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).

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. 🤙

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.

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.

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.

Had a quiet and peaceful stay at this beautiful rustic cottage. Only thing missing was soap and shampoo. Fortunately, we had some. Very relaxing and rejuvenating staying in upcountry Maui. 20 minutes to entrance of Haleakala Crater National Park. Gorgeous! Thank you!

Super yummy food in a beautiful setting! The owner was closing up when my wife and I pulled up on our way to Haleakala. He was nice enough to serve us anyway (we must have had desperation in our eyes). Great place for a slowish, delicious meal.

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.

Perfect for breakfast after coming down haleakala for the sunrise. Food was excellent, service was great, and not expensive. There's also the Botanical garden and lavender farm right down the road also.

Food was fresh. Place was very clean and quiet. Waiter/cook/owner was attentive to our needs. It is the best (and only) place to get some well-deserved coffee and food after your hikes at the Haleakala national park. Highly recommend.

Great little breakfast spot. Good food and an UpCountry feel and environment. The view is slightly less appealing than Kula Lodge but the food is better and it's usually quieter and less crowded. Go left when you come down Crater Rd from your morning Haleakala sunrise trip and it will be on your left on within 30 seconds.
Great Eggs Benedict. Ask to substitute the hash browns for fried rice!

Beautiful mountain breakfast! My family stopped as we biked down from Haleakala. Great food, views, smells, and service.

Perfect place to stop for breakfast after Skyline zip line! Beautiful patio overlooking a beautiful view. Everything here is fresh, from the flowers to the food.

Coming down from Haleakala was a magical experience filled with rainbows of all shapes and sizes. Halfway down the hill, you stumble upon a little bed and breakfast cafe. It's a glimpse into the Hawaiian escape and very cute. Food is generic breakfast but very well made eggs and hash :) make sure you stop by and grab a bite with a beautiful view.

Was riding my bike up to Haleakala and stopped here. Delicious, freshly baked banana muffins! Friendly service. Would definitely go back.

We not only stayed at the cottage for two nights, we also had breakfast at the cafe. The food was delicious, the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. There were many local people dining at the cafe on Saturday morning.

This is the place what you want visit after cold night and great cold sunrise on Haleakala Vulcan ! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious!! Definitely we come back ! Great service and great atmosphere we love this place !! Everything was perfect Thanks

Love this place. I always eat breakfast after going up Haleakala to watch the sunrise. This location offer friendlier service than Kula Lounge and quicker service with only one person manning the restaurant. The food is always excellent and I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place for breakfast coming down from Haleakala. Reasonable prices for Maui and a good environment inside with outside seating also available looking down at the valley and over at the West Maui Mountains. Would definitely come back whenever I find myself on this side of the island.
