After spending all morning at the Princeville Hotel, our stomachs were growling with hunger. We decided to fill our tummies, and our choice was Café Hanalei, which is located inside the Princeville Hotel. Forewarning: It’s EXPENSIVE! Their breakfast buffets were priced at $24.95 per person. I almost fainted. I was ready to walk away when my husband said, "This could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience". Naturally, being the cooperative person I am, I happily agreed to his wishes.
Café Hanalei is in a wonderful location and offers beautiful views of Hanalei Bay. You have a choice to sit inside or out on the covered terrace. Since the weather was unpredictable, we requested an inside table. There were tables all throughout the café. You did have nearby neighbors, but it wasn’t too close for comfort, mind you.
Their breakfast buffet choices were extensive. There were two chefs standing by who were waiting to make your breakfast of French toast, fluffy Belgian waffles, pancakes, eggs fixed just the way you like them, bacon, sausage, toast, pastries, cereals, and so much more. Whatever your heart desired, they had.
Café Hanalei Review:
After spending $51.98 for breakfast, it kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. Although enjoyable, we would not eat here again. We feel we can get the same type of food and "taste" for a lot less. But if you want to splurge on breakfast and have glorious views, then Café Hanalei is the perfect place.
