considering that we were one of two parties in the entire place.

    Chez Meme Baguette was going to receive rave reviews until we received our bill. After we ordered, the waiter came to our table with a plate that contained a few pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and some pieces of chocolate chip pound cake. He asked if we would like to try something after indicating that the chef was also a fabulous pastry chef. My husband opted for a piece of the pound cake. When we received our bill, there was a $3.00 charge for it. I thought that was extremely tacky, as he approached us with the desserts. That negative experience aside, my husband did say that the burger he had was the best burger he had ever eaten. My French toast was nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was nice, as it is off the beaten path and they have large windows which were open with screens to prevent bugs. No a/c however, so even with the open windows, it still felt extremely muggy.

    Wow.....I'm a little upset that its taken me this long to find this place. We ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato....wowza! Super onolicious....I thought nothing could be better than this.....then I had a taste of my daughters French toast trio......wowza wowza wowza..... This is my new favorite breakfast place...oh and the mimosas!!!!!!!! Eat there...trust me it was amazing!

    To get to this restaurant you go down an industrial road passing several storage and junk yard. Walk through doors and you are transformed into another world. The dining area is an open room with larges windows looking out to beautiful tropical plants. The menu has breakfast and French sandwitches. I had the ham and vegitable soup with a beef Boguingon sandwitch. Service was attentive and the owner makes a strong effort to greet customers at the door. With Fabiani's and Eskimo candy around the corner, this is another great use of this area in Kihei.

  • Corey U.

    I wish there were more places in the world like this. My girlfriend and I sat and enjoyed a great meal while the slight breeze blew through the open windows. This place is all about the details from the way they prepare the food to the nice little dish they bring the bill in. So where do I start? The service was great. She was pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. The food didnt take long at all and my coffee was warmed up with my meal. As for our food? The eggs were fluffy and the chorizo in my omelette was excellent. My girlfriend enjoyed pears, candied walnuts, brie and garlic aioli on a fresh baguette. Can you say delicious? I can, because I took a couple bites of her sandwich. I know it's small but the music they played was very fitting for the atmosphere. They must have had it on Jem Pandora and that definitely added to the atmosphere. 5 stars for this hidden gem.

    Way too much hype. The Vancouver location is way better. It's very nice inside and kind of on a less busy street with an open air feel. The waitress unfortunately mixed up our omelette order. Additional ingredients in your omelette cost more than they should have. And for an average breakfast it's not worth the cost.

  • Kalyn F.

    Arrived around 1:15 on a Sunday, with only a few other patrons in this quaint little restaurant. I had the chevre omelet and hubby had the Eggs Benedict, since they were sold out of the French toast. Mine was yummy, hubby said that he'd had better (granted he is quite the EB connoisseur). The owner was our waiter and he stopped to chat with everyone. Said they are hoping for a liquor license by the end of the year and will open a tiki lounge on the patio then. Great ambience, good food, friendly staff. Serve brunch until 2 pm.

  • Brian R.

    Tried the beef short rib omelette, French toast trio and montangarde omelette. Short rib was definitely a little different than what I normally would think of for an omelette but was delicious with juicy mushrooms and nice red wine flavour that was bold but not overbearing. Montangarde had a perfect balance of gruyere to the potatoes and bacon. The real winner is definitely the French toast trio. Delicious caramelized but not overly sweet apples, best bananas I've ever had on French toast and sweet soft raisins with some chunks of pineapple as well. The brioche French toast is thick and a good balance of crunch and soft so as to soak up the syrup but not fall apart. Service also friendly and efficient. Only thing I want a fan of was the espresso but may have just been an off day.

    Take note, I rarely give a small business a bad review. I live in San Francisco, a food Mecca and I know the impact Yelp has on small businesses. That being said, I can forgive and forget disgusting food if the service makes up for it. Give me both bad food and even worse service, you're doing something wrong. Getting carded for a bloody Mary at 40 years old for most people would be flattering unless the server just cards you thinking you probably don't have ID with you. The server obviously hates his job? No, because he went out of his way to treat the other single table with respect and enthusiasm. He obviously had some problem with me. Give me bread that even the seagulls would refuse. Ham, which I get, it's fatty. But veins, chucks of gristle and fat? No thanks. The whole time watching the same server treat other patrons with respect. Dude should stop being judgemental and find another job. Oh, and thanks for making us wait 20 minutes before even acknowledging our presence. I know it can be daunting to wait on more than one table at 8am on a Monday morning.... again find a job you enjoy, or at least try and fake it. McDonalds would have been a better choice than this flop.

