Caffe Ciao

We visited the Kea Lani for a week and went here for ice cream 3 – 4 times because it was so good! It’s made in Hawaii too! I especially recommend the cookie dough. It’s also our 6^th time back to Maui and Café Ciao has always been a good place for a quick snack or coffee.

We visited Maui and stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani, so in my exploring adventures I stumbled upon Café Caio. As I found everywhere in Maui, the service was extremely pleasant here.
I ended up stopping in every morning for a latte, we got free breakfast with our room at the buffet that had coffee as well, but I’m an espresso girl myself. The lattes were delicious, and there are plenty other tea, hot chocolate, and espresso options here for anyone looking to spice up their morning coffee. Their breakfast-​to-​go options looked great as well, especially if you’re looking for something quick and healthy like a smoothie, parfait, or acai bowl. I’m sad I wasn’t able to try the bowl! Next time.
This is also their convenience store, liquor store, and mini grocery at the hotel so you are able to find many things you may have forgotten or might need to complete your trip! Fresh fruits, beer, wine, liquor, sunscreen, etc.
Finally, if you’re looking for a treat, their gelato and ice cream looked fabulous as well and they have multiple choices. Highly recommend for a pick me up or sweet treat!

Stayed at the Fairmont so this was an easy pick for coffe. I’m vegan so I had a soy macchiato which was good and a soy cappuccino that was good. Since I was in Maui during a particularly hot time, I would like to have had a nice, cool place to have my hot coffee. This place had limited seating, and based on the name and description, I expected a nicer atmosphere in which to enjoy my coffee. Not a lot of reasons for a vegan to dine here. It is more like a convenience store than café or coffee bar.

Caffe Ciao was a frequent stop for us during our stay at the Fairmont. I went to Caffe Ciao almost every morning for a specialty coffee drink. The best was the Peanut Butter Latte or the Mud Pie Latte, topped with whipped cream and crushed oreos. The Caffe has a delicious Bagel & Lox platter, which comes with: Salmon, lemon wedges, capers, purple onions, cream cheese and choice of bagel. It is the perfect amount of food for breakfast. They also have breakfast sandwiches, waffles and fresh fruit available.
The Caffe has a decent selection of beer, wine and liquor. It isn’t the most reasonably priced alcohol I’ve ever seen, but it is convenient.
They also have a selection of fresh made sandwiches and side dishes (such as pasta salad, quiche and mac n cheese), and pastries. The Caffe also has a section for gourmet crackers, artisan cheese and Boar’s Head brand deli meats. My family and I tried the brie, proscuitto wrapped around mozzarella, and the different flavors of goat cheese (my favorite was the Garden Herb). The fresh salami was also very good.
The Caffe was never too busy and the food was always ready in a timely fashion. All of the restaurants at the Fairmont have high quality food, but the portions are always quite large. Caffe Ciao is a great place to pick out snacks, drinks and smaller meals.

This deli has multiple options and all are good no matter what meal you are buying. Service is good, fairly quick, and nice to take to your room and eat on your lanai. It is convenient and the variety is good. Meals, beer, wine, pastries, pastas, sandwiches, desserts. This is the place. If you are staying at the hotel for an extended visit, this place will become your friend!

Very friendly, small little café…
Fresh baked goods daily!
All the favorite local stuff.
It’s a blend of a café and convenience shop!
Express so and favorite unique coffee drinks.

Stayed at the Fairmont Kea Lani for a week and had coffee here everyday. Try the coconut and macadamia nut coffee. This café is a great option for a quick bite their mac n cheese is great! They also sell liquor, wine & beer at reasonable prices for Maui.

Came here for a ‘cheap eat’ at the Fairmont Hotel. At the time, the only dining choices was here, Ko and Fish Market. The latter were upscale sit-​down restaurants. Caffe Ciao has both made food like sandwiches and pizzas as well as pre-​made items like cheeses, sausages, wines and drinks. I ordered the 12″
$ 21 Garlic Chicken Pizza from the room. It came out around 15 minutes later and I came around that time to pick it up. It was very delicious! I just wished it opened later instead of closing at 9PM. Its such a great and low-​key eatery outside of the fancy sit-​down affairs at the resort.

Definitely recommend this small café for fresh deli sandwiches and fresh fruit. Think an expensive version of in-​hotel Panera Bread. Would recommend for anyone staying at the Fairmont Kea-​Lani.
Try smoked turkey, potato salad, roasted veggies, tuna salad, fruit cups, pastries, and coffee. All delicious!
4 stars only because of price, if 20% less expensive it would be 5 stars.

Room service alternative! We picked up a mushroom sausage pizza and caesar salad here on our last night staying at the fairmont. Both were yummy, especially the pizza. We also picked up some straciatella gelato for dessert. Super yum!
This is a great option for take out by the pool or for your room (note — much better than room service or polo lounge!). Our food was ready in 15 minutes. The specialty coffees are also well made… very important for my caffeine addicted hubby!
Definitely recommend!

Great fresh food. Try the hummus wrap for lunch. Must have eaten it five times during our stay at the Fairmont. Friendly service.

A convenient place to get a quick deli lunch or breakfast. They have sandwiches, pizza, dessert, and other items. They also sell snacks and souvenirs.
There’s a nifty service where they pack a picnic basket for you. This is a great option if you’re heading on that long trip to Hana and want to picnic at one of the waterfalls or sights. They have a $ 55 basket and a $ 50 basket. We opted for the $ 55 basket which includes 2 sandwiches, 2 salads, 2 liter walers, chips, etc. I believe the other basket has fried chicken. They pack everything in a soft cooler with a few ice packs, utensils, and condiments. I got the Italian sandwich and it was huge — it was enough for 2 people.
In another trip, I got the coconut gelato which was delicious. As with anything inside a hotel, the convenience will cost you =P

Very friendly but so overpriced and food not interesting. I ordered the Reuben and a slice of pizza. That cost me well over $ 20. Goodness Gracious. .. a small can of macadamia nuts cost $ 9 + tax! Deli selection – pastas, salads, sandwiches.

Great little grocery/​deli/​breakfast spot in the Fairmont Kea Lani just inside from the adult pool. The fresh pineapple is a sweet deal (pun intended) where you get a quarter of fresh pineapple in cubes for only $ 3. Also available is melon, papaya and other fruits. Many salads, wraps and sandwiches including customer made sandwiches are available for purchase to go or to eat at the limited number of in and outdoor tables. There’s an ice cream selection, speciality coffees and juices.
Breakfast sandwiches are excellent as are the selection of pastries. This was my favorite casual restaurant in the Kea Lani and the prices are extremely reasonable.

The chocolate croissant was a biggie and filling. The macadamia muffin was really worth a try.

If you are staying at the Kea Lani, this will be your salvation. It’s a cute little coffee shop/​deli that can provide quick breakfasts, snacks and pizza. We grabbed coffee and breakfast sandwiches most morning before heading to the beach or snorkeling. It’s reasonable by Kea Lani standards… but you’ll still be paying a premium (i.e., $ 3.50 for a medium drip coffee). If you aren’t staying at the hotel, then don’t bother.

A good bet for pasta and pizzas… it’s a casual sort of place, but the food and the setting are both nice.
