Kula Sandalwoods Inn & Cafe

Located just next to Haleakala National Park, Kula Sandalwoods Inn and Cafe is a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch after visiting the summit. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is delicious. The owner is very sweet and welcoming, and has taken good care of the place. There is lots of foliage to admire, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The French toast is amazing, and the Egg Benedict is also very good. You get free coffee refills, and the staff won't push you to leave soon. There are restrooms on the premises, and plenty of parking. Overall, Kula Sandalwoods Inn and Cafe is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Great breakfast after finishing the Haleakala sunrise tour. Easily located at base of mountain with enough parking. At this time, only outside dining is allowed but weather was nice. Owner was friendly and seems to have cooked the breakfast himself. Enjoyed the coffee/latte and breakfast (French toast, hash browns, and eggs Benedict).

Stopped here after watching the sunrise. We had to wait a but since this place doesn't open until 8 am and we were down after the sunrise by ~7:15, so I recommend timing it better than we did. Food was excellent, but you are definitely paying for the excellent view. I loved the fried rice instead of hashbrowns for my side. Great coffee.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful quaint little cottages nestled on a hill just outside of the Haleakalā National Park. We went up to see the sunrise at the summit of Haleakalā, and after that, we came down and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast (get the fried rice side!!), good coffee, and friendly conversation. We would absolutely stay here again. Picture of the beautiful sunrise at Haleakalā.

Extremely grateful to have had breakfast here one morning. Great good, beautiful view, and got to meet the owner. Sincerely hoping these guys are doing OK after the Maui wildfire, and hope to see them back in action soon. 🤙

This place was a true hidden gem, we watched the sunrise at the summit from Mt. Haleakala and worked up quite the appetite from the early morning journey. We drove back down the mountain and came acrossed this quaint cafe that surely did NOT dissapoint. Had great menu options and the service was extremely kind and attentive. We sat on the front porch and had a great view while we reflected on the morning we had. I will never forget this spot. I wish I could give it 10 stars.

As we went on a vacation to Maui, we decided to stop by this clean and welcoming cafe. There was no one there which we were happy about from this Coronavirus time, and we we also got sit outside. The place was very neat as there is a nicely mowed lawn with a gazebo. When we went in, we were nicely greeted. Everywhere was very neat and tidy which we really liked. Even the bathroom was very clean and for people like us who care so much about bathrooms were very impressed. The eggs were delicious with the hash browns which had an amazing flavor and crunchiness was score. The service was one of my stars of this cafe. I highly recommend stopping by this cafe when you go to any trails ahead for a light and delicious meal. This cafe was probably one of the best cafes we went on our Maui trip.

We didn't stay at the Inn, but we did enjoy 2 great breakfasts here in 10 days! James, the owner, waiter, is wonderful and hard working! He covers the room very well! My husband enjoyed the pancakes with macadamia nuts and I simply found the eggs benedict, veggie style perfect. I had them once with spinach, and once without...both great! That sauce.....that sauce....! I didn't care for the potatoes but you can get fried rice cooked in bacon fat. Looked great, but not for a vegetarian, sadly! Lovely fruit garnishes the plate! Truly exceptional...and, actually enjoyed this place more than others in the area that are known for breakfast. If you like great benedicts, you will not be disappointed!