    Now peoples you must try da place!!! Charming spot, great food, locally owned & sourced and warm, welcoming staff. We stopped by for lunch but ended up ordering a breakfast dishes as well as lunch. The sandwiches are served on a homemade baguette, the hollandaise is made fresh (as it should be!) and the homemade jam is fabulous. The owner/chef stepped out from the kitchen to see how we enjoyed our meal. The double espresso I ordered after my meal was more like a triple shot. While the restaurant description says they don't served alcohol, there is beer, wine and champagne available. I hear that they serve a guava mimosa! Enjoy!

    The food was insanely good. Our server Talisa was nothing short of amazing (and funny). True that it is in a weird location, it never ever disappoints. If you are in the mood for some chorizo and eggs or some of the best eggs benedict with blackened Mahi you'll ever have, you need to check this place out! Mahalo ya'll! (had us laughing Talisa lol)

    I really want to like this place but for the food was not up to par. service was great but oh-- the food. got eggs benedict, french toast, loco moco, two eggs/portuguese sausage. wife who loves eggs benedict was not impressed. loco moco was on a bed of under-cooked white rice. sorta ruined that experience. ever had undercooked white rice? it's like eating little rocks except a little chewier. the A-ok was for the A+ service received by the waitstaff who was eager to offer visitor advice and for the ok french toast.

    Came here for Mother's Day and it was great. Great service and great food. Wife got the trio French toast and I got the Chèvre omelette both were great. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed. Good middle of the road prices and high end food. This place if off the beaten path but well worth it.

  • Mimi C.

    chez meme (MIMI!! jk haha) is super tucked away from the main south kiehi road. we biked down what looked like a commercial, slightly industrial area... looking and looking.. then realized chez meme is located right next to a car dealer and is obscured by it. the menu is limited and they have 2 different menus. one for weekdays and one for weekends. they have a buy 1 get 1 free breakfast special M-T. we went on a sunday. doh. apparently, you can still order weekday menu if you want *just don't have that buy 1 get 1 free offer* we ordered a french toast to share. it is HUGE!! 3 large fluffy brioche bread, full of egg flavor and really rich. there were 3 toppings - strawberry, banana, and candied apples with raisins. comes with 100% canadian syrup. lol .. in hawaii of all places!! :) overall, a great brunch option in the area if you don't want to go to kihei caffe. however, be prepared to pay more for this joint. while it is super cute, simple, and comfy. that french toast was a $12 meal. good thing it was extremely filling. there were only a few people in here... hopefully it will survive.

  • Brenda S.

    Tried this place out for breakfast. Got there first thing on a Saturday morning....suggest to go early as they get pretty busy. Also lunch crowd is wild at this place!! Daily soup sells out FAST!!! It's in a cute little cottage style house tucked back off the main roads in Kihei. You actually might think your getting a transmission or clutch installed -- but once you arrive at the Bistro, the ambiance, the friendly owner/staff, and the food will make you forget that you're off the beaten path. You might think it's a bit pricey for breakfast but you really do get enormous portions and it's all fresh ingredients. They have a 1/2 pound mahi mahi sandwich with soup on the lunch menu....I really hope I get the chance to try this place out again during my stay. If not, I'll most definitely be back and hope they are still doing what they do best.

    Hands down the best place in Maui for breakfast and lunch. Pear salad, french toast and ratatouille sandwich. I would eat at Chez Meme every day and would never get tired of the food. They make their own breads and they are delicious.

  • Georges A.

    Disclaimer: I know the owner. Was looking forward to checkout our friend's place. Off the beaten path, this charming open window house is the perfect setting for breakfast or a lazy brunch. I ordered the ratatouille baguette and my wife had the goat cheese salad. Very tasty, perfect size and of course, friendly service. Even tho it was typical Hawaiian hot weather, I got tempted to order a coffee with lunch. It's served in a fun individual size french press and was just excellent. Breakfast menu looks fantastic. We'll be back to check that next.

  • Sumit A.

    What's Good - Go here for the food which is tasty and over all high quality, in large part because it is prepared using local fresh ingredients (local brioche, a local Portuguese sausage, and fresh veggies). The outdoor seating is really nice when the weather supports it. In this area i'd rate them a 4 on 5 What's Not Good - The service was spacey and impersonal. Food wait times felt unreasonably long. We were there at 9:30 am, when the place was 60% full and it took 45 min to get eggs and sausage. We found it hot and muggy on the inside (this is perhaps better in the night). Rating 2/5 Overall, this is certainly a one time visit and more if you have a good experience.

