Banandi

Stopped here by luck. Had some of the best crepes I’ve ever had in my life! I had the ham and cheese and my girlfriend had the Nutella one! A little on the pricey side ($ 10.50) but portions were really big!

It was good but a bit plain, if you want extras it gets super expensive. The crepes were well made however and the savory one had quite a bit of cheese.

$ 16+ for a basic bacon and egg crêpe with cheese added to it. Maybe 2 strips of bacon. Shoulda just walked away when he told me the total. Nice kid though.

You know how people shouldn’t Facebook or go on Amazon when they’re drunk… People shouldn’t Unilocal when they’re hungry…
After reading the consistent 4 – 5 star ratings, I was looking forward to a local food truck that served crepes. It was a welcome break from overpriced resort food.
Mushrooms and cheese… No sorry we’re out of mushrooms.
Salami and cheese. No sorry we’re out of salami.
Ok nutella and strawberries, do you have that?
After reading the amazing review about nutella and strawberries, I thought this was a sure thing. I understand Kauai is expensive so 8.95 for a nutella crêpe and additional 2.95 for strawberries seemed tolerable…
Yes the crêpe was really pretty. There was a nice presentation of three slices with powdered sugar… Then I ate the crêpe… i think I paid 2.95 for one strawberry. It was 98% nutella, which is great… But I paid for strawberries. I think every other bite I had a piece of strawberry that was the size of my pinky nail.
I actually wished I stayed at the resort and paid $ 10 for a bagel and lox. I’ve had croissants that left me more full than that poor crêpe I had.
The person running the stand is really nice and from what I understand it’s family owned and I respect that, but come on Unilocalers, let’s be more realistic before we shout from the rooftops.
Granted this is probably the only place you can get crepes or a light lunch that’s not as overpriced as resort food, but still… Five stars, people!!!
Summary: it’s a good crêpe that’s priced high due to location and basically no competition, don’t go out of your way for this.
Now, Unilocal responsibly before you lead other Unilocalers heartbroken and hungry…

Good coffee and amazing crepes! A great little stop for a tasty breakfast with all kids of fresh fruits!

My husband and I are self proclaimed coffee snobs from Oregon and really wanted to find a good espresso on the island. We were pleased to find this little gem! We talked to the young guy for a bit and got to hear their family story. They are from Ukraine and have been through quite a lot! Anyway, best espresso we’ve found on the island. Wish they had almond milk, but I loved the Americano! We will be back!

Fantastic crepes and coffee. Our family of 8 tried sweet and savory crepes, plus coffee. AMAZING. A much, much better option than breakfast at the resorts for less than half the price. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Just happened to drive by this coffee/​crêpe truck, and so glad we stopped. What a little gem of a place! The coffee was great and the customer service was awesome. Had a great conversation with one of the owners about his and his family’s journey to kauai. Great story!

Delicious! We had the Bacon and Eggs, Mushroom and Cheese, Honey and Apples, and Chicken and Mushroom Crepes. The chicken was a little dry, but everything else was delicious! Highly recommend the honey and apples.

Drove 20 mts each way two days in a row to eat here, the strawberry Nutella crêpe was that good. Why not 5 stars you ask? I also got the chicken portabello crêpe on the first day which was good but the chicken was too dry.
Clearly they take their crepes seriously and each one seems to be custom made with a lot of attention. It translates to a bit of a wait if there are others there but it is worth it IMHO. The guys who works here seems really nice. I could not place the accent though (Russian?).

Crepes were delicious, service was great and there’s plenty of room to sit and eat outside. Each crêpe is pretty substantial in size. Bacon with scrambled eggs and cheese, and the Nutella with strawberries and bananas were both excellent.

Crepes were a little thicker than I like. We got the bacon and scrambled egg crêpe and added mushrooms. They put cream cheese in the crêpe and the eggs and mushrooms were cooked to perfection. My personal preference is crunchy bacon not chewy, my husband likes chewier bacon so he loved it. All in all it was a good crêpe. A little on the pricey side as is everything in Kauai.

Coffee is great, let me repeat that, the coffee is great. They also have great fruit crepes that go with the coffee. It is a food truck set up, with some picnic tables covered behind the truck.

Hands down best espresso on the island. We came here for our daily dose of coffee every day.

I think this is owned by the same family that owns the adjacent liquor store. The person that operates the truck is one of the owners, and he is super friendly. The crepes are delicious. I especially like the mushroom crêpe with cheddar and swiss. Parking was a little confusing to me, as there are many signs saying parking for the liquor store, but that parking is for the food trucks too (Trucking Delicious is the other food truck at this location). Also, the espresso is the best we had on the island, and we are espresso snobs (small commercial Nuova Simonelli setup at home). Don’t waste your time buying espresso anywhere else on Kauai, because it will just be bland and bitter. Banandi knows how to pull a shot. There is covered seating behind the truck.

I’ve had the chance to try multiple savory crepes here since my initial review and all were excellent. I’ve opted to update my star rating from 4 to 5 because even though one crêpe appears to be a little on the pricey side, they’re undoubtedly enough for two people to share which ultimately makes it a good deal.
***Original Review***
The crepes are exactly what I was hoping they’d be. My kids and I love to get their Nutella and banana crepes. Next on my list is to try one of their savory crepes. While the quality of the crepes are worth five stars, I gave four stars due to the prices; although, the prices are fairly typical for all things food on Kauai. And, while a bit pricey, you won’t leave hungry as the crepes are big and filling enough to be shared between two people.