  • Deanna D.

    We found this little gem right here on yelp. It's tucked away so you really have to look. When we first walked in I noticed the homemade turnovers. We tried the triple berry.... Mmm sooo good!! In fact I'm craving one right now. I ordered the banana French toast. What kicks up their French toast is the homemade brioche bread. Oh sooo good. They also use it for their toast along with homemade jam!! You won't be sorry for trying this place. We will definitely go back.

  • Natalie G.

    French menu items always raise the bar immediately for me and I was not disappointed. Chuck our waiter was funny and attentive and we enjoyed a private breakfast outside. He recommended eggs Benedict and the French toast trio so we dove right in. Absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness and freshness. If you're looking for pastries, they start baking them close to when the restaurant opens so if you come right away you may not get one. However, we got the first mango turnover right out of the oven- yum! It's not cheap but the food gives the feeling of gourmet and I wish I had enough time in Maui to try everything on the menu! Update (changed to 4 stars): on our second visit, due to the business the food quality suffered. Two of our three pieces of French toast were burnt and the whipped cream looked like it had been sitting awhile. Hopefully this was just a fluke because our first trip was so spectacular!

    Seeking a brunch place after a quick bite, a Yelp bakery search brought us here. It's not far from our hotel, about a fifteen minute drive from the Grand Wailea and definitely has a local feel. As you walk up the steps, you feel as if you are entering someone's home, which it probably was at some time. The menu is posted in front and their baked goods are generally displayed at the front counter which was bare by the time we arrived around 11 am on a recent Sunday morning. We decided to have lunch here and there were only three or four occupied tables. There are three dining areas: outside to the left of the building or either of two dining sections separated by a walkway to the kitchen and a restroom (the other restroom for men's is outside and to the right). After debating between a breakfast meal or a sandwich, I chose the beef bourguinon sandwich ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ). The sauce was nicely flavored and decent amount of onions but wished a bit more mushrooms... me and my shrroooooms! The beef was less of a beef stew or chunk and more like a pulled pork texture though the flavors were consistent with the red wine sauce profile. Our young waiter was both enthusiastic and had that aloha spirit in refilling water glasses and checking on our needs. Wish we got to try more things but, as you know, timing is everything! Would stop by again if in the area and hope to try some of their daily specials which are made with local ingredients and fruits.

    I learned about Chez Meme by online reviews when I was looking for a new restaurant to try. They serve breakfast all day, but they also have sandwiches, which is what I was craving. The location is a little out of the way, but it's not hard to find. There's a large parking lot in back, and the owner told me that people are able to leave bicycles against the building. I arrived at 1:45pm -- shortly before their closing time of 2pm. I was able to place my to-go order. The server was friendly and helpful. The owner came out to talk with me, and he was very nice. There's a sister restaurant near Vancouver, Canada. The food was fresh and good. I had the daily special -- mahi mahi with rice and a salad with a goat cheese or creamy butter topping. I was able to try both. I also ordered a Beef Bourguignon sandwich to take to work since I was told it reheats well. It was also very good! All in all, the food is top notch, the restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly. If you arrive after 12pm, the pastries are 2 for 1.

    Found this breakfast spot on yelp! Great food and awesome service! Food tasted fresh and homemade from the jam, bread, pastries, fruit, and entrees. Off the main road but not hard to find. I got the French toast trio with fresh pinnapple, Apple, raisins, bananas ...

  • Alyssa J.

    I forgot we had been here last year but after seeing the menu I'm pretty sure I had the goat cheese omelet last year as well. Portions are generous here and food is pretty tasty. Service is nice here. The drawback to this place? There are way too many flies to sit back and leisurely enjoy your food. Maybe it was the particular day but I eventually found myself hovering over my meal because the effort of constantly shooing flies off my plate/ glass we too much to deal with.

    #100in2015 (#41) Brunch here was very pleasant. Indoor and outdoor tables are available and the screen porch like vibe is relaxing. We had lattes and a cinnamon roll to start with (bready rather than flaky) and then the special which was croque madame. Filling, with thick fresh bread and fried potatoes on the side. Very good homemade jam. Solid performance.

  • Lev L.

    Stumbled upon this place right before we were headed to the airport for our flight back home. We were in a bad mood but once eating breakfast here we were back in high spirits. I first tried the Bavarian cream turnover it was amazing light and flaky with not too much Bavarian cream to over power the pastry. I had an omelet it was cooked to perfection the house potatoes were outstanding. All of the bread they serve is homemade so the toast was perfection. Add a little of their blueberry jam and becareful not to bite your finger off when the toast is done. My wife had the French Toast which ofcourse I helped her finish because the portion is really big. It was fluffy and moist and the fruits on top apple, banana and raisins were incredible. Our 10 hour flight back to ny was much better because we came across this cafe. The ambience is nice you can either sit inside or out. I highly recommend this place but eat here early in your vacation because I can bet you will want to return.

    Somehow my hubby stumbled on this gem when he was on the island. He raved about it so much he looked up their one additional location in Vancouver, BC and took me for breakfast (even more impressive when you realize we live in Southern California). At any rate, the BC location blew my socks off. So when we came to Maui I couldn't wait to try this location. Omg Canada has nothing on this! The lilikoi and guava pastries are AH-mazing! My hubby loves their French toast with pineapple I had a breakfast croissant that would make angels weep. Even their basic toast with homemade jam is spectacular! We have dinner reservations booked and I'm so excited to see what they do with the night menu. If it's even half as good as their breakfast menu I'll die happy:)

    We had some of the homemade triple berry jam and it was off the chart. Get some of the French toast on the side just to have a taste. It's worth it.

    Couldn't be happier. Great service at 8:45 on a Monday morning. We had the French toast, a butter croissant special sandwich with eggs, mozzarella and bacon, eggs Benedict with ham, Portuguese sausage and a slice of French toast (we were full). The food was all fresh and delicious, the delicious jam perfect on everything. Fresh vanilla latte to go along with. Truly worth trying and we will be returning!

    A self-described breakfast snob, I am always on the hunt for a great morning meal. During my most recent trip to Maui, I found one at Chez Mēmē Bistro & Bakery. Open only about two years at the time of my visit, the restaurant didn't show up on any social media radar when my wife and I last visited Maui about 18 months prior. Now, though, things are different and I am about to add my praise to the list. Located in an industrial area about a quarter mile off S. Kihei Rd., right across from a Goodyear Tire Center, it would be easy to miss, which would be unfortunate. Greeted by the server as I was perusing the menu posted on the lanai, I was invited to take a seat wherever I was comfortable, either at one of a handful of outdoor tables or inside the restaurant. I chose to eat indoors but quickly realized the large picture windows were actually screens, not glass, allowing the trade breezes into the room but keeping the bugs and birds at bay. My server brought coffee as I weighed my options. To my delight, the coffee was dark and rich, not like the lighter Kona coffee that is served in so many places on the islands. He then told me that house-made turnovers had just come out of the oven and listed the various fruit fillings available. I chose the lemon curd, and found the crust incredibly delicate and flaky, with a great sweet-tart filling. Topped with a drizzle of sugar glaze, it was absolutely spot on! I had been eying the Brioche French toast served with pure Canadian maple syrup, fresh whipped cream, powdered sugar, and my choice of pineapple, caramelized apples and raisins, or bananas. However, combined with the turnover, that would have been a fairly carb-heavy breakfast, so I decided on the breakfast of two eggs, Portuguese sausage, sautéed potatoes, and homemade toast and jam. The eggs were perfectly scrambled: neither too dry nor too moist. The sausage was better than many I've had, with a little more spice than others which seem little more than coarse-ground hot dogs. House-made rye toast and three-berry jam topped things off. Portion size was perfect as well: not so large that my choices were either to stuff myself or waste food, but large enough that I left satisfied. The breakfast menu contained other items including the café's take on the loco moco. While breakfast is served any time the place is open salads, sandwiches and soups are also on offer for lunch. Chez Mēmē is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., seven days a week. I am sure I'll go back.

    My mom and I were looking for a good place for breakfast, so I consulted trusty Yelp. Boy, the reviews don't lie. This place was absolutely peaceful, relaxing and worth every penny. Everything we had was delicious and fresh. The basil is from the owner's garden and they bake all breads and pastries fresh daily. The service was wonderful and our server, Charles, was funny and friendly, without the forced overbearing feeling you can get from servers trying to hard. Try the Chevre Omlette, french toast trio, any of the fresh turnovers, and the spicy, refreshing Hawaiian bloody mary. We're going to try to come back before we leave in a few days. Yum!!!

    Our waitress is nice, thats why this place gets an extra star, yup, food was... Basic. You want no flavor holandaise sauce on your eggs? Come here., you want a plate of eggs and a tiny sliver of sausage? Come here! The jam was great tho, they ran out so we plan to come back to buy some to take home.

    After eating a boring breakfast at Kihei Caffe earlier in the week, I was happy to find this cute little house/cafe on Yelp for breakfast. We were greeted by a friendly staff who let us sit wherever we wanted. I ordered the French Toast with caramelized apples and raisins which came with 2 pieces. My husband had the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Ham. I usually don't order French Toast, but this one was the best I've had. Better than the one we had at Kihei Caffe! The Canadian maple syrup was delicious too and the portion was just right so although I gave 1/2 of one to my husband, I finished my plate. The sautéed potatoes that came with the eggs benedict was fresh and tasty. I only wished that they served better tasting coffee. The mug was huge so I didn't need any refills, but it just tasted bland like water. Either they're not using good Hawaiian coffee or they didn't brew it properly. Overall, good breakfast and enjoyed our last meal in Maui!

    BEST breakfast place in Maui! I will be recommending Chez Meme to all my friends. The pineapple French toast melted in my mouth and the turnovers were to die for. My kids had the smoked ham eggs Benedict, strawberry French toast, & eggs with portugese sausage and home style potatoes. They loved their dishes as well. Great job Chez Meme! You all rock!

    Horrible, different chef, different breads, bad experience!!! It appears all the pictures on Yelp are from 2014 and it's not accurate to the experience we had today on 8_29_15. Just would like everyone to know... Suggestions are: bring the old baker back or update menu stating no baguette. The toast that came with the omlete dish was a piece of Frech Toast, minus the French part, not a nice crunchy toasted baguette... They also refused to take off the French Soup, totally different then discribed on menu and was so watery and no layer of cheese... Just frustrated paying $100 for breakfast and it was not anything near what u expect, latte was like warm extra milky coffee...

    I love, love, love this place. I've had one less than favorable experience but it's forgivable, considering how delicious the food is and how cool and kind the servers are. Chez Meme also has one of the cutest lanais in Kihei--it's a garden! In France! Except you're in Kihei!--and their selection of baked goods is fantastic. I hosted my mom's birthday party here and couldn't have had a better morning with her. Go, go, go--you will not regret it.

    I'm afraid their popularity has effected this great little restaurant. The delicious edge has gone off their breakfast items. Crowded at breakfast time in mid-January, service was still good and reasonably quick. But my omelette, which was suppose to be ham and raclette cheese, was a plain egg omelette folded over some pieces of ham and a bit of cheese. On only three bites could I begin to taste the cheese. Nothing was mixed into the eggs. Basically it was one lousy omelette by the lowest of standards. My wife's baguette was similarly disappointing, from the bread to the ham to the sauce. That was especially disappointing, since their bread was a highlight of our previous visits. But they were busy and obviously are making it into the tour guide books. We'll leave them for the tourists to enjoy.

    Food here is quality. The fruit on the French Toast Trio is really fresh. The staff is amazing and has a lot of info about what to do around the island. Expect so items to be a tad high on the cost side but hey....it's Hawaii. The pastries are also good.

    Went for dinner last night and it was wonderful. I had the meatloaf with garlic mash potatoes with incredible mushroom gravy, and a fresh pineapple mojito. My husband had the grilled chicken with fettuccini...we topped it off with their berry tart..everything tasted so delicious and our server was great..you felt like you were home visiting and having a wonderful family dinner..

    Me and my bf are from Oahu... on Maui for our 5 yr anni... first glance at this place, looks like a converted home to bistro. Cute decor. Nice open seating. Amazing service! THANK YOU KENDALL!! Got a cappuccino and caramel americano. YUM! Ordered french toast trio and beef bourguignon omelet. Both were sooooooo amazing! I hope this place never changes, so when we visit Maui again, it'll be just like we never left! (P.S. good luck with the dinners, I'm sure you'll do well!)

    If you are staying in Kihei, or anywhere in Maui for that matter, this breakfast is D-elicious. Like if you're scrolling through right now trying to find out where to go for breakfast, GO HERE. I am quite hard to please when it comes to Eggs Benedict, however the special today, Mahi Mahi Eggs Benedict, sounded too good to pass up... And man am I glad I didn't! Amazing. Big portions, big flavor. Also served with a slice of toast with homemade jelly, and I never eat toast with jelly, but damn was it good. Lastly, Double shot latte w/ vanilla. To die for. Will be back here every time I visit Maui.

    A surprisingly fantastic eatery off the beaten path....so glad we found this place. Stopped in for breakfast on our way to the airport. Using quality ingredients, the food was amazing. Everything we had was great, you won't go wrong with Chez Meme! Their triple berry jam was da bomb!

    Burt says Chez Meme is ChezAwesome!! A little bit off the path. Turn away from the ocean at Maui Dive Shop on Kihei rd. It's a Nice little house turned cafe. Burt thinks they have Great latte's. Everything Burt's had from here has been very good. Standouts being Mahi mahi tacos! All freshly cooked pastries, and bacon! Highly recommended for breakfast and lunch. Burt and the old lady have not been for dinner but Burt is gonna drag her fat ass out soon. Look for an update.

    5 stars x a million. Are you kidding me... Real delightful French food on Maui, on a small side street. Breakfast until 2 pm plus lunch menu after 12. Now they are opening for dinner 3 days Per Week. These chefs make the classics look easy to serve up... Beef, Lamb, French onion soup. It was all Amazing! Do try this delightful restaurant! You will think you are sitting in Bordeaux, except there is a warm friendly Aloha vibe and a translator is not necessary. The coconut macaroons have a little pineapple touch that is so refreshing!!!l We will definitely come here again

    Off the beaten path is the truth and worth finding. Walked into a light crowd at 9:30am. Instantly greeted by our waitress Kendelll and seated. Very cool little place with great ambience considering the industrial location. Coffee, tea and mango mimosa were all very good. French toast with apples and raisins, another with bananas were both awesome. Personally I did not need the Canadian maple syrup but the kids liked it. Bacon was some the best any of us have ever had! Definitely get a side of bacon you will not regret it. I got the daily special omelette with chicken, spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella which was very good. The homemade three berry jam and bread kicked ass. If not for under cooked poached eggs it would be a 5 star. Overall another great meal and experience in Maui, food and service both excellent.

    Very good breakfast food, but I have to take a star away because on the day we went the service was incredibly slow. We showed up a little after 8 AM - they were open but clearly not ready to actually serve and cook. The waitress was very prompt but then it took forever for he drinks and food to come out. That said, the waitress was very nice and friendly, and she did keep us updated about our order. And when it finally came out my omelette was quite good - excellent in fact. But we were in there for about 90 minutes for what was a pretty simple breakfast. I get that Maui time runs a bit slower than mainland time, but this was way slower, and way slower than every other place we ate at around Maui I would definitely go back, and I do recommend it for the food. I would just suggest that they work on their service timing a bit. They may need to start prepping before the opening, and maybe have more front staff available at the opening.

    Kind of out of the way spot, whose looks can be deceiving. I ordered the special Croque Madame and my wife had the eggs over medium... the home fries, homemade bread, and homemade jam (ours was blueberry) were all amazing. We also had a mango nectar mimosa (which was a bit heavy on the champagne side but we arent really drinkers) and black coffee (strong and good). We were so impressed by the bread that we ordered a loaf to go. Try this place when you'd like to get away from crowds of people and just want a good homestyle breakfast. Loved it, will be back again.

    Probably my least favorite meal on the island. To be fair we've had really great food thus far, but I was surprised that this place was reviewed so highly on Yelp. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I had the Eggs Benedict and my husband had the Chicken Tuscany Omelet. They were both ok, but nothing special about them. Also, I wasn't a big fan of the toast that came with it. I love my breads, but this bread was bland and dry. The service was uninviting and fairly slow. Most of the staff seemed to hang out in the back. We even saw a couple come in who was not greeted for several minutes so they left. The most interaction we had with the staff was regarding their attempt to sell pastries. They tried "tempting" us 4 separate times (twice by our own server and once each by two other servers). The location is a bit odd and uninviting too. Not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.

    By far my favorite restaurant in Maui. No matter what else you order, get a side of the French toast!

  • Adam C.

    Finally a place that didn't charge an arm and a leg for great food! This place was in the local area near wailea. If you are looking for some damn good french toast or eggs benedict then this is your place. The atmosphere was so relaxing I could have stayed all day. The food was really good, the staff was really well spoken and recommended some tasty options. All in all, this was a really nice change in pace from all the touristy things we've done while on our vacation. Highly recommended!
